You’d think a group that advocates for criminal justice reform could find worthier people to honor than Janet Reno, the woman who sent an innocent man to prison for 11 years, gave us 76 charred bodies at Waco, wrongly tried to imprison a 14-year-old kid in a fit of anti-occult hysteria, presided over the Justice Department investigation and media leak that ruined Richard Jewell’s life, and built her career on a series of highly questionable child abuse convictions won on manufactured evidence.
You’d think. But Reno keeps raking in the honors, and from organizations for whom I otherwise have a lot of respect.
Disappointing.
