We Heart Simple Justice

We want to give a shout-out to Scott Greenfield, Esq. and Simple Justice: A New York Criminal Defense Blog. In this recent post, Simple Justice describes us and our goal perfectly:

The blog is called SentenceSpeak, and states its purpose to be: a forum for educating the general public about sentencing injustices and engaging and finding common ground with "unlikely allies" such as fiscal conservatives, former prosecutors and judges, law enforcement, and members of sentencing commissions. SentenceSpeak is a place for sharing unique perspectives on sentencing policies.

The writing is easily understood and quickly digested, and the content is controversial. There are two authors of the blog, both pseudonymous. FAMM has proven to be a highly credible source of information and done some great work in the sentencing field. As for the blog content, it's unclear whether it represents FAMM's position or just that of the unknown authors.
 
I would expect that it will be directed toward non-lawyers, and thus be a bit on the simplistic side as shown by this post about sentencing for unconvicted conduct, but still a great resource for those who would otherwise have neither knowledge nor access to this sort of information. And it uses some pretty interesting graphics to spice things up.

For non-lawyer sentencing nerds (their description, not mine), this is a very interesting blog and something that you might want to let the families of convicted clients know about.

BINGO! Thanks to Simple Justice for welcoming this new kid to the block.
