Dallas letter carriers robbed amid safety concerns and calls for better protection
Within the last 15 days, three United States Postal Service letter carriers have been robbed while on the job in the Dallas area. It has letter carriers and postal police officers accusing the government of not doing enough to improve safety. We have reported extensively about violent attacks on letter carriers over the past few years. The U.S. Postal Service launched an initiative called Project Safe Delivery two years ago in an effort to protect mail and those who deliver it. But three robberies in just over two weeks have some of them saying it's not working. The latest robbery happened in Northeast Dallas last Saturday. That's when an arrow key was stolen, which can open any locked mailboxes in the zip code of 75243, where it was taken. The arrow key is a master key carried by postal workers that opens most public collection boxes and community mailboxes. Two more letter carriers were robbed on May 20 and 21. Robbers are after mail, which postal police officers say can be a treasure for thieves of checks, cash and personal information. Veteran letter carrier Keandre Glover works right next to the neighborhood where the latest robbery occurred. He said there's really no way he and his coworkers can protect themselves. "I got dog mace and a dog horn, that's about all I have," said Glover. "But there's nothing out here protecting us from those people wanting our keys." "This is just getting worse and worse and worse," said Frank Albrego, with the Postal Police Officers Association. "Check fraud is out of control. It's out of control and nobody is doing much about it." Abrego has been calling on USPS management to let them escort mail carriers in high-risk areas. "Postal police officers who are specifically trained to stop mail theft are sitting around in buildings instead of guarding the mail, or protecting letter carriers," Abergo said. "And what's happening right now in Dallas is that letter carriers are being robbed." So far, Glover has avoided becoming a victim but is asking postal service administrators to devote more resources to keeping letter carriers safe. "They get to go home to their families," said Glover. "So why can't we?" Check out more on the CBS News Texas YouTube page:

Long-running Young Thug gang trial to end without any murder convictions
ATLANTA (AP) — Three years after Atlanta rapper Young Thug and 27 others were indicted on gang and racketeering charges, followed by a long, problem-plagued trial, nobody will be convicted of murder. When Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis announced the indictment in May 2022, she said her office was cracking down on a violent street gang responsible for multiple killings run by Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffery Williams. But Willis dropped the only remaining murder charge Monday after defendant Demise McMullen pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of aggravated assault. Young Thug went home Oct. 31 after pleading guilty to gang, drug and gun charges and remains on probation. Prosecutors alleged that Young Thug and two others founded the street gang Young Slime Life, which was associated with the Bloods street gang, in 2012. The 33-year-old artist has a record label called Young Stoner Life, which prosecutors alleged was tied to Young Slime Life. A long and controversial trial Prosecutors drew ire for using song lyrics and social media posts in their case. Attorney Doug Weinstein, who represented defendant Deamonte Kendrick, who raps under the name Yak Gotti, said prosecutors targeted men who pursued music as a way out of hardship in economically 'deprived' Atlanta areas and tried to 'claw them back in, hold them back down.' 'Whatever they may have done in their youth, and I would argue most of them didn't do anything, to be targeted in this way by the prosecutors is just wrong,' said Weinstein. 'Whatever you think of their music — the violence, the misogynistic lyrics — that is not a reason to go after these guys.' Weinstein continued, adding, 'People like my client, Mr. Kendrick, had to be incarcerated for 2 1/2 years or more, in the case of some of these defendants, for a crime that they didn't do.' Kendrick was stabbed in jail. He was one of two defendants who didn't take plea deals, and the only one cleared of all charges, including a murder charge in the 2015 drive-by shooting death of rival gang member Donovan Thomas Jr., known as 'Big Nut.' In a statement to The Associated Press, Willis spokesperson Jeff DiSantis said 'anti-gang efforts' have yielded 'over 400 convictions of gang members' since Willis became district attorney, including 19 people in this case. Those efforts were 'key' in making Fulton County 'safer, taking dangerous offenders off the streets and sending a message that gang activity will not be tolerated in our community,' he said. Willis prosecuted the case using Georgia's broad anti-racketeering law. Critics say using that law caused a messy trial by roping in dozens of people with varying levels of alleged culpability. The anti-racketeering law allows prosecutors to present evidence that might otherwise not be allowed, which some defense attorneys say lets prosecutors present irrelevant material to the jury. It also often leads to people being held in jail longer for multiple reasons. 'It made everything so much more complicated and cumbersome,' said Max Schardt, defense attorney for defendant Shannon Stillwell. No 'home run' Stillwell was among five codefendants who stood trial alongside Young Thug beginning in November 2023. After Young Thug and the others entered guilty pleas, Stillwell and Kendrick were the only ones who took their chances with a jury. They were found not guilty of racketeering, murder and gang-related charges in December. Stillwell was found guilty only of gun possession. The verdict came nearly two years after jury selection began. Nine other defendants, including the rapper Gunna, accepted plea deals before the trial began. Prosecutors dropped charges against one defendant after he was convicted of murder in an unrelated case. Twelve defendants were split from the original trial, and charges against six of them were dismissed in early December. Another recently got a murder charge dismissed after entering an Alford plea, which allows him to maintain his innocence while acknowledging that it is in his best interest to plead guilty. McMullen, who was also charged with murder in Thomas' killing, entered an Alford plea to a lesser aggravated assault charge and another count of violating the anti-racketeering law. A judge in this case sentenced him to 40 years, with 20 to be served in confinement at the same time as the sentence he's already serving, and 20 suspended for time served. That leaves one remaining defendant who is accused of shooting and wounding an Atlanta police officer in February 2022 while on probation. His fate is expected to be determined soon. Atlanta defense attorney Andrew Fleischman, who was not involved in the case, said Willis could have secured guilty pleas years ago without a long, expensive trial if she hadn't used the anti-racketeering law. 'She went for a home run, and she didn't get it,' said Fleischman. ___ Kramon is a corps member for The Associated Press/Report for America Statehouse News Initiative.
