How Thoughtful Torture Beats Plea Bargaining
Mike Huemer’s new Justice before the Law is predictably excellent. I’ll eventually discuss it in greater depth, but for now I’ll focus on Huemer’s critique of plea bargaining. The heart of the critique is that plea bargaining is coerced confession: It is universally agreed in legal theory that coerced confessions are unacceptable. The main reason is that […] The post How Thoughtful Torture Beats Plea Bargaining appeared first on Econlib. read more

But when, having poisoned those communities, Chevron refuses to clean it up, and instead embarks on a decades-long effort to intimidate and silence anyone who tries to call attention to the disaster they created... read more

Justice For Assange Is Justice For All
"At last week’s High Court hearing to decide finally whether or not Julian would be extradited to America, he appeared only briefly by video link on the first day. He looked unwell and unsettled.
