Assassination Charges To Be Dropped against innocent Malcolm X framed assassins
https://justpatriots.com/assassination- ... e-dropped/
(JustPatriots.com)- Two men who were found guilty in the trials following the assassination of Malcolm X in 1965 have just been cleared after a long new investigation – and prosecutors are reportedly preparing to toss out their wrongful convictions this week.
The Daily News revealed how a 22-month investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance Jr., along with attorneys representing the men who were found guilty, found the men to be innocent some six decades later.
New York Daily News says that the revelation of their innocent “raised more questions than it answered,” specifically with regards to the roles that the FBI, New York Police Department, and prosecutors in Manhattan had in this miscarriage of justice.
It just goes to show how easy it is for people to be wrongly convicted in heavily politicized criminal cases.
The New York Times also reported that all three agencies involved were found to have withheld key evidence that proved the innocence of Khalil Islam and Muhammad Aziz.
Attorney Barry Scheck who worked on the investigation on behalf of the Innocence Project said that the assassination of Malcolm X was an “historic event that demanded a scrupulous investigation and prosecution” and instead of that actually produced “one of the most blatant miscarriages of justice” that he has ever seen.

Police stole FAR more than Burglars last year
Here's an interesting factoid about contemporary policing: In 2014, for the first time ever, law enforcement officers took more property from American citizens than burglars did. Martin Armstrong pointed this out at his blog, Armstrong Economics, last week.
Officers can take cash and property from people without convicting or even charging them with a crime — yes, really! — through the highly controversial practice known as civil asset forfeiture. Last year, according to the Institute for Justice, the Treasury and Justice departments deposited more than $5 billion into their respective asset forfeiture funds. That same year, the FBI reports that burglary losses topped out at $3.5 billion.
Armstrong claims that "the police are now taking more assets than the criminals," but this isn't exactly right: The FBI also tracks property losses from larceny and theft, in addition to plain ol' burglary. If you add up all the property stolen in 2014, from burglary, theft, motor vehicle theft and other means, you arrive at roughly $12.3 billion, according to the FBI. That's more than double the federal asset forfeiture haul.
