A | GREENWOOD, Ark. -- Ricky Dority spends most of his days playing with his grandchildren, feeding chickens and working in the yard where he lives with his son's family.It's a jarring change from where he was just several months ago, locked in a cell serving a life prison sentence at Oklahoma's Joseph Harp Correctional Center in a killing he said he didn't commit. After more than two decades behind bars, Dority had no chance at being released — until he used his pandemic relief funds to hire a dogged private investigator. The investigator and students at the Oklahoma Innocence Project at Oklahoma City University, which is dedicated to exonerating wrongful convictions in the state, found inconsistencies in the state's account of a 1997 cold-case killing, and Dority's conviction was vacated in June by a Sequoyah County judge.Now, the 65-year-old says he’s enjoying the 5-acre property in a quiet neighborhood of well-to-do homes in the rolling, forested hills of the Arkansas River Valley outside of Fort Smith. “If you’re gone for a lot of years, you don’t take it for granted anymore.”Dority is one of nearly 3,400 people who have been exonerated across the country since 1989, mostly over murder convictions, according to the National Registry of Exonerations. In Oklahoma, there have been more than 43 exonerations in that time, not including three new exonerations this year. The cases underscore a serious problem facing a judicial system in which many old convictions resulted from overworked defense attorneys, shoddy forensic work, overzealous prosecutors and outdated investigative techniques.The problem is particularly acute given Oklahoma's history of sending people to death row, where 11 inmates have been exonerated since 1981. The issue has pushed a Republican-led legislative panel to consider whether a death penalty moratorium should be imposed.In Oklahoma County, Glynn Ray Simmons was freed after spending nearly 50 years in prison, including time on death row, in a 1974 killing after a judge determined prosecutors failed to turn over evidence in the case, including a police report that showed an eyewitness might have identified other suspects.And just this week, Perry Lott, who served more than 30 years in prison, had his rape and burglary conviction vacated in Pontotoc County after new DNA testing excluded him as the perpetrator. Pontotoc County, in particular, has come under intense scrutiny for a series of wrongful convictions in the 1980s that have been the subject of numerous books, including John Grisham’s “The Innocent Man,” which he produced into a six-part documentary on Netflix. The most common causes of wrongful convictions are eyewitness misidentification, misapplication of forensic science, false confessions, coerced pleas and official misconduct, generally by police or prosecutors, according to the Innocence Project, a national organization based in New York.In Dority's case, he said he was railroaded by an overzealous sheriff and a state prosecutor eager to solve the killing of 28-year-old Mitchell Nixon, who was found beaten to death in 1997.Investigators who reopened the case in 2014 coerced a confession from another man, Rex Robbins, according to Andrea Miller, the legal director of the Oklahoma Innocence Project. Robbins, who would plead guilty to manslaughter in Nixon's killing, implicated Dority, who at the time was in a federal prison on a firearms conviction. Dority said he knew he didn't have anything to do with the crime and found paperwork that proved he had been arrested on the day of the killing.“I thought I was clear because I knew I didn’t have anything do with that murder,” Dority said. “But they tried me for it and found me guilty of it.”Jurors heard about Robbins' confession and testimony from a police informant who said Dority had changed bloody clothes at his house the night of the killing. They convicted him of first-degree murder and recommended a sentence of life without parole.After years in prison, while most inmates spent their federal COVID-19 relief check in the commissary, Dority used his to hire a private investigator, he said. Bobby Staton had mostly investigated insurance fraud, but he took on the case and realized quickly that it was riddled with holes, Staton said. He eventually turned to the university's Oklahoma Innocence Project, which assigned a law student, Abby Brawner, to help investigate.Their investigation turned when Staton and Brawner visited Robbins in the maximum-security Oklahoma State Reformatory in Granite, and he recanted his statement implicating Dority. “It was pretty intimidating,” Brawner said. “Especially when you're going in to meet someone who doesn't know you're coming and doesn't want to talk to you.”Brawner and Staton also learned the informant didn't live at the home where he told investigators Staton showed up in bloody clothes. When the actual homeowner testified at a hearing this summer, the judge dismissed the case.Dority's original attorneys were ineffective for not discovering the informant didn't live at the home, the judge said, giving prosecutors 90 days to decide whether they will retry him. That three months has been extended, and prosecutors have said they intend to ask the judge for more time for DNA testing. Dority, confident in his innocence, said he's not concerned about additional forensic testing.Sequoyah County District Attorney Jack Thorp and former Sheriff Ron Lockhart did not respond to requests for comment from The Associated Press. But Assistant District Attorney James Dunn, who is overseeing the case and was not in the office when it was originally prosecuted, said he agreed with the judge's dismissal after hearing the homeowner's testimony and learning a witness “was not credible.” “The last thing I want to see is an innocent person in prison for a crime they didn't commit," Dunn said. "Because that means the person who actually did commit the crime, or those persons, are still out there.” Meanwhile, Dority is learning to use a smartphone and the television remote control, he said. He's thankful to Staton and the Innocence Project and says his case proves others are wrongfully imprisoned in Oklahoma.“After they’ve done what they’ve done to me, I know there are people in that prison who are innocent that need to be out and need help getting out,” he said. “If they hadn’t gotten me out, I’d have been in there for the rest of my life.”。

