Crack Cocaine Convictions

Justice Department Moves To Toss Sedition Convictions Sparking Outrage

The Justice Department has requested a federal appeals court to dismiss the seditious conspiracy convictions of leaders from the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers. This move would further erase the legal consequences for these individuals, following pardons previously granted by former President Trump. Prosecutors cited a consistent practice of seeking dismissal in cases where it is deemed in the interest of justice. The government’s request aims to vacate the convictions, effectively dismissing the indictments for those found guilty of orchestrating plots to disrupt the transfer of power after the 2020 election.

Florida Prosecutor Clears 1980s Police-Made Crack Charges

Broward County State Attorney Harold F. Pryor will seek to vacate up to 2,600 convictions stemming from a 1988-1990 Broward County Sheriff’s Office sting operation involving sheriff’s office-manufactured crack cocaine. A 1993 Florida Supreme Court ruling deemed these prosecutions illegal due to the Sheriff’s Office’s creation of the drugs used in the sting. This action follows a review of old records revealing lingering convictions from this operation, which often resulted in harsh penalties including mandatory minimum sentences. The State Attorney’s office will contact affected individuals, and Sheriff Gregory Tony supports this effort to overturn these convictions.
