I have friends throughout the length and breadth of the land, and these are the poor and the weak and the helpless, to whose cause I have given voice. - Clarence Darrow2 * Visiting Associate Professor of Law, Georgetown University Law Center.

INTRODUCTION: A HOSTILE CLIMATE FOR CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYERS AND OUR CLIENTS Criminal defense work is an increasingly difficult undertaking in these harsh times. Blame is a favorite pastime. Vengeance follows close behind. Compassion for those who commit wrongdoing out of misfortune seems either nostalgic or naive. Instead, there is a universal call for individual accountability; wrongdoers ought to be held strictly responsi- ble for their actions, no matter the circumstance.? Along with blame and vengeance comes a lust for punishment. The public cannot seem to get enough of it.4 The United States is building prisons at a record pace. If the current trend continues, the number of Americans behind bars will soon surpass the number of students enrolled full-time in four-year colleges and universities.' Incarceration remains a popular solution for a wide array of social problems.' As one criminologist has noted, "jail has become the social service agency of first resort.'"7 3. There are a growing number of commentators across the ideological spectrum that call for greater individual accountability for wrongdoers and ridicule as an "excuse" any suggestion of social causes. For a small sample, see SHARON LAMB, THE TROUBLE wrrH BLAME: VICTIMS, PERPETRATORS, AND RESPONSIBILITY (1996); ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ, THE ABUSE EXCUSE (1994); and JAMES Q. WILSON, THINKING ABOUT CRIME (1983). 4. Lois G. FORER, A RAGE TO PUNISH (1994). 5. See Fox Butterfield, CrimeKeeps on Falling;but PrisonsKeep on Filling, N.Y. TIMES, Sept. 28, 1997, at D1; Fox Butterfield, 'Defying Gravity,' Inmate Population Climbs, N.Y. TIMES, Jan. 19, 1998, at A10. These are boom times for the prison industry, in which employment has increased thirty percent. Morning Edition (National Public Radio broadcast, May 27, 1997). 6. For example, incarceration is increasingly proposed to address juvenile delinquency, illegal immigration, and drug use. See, e.g., Jerry Gray, House Passes Bill to Combat Juvenile Crime, N.Y. TIMES, May 9, 1997, at 1; Celia Dugger, Dozens of Chinese from 1993 Voyage Still in Jail, N.Y. TIMES, Feb. 3, 1997, at 1; Rick Murphy, Prosecutors Shun Drug Treatment Center, N.Y. TIMES, Apr. 6, 1997, § 13 (Long Island Weekly), at 4. There may be constitutional limits to some of these practices.

TIMES MAG., July 13, 1997, § 6, at 28. 1999] CRIMINAL DEFENSE 445 If prisons were not enough, there is the ever-popular death penalty.' For some prosecutors, every homicide is a capital case.9 The few prosecutors on the "other side!-those who have been long-standing opponents of the death penalty-seem to be changing their minds1 ° or getting out of the prosecution business altogether." Politicians and judges opposed to the death penalty are practically an endangered species; they pay a steep political price if they stick to their princi- ples. 2 It is not that those accused or convicted of crime have never before been reviled or reproved. Prior to the advent of penitentiaries in America in the nineteenth century, there were all sorts of cruel punishments inflicted upon convicted criminals, including whipping, 8. See, e.g., Sam Howe Verhovek, As Texas Executions Mount, They Grow Routine, N.Y. TiMEs, May 25, 1997, § 1, at 1. As of 1997, all but twelve states--Alaska, Hawaii, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wisconsin-permit the death penalty. Id. 9. See, e.g., Tina Rosenberg, The Deadliest D.A., N.Y. TIMES MAG., July 16, 1995, § 6, at 22; Kevin Sack, Jury Holds a Drunken Driver's Life in the Balance, N.Y. TIMES, May 6, 1997, at Al. 10. Compare Rosenberg, supra note 9, at 24 (noting that before New York enacted the death penalty in March 1995, Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau opposed it, but now will "'exercise [his] discretion wisely.'"), with Robert M. Morgenthau, What Prosecutors Won't Tell You, N.Y. TIMES, Feb. 7, 1995, at A25 (Morgenthau asserting that "[tihe death penalty actually hinders the fight against crime"), and James Traub, The D.A.'s Dilemma, NEW YORKER, July 28, 1997, at 26 (Morgenthau noting that Philadelphia, a city with a comparable population to New York County-and a D.A. who seeks the death penalty for every eligible case-had more than twice the number of homicides than New York in 1996). But'ie Morgenthau, supra. (Morgenthau indicating that he would decide whether to seek the death penalty for two men accused in the brutal slaying of Jonathan Levin, a beloved Bronx high school teacher, "on the merits"). 11. See, e.g., Arlo Wagner, Sonner named to judgeship: Will vacate prosecutorpost for second.highest court, WASH. TIMES, Nov. 1, 1996, at C7. 12. See generally Stephen B. Bright & Patrick J. Keenan, Judges and the Politics of Death:Deciding Between the Bill of Rights and the Next Election in CapitalCases, 75 B.U. L. REV. 759, 760 (1995) (examining the politics of the death penalty and finding that "[d]ecisions in capital cases have increasingly become campaign fodder in both judicial and nonjudicial elections"). Among politicians, the most steadfast, high profile death penalty opponent, former New York Governor Mario Cuomo, has been replaced as governor by an ardent supporter, George Pataki. See David Nyhan, The cost of death penalty-it's a killer, BOSTON GLOBE, Mar. 10, 1995, at 23. Even Washington, D.C.

