    On Monday, Howard had been one of at least six historically Black colleges and universities to receive bomb threats, prompting lockdowns and police investigations. Howard University was among the first to issue a shelter-in-place order early Tuesday, the first day of Black History Month.
    ...
    An all-clear was later issued for Howard following a probe. Like Howard, Kentucky State, Jackson State, the University of the District of Columbia, Tougaloo College and Coppin State issued "all-clear" alerts after finding the threats to be unsubstantiated soon after reporting the threats.
    ...
    Additional threats were reported at a number of other colleges and universities. NBC News has not yet confirmed those reports. At least eight historically Black colleges had faced similar threats on Jan. 5, all of which were unfounded, officials said. In the wake of earlier bomb threats this month, the FBI said it would investigate the matter.

Do prosecutors push for plea deals too often?

309 votes, 30 comments

Context: Plea deal for men convicted of killing Ahmaud Arbery rejected by judge.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

Yes - While I understand the value and expediency of using plea deals to move likely-guilty-outcome trials through the justice system, I think there is often at least a perception that "If you make us go to trial, we will make it worse for you" involved. Having a jury trial is a right, and people should not be penalized for exercising their rights.


Unsure - Whether or not to push a plea deal is relative to the circumstances of the case. The court being backlogged, ...



No - My understanding is that the perceived problem with plea deals is that they tend to sort criminals by their ability to pay for good lawyers, with rich criminals rejecting the plea deals in ...
