Ok you asked for it buddy. https://twitter.com/mehdirhasan/status/1275242691840937984
George Gage, convicted of sexual abuse of his stepdaughter, appealed to the 9th Circuit twice. The second time he was denied by a unanimous three judge panel because he kept filing petitions that failed to comply with habeas procedure.
Capital cases have a very rigid procedure under the federal statute that governs them. Also, Teague v. Lane, a SCOTUS precedent from 1989, says judges can't make up new habeas rules willy nilly.
Prosecutors can't just defy the law on a whim because they want to.

Same with that Neo Nazi in the case of Daniel Larson. That's who Mehdi is shedding tears for. Who, by the way, was supposed to be released under @JerryBrownGov.
Do you think the new AG can just not work on cases pending before the agency?

Kevin Cooper case is even more bunk, because @Schwarzenegger denied clemency in 2004. Why is it Kamala's fault he's still in prison?
Oh and how convenient that you left out the fact that Johnny Baca, who was convicted of double homicide, is still fighting his case in the courts? How much effort did you put into this? None? https://www.pe.com/2018/11/23/destroyed-evidence-could-derail-third-trial-for-man-twice-convicted-in-riverside-county-double-homicide/
Truth is, @mehdirhasan is a sexist douche who can't stand black women succeeding. So he has to invent these boogeymen, cases about which he knows nothing to smear her. It's easy to rattle off names. Harder to explain what happened.
This one doesn't have the range.

What else you want to talk about, Mehdi?
California's prisoner volunteer firefighter program that was established in 1940?
Appealing the death sentence in 2014 from Judge Carney?
The trans woman who got surgery after she was released from the prison anyway?

Understand this. #KHive has not been resting on its laurels since Kamala suspended in December. We have identified and prepared for a repeat of all the bullshit smears used in the primary.
For many of us, correcting the record on Kamala is basically a reflex now
