This Week on Due Process 

Just last week, Facebook billionaire Mark Zuckerberg posted his take on his $100 million gift to Newark schools.  While acknowledging "mistakes (and) lessons learned," Zuckerberg pointed to resulting gains and successes.

But if you want the inside story on the touted "transformation" that failed, you'll want to catch this week's "Due Process."

An opening mini-doc traces the five year history of the Zuckerberg gift, the fight for control of education in Newark, and the ongoing competition between district schools and charter schools.

In the studio: Ras Baraka, a former high school principal, now the outspoken mayor of Newark;Mary Bennett, who chairs the committee charged with easing the transition from state to local control, and Dale Russakoff, author of "The Prize," the definitive story of the $100 million experiment, which began five years ago with a much-heralded announcement on "Oprah."

We hope you'll join us!

This Week on Due Process  

What to do about undocumented immigrants?  It's been a source of American political debate for decades.  But the children of the undocumented have largely been held harmless. Stripping them of their citizenship has never been seriously proposed in presidential politics ... until now. 

It started as a rant from Donald Trump, but it's finding some traction in the GOP presidential field, and among some of the rank and file.  

Although it's guaranteed in the 14th Amendment, birthright is under attack.  On this week'sDue Process: the history, legality - and morality - of being automatically American by virtue of being born on US soil.

In the studio: Rutgers Law School Dean Ron Chen, Amy Gottlieb of the American Friends Service Committee and Assemblyman Michael Patrick Carroll.

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

New on Thirteen and NJTV: The War on Drugs: Is it Over?

"War on Drugs: Is it Over?"

airs: Saturday October 31 at 7am on

  AND

  

Sunday November 1 at 9:30am and 7pm 

and Tuesday November 3 at 11:30pm  

President Obama on his visit to El Reno Federal Correctional Institution, where he met with inmates - a first for any U.S. president.

  

This Week on Due Process  

Not long ago, it would have been unthinkable.  A U.S. President, a bi-partisan group of senators and law enforcement leaders from America's major cities all urging a shift from the ongoing "war on drugs" to a new, softened approach to drug crime.

 

On this week's edition of Due Process, apparent national recognition that the drug war's been lost - at enormous fiscal and human expense.

 

Could it mean an end to harsh mandatory minimum sentences?  A significant cut in the U.S. prison population - the largest in the world?

 

In our opening mini-doc, we see President Obama going where no president's gone before, and we meet a New Jersey man who was sentenced to 50 years in prison - on marijuana charges!

 

In the studio: Rutgers Law Prof. Elise Boddie, an expert on civil rights and constitutional law, and Bennett Barlyn, a former prosecutor and former director of New Jersey's Sentencing Reform Panel.

 

It's a Due Process you need to see!  Please join us.

New on Thirteen and NJTV: Addonizio: Newark's Million Dollar Mayor

"Addonizio: Newark's Million Dollar Mayor"

airs: Saturday August 29 at 7am on

  AND

  

Sunday August 30 at 9:30am and 7pm 

and Tuesday September 1 at 11:30pm  

Mayor Addonizio and his family before his downfall

  

This Week on Due Process  

Newark politics would never be the same, and neither would unfettered political corruption in New Jersey.  Due Process looks back at the game changing trial of Newark's Mafia-linked mayor, Hugh Addonizio with former U.S. District Court Judge Herb Stern, the onetime federal prosecutor who won the case.

It was more than just another criminal trial.  The successful case against Hugh Addonizio, Newark's mob-connected mayor, would bring black political power to City Hall - and in a state long known for official corruption, usher in a new era of aggressive prosecution .

Now, 45 years later, we return to this watershed event in New Jersey politics - and organized crime - with Judge Stern and Criminal Defense Attorney Joseph Hayden, a former NJ deputy attorney general.

We hope you'll join us!