Criminal lawyers cannot escape the scorn heaped upon our clients. Some see us as indistinguishable from those we represent. James Kunen's cleverly titled book "How Can You Defend Those People?"5 captures the cocktail party experience of criminal defense lawyers everywhere. How many times must we face this question and be forced to respond with equanimity and charm? 6 The presumption is that there is something wrong with "those people" and something wrong with those of us who stand by their sides. Unfortunately, it is not just our parents' friends at random social gatherings who think this way-it is our friends.

  • Student Communes, Political Counterculture, and the Columbia University Protest of 1968
    THE POLITICS OF SPACE: STUDENT COMMUNES, POLITICAL COUNTERCULTURE, AND THE COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY PROTEST OF 1968 Blake Slonecker A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by Advisor: Peter Filene Reader: Jacquelyn Dowd Hall Reader: Jerma Jackson © 2006 Blake Slonecker ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT BLAKE SLONECKER: The Politics of Space: Student Communes, Political Counterculture, and the Columbia University Protest of 1968 (Under the direction of Peter Filene) This thesis examines the Columbia University protest of April 1968 through the lens of space. It concludes that the student communes established in occupied campus buildings were free spaces that facilitated the protestors’ reconciliation of political and social difference, and introduced Columbia students to the practical possibilities of democratic participation and student autonomy. This thesis begins by analyzing the roots of the disparate organizations and issues involved in the protest, including SDS, SAS, and the Columbia School of Architecture. Next it argues that the practice of participatory democracy and maintenance of student autonomy within the political counterculture of the communes awakened new political sensibilities among Columbia students. Finally, this thesis illustrates the simultaneous growth and factionalization of the protest community following the police raid on the communes and argues that these developments support the overall claim that the free space of the communes was of fundamental importance to the protest. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Peter Filene planted the seed of an idea that eventually turned into this thesis during the sort of meeting that has come to define his role as my advisor—I came to him with vast and vague ideas that he helped sharpen into a manageable project.

  • Lessons from New York's Recent Experience with Capital Punishment
    BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR: LESSONS FROM NEW YORK’S RECENT EXPERIENCE WITH CAPITAL PUNISHMENT James R. Acker* INTRODUCTION On March 7, 1995, Governor George Pataki signed legislation authorizing the death penalty in New York for first-degree murder,1 representing the State’s first capital punishment law enacted in the post- Furman era.2 By taking this action the governor made good on a pledge that was central to his campaign to unseat Mario Cuomo, a three-term incumbent who, like his predecessor, Hugh Carey, had repeatedly vetoed legislative efforts to resuscitate New York’s death penalty after it had been declared unconstitutional.3 The promised law was greeted with enthusiasm. The audience at the new governor’s inauguration reserved its most spirited 4 ovation for Pataki’s reaffirmation of his support for capital punishment. * Distinguished Teaching Professor, School of Criminal Justice, University at Albany; Ph.D. 1987, University at Albany; J.D. 1976, Duke Law School; B.A. 1972, Indiana University. In the spirit of full disclosure, the author appeared as a witness at one of the public hearings (Jan. 25, 2005) sponsored by the Assembly Committees discussed in this Article. 1. Twelve categories of first-degree murder were made punishable by death under the 1995 legislation, and a thirteenth type (killing in furtherance of an act of terrorism) was added following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

  • A Former TMZ Employee Said She Was Fired After Complaining About a Sexist, Toxic Work Environment
    A Former TMZ Employee Said She Was Fired After Complaining About A Sexist, Toxic Work Environment buzzfeednews.com/article/krystieyandoli/ex-tmz-employee-lawsuit A former TMZ employee filed a lawsuit against the celebrity gossip show’s parent companies Warner Bros. Entertainment and EHM Productions on Tuesday alleging gender discrimination and retaliation. Bernadette Zilio, 27, worked at TMZ and TooFab, another entertainment site owned by Warner Bros. and EHM Productions, from 2015 to 2020 and said she was fired after she complained to HR about a culture of toxicity and sexism. TMZ founder Harvey Levin, TooFab Managing Editor Shyam Dodge, and TooFab Senior Producer Ross McDonagh are also named in the lawsuit. In the complaint, which was filed Tuesday with the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, Zilio said she went to Warner Bros. HR representatives in April 2019 about issues of “sexism, belittlement, preferential treatment and lies running rampant on [her] team.” She told HR that she felt there was a division of how men and women were treated on her team, and that when she spoke up about McDonagh writing articles she considered sexist and offensive, such as one that compared Rihanna getting sick with bronchitis and the “attack on her lungs” to her being attacked by Chris Brown, her concerns about making light of domestic violence were dismissed. The complaint also says that Zilio and her female colleagues described the work environment as “a boys’ club,” “100% a bro fest,” and a “freaking frat house.” “The first time I went to HR, they launched an investigation,” Zilio told BuzzFeed News.
