Abstract:
The police approach to domestic violence has changed. Formerly police saw stopping fights, separating the couple, and calming the situation as their job. The Domestic Violence Task Force in Durham is more pro-active. Procedures include sixteen questions for the investigating officer to ask; issuing warrants for the perpetrators; and follow-up work by the officers, such as keeping a file on further domestic violence and working closely with the district attorney in prosecuting the offenders.

Abstract:
Durham resident Erick Daniels was wrongly convicted of robbery and spent seven years in prison before his recent exoneration. Daniels was wrongly convicted of robbing a police department employee when he was fifteen years old. The case has exposed poor investigative standards by the Durham police department and local prosecutors. The case has also tarnished Durham’s justice system.

Abstract:
Erick Daniels was sent to prison based on the shape of his eyebrows. Daniels is serving a ten year sentence for allegedly robbing Ruth Brown using a firearm. Daniels has maintained his innocence and there is much evidence to support his claims and more than enough evidence to constitute reasonable doubt. The questionable handling and investigation of Daniels case is detailed, along with interviews by Daniels, his mother, lawyers, and others familiar with the case.

Abstract:
Erick Daniels is serving a ten-year prison sentence for an alleged armed robbery, but there is doubt about his involvement. Several sources indicate that another man attempted to confess to the crime for which Daniels was convicted. The sources, including Daniel’s attorney, his mother, another suspect in the case, and the woman who was robbed all talk about Samuel Strong’s potential involvement. Strong fits the description of the person who committed the robbery and is currently serving time for bank robbing.

Abstract:
Autopsy results appear to contradict the Durham Police Department’s account of Frank Clark’s death. Police claim that Clark was shot from behind while fleeing the police, but local residents are skeptical. They believe that the officers mistreat impoverished African Americans, particularly those, like Clark, with criminal records.

Abstract:
The Durham County Sheriff’s Office recently installed video monitors in the jail’s lobby to offer a safer alternative to moving inmates around the jail for visits, and to give inmates more visitation opportunities. Critics, however, contend that video visitation is a thinly veiled move to eliminate in-person visits altogether and profit from incarceration by eventually charging visitors to use the service.
