Pima County considering new program that could reshape crime, punishment By Shaley Sanders | February 7, 2021 at 10:31 PM MST - Updated February 8 at 3:10 PM
TUCSON, Ariz. (KOLD News 13) - Pima County could soon adopt a new form of justice based on healing instead of punishing.
“It would be a historic first,” said Pima County Attorney Laura Conover.
Conover wants to create a Restorative Justice Program.
“It is a guided program the defendant has to go through a lot of work to show that he or she qualifies and is ready to engage in this process,” Conover said.
Pima County Attorney Laura Conover announced Sunday night that she was temporarily closing her Downtown offices after a COVID outbreak among her staff.
You might have heard of people claiming there were irregularities in the recent election.
Well, Arizona Senate President Karen Fann set up an email address for people to report irregularities, and boy did they.
Hundreds and hundreds of emails went to the address 2020election@azleg.gov, but most of them did not support Trump loyalists’ claims of fraud. They were angry at Fann and the GOP for perpetuating fraud claims. Many were along the lines of this email:
âDonald Trump lost the election. Sad. The only malfeasance is that he is attempting a coup and the entire GOP is letting him do it.â
