Via Zoom courtesy of Bronxville Public Library

The Honorable Jed Rakoff, Senior U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of New York, will discuss his book “Why the Innocent Plead Guilty and the Guilty Go Free, and Other Paradoxes of Our Broken Legal System” (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, Feb. 16, 2021) with Sarah Normand, assistant U.S. Attorney General for the Southern District, on Thursday, Oct. 21, 2021 at 7:00 p.m. via Zoom.Rakoff, a leading authority on white-collar crime, will discuss why innocent people plead guilty, why high-level executives aren’t prosecuted, why you won’t get your day in court, and why the judiciary is curtailing its own constitutionally mandated power. “An elegant broadside . . . The precision with which Rakoff presents his arguments belies his outrage at a system that has gone wrong at multiple turns,” wrote Michael O’Donnell in The New York Times Book Review.
