This Week on Due Process  


Claims of misconduct and bias by Newark Police? Those are longstanding. But detailed charges from the Department of Justice, based on a three year study? That was something new.  

Now, 18 months after the U.S. Attorney announced the findings, a federal monitor's about to step in, a consent decree's about to be signed, and police will come under a kind of scrutiny unprecedented in New Jersey.  

On this edition of Due Process: U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman, the Justice Department's chief prosecutor in New Jersey, predicts the process will bring meaningful reform to the Newark P.D. 

We also talk to Newark Mayor Ras Baraka about his initiative for a new Civilian Complaint Review Board - and his plan to put a civilian lawyer in charge of Internal Affairs.

How successful will it all be in curing generations of discord and distrust between Newark citizens and their police? ACLU Executive Director Udi Ofer tells us that "the devil will be in the details," and maybe in the court challenges sure to come.
