Prosecutor Who Let Tesla Vandal Off Easy Now Under DOJ Probe For Race-Based PolicyThe Department of Justice (DOJ) is looking into whether a Minnesota prosecutor’s office is violating the Constitution by pledging to factor defendants’ skin color into plea deals.Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon announced on Saturday that the DOJ will review the new policy at Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty’s office to see “whether the [office] is engaged in a pattern or practice of depriving persons of rights,” as described in a letter to Hennepin County. The probe adds to ongoing scrutiny of Moriarty’s policies since she came into the spotlight in April for refusing to prosecute a state official who vandalized Tesla vehicles.The letter came in response to an April memo from Moriarty’s office that says prosecutors negotiating plea deals “should consider the person charged as a whole person, including their racial identity and age” and address “racial disparities” in the justice system…The DOJ’s letter called the policy “discriminatory.” It also said Dhillon will lead “a comprehensive review of all … policies and practices” at the office “that may involve the illegal consideration of race in prosecutorial decision-making.”“The use of ‘racial identity’ in prosecutorial decisions, including whether to depart from Sentencing Guidelines, is another example of how deeply Critical Race Theory has penetrated society,” Cornell law professor William A. Jacobson told the Daily Caller News Foundation. Jacobson founded the Equal Protection Project, an initiative by the conservative Legal Insurrection Foundation.“What once was a fringe academic theory has expanded from higher education into society, including the legal system,” Jacobson said.
