New podcast for all sentencing fans (and especially defense attorneys)
I am pleased to be able to post about a great new podcast created by Doug Passon, a defense attorney and documentary filmmaker, who I have had the pleasure to work with on a few matters. Doug Passon created "Set for Sentencing" earlier this year and already has a lot of terrific content posted at this archive. Here are titles/links of episodes to date:
Senators Sell Sentencing Snake Oil at KBJ Confirmation Hearing
Keep Fighting the Good Fight on Compassionate Release!
Disrupting the Dehumanizing Sentencing Process
David Rudolf: American Injustice, The Staircase & Defending Empathy
Telling the Story of Prison at Sentencing
Narrative is Everything at Sentencing!
YouTube Bonus Episode: Sedition Edition!
Understanding Autism at Sentencing
As these podcast titles suggest, the discussions of sentencing in these episodes tend to come from a defense/defense attorney perspective. But Doug Passon, whose interests and expertise extend far beyond legal doctrine, brings on an array of guests who are not all lawyers but all have lots of interesting insights for those who are. I had the honor and the pleasure of taping one of these "Set for Sentencing" episodes a number of weeks ago, and that episode was just posted here (the "Devil You Know" segment).
