Marquell Smith's story reminds us:

But the system hasn't changed enough for him.
SB 672 + the RJA could change that.

Community orgs like @PillarsOfSD are leading the way—using public records, data scraping, and people's tribunals to make injustice visible.
But we also need courts to act.
The RJA mandates judicial accountability where racism infects outcomes.

This isn't about anecdotes—it's about patterns.
⚖️ 13/15 white defendants: parole
⚖️ 11/12 Black defendants: life without parole
