Show me the prosecutorial capital discretion realities

As detailed in this post and this webpage, I have the honor of participating tomorrow in an exciting conference co-sponsored by Saint Louis University and Washington University School of Law entitled “Life and Death Decisions: Prosecutorial Discretion and Capital Punishment in Missouri.”  I am heading out to the airport shortly, and thus posting will may be lighter over the next few days while I am in the Show Me state.

If technology permits, I may try to live blog a little bit of the conference tomorrow.  Relatedly, I am hoping someone might be live-blogging the other exciting criminal justice conference going on this weekend, the Columbia Law School’s symposium on “Pursuing Racial Fairness in Criminal Justice: Twenty Years After McCleskey v. Kemp.”
