There was an eerie silence in the packed courtroom as everyone looked towards the foreman of the jury. "Guilty," he pronounced five times. The third most senior Catholic cleric in the world had been found guilty of sex crimes against children, bringing shame to the Church on a scale never seen before in its history. Investigative journalist Lucie Morris-Marr was the first to break the story that Cardinal George Pell was being investigated by the police....

Es "gravemente culpable" quien no maneja un asunto con el cuidado que incluso las personas negligentes y poco prudentes suelen emplear. Hablamos de temeridad, ineptitud, indiferencia. Se trata de un descuido supino. A tal punto, que a veces cuesta diferenciarlo del comportamiento doloso o intencional. Si bien la teoría tripartita de la culpa ha sido objeto de fuertes críticas en otras jurisdicciones, es un hecho indesmentible que la misma fue consagrada...

Over the past fifty years, American criminal justice policy has had a nearly singular focus—the relentless pursuit of punishment. Punishment is intuitive, proactive, logical, and simple. But the problem is that despite all of the appeal, logic, and common sense, punishment doesn't work. The majority of crimes committed in the United States are by people who have been through the criminal justice system before, many on multiple occasions.

A provocative and timely exploration of how plea bargaining prevents true criminal justice reform and how we can fix it
When Americans think of the criminal justice system, the image that comes to mind is a trial-a standard courtroom scene with a defendant, attorneys, a judge, and most important, a jury. It's a fair assumption. The right to a trial by jury is enshrined in both the body of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. It's supposed...

In the eloquent tradition of Bryan Stevenson's Just Mercy, an award-winning leader in the movement to end mass incarceration takes on the vexing problem of violent crime. Although over half the people incarcerated in America today have committed violent offenses, the focus of reformers has been almost entirely on nonviolent and drug offenses.

But in America today, how independent can a jury be? How much power does a jury have to not only judge a defendant's actions, but the merits of the law? What happens when jurors decide in criminal trials not to enforce the law or not to...