B | 近日,“开封王婆”赵梅在江西多个景区举行“说媒”活动引发关注。活动中,当地媒婆称彩礼“38 万 8”,部分女嘉宾提出高要求,让“王婆”露出“痛苦面具”,并引发网友热议。 “开封王婆”赵梅回应称,用人格发誓,自己从来没有剧本,嘉宾都是随机点的,但不能保证被别人编剧本。她还表示,江西有江西的风俗,河南有河南的风俗,自己不可能把江西的彩礼打下来,也不便多言。一些网友质疑有剧本,景区和“王婆”均回应称现场嘉宾随机选择。女嘉宾对彩礼看法不一,江西一直在整治高价彩礼,推出多项举措倡导文明嫁娶新风尚。专家认为,破解高价彩礼难题需推动乡村振兴,缩小城乡差距。 治理高额彩礼需要严紧细实 为贯彻落实推进移风易俗和高额彩礼专项治理要求,2023年12月11日,最高法、民政部、全国妇联联合举行“推进移风易俗 治理高额彩礼”新闻发布会,发布涉彩礼纠纷典型案例,明确审理原则。当日,最高法还发布了《关于审理涉彩礼纠纷案件适用法律问题的规定(征求意见稿)》,进一步统一裁判标准。 “禁止以彩礼为名借婚姻索取财物。”此次3部门的回应及征求意见稿的发布,规范了彩礼相关内容并设定了统一裁判标准,回应了人民群众的新要求、新期待,对于树立优良家风,弘扬家庭美德,引导社会形成文明风尚具有重要意义。

C | 彩礼作为我国古代婚姻习俗中的“六礼”之一,本是男女双方缔结婚姻的重要象征,蕴含着对未来婚姻生活的美好祝愿。但近些年来,随着高额彩礼的“肆意横行”,彩礼的本意被曲解,因彩礼产生的纠纷案件不断增多,不仅触及社会公序良俗底线,更有甚者违反法律法规,引发恶性刑事案件。

D | 为遏制高额彩礼不良风气,2019年发布的《关于进一步推进移风易俗建设文明乡风的指导意见》明确要求,对乡村社会利用婚丧嫁娶敛财等违法犯罪行为进行重点整治;2021年以来,中央一号文件又连续3年对治理高额彩礼、移风易俗提出工作要求……从这些举措能够看到,治理高额彩礼已经从“大声疾呼”走向积极行动。从中央到地方,各类文件、意见、工作方案相继出炉,诸多安排部署都明确要求治理高额彩礼。从社会效果看,抵制高额彩礼正深入人心,并且成为许多青年男女的自发选择。 如今,3部门主动回应社会关切,通过以案释法破解高额彩礼治理这一痼疾,统一类似纠纷案件法律适用,明确处理涉彩礼纠纷原则,释放出以公平原则平衡各方利益的信号。 面对一个久已存在且成因复杂的社会治理难题,只有严紧细实、综合施策,才能积小功成大胜。

E | 一方面,各部门要进一步形成合力,强化彩礼前端治理,全面推行婚俗改革,加强高额彩礼治理力度,大力宣传文明新风,让人人都参与进来;另一方面,瞄准深层次原因,从就业、民生、乡风塑造、示范引领等方面多措并举、综合发力,把高额彩礼的生存土壤清除干净。 (图源网络 中国小康网综合@燃新闻、人民日报)。
