New Story with @inewsource: How a San Diego mega church part of a movement to put the church at the forefront of politics breaks IRS rules on political activity by nonprofits.
inewsource.org
Awaken Church appears to be violating IRS rules that prohibit it from supporting particular candidates or political parties, multiple experts say.

A Super pac is dumping money into the San Diego BOS race that could flip the board Republican in the name of "Homelessness Crisis Response." The money comes mainly from developers who need board approval for pending projects. New story with @inewsource. https://t.co/wOQFfnnRSH
inewsource.org
The former San Diego mayor is far from getting the same widespread support that he enjoys among developers from homeless advocates.

My latest with @inewsource: SD Air Pollution Control District sensors flagged high sewer gas readings near Tijuana River weeks before residents complained and the District cited the Hollister station for the first time. https://t.co/2LYKMlDlSn
inewsource.org
San Diego’s South Bay saw high hydrogen sulfide readings after the Hollister pump station broke down, but it wasn’t enough to trigger an investigation.

In the final part of our “Improper Conduct” series, @martinezsastre, @camoakes19, and @nswartsell examine a controversial legal doctrine known as harmless error- learn about why some of Ohio’s “harmless” cases may not be so harmless after all.
statenews.org
When prosecutors make mistakes at trial, judges can call that improper conduct a harmless error, saying it didn’t impact the verdict. But some experts say that legal doctrine has gone too far.

Thanks to @FundFIJ for supporting this story. Without it I would not have had funding to get this story to the finish line.

A first-of-its-kind analysis of Ohio appellate cases with allegations of withheld evidence is a window into what many experts consider a largely invisible national problem.

Experts say this is part of a national and largely invisible problem. Thank you to @DukeLaw professor @brandonlgarrett, whose research shows the scope of Brady violations nationally, for sharing his expertise and data with us for this story.

We analyzed five years of appellate decisions at @columbiajourn Investigations and found judges ruled Cuyahoga prosecutors withheld evidence more than any other Ohio county.

My latest: Prosecutors who withheld evidence faced no consequences while defendants spent decades in prison trying to prove their rights were violated at trial. With @camoakes19, @themattrichmond; @columbiajourn Investigations, @wksu, The Ohio Newsroom.

About 100 prosecutors across Ohio were found to have violated standards meant to preserve a defendant’s civil rights in criminal trials. 13 of these did so more than once. Published with @columbiajourn Investigations, @npr, @wvxu, & The Ohio Newsroom.

NEW: Ohio prosecutors broke rules to win convictions and got away with it. No data tracks allegations of prosecutorial misconduct in Ohio, so we spent nearly two years reviewing appellate court decisions to identify this improper behavior. https://t.co/QD5VD96LYa

About 100 prosecutors across Ohio violated standards meant to protect a defendant's civil rights in criminal trials, an investigation by NPR and its reporting partners found. Some did so repeatedly.
