Highlights some recent sentencing discussions at Sentencing Matters Substack

As noted here a few months ago, this summer I helped create a Substack place and space for sentencing discussions titled Sentencing Matters Substack.  It dawned on me recently that I have not been regularly flagging all the interesting original content that has been posted at this Substack (usually on Monday mornings and mostly by Jonathan J. Wroblewski), and so I figured I would catch up here with just a partial listing of some summer highlights:

Fair Enough?  Truth, Justice, and the Case of Chrystul Kizer” by Jonathan J. Wroblewski

Who Cares If the Sentencing Commissioners Get Along?” by Jonathan J. Wroblewski

Presidential Debate: Agreements Call for Deeper Probing on Crime and Punishment” by Douglas A. Berman

The Sentencing Matters Substack Interview: Recent SCOTUS Fellow Sam J. Merchant” by Jonathan J. Wroblewski

Bryan Stevenson, Second Looks, and Lasting Reverberations” by Jonathan J. Wroblewski

Should Second Look Efforts Focus Particularly on Drug Offense Sentences?” by Douglas A. Berman

Can Machine Learning Bring More Diversity – and Maybe Some New Thinking and Insights Too – to the U.S. Sentencing Commission?” by Jonathan J. Wroblewski

This amounts to just an abridged review of all the original content you can check out at the Sentencing Matters Substack.  And I expect we will continue regular postings through the fall and into the new year.  As always, these are exciting sentencing times, and we hope to keep contributing thought-provoking commentaries on thought-provoking sentencing issues.
