It’s time for DA’s / County Attorneys to be appointed instead of elected. In Arizona, these elected prosecutors have politicized “justice” and compromised its integrity. Fair justice coming from the MCAO with a long history of abuse of power?

Why hasn’t MCAO Montgomery investigated the over 200,000 ‘felony” cases under one term in office of the disgraced, disbarred former MCAO Andrew Thomas and his disbarred chief “charging” prosecutor, ex-DCA Lisa Aubuchon? Cases done under a pattern of abuse of power, false allegations, witch-hunts and more — for the wrongfully convicted, those who have claims of innocence that have been ignored by the MCAO for years under Thomas / Aubuchon and now Montgomery? Do what other DA’s / County attorneys have done around the country, investigating, releasing and exonerating the innocent.

Recently, Arizona’s exoneree, Ray Krone celebrated 10 years since his exoneration. A shameful chapter in the history of the Maricopa County Attorney’s office and all those who worked to keep him silenced in Arizona’s hell-hole prisons. The then-MCAO Romley said at the state Legislature, “we have to do better next time”. Did Romley mean better to keep an innocent man silenced in prison or better at getting the innocent OUT of prison? MCAO Bill Montgomery needs to lift the lid of “Arizona’s Pandora’s Box” that has destroyed thousands of innocent lives, their families, their children’s lives and their future, leaving the taxpayers for the devastating consequences they will have to pay for.

ALL are at risk in Arizona to get thrown into their broken, outdated, draconian criminal justice system where the private prison corporation profiteers lead the way. This is the public’s issue.

The mass incarceration of Arizona’s men, women and children is far more critical than Roe v Wade, since most women have been on birth control pills for decades.

Reporters, lets write about this. That would be a greater public service.

Republicans says they do NOT want government “controlling” their lives. Well, we the people couldn’t agree more. The government doesn’t belong in our bedrooms or personal lives. The “old” men that dominate the GOP who know nothing about science or womens’ health issues and come from an era where women were kept in the “closet”, couldn’t speak or had to get permission from their husbands to have surgery, do NOT speak for most women. The young women are horrified to hear issues that were decided long before they were born.

MCAO Montgomery is not a credible voice on women’s issues unless he wants to continue down the path of silencing the women, taking their children away and throwing them in prison. The alarming path of how poorly women and children are treated is well-worn in Arizona, a shameful history.

A state that favors incarceration over education, a state with the highest percentage of incarcerating women in the West, a state that does not support early education and preventive health care for children, a state that does not help education young women to prevent unwanted pregnancies, a state that doesn’t want to take care of the babies once they are born is a state that spews pure hypocrisy.

Or is the state birthing babies, taking babies away, to be used for Federal $$$’s and future slaves for the school-to-prison pipeline that is growing at an alarming rate and the mass industrial prison industry?

Time to move forward into better policies for the future.
