Torture And Plea Bargaining, John H. Langbein Jan 1978

Torture And Plea Bargaining, John H. Langbein

Articles

In this essay I shall address the modem American system of plea bargaining from a perspective that must appear bizarre, although I hope to persuade you that it is illuminating. I am going to contrast plea bargaining with the medieval European law of torture.

Articles

Grievances and restlessness among convicted prisoners led to legislation-in 1943 in Massachusetts, in 1957 in Connecticut-establishing sentence review boards composed of three judges of the trial courts of first instance. The authors explore in these two jurisdictions bow often and under what circumstances sentences are appealed and modified and what effect, if any, these modifications have on the sentencing practice in the trial courts.
