Business Of Prosecution

Tuesday, July 17 2007 by

In the criminal justice system, the performance of a prosecutor is often measured in convictions. But getting at the truth and getting a conviction don’t always mean the same thing. Will the fall of former Durham DA Mike Nifong have any far-reaching effects on the business of prosecution in North Carolina? Host Frank Stasio discusses the changing nature of seeking justice with: Joe Kennedy, professor of law at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Law School; Irving Joyner, professor of law at North Carolina Central University; Clark Everett, district attorney in Greenville, NC; and, James Coleman, professor of law at Duke University.
