The Department of Justice (DOJ) is actively opposing a recent court decision that allowed former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin to re-examine George Floyd's heart as part of his appeal process. This development comes after Chauvin was convicted of violating Floyd's civil rights.

The DOJ argues that Chauvin has "no legal basis" for his requests, which stem from an email sent by an unvetted doctor suggesting Floyd might have died from a heart condition rather than from Chauvin's actions.

This stance by the DOJ is another effort to keep Derek Chauvin behind bars for a crime he didn’t commit.

A message from Orange County CA Sheriff Don Barnes on Proposition 36.

"Last month Californians passed Proposition 36, the Homeless, Drug Addiction and Theft Reduction Act, with nearly 70% of the vote. The ballot measure received a strong majority of the vote in all 58 counties and takes effect today, December 18th.

Proposition 36 focuses on rampant theft, the fentanyl epidemic, and addiction-related homelessness. This provides law enforcement with an opportunity to further protect our community against the impact of poor public policy.

Many of the solutions included in Proposition 36 were attempted repeatedly over the last ten years through bipartisan legislation. However, the proposals were regularly blocked by the Assembly and Senate Public Safety Committees. This inaction on emerging problems like fentanyl has had tragic consequences. Now, where state leaders have failed, the people have acted. As Sheriff, I look forward to working with our criminal justice partners to honor the people’s choice for a balanced public safety system.
