A hate-filled Gulf War vet and his 17 year old protégé. They terrorized the Washington Beltway for three bloody weeks, killing 10 strangers, seemingly at random, irrespective of age or race or gender.

The younger of the DC snipers is now a 27 year old lifer - a prisoner, held in solitary, with no chance of parole - his mentor executed; their victims now 10 years dead.

But, a decade later, the questions remain of how and why.

On this week's edition of Due Process, some answers in Lee Boyd Malvo's own recorded words - and in a startling new book by a forensic social worker who was part of his defense, and a clinical psychologist, who has studied the case. Their claim: that an abandoned and abused Malvo - brainwashed by the manipulative John Muhammad - was himself a psychological, physical and sexual victim.

We revisit the chilling story of the DC snipers with Carmeta Albarus and Dr. Jonathan Mack.

We hope you'll join us.

This Week on Due Process: Let's Make a Deal: The Plea Bargain

A Plea Bargain Entered in Essex County Superior Court         This Week on Due Process "Let's Make a Deal: The Plea Bargain"   airs: Sunday December 9 at 9:30 am and 7 pm and Tuesday December 11 at 11:30 pm on       You're charged with a crime and have the right to face your accusers at trial, to be judged by a jury of your peers. Then why do fewer than 3% of defendants ever get that far?   On this edition of Due Process, we explore the phenomenon of the plea deal, beginning with a look inside Judge Martin Cronin's Essex County courtroom, where, two days a week, one guilty plea after another is entered in return for a reduced sentence. Is it fear? Is it coercion? Why do so few choose to take their chance at trial? And could some of them be innocent?   In the opening field piece, we listen in on a plea bargain conference between the Morris County Prosecutor, Bob Bianchi and his staff, while, in Essex, we watch the plea process unfold and talk to Assignment Judge Patricia Costello.   In the studio, we get starkly opposing views on plea deals from former First Assistant Attorney General for New Jersey John Vazquez and the ACLU's Alex Shalom.   Please join us!   Sandy and Raymond   Due Process - winner of 21 New York and Mid-Atlantic Emmys - airs on NJTV, successor to New Jersey Network, on the stations and cable positions once occupied by NJN.   Due Process is a production of Rutgers School of Law - Newark and the Edward J.

This Week on Due Process: The American Way of Voting: Could We Do it Better?

 

Election Night 2012         This Week on Due Process "The American Way of Voting: Could We Do it Better?"   airs: Sunday December 2 at 9:30 am and 7 pm   and Tuesday December 4 at 11:30 pm on     The election over. Campaign memories already faded. Inauguration Day less than 3 weeks away. But doubts rankle still about the way we vote. Could it be more efficient, more democratic? Could more of us participate? Could we ever get rid of the Electoral College ... and should we want to? Should we be considering weekend voting, universal early voting, e-voting, even compulsory voting? (which they have in more than 30 countries, including Belgium, Brazil and Australia!) Those questions and more on our Due Process post-election show, featuring Sandra King in conversation with Marc Holzer, Dean of The Rutgers School of Public Affairs and Administration, and Thomas Gentile, a onetime campaign adviser to Rudy Giuliani and a spokesman for the Federalist Society. And if that's not enough to make you to tune in to Due Process, watch us for some biting election satire from the documentary "Electoral Dysfunction" and political humorist Mo Rocca.

This Week on Due Process - Justice Breyer: On Democracy Part II

Justice Breyer with Sandy and Ray at Rutgers Law School         This Week on Due Process Winner of the 2012 Mid-Atlantic Emmy for Best Discussion Special! "Justice Breyer: On Democracy Part II" airs: Sunday November 18 at 9:30 am and 7 pm and Tuesday November 20 at 11:30 pm on

