Segment 1: “Prosecution Complex”
The U.S. legal system is built on the ideals of fair trials and zealous representation. But University of Utah law professor Daniel Medwed argues the system is rife with prosecutors behaving badly and that has tragic human consequences. On Monday, Medwed joins us to examine the extent of prosecutorial misconduct and what can be done to fix the system.
Guest:
- Daniel Medwed, Prof. of Law, University of Utah
Daniel Medwed will read from and sign copies of “Prosecution Complex: America’s Race to Convict and Its Impact on the Innocent” on Tuesday, March 6 at 7 p.m. at the Jewish Community Center, 2 North Medical Drive, Salt Lake City.

Guests:
