The Process is the Punishment: Hannah Dugan Sentencing Post-Mortem

Ideally, every sentence serves to promote respect for the law.  But in an age of the most lawless DOJ in American history – respect for the law is a dead letter.  The sentencing of Judge Hannah Dugan is the most recent example of a how a weaponized DOJ is built for retribution, not justice.

Doug Passon and sentencing stats expert Mark Allenbaugh conduct one of their famous “sentencing post-mortems”, dissecting every aspect of Judge Dugan’s sentencing.  She avoided a prison cell, but her life is forever changed.

The question that should be hanging over every judge in the country right now: who’s next to get “Hannah Duganed”?
