POS 484 CRIMINAL DUE PROCESS

In class today, Thursday 11/21, we first went over some aspects of Assignment #2, due next Tuesday. We finished up with some aspects of jury selection, and then discussed the two free press v. fair trial cases, Sheppard and Richmond Newspapers. We got as far in Richmond newspapers as the presumption of an open trial,absent some overriding interest. That's where we'll pick when we return to the text. The assignment for Tuesday 11/26 is to complete work on Assignment #2, due at the beginning of class on Tuesday.
