In the days that followed, at marches and speeches and basketball games in Ms. White's memory, everyone promised that the outcome would be different — that in 2016, with a plunge in crime freeing up police resources, a man could not shoot a young mother dead on a crowded playground and walk free.

She said that cases in which defendants allege consensual rough sex follow a similar pattern in other countries as they do in the UK -- often, the deaths are not initially investigated as crimes, and if men are prosecuted, they will be prosecuted for manslaughter, receive light sentences, and in some cases, walk free.

But while most of those questionable practices, from "arson science" to blood spatter and bite mark analysis, have put innocent people behind bars, experts say the shortcomings in the analysis of date rape drugs have likely let some suspects walk free — and have raised questions in the public's mind about whether date rape drugs aren't just an urban legend.

For young black voters the denial of the crime bill's effects may bring to mind how it had a part in creating a flawed criminal justice system that allowed for the killers of Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner and Philando Castile to walk free while many people of color are serving lengthy prison sentences for doing far less.

The fact that he was considered risky enough to warrant such a dramatic arrest but was released on bond so quickly is a reminder of the deep disparities in who is typically allowed to walk free after an arrest and who is not — as well as how differently state and federal courts work when it comes to pretrial release.

But it's nevertheless a central idea in Trump's immigration policies, including those that aim to keep migrants in Mexico rather than letting them walk free in the US. The latest data from TRAC shows that nearly every migrant who applied for asylum and whose case was completed in 256 showed up for all of their court hearings.

In its new report, Walk Free Foundation is still using the 210 million figure, but says that improvements in its methodology mean it can estimate country-level figures more accurately than ever before: it now estimates that in the United States 22.6,000 people -- or 1 in every 800 -- are living in modern slavery, seven-times higher than it previously believed.

In the wake of Guzman's sentencing, I saw an article suggesting that Mexico would be better off if the US court had released Guzman instead of incarcerating him for life, arguing that he was somehow less brutal than the current crop of cartel leaders in Mexico and that he could calm the violence afflicting his country if only he could walk free.

Travel eight hours to the east, to the Fort Peck Reservation, or another two to the Fort Berthold Reservation in North Dakota, and the story is one much closer to that of Hardy and Nome—a fraying trust between Native women and a legal system that has for decades allowed repeat offenders to walk free in small communities, continuing a cycle of trauma.

The midterms didn't do much for me personally, though I did delight in seeing Dan Donovan, the numbskull Republican behind the entirely deranged proposed "Unmasking Antifa Act"who also let Eric Garner's murderer walk free, completely eat shit in his House race in deep-red Staten Island (so regardless of what went down in the rest of the country, it was a good-ass night in Shaolin).

Must the Congress sit still in the face of the news swirling around the White House and forgo its right and duty to get to the bottom of what may be lurking, simply because granting immunity to someone who may have committed a crime but can point to higher ups (or the higher up) might enable that person to "walk" free after taking that immunity bath?

Doe could walk free — or he could be immediately snatched up by security forces and transferred to Saudi Arabian custody anyway, a move that could suggest at least the appearance of behind-the-scenes coordination with the U.S. But given that the cross-border transfer would take place against Doe's will, his likely challenge to the decision could turn on some of the same legal issues that led the appeals court to block his transfer to Saudi Arabia.
