New on NJTV - "Death with Dignity"

  "Death with Dignity"

on

airs: Sunday November 17 at 9:30 am and 7 pm

and Tuesday November 19 at 11:30pm

A flier distributed by Final Exit Network

This Week on Due Process

End of life.  A time few of us like to think about.  But, for some - those suffering from irreversible illness and a certain, painful end - a peaceful death, by choice, might seem a reasonable choice.

On this edition of "Due Process, " what proponents call a "death with dignity."  A suicide with some gentle assistance.  Should there be an individual right to die - if pain, disease and a body that's stopped working have made life less than bearable?

The NJ Legislature hasn't yet weighed in on a bill modeled after the Oregon and Washington laws on "right to die," but polls show the public increasingly in favor.

We visit with a man suffering from a degenerative brain disease, who says all he wants is a peaceful finish,  before he loses both his body and his mind, as well as a leader of the national volunteer organization, Final Exit Network.  And we get a look inside a Swiss clinic where the hopelessly ill from all over the world are able to come for help in dying.

Our studio guests: Assemblyman John Burzichelli, the ACLU's Ed Barocas and Seton Hall Law Prof. Kathleen Boozang.

It's a difficult subject - but a "Due Process" you won't want to miss.

New on NJTV - "Mount Laurel"

  "Mount Laurel"

on

airs: Sunday November 10 at 9:30 am and 7 pm

and Tuesday November 12 at 11:30pm

The Ethel Lawrence Houses, which launched the landmark case

This Week on Due Process

The New York Times places them among the most  "important civil rights decisions of the modern era."   A pair of landmark rulings  by the New Jersey Supreme Court, prohibiting "exclusionary zoning" and requiring a "fair share" of affordable housing in every municipality in the state.

Mount Laurel, a court case that began nearly 50 years ago when the South Jersey suburb blocked just 36 garden apartments intended for displaced black and poor residents.  The NAACP filed suit - and the rest is history.

But it's been a troubled history, praised by some, condemned by others .. and still creating dissension, resistance and, now, still another major Supreme Court ruling.

The ongoing fight for fair housing, the Governor's opposition and what comes next - on this week's edition of "Due Process."

Studio guests: Senator Ray Lesniak and Assemblyman Scott Rumana.

on

airs: Sunday November 3 at 9:30 am and 7 pm

and Tuesday November 5 at 11:30pm

Cindy Meneghin and Maureen Kilian at their long-awaited wedding In Montclair

This Week on Due Process 

When Lambda Legal filed suit 11 years ago, the idea was to make New Jersey the first state in the union to legalize same-sex marriage.  But 13 other states and the District of Columbia got there first.

It wasn't until late last month that New Jersey finally lifted the bar on gay marriage, and, since then, there's been a run on weddings in this state's same-sex community.

On this edition of Due Process, we look back at the long fight for gay marriage, and our Due Process coverage over the last 17 years.

In the studio: Larry Lustberg, who won the latest court case; former Gov. Jim McGreevey, who signed the state's Domestic Partnerships Act nearly 10 years ago, and Demetrios Stratis, a legal advisor to the NJ Family Policy Council.

We hope you'll join us.

This Week on Due Process

On week five of our summer run on Thirteen - It's one of this country's most important stories, yet it's not taught in our schools ... and it's rarely been told.

It's the story of a vast migration of 6 million African-Americans - former slaves, their children and their grandchildren - escaping the terror and humiliation of the South, hoping to finally find freedom in the North.

Pulitzer Prize-winning Author Isabel Wilkerson - our only guest on this edition of Due Process - says her monumental book, "The Warmth of Other Suns," was her attempt to honor more than a half-century of the difficult flight to freedom.

It's a Due Process you won't want to miss!

"BAIL: $$=FREEDOM"

on

airs: Sunday July 21 at 9:30 am and 7 pm

This Week on Due Process 

On any given day, there are 15,000 people in New Jersey's county jails - and a shocking 75% of them have not been convicted of anything. In fact, most of those unsentenced inmates - 4 out of 10 - are locked up only because they can't make bail ... sometimes as little as a few hundred dollars!

On this edition of Due Process, an in-depth look at the pivotal role of money in the pretrial system of justice. If you've got it, you can almost invariably await your day in court in the comfort of your community. If not, chances are you'll wait in county lock-ups - for months or even years.

An eye-opening mini-doc features the first-hand stories of two indigent defendants jailed for long pretrial stretches and only freed - for time served - after agreeing to plead guilty. In the studio, NJ Public Defender Joseph Krakora and Bergen Prosecutor John Molinelli debate the possibility of bail reform. 

We hope you'll join us.

This Week on Due Process 

Marijuana.  Blacks and whites smoke it, studies show, in roughly equal numbers.  Then why are African Americans nearly four times more likely to be busted?

 Is it racism? Police targeting? Conspiracy? And does the answer to such glaring discrepancy lie not in raising the number of white arrests, but in legalizing pot for everyone?  It's already been done in Colorado and Washington State.

 A new ACLU national study raises disturbing questions about race, marijuana - and justice.  And it's the impetus for this edition of Due Process.  Our studio guests are ACLU-NJ Executive Director Udi Ofer, former Morris County Prosecutor Robert Bianchi and Criminal Defense Attorney Alan Bowman.

We hope you'll watch this most provocative discussion this Sunday on NJTV - and that you'll visit our website or our Facebook page to tell us what you think.