In Part II of this Emmy Award winning two-program Due Process special, Hosts Raymond Brown and Sandra King continue their candid conversation with United States Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer.   Taped on location at Rutgers Law School, before an audience of students, academics, jurists and lawyers, the two programs cover a wide range of court cases and conflicts - from Dred Scott and the Cherokee Nation decisions in the 19th Century, to Korematsu and Brown in the 20th, and Bush v. Gore and the Guantanamo cases in the 21st.   Justice Breyer's book, "Making Our Democracy Work," cites those cases and more in his argument that a strong democracy is dependent, not just on the division of powers, but on a Court that commands the respect of the American citizenry.   Although the interview is conducted by Sandy and Raymond, the programs also feature enthusiastic participation from the audience, with questions from such notables as former NJ Supreme Court Chief Justice Deborah Poritz, NJ Institute for Social Justice President Cornell Brooks and Rutgers Law Prof. Paul Tractenberg.   Due Process - winner of 21 New York and Mid-Atlantic Emmys - airs on NJTV, successor to New Jersey Network, on the stations and cable positions once occupied by NJN.

This Week on Due Process - The Eyewitness

- Troy Davis, executed last year in Georgia, largely on the testimony of eyewitnesses - most of whom later recanted                                                  This Week on Due Process   "The Eyewitness"   airs: Sunday October 28 at 9:30 am and 7 pm on

The eyewitness, a staple of criminal prosecution and the base upon which many a conviction rests. But scientific studies on observation and memory - especially in times of stress - have increasingly raised doubts about eyewitness reliability and fears of faulty verdicts.   On this edition of Due Process, the dilemma of the pivotal eyewitness, whose testimony may be sincere, but mistaken, or maliciously manufactured or coerced.   Sandra King's opening mini-doc recalls 17 years of Due Process coverage of exonerated inmates, most of whom were convicted and imprisoned on the word of eyewitnesses to the crime, years later - sometimes after decades of an innocent man's incarceration - proven wrong.   With the State Supreme Court now requiring tighter rules of interrogation and judicial warnings to jurors, New Jersey continues to lead the country in efforts begun over a decade ago by then-Attorney General John Farmer, who first reformed the rules for investigative techniques like perp photo displays and lineups.   In the studio, with Raymond Brown and Sandy: former prosecutor and Newark Judge Anthony Guerino, John Jay College of Criminal Justice Prof. Dr. Steven Penrod and national capital case expert Montclair Attorney Jean Barrett.   Due Process - winner of 21 New York and Mid-Atlantic Emmys - airs on NJTV, successor to New Jersey Network, on the stations and cable positions once occupied by NJN.   Due Process is a production of Rutgers School of Law - Newark and the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy with studio facilities provided by the Rutgers iTV Studio, Division of Continuing Studies.   Major funding for Due Process is provided by The Fund for New Jersey and Rutgers, The State University.

This Week on Due Process - "The Jersey Sting"

- then-Hoboken Mayor Cammarano with Atty. Joe Hayden July, 2009           This Week on Due Process "Jersey Sting " airs: Sunday October 21 at 9:30 am and 7 pm on It was the most spectacular political corruption bust in New Jersey history: the federal government's "Jersey Sting." Dozens of politicians, influence peddlers and money launderers arrested, dozens pleading guilty or convicted at trial. Among them: a rising political star like Hoboken's new mayor, Peter Cammarano, and longtime party stalwarts like Jersey City Deputy Mayor (and onetime burlesque queen) Leona Beldini. It made months of headlines, and may have helped sway a gubernatorial election.   But through it all, questions and controversy raised by the character and credibility of the sting man, Solomon Dwek, a ponzi-running grifter, convicted of bank fraud. Dwek was himself sentenced this week to 6 years in federal prison, prompting this encore presentation of "The Jersey Sting."   Tune in to "Due Process" this Sunday for a closer look at the Jersey Sting with defense attorneys, prosecutors and two reporters who, literally, wrote the book. In Sandra King's field piece: Defense Lawyer Alan Zegas, former prosecutor Jay Fahy, and Josh Margolin, co-author of the book, "The Jersey Sting." In the studio with Sandy and co-host Raymond Brown: Joseph Hayden, who represented Cammarano; Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli, and the "Jersey Sting's" other author, Ted Sherman.   Winner of 21 New York and Mid-Atlantic Emmys - Due Process airs on NJTV, successor to New Jersey Network, on the stations and cable positions once occupied by NJN.
