The Marshall Project was named to honor the much respected, first African-American Supreme Court Justice, Thurgood Marshall. The Marshall Project is dedicated to making Americans aware of the fault lines of the American Justice System. We’ve been told for so long that our justice system is broken; the group’s goal, to quote their mission statement, “is to make the justice system more fair, more effective, and humane.” Marshall Project Data Reporter Waihua Li is going to tell us all we need to know, including why crime stats are worse than we ever thought, and worse than has been reported.

It is horrible that we have to say “ the latest mass shooting.” 19 children and two of their brave teachers, were stuck in a fourth-grade classroom in Uvalde, Texas this past Tuesday, as they were massacred by an 18-year-old murderer who was gunned down by police. Before driving to the school in full body armor and carrying an AR-15, Salvador Ramos shot his grandmother in the face, apparently over a cell phone bill. If his grandmother survives, investigators will be able to ask her about other possible motives.

The frightening tragedy at Houston’s Astroworld, 50,000 people in attendance during the Travis Scott concert. Eight young people lost their lives, including a 9-year-old and a 14-year-old. Concert goers suffocated and trampled to death as the crowd went wild. There is just so much blame to go around. The fire marshals did not shut the concert down, the police and other security did not shut the concert down. The promoters and organizers, Live Nation, did not shut the concert down. Travis Scott? He continued to perform – although he did call out the ambulance that drove through the crowd once he saw it. Scott mentioned that someone had passed out and asked for help, but he never stopped performing. Lawsuits are coming for Travis and company.

On August 25, 2020, after the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Kyle Rittenhouse, shot and killed two men and wounded another during confrontations at two locations. He was armed with a Smith & Wesson M&P15 rifle. Rittenhouse, a then 17-year-old from Antioch, Illinois, said he was there to provide medical aid as he was carrying a medkit. At the first location, Rittenhouse was pursued by a group, including a Kenosha resident Joseph Rosenbaum. A gunshot was fired into the air by a third party, and Rosenbaum lunged at Rittenhouse and attempted to take his rifle. Rittenhouse then fired four times at Rosenbaum, who died shortly afterwards. At the second location, Rittenhouse tripped while fleeing and was kicked by a man. Rittenhouse fired twice at the man, but missed. Protesters approached Rittenhouse while he was still on the ground. Then Silver Lake resident Anthony Huber struck Rittenhouse with a skateboard and struggled for control of his rifle. Rittenhouse then fired at Huber once, killing him. West Allis resident Gaige Grosskreutz then approached Rittenhouse while holding a handgun, and Rittenhouse shot him once, severing his right bicep. Now he is 18, and being tried as an adult, facing homicide and several other serious charges. To help us break down what’s happening in this trial —from a defense point of view— criminal defense attorney Joe Rosenbaum (who ironically has the same name as one of the two men Rittenhouse shot and killed) joins Katrina Daniel for a deep dive into this fast and deadly crime spree.
