Sentencing Class @ OSU Moritz College of Law

In this post earlier this month, I flagged a number of "who sentences" stories relating to the death penalty on my Sentencing Law & Policy blog.  Here is now a similar round up of some recent non-capital sentencing stories and commentaries that provide some more "who" perspectives:

• GOP Gov explains how sentencing reform has "Georgia's criminal justice system smarter, fairer, more effective and less costly, while in no way sacrificing public safety"

• Federal judge troubled by how Philadelphia DA is dealing with post-Miller resentencing

• Terrific Marshall Project review of notable (but lower-profile) criminal justice initiatives going to voters in various states

• Local Montana judge being assailed for short jail sentence given to father who raped 12-year-old daughter

• Thoughtful look into fairness/bias concerns with risk-assessment instruments like COMPAS

• Federal inmate refuses Prez Obama's commutation

• "The United States needs a defender general"
