This Louisiana prosecutor...
• Was forced to resign from the DA’s office for submitting false paperwork
• Withheld evidence in at least 3 death row cases
• Compared a Black teen to a dog and told the jury to “get rid of it”

Now he’s running for judge.

This Sheriff Says His Department Eliminated Racial Bias. Data Shows Otherwise.

When Jerry Sheridan was second-in-command at the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office, a federal judge found he had undermined reforms meant to root out racial profiling. Now, as head of the department, Sheridan is pushing to end the court’s oversight.
