Description
As Eric attends to public defense duties, Bobbin is joined by Youth Justice Project Director & Managing Attorney Gabe Newland to talk about youth justice in Oregon. Bobbin and Gabe catch up on this week’s news with the Supreme Court nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson, Ted Cruz’s buffoonery, and the theater of fear & anger politics. Gabe dives into talking about the adultification of youth in the criminal justice system and how prosecuting children as adults is a cruel practice, and why at the very least, we need to set a minimum age for juvenile prosecution. Gabe and Bobbin discuss SB1008 on Measure 11 cases for youth, Governor Brown’s commutations, and why brain science supports the abolition of the juvenile system.
Produced by Beatrix Li, Communications & Policy Associate
