This week, Cody Duran hosts Professor Darrell Jackson, J.D., Ph. D. a Professor of Law and the Faculty Director of the Prosecution Assistance Program at the University of Wyoming College of Law. Professor Jackson discusses a wide range of issues in the criminal trial process, and how a prosecutor’s power and role fits into that process. The discretion given to a prosecutor strikes a balance in power between the prosecutor and the judge, and the prosecutor is the first in line to determine whether and how a case will proceed. This episode discusses how implicit biases and institutionalized disparities affect the decision-making process at each phase of the trial.
