Ther North Carolina (Duke lacrosse) case /Offline Please

[matthewhpolsci at aol.com]

The North Carolina case and the way the local prosecutor handled it is sure to produce a lot of discussion about policy and procedural changes to constrain prosecutorial discretion.
 
I am interested in the whole subject that I sometimes call "the politics of prosecution," and have been following aspects of it for some years.  If there are colleagues who have work of their own that they want to mention, or ideas they want to share, offline, I would be interested.
 
I will treat anything with whatever degree of restraint others may wish, but I am personally not ready for protracted on-line discussions.  In any case, my experience tells me that most colleagues are expert in, and interested in, judicial decision-making, rather than in pre-judicial decision-making.
 
Sincerely yours,



Matthew Holden, Jr.
