This Week on Due Process  

It's a job that might fall under the caveat: Be careful what you wish for!  But Peter Harvey beat out two dozen candidates for the job - and he says he can't wait to get to work.

 

After three years as New Jersey attorney general, Harvey has spent more than a decade as a partner in a prestige New York law firm, a world away from the streets of Newark.

 

But, for as long as the next 5 years, Harvey will be splitting his time between the Patterson Belknap firm and the Newark Police.

 

He's the court-approved, Department of Justice-appointed federal monitor, charged with overseeing the daunting task of reforming law enforcement in Newark in the wake of a federal probe that found widespread unconstitutional stops, excessive violence and bias, even theft of evidence by police.

 

Peter Harvey says he thinks all that can change, when he joins me for his first interview since being named Newark monitor.

 

Hope you'll join us, too.

Kevin Paulk, locked up for life for using a toy gun in three robberies

 

 

  

 

This Week on Due Process  

I first met Kevin Paulk 16 years ago in Trenton State Prison, where he'd been imprisoned under New Jersey's Three Strikes Law.  He's still there, and is likely to remain for the rest of his life - for three holdups with a toy gun.

On this edition of Due Process, I return to Trenton and find Paulk still hoping someone will realize his sentence is more severe than that drawn by most convicted murderers.

The Three Strikes Law: an effective deterrent, or a draconian tough-on-crime mistake?

Please join me for our chilling conversation inside a maximum security lockup - and a spirited studio debate between Public Defender Jennifer Sellitti and former Morris County Prosecutor Bob Bianchi.

Yours in justice,

Sandy

This Week on Due Process 

It was another important year in justice.  From victory in the fight for marriage equality to the quagmires of education and immigration, from the beginning of major criminal justice reforms to the ongoing embarrassment of Guantanamo - Due Process was there to tell the tough stories.

So on this week's edition, our annual justice retrospective; our time to review - and update - the issues that drove our coverage in 2015.

Few of those issues were resolved last year - the Supreme Court's definitive verdict on same sex marriage was one of the few - so Due Process is back in 2016 to follow the important trends and transitions along the justice beat.

As always, we welcome you to join us on our journey - to watch this week, and every week.

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.
