Such an interesting conversation about plea bargaining!

Our first episode of the year was a real bonanza! Our guest, UNC law professor Carissa Byrne Hessick came on to chat about plea bargains, criminal justice reform and her book Punishment Without Trial (link in comment below!) Plus IS EVERYWHERE (including inside Lila) but the CDC gave up so we’re just soldiering on, and is back in the conversation, but will it stick?! Check it out!

Really interesting book: truecrime/lost history/social justice!

THE THREE DEATH SENTENCES OF CLARENCE HENDERSON is the story of Clarence Henderson, a wrongfully accused Black sharecropper who was sentenced to die three different times for a murder he didn’t commit, and the prosecution desperate to pin the crime on him despite scant evidence.

But it is much more than that. It is a portrait of a community, and a country, at a crossroads, trying to choose between the path it knows is right and the path of least resistance. The case pitted powerful forces—often those steering legal and journalistic institutions—attempting to use racism and Red-Scare tactics against a populace that by and large believed the case against Henderson was suspect at best. But ultimately, it’s a hopeful story about how even when things look dark, some small measure of justice can be achieved against all the odds, and actual progress is possible. It’s the rare book that is a timely read, yet still manages to shed an informative light on America’s past and future, as well as its present.

Amazing work

For more than 25 years, surgeon David Nott has volunteered in some of the world’s most dangerous conflict zones. From Sarajevo under siege in 1993 to clandestine hospitals in rebel-held eastern Aleppo, he has carried out lifesaving operations in the most challenging conditions, and with none of the resources of a major metropolitan hospital. He is now widely acknowledged as the most experienced trauma surgeon in the world.
​
WAR DOCTOR is his extraordinary story, encompassing his surgeries in nearly every major conflict zone since the end of the Cold War, as well as his struggles to return to a “normal” life and routine after each trip. It is a heart-stopping and moving blend of medical memoir, personal journey, and nonfiction thriller that provides unforgettable, at times raw, insight into the human toll of war. ⚕️ Available at a bookstore near you on Tuesday! https://bit.ly/2Tr1gxQ
