Prosecutors Smearing Dead ‘Cop City’ Activist by Publicizing Their Diary, Organizers Say

But, now that prosecutors have mass-charged activists in an unprecedented use of racketeering statutes, those close to the case say the state has sunk to new lows by entering Terán’s personal diary into public evidence against defendants.
