Phenomenally Stupid

14 Nov 2023  |  www.larepublica.co  |  Spanish  |  Psychology

Jordan Cardella, a 20-year-old from Milwaukee, United States, orchestrated a plan to have himself shot to win back his ex-girlfriend's sympathy. He provided a friend with money and drugs to shoot him in a secluded park. The plan failed when the friend only managed to shoot him in the arm, and all three were taken to the hospital and later arrested for negligent use of firearms. The prosecutor, Christopher Rawsthorne, commented on the case's stupidity. The article discusses the influence of emotions on decision-making, referencing neuroscientist Ralph Adolphs and author Leonard Mlodinow.

06 Nov 2023  |  www.tmj4.com  |  English  |  Trial

The homicide trial of former Milwaukee Police officer Michael Mattioli began with opening statements. Mattioli is charged with first-degree reckless homicide in the death of Joel Acevedo following a fight at Mattioli's home on April 19, 2020. The prosecution argues Acevedo died from traumatic chest compression caused by Mattioli, while the defense claims Acevedo's death was due to a combination of drug use and pre-existing medical conditions. The jury selection process led to a panel of 14 jurors. Mattioli, who has been out on bail, faces up to 40 years in prison and 20 years of supervised release if convicted.

The DNC Was Virtual, but the Protests Were Real as Hell

21 Aug 2020  |  The Nation  |  English  |  Police Accountability

The article discusses the protests that took place during the 2020 Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Milwaukee, which were initially planned to be large but were scaled down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The focus of the protests shifted from the Democratic Party to issues of police violence and racial injustice, particularly in the wake of nationwide protests. The article highlights the actions of various groups and individuals, including the Coalition to March on the DNC, the Freedom Road Socialist Organization, and Students for a Democratic Society. It also mentions local issues with the Milwaukee Police Department, the Wauwatosa Police Department, and the case of Officer Joseph Mensah. The protests aimed to draw attention to local and national issues of police accountability and racial inequality, rather than directly engaging with the DNC.
