Revisiting Prosecutorial Discretion: Can They Do That?
Melba Pearson joins us to revisit our discussion of prosecutorial discretion. Since our initial conversation, the book she mentioned has been released, "Can They Do That? Understanding Prosecutorial Discretion."
We discuss the purpose of prosecutorial discretion, how it influences policy and the different voices needed to discuss the subject.
