October 1, 2019–The Hill published an opinion article by Due Process Institute President Shana O’Toole encouraging both chambers of Congress and both parties to turn their focus to abolishing acquitted conduct sentencing.
“Justice is not a partisan issue and every American wants a fair and effective criminal justice system. That requires respect for due process, restoring the primacy of the citizen jury, and adhering to the core principles of our Constitution. We applaud [Senators] Grassley and Durbin for leading the effort to reach across the aisle in a difficult political environment to affirm that Americans should not serve prison time for crimes they did not commit.”
