Fitch Ratings has warned that proposed judiciary reforms by President-elect Claudia Sheinbaum could negatively impact Mexico's sovereign rating, predicting the country's debt will rise above 51% of GDP due to high borrowing costs and moderate growth. The agency emphasized that the severity of the impact from the reforms will become clearer once they are implemented. Concurrently, The Washington Post expressed concern over the Mexican government's judicial reforms, which could expand mandatory pretrial imprisonment, labeling the current judiciary as dysfunctional and corrupt. In a separate legal matter, the Wisconsin Court of Appeals upheld Terron Anthony Clayborn's conviction for hit and run despite claims of ineffective counsel, stating that his guilty plea was ultimately voluntary despite inappropriate attorney promises. Additionally, the Maine Law Court addressed legislative standing in a recent case, emphasizing the need for legislators to demonstrate actual injury in their claims. These developments reflect ongoing tensions in governance and legal processes across different jurisdictions.
