Ehrlich, Catholic University, form legal clinic
Ehrlich, Catholic University, form legal clinic
August 05, 2013 07:56 EDT
By BRIAN WITTE Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Former Maryland Gov. Robert Ehrlich has teamed up with the Catholic University of America's Columbus School of Law to open a clinic this semester on clemency matters for people with criminal convictions.
The initiative will include a workshop for newly elected governors and their staff on clemency powers.
The CUA Law/Ehrlich Partnership on Clemency will be part of the law school's Innocence Project Clinic. Students will receive clinical experience by preparing pardon applications.
Ehrlich, who became Maryland's first Republican governor in 36 years when he was elected in 2002, made clemency requests a priority of his administration from 2003 to 2007. He says he believes it's an important part of the job description of a chief executive.

Victim in fatal California boardwalk hit-run identified as Italian woman on honeymoon; suspect arrested
A vehicle plowed through a group of people near Venice Beach, Calif., killing a woman, in an incident caught on security video cameras. NBC's Miguel Almaguer reports.
By Miguel Almaguer and M. Alex Johnson, NBC News
A California man was held on suspicion of murder after a car plowed through Los Angeles' popular Venice Beach boardwalk Saturday night, killing a young Italian woman in the U.S. for her honeymoon and injuring 11 other people, authorities said Sunday.
Police said Nathan Louis Campbell, 38, of Los Angeles, was being held on $1 million bail after he fled the scene in a dark sedan in an incident that was captured on security camera video.
The video shows a man parking a black car along the boardwalk, watching for several minutes and then speeding into the crowd about 6 p.m. (9 p.m. ET).?It shows the car careening around barriers intended to block automobiles from reaching the boardwalk's pedestrian area.
Alice Gruppioni, 32, of Italy was killed, the Los Angeles County coroner's office told NBC News. Eleven other people, all of them believed to have been pedestrians on the boardwalk, were injured, one of them critically.
The Italian news agency ANSA reported that Gruppioni, of Bologna in northern Italy, was married July 20 to Christian Casadei, an architect from Cesena.
Casadei suffered minor injuries and was at his wife's side when she died, it said, quoting Giuseppe Perrone, the Italian consul general in Los Angeles, who accompanied Casadei to the hospital.
Perrone told ANSA in a telephone interview that Casadei and his new wife were strolling along the boardwalk when the car came barreling through.
"We were walking, we were happy, we were on our honeymoon and everything, and suddenly everything changed," Casadei said, according to Perrone.
"I still can't believe it, and I don't even remember exactly what happened. It's all very confusing."
Perrone described Casadei as "destroyed and in disbelief."
Witnesses said it appeared that the driver took aim at people on the boardwalk.
"All I saw was a car emerging from the crowd driving southbound on the boardwalk just plowing through whomever was in its way," said Scott Levinsky, a vendor at the packed tourist attraction.
"We're never going to forget that moment," he said. "I'm still thankful to God that we are still alive and surviving."
Chelsea Alvarez, who was visiting the boardwalk Saturday night, said the scene was "really bad."
"There was tables, there was people everywhere, blood everywhere," she said. "There was scattered stuff. It was horrible. It was the ugliest scene I've ever seen."
Alvarez told NBC Los Angeles that her grandmother Linda Alvarez, 75, was among those hit, suffering broken ribs.
"She's good. She's just resting. She's sleeping right now," Alvarez said.
Los Angeles City Council member Mike Bonin told the station that the barriers in place at the Venice boardwalk are insufficient. He said he would ask the council to move quickly to install new barriers before the end of the year.
Gruppioni was the daughter of Valerio Gruppioni, president of Sira Group, based in Bologna, one of the world's largest producers of radiators for heating. Bologna FC, a club in the top flight of Italian soccer, confirmed her death in a statement offering condolences to Valerio Gruppioni, a former president of the club.
"President (Albano) Guaraldi and all of Bologna FC are with the Gruppioni family in this time of unspeakable pain," the club said.
In a statement Sunday, rival club AC Milan, one of the world's premier teams, expressed its "condolences to former Bologna president Valerio Gruppioni and his family following the passing of his daughter Alice."

Frugal Family Tree: Missing My Pup
We were at the mall looking around at clothing for the Fall and Summer clearance when my son spotted this display of Boo Dogs. He told me "Mom I miss my puppy Kosha". It made me so sad that he misses our dog. She was not a puppy but to him she was. The two of them were the sweetest pair of boy and dog. As soon as we get a home of our own the first thing I am getting him is a black lab puppy. I can buy him a million dog stuffed animals, and I do lol, but nothing is like having a real dog. I miss that sweet pup too.
We were updated by the people who opened their hearts and homes to our dog and she has found a permanent home with a woman who loves her. They said the woman was feeling lonely and not much made her want to go out and live life but having a dog as sweet as she is made this woman feel loved and a purpose. When I read the email update I was at work and tears started streaming down my face. I am happy someone loves Kosha as much as we did and she is living a good life.

