defendants to the wolves in a sense but there's all sorts of legislative initiatives that have gone through that have made that happen and
defendants in cases in which there is physical evidence the best kind of testing to ensure the most fairness that's better
Black defendants , yes, have typically had higher recidivism rates because of historical
individual defendants and groups of defendants might feel they're not treated fairly i think that they can't compare that
than white defendants .
Who are the defendants ?
than white defendants into much more severe sentences, because it was using a data set that showed that black defendants were more likely to commit
So any low-income defendants who may have trouble or somehow impeding transportation or any other inconvenience to get to court, my goal is to have a virtual hearing court
We've grouped defendants together based on the algorithm's predicted defendant crime risk.
48% of white defendants labeled low risk did re-offend, and 28% of black defendants re-offended.
and I sentence defendants and do all of the miscellaneous duties that are required uh for a judge to
against criminal defendants .
um police defendants have waved a jury and had their matters heard before a
So after all my co-defendants had accepted plea deals, miraculously I was offered a plea deal that if I accepted a first-degree felony,

ways that judges regard certain defendants , even in the ways that probably public defenders and certainly prosecutors and juries do, and parole
um the protections for Indigent defendants so on the entry side tend to
We can go into the pool-- the remaining 90% of defendants that the lenient judge has released-- and we can rank order defendants by our algorithm's
And then we can count down that rank-ordered list of defendants by predicted risk and pick another 10% of defendants
And then what we've done is we've binned defendants up.
So the software was particularly likely to falsely flag black defendants as likely to re-offend.
that the hairs didn't come from any of these defendants .

Recidivism risk scores are given to judges when they sentence criminal defendants .
So the Neustadt border court tried over a thousand defendants over the next three years.

So what we wind up having is multiple judges seeing caseloads of defendants that are similar on average, and yet the judges differ a lot with respect
And what you can see here is it's really the highest-risk defendants that are the ones where the judges have the most uncertainty and the most
When jurors deliberated in the morning, both defendants are treated the same way.
And they tried to claim that some of these hairs came from the defendants , looking at it microscopically just under a microscope.
