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!

New on Thirteen and NJTV: Falsely Imprisoned: The McCallum Case

"Falsely Imprisoned: The McCallum Case"

and Tuesday August 4 at 11:30pm  

David McCallum, exonerated and released, after 29 years

  

This Week on Due Process  

Innocent men and women convicted and imprisoned.  The estimates range from 2 to 10 per cent of everyone locked up.  In a country that puts millions behind bars, that's tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, falsely imprisoned.

That stat is shocking, but the horror really sets in when you come face to face with the innocent people behind those numbers, and none more than David McCallum, who lost nearly two-thirds of his life to a crime he did not commit.

On this edition of Due Process, David's tragic story and its happy ending - long overdue.  It took a virtual village of lawyers and supporters, including Rutgers Law Prof. Laura Cohen and the students in her Criminal and Youth Justice Clinic, to finally win his freedom.

In the studio: Cohen joins Ryan Haygood, President of the New Jersey Institute for Social Justice, in discussing the many troubling issues raised by David's case: issues of juvenile justice, coerced confessions, false imprisonment, inadequate legal counsel, exoneration and re-entry.

We hope you'll join us for this important episode of Due Process.

Mohamedou Slahi, imprisoned at Guantanamo for 13 years - without charges

  

This Week on Due Process  

The NY Times has called him "collateral damage in the war on terror."   Taken from his home in Mauritania after 9/11, Mohamedou Slahi has been held in the island prison camp for 13 years - tortured and never charged.

His lawyers say there was never evidence connecting him to terrorism; five years ago a federal judge agreed and cleared him for release. Nonetheless, he remains isolated and imprisoned along with 115 other detainees, nearly half of whom have also been cleared.

On this edition of Due Process: Guantanamo, torture, Mohamedou Slahi - who has somehow managed to write and publish a book from inside - and the international literary and arts community which has rallied around him.

In the studio: Hina Shamsi, director of the ACLU's National Security Project and a member of Slahi's legal team, and Seton Hall Law Prof. Mark Denbeaux, who has been to Guantanamo 75 times, representing other inmates whom he says should also be freed.

It's a don't miss edition of Due Process.  We hope you'll join us!

This Week on Due Process 

Sandy and I have been inside jails and prisons countless times - I as a criminal defense lawyer; she as a legal journalist. And every time we walk out those steel doors, we're flooded with relief that we're not the ones locked up.

But imagine you're in lock down, not just imprisoned, but confined to a space not much bigger than your bathroom for 23 hours a day.

Is it cruel and unusual?  Is it torture?  Who ends up in isolation and why?  And what is the mental and emotional impact?  With legislation to reform solitary confinement now pending in New Jersey, those are just some of the questions we'll look at in this important edition of "Due Process."

In the opening mini-doc, Sandy and Producer Tania Bentley bring us face to face with men who've been held in New Jersey's solitary units - from months to decades - and with corrections officials who insist that solitary in New Jersey no longer exists.

In the studio: Rev. Seth Kaper-Dale of the National Religious Campaign Against Torture; former New York City Corrections Commissioner Martin Horn, and Senior Officer Lance Lopez, president of the state corrections union.

Please join us on Thirteen or NJTV.  It's a "Due Process" you don't want to miss!

This Week on Due Process  

Obamacare and same-sex marriage.  If you thought that Supreme Court decisions had closed the book on both, you'd be wrong.

Despite critical rulings upholding both the Affordable Care Act and marriage equality, they're back before the High Court this term in cases that could decide if 7 million people lose their health care, and whether gay marriage becomes legal in all 50 states.

The how, the why, the what to expect: they're the focus of this week's edition of Due Process.  It's our annual SCOTUS Update with Supreme Court Insider Steve Shapiro, National Legal Director of the ACLU.

So please join us this weekend on Thirteen or NJTV.  It's a Due Process you won't want to miss!
