We recorded over 90% of the sessions. Those not to be recorded will be noted in the description. NAPD did not apply for CLE or CEU for this event and is not able to provide certificates of attendance. This allows us to keep this amazing low price.
Felony murder laws widen the net of extreme sentencing and are counterproductive to public safety. This session:
Presents a legal and empirical foundation for abolishing felony murder laws, in part by assessing their adverse impacts on people of color, young people, and women
Shares the results of a 50-state survey examining when this conviction results in a life-without-parole sentence and with what mens rea requirement
Discusses the scope and limitations of recent reform efforts. The presenter will draw heavily from her report on this topic, co-published by The Sentencing Project and Fair and Just Prosecution.
