Gabby Petito went missing in the summer of 2021 and was later found to have been murdered by her fiancé. Her disappearance generated enormous publicity, which at the time was described by activists as "Missing White Woman Syndrome," where white crime victims get more attention than non-white ones. Now, Gabby's family and the foundation they created in her honor are campaigning for every missing person to get the same level of publicity as she did. Here's an interview from People magazine with her father Joe.

"We are living through a massive and concerted attempt to delegitimize and discredit our democratic institutions, especially our elections and judiciary. Judges, prosecutors, and the courts are major targets, as they are wherever authoritarianism is trying to take hold."

A Fateful Time in Our Nation's History

"Trump stared blankly ahead as the verdict was read. 'Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty.'”

"There will be no such thing as an uninformed voter from this day forward. Everyone, with the possible exception of a cave explorer spelunking a thousand feet down at the bottom of Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, will hear the news that a jury of 12 citizens of New York City found Trump guilty of falsifying business records in order to conceal a sexual liaison with Stormy Daniels."

Trump guilty verdict changes everything
This is the first day of the rest of the campaign for president. Donald Trump’s conviction on all 34 counts at his trial in Manhattan changes everything.Lucian K. Truscott IV (Lucian Truscott Newsletter)
"ACCOUNTABILITY FOR TRUMP’S MISDEEDS is all the more important given that the U.S. Supreme Court, with its right-wing majority, is AWOL from its most basic tasks: seeking equal justice under law and winning public trust in a prudent and steady system of rules not subject to radical revision based on the whims of recent appointees."

After slightly less than ten hours of deliberation, a jury today found former president Donald J. Trump guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in order to unlawfully influence the 2016 election.Heather Cox Richardson (Letters from an American)
#Blanche: “This is the #campaign, this is an #election, this is not a #crime.”
Blanche argued this in his opening statement, when he said “spoiler alert” — campaigns try to #influence elections.
#criminal #law #TrumpTrial #CatchAndKill #conspiracy #ElectionInterference
Blanche says he is going to talk a lot about #MichaelCohen today. “You cannot convict *President* #Trump on any #crime beyond a reasonable doubt on the words of Michael Cohen,” Blanche says, adding that Cohen took the stand during the trial & told “lies” while there.
#ClosingArguments have many visual components. #Blanche is currently breaking down #evidence that is being displayed on screens.
#criminal #law #Trump #TrumpTrial #CatchAndKill #conspiracy #ElectionInterference #HushMoney
FYI: declaring a payment to the #IRS doesn’t automatically make it #legal (it’s called #TaxFraud & it’s a #crime we know #Trump commits regularly).
Blanche is repeatedly calling #MichaelCohen both a liar & Trump’s personal attorney.
The jury is going to have to grapple reconcile something Blanche isn’t, namely that Trump hired Cohen & worked w/him for over a decade.
