And to this day, you know a lot of those sentences werent fair. How do you make things right? As a federal judge in the mid-90s, Nancy Gertners hands were tied by laws that forced her to come down severely against drug offenses especially when crack cocaine was involved. We often think of judges as all-powerful in their courts. But in this episode, we look at how anti-crack laws forced judges to consider cold sentencing formulas, instead of human beings. Today, Gertner is finding ways to undo some of that damage. ©2016 Audible Originals, LLC (P)2016 Audible Originals, LLC Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com
