For the prosecution: Bruce Western.
For the defense: Heather Mac Donald.
As someone who is inclined to find fault with the status quo, I expected agree with Western, but Mac Donald’s defense of the criminal justice system is both thorough and compelling. In light of the Gates affair, I recommend giving both essays a read.