PC sales still smashing tablets on college campuses
There is absolutely no question at this point that tablets are responsible for the global decline in PC sales. This was an inevitability that top market research firms fought at first in an effort to guard their clients, but the numbers don?t lie: PC sales are falling as tablet sales skyrocket. There are still signs of life for PCs though, and one is that people for whom work is a priority still need the software and multitasking benefits afforded by laptops and desktops. Recent market research from Deloitte found that 82% of college students own computers and 80% own smartphones, but just 18% own tablets. ?The combination of smartphones and laptops makes the tablet redundant for students,? Deloitte?s?Brent Schoenbaum told?MarketWatch. Dealnews.com?s?Louis Ramirez added that ?unless you?re shooting for a degree in Angry Birds, tablets are a horrible back-to-school purchase.?

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ? The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday paved the way for the early release of nearly 10,000 California inmates by year's end despite warnings by Gov. Jerry Brown and other state officials that a public safety crisis looms if they're forced to open the prison gates.
A majority of justices refused an emergency request by the governor to halt a lower court's directive for the early release of the prisoners to ease severe overcrowding at California's 33 adult prisons.
The decision was met with concern by law enforcement officials in the state.
Covina Police Chief Kim Raney, president of the California Police Chiefs Association, said the justices ignored efforts already underway to reduce prison populations and "chose instead to allow for the release of more felons into already overburdened communities."
Brown's office referred a request for comment to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, where Secretary Jeff Beard vowed that the state would press on with a still-pending appeal in hope of preventing the releases.
A panel of three federal judges had previously ordered the state to cut its prison population by nearly 8 percent to roughly 110,000 inmates by Dec. 31 to avoid conditions amounting to cruel and unusual punishment. That panel, responding to decades of lawsuits filed by inmates, repeatedly ordered early releases after finding inmates were needlessly dying and suffering because of inadequate medical and mental health care caused by overcrowding.
Court-appointed experts found that the prison system had a suicide rate that worsened last year to 24 per 100,000 inmates, far exceeding the national average of 16 suicides per 100,000 inmates in state prisons.
Brown had appealed the latest decision of the panel and, separately, asked the U.S. Supreme Court to cancel the early release order while considering his arguments that the state is making significant progress in improving conditions. The high court refused Friday to stop the release but did not rule on the appeal itself. Corrections Secretary Beard said the state would press on with that, so the "merits of the case can be considered without delay."
However, inmate lawyer Don Specter, head of the Berkeley-based Prison Law Office, said the ruling Friday did not bode well for the overall appeal. He said the decision underscores what inmates have been arguing for years.
"The conditions are still overcrowded," he said. "The medical and health care remain abysmal."
Lawyers representing Brown had argued to the high court that releasing 10,000 more inmates would mean letting violent criminals out on the streets and overwhelm the abilities of law enforcement and social services to monitor them.
"No data suggests that a sudden release of inmates with these characteristics can be done safely," the state said in its filing. "No state has ever done it."
The panel of federal judges has consistently rejected that argument. The judges, prisoners' lawyers and others say other states have marginally reduced inmate sentences without sparking an increase in crime.
The governor said the state has already transferred thousands of low-level and nonviolent offenders to county jails, but that local officials in turn have been forced into releasing some inmates early to ease their own overcrowding issues.
The Supreme Court's ruling rejected Brown's plea over the objections of Justices Samuel Alito, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, who all said they would have granted the state's request.
Scalia, in a dissent joined by Thomas, wrote that the previous order by the three-judge panel was a "terrible injunction" that threatens public safety. Scalia said the state's evidence shows it has made meaningful progress and that such reductions in the inmate population are no longer necessary.
The legal battle goes back years. In 2011, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that California had to cut its inmate population to deal with unconstitutional prison conditions caused by overcrowding. It said that further delay in reducing prison overcrowding would further the substandard delivery of medical and mental health care and, by extension, lead to more inmate deaths and injuries.
In recent years, the special panel of federal judges accused Brown of attempting to delay and circumvent their orders. They previously threatened to cite the governor for contempt if he did not comply.
The judges waived all state laws in June as they ordered Brown to expand good-time credits leading to early release. They also directed the governor to take other steps, including sending more inmates to firefighting camps, paroling elderly felons, leasing cells at county jails and slowing the return of thousands of inmates now housed in private prisons in other states.
If those steps fail, the judges ordered the state to release by year's end enough inmates from a list of lower-risk offenders until it reaches the maximum allowed population.
In its latest filing with the Supreme Court, the state argued that no governor has the unilateral authority to take the steps ordered by the three-judge panel. That would require approval by the Legislature or judicial pre-emption of California's core police powers, the administration argued.
Brown has said the state is spending $2 billion on new or expanded facilities for inmate medical and mental health treatment. That includes seven new centers for mental health treatment and the opening last June of an $839 million prison hospital in Stockton that will treat 1,722 inmates requiring long-term care. The state also has boosted hiring and salaries for all types of medical and mental health professionals.
The state has already reduced the population by 46,000 inmates since 2006.
More than half of the decrease that has occurred so far is due to a two-year-old state law ? known as realignment ? that is sentencing offenders convicted of crimes considered nonviolent, non-serious and non-sexual to county jails instead of state prisons.
