Other Professional Highlights
In April, Challenging Mass Incarceration Clinic students won the release of Eriberto DeLeon Jr.22, a client who had served 32 years in prison for a crime he committed when he was 19. Mr. DeLeon’s exceptional record of rehabilitation and service to others while in prison was the basis for a Hartford judge’s granting him a sentencing modification to time served.
On Sept. 25, 2024, Criminal Justice Advocacy Clinic students launched a coalition to support passage of a Domestic Violence Survivors’ Justice Act in Connecticut by hosting an event23 for coalition partners at which Representative Jon Echols of Oklahoma and Alexandra Bailey of the Sentencing Project spoke about their work to enact Oklahoma’s DVSJA. DVSJAs are laws that permit victims of domestic violence who are charged with crimes or in prison to introduce evidence of their victimization’s role in their crimes to reduce their punishments. CJAC is working to make Connecticut the first state in New England to pass a DVSJA.
