question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Lawlor is Neutral . Mike Lawlor  undersecretary for Criminal Justice Policy and Planning in Connecticut   says the delay is unusual and unexplained. Last year Connecticut received about $2.6 million in JAG grants.
"Every single state gets one of these grants and this year not a single state has gotten it and we have repeatedly asked the Department of Justice what's going on "  Lawlor  said. "They consistently can't or won't answer the question so we don't know. We assume it's because they have concerns about sanctuary cities around the country."
At this point though  the DOJ hasn't just missed the disbursement date. States have not even been notified of the grant award  which usually happens around April or May  according to  Lawlor .
"There's going to be more steps that have to take place before the money's actually received  and typically it's about six months from the date of the award until the date you get the check  " Lawlor  said. "And it's important to keep in mind  this is going on in every state in the country. The reddest of red states  you know  Mississippi  Alabama  they're having the same problem."
answer:
no


question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rick Pitino is Neutral . Rick Pitino  admitted to having sexual relations with the wife of  his  teamâs equipment manager. Louisville brought  him  back. A former Cardinals staffer arranged for strippers and prostitutes to have sex with players and recruits in the teamâs dormitory.  Pitino  denied any knowledge of  it  and kept  his  job. Only when the feds got involved did the ax finally fall: Louisville fired the Hall of Fame coach last month after an FBI investigation found an executive from Adidas and others conspired to steer top recruits to Louisville via six-figure payments to their families  with  Pitino  allegedly being aware of the scheme.
ESPN commentator Dick Vitale  for one  thinks  Pitino  deserves yet another chance.
Auriemma  the Hall of Fame coach of the Connecticut womenâs team  told the âPardon My Takeâ podcast earlier this month that he would hire  Pitino  for his coaching staff if he had an opening.
 Pitino  was officially fired Oct. 16  so Auriemmaâs definition of time served is rather peculiar. In any case  more has come out about  Pitinoâs  alleged role in the scheme since the U.S. Justice Departmentâs initial announcement  which maintained that an AAU coach named Christian Dawkins called Pitino to ask him for help in securing a six-figure payment to the family of highly regarded recruit Brian Bowen. A new federal indictment against former Adidas executive Jim Gatto  released this week  alleges  Pitino  not only was aware of the scheme â as was previously thought â but agreed to participate in it.
âDawkins explained that while [ Pitino ] and the University of Louisville were recruiting [Bowen]  Dawkins asked [ Pitino ] to call James Gatto to request that [Adidas] provide the money requested by the family of [Bowen]  which [ Pitino ] agreed to do â the indictment reads.
answer:
yes


question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Reynaldo Guevara is Negative . A Cook County Stateâs Attorney asked the detective   Reynaldo Guevara   74  to review police reports and testimony  he âd previously given in the case.  Guevara  refused  quickly flipping the pages and then handing them back.
Seated in the courtroom gallery were family members of 11 people who say  Guevara  framed them  and four more people whom  Guevara  helped put in prison but whose convictions have since been overturned.
âThis morning I prayed that maybe God would touch his heart and he would tell the truth â said Esther Hernandez  the mother of two sons who claim  Guevara  framed them in a 1997 murder.
âThatâs an acute case of amnesia â said Jose Montanez  who was exonerated last year of a 1993 murder after spending 23 years in prison.  Guevara  was one of the lead detectives on  his  case.
Since 2009  when a federal jury issued a record $21 million to a man whom  Guevara  was found to have framed  the retired detective has repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment and refused to testify.
But earlier this year Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx offered  Guevara  immunity in exchange for his testimony. His lawyers argued he would still be vulnerable to perjury charges.
Todayâs hearing was part of an appeal by two defendants  Gabriel Solache and Arturo Reyes  who say that  Guevara  beat confessions out of them. Prosecutors called  Guevara  to the stand to rebut that claim. Since he testified he didnât remember the case  prosecutors asked the court to allow  Guevaraâs  previous testimony from two court appearance in 2000.
âI hope people know how fucked up that is â said Jennifer Bonjean  an attorney representing other  Guevara  clients. âItâs pretty mindblowing that the state is literally vouching for the prior testimony when  Guevara  wonât  himself .â
An attorney for Solache  Karen Daniel  told the court that  Guevara  was âdisavowing  his  prior testimonyâ in the 2000 case and that  he âs essentially pleading the Fifth âunder a different guise.â
The state has called several other officers  prosecutors and medical personnel who were at the police station the night of the alleged beating. They testified that neither defendant complained of abuse. A paramedic called to the stand today testified he conducted medical evaluations of both defendants two days after  Guevara  allegedly beat them and didnât note signs of abuse.
In 2013  Chicago hired a law firm to conduct an independent investigation of allegations of misconduct by  Guevara . Those investigators rejected Solache and Reyesâs innocence claims but called the case against them âvery thin.â

yes
