ACLU Of Oregon Considers The Role Of District Attorneys




OPB's Think Out Loud show

Summary: A recently launched American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon campaign about the role of district attorneys has stoked debate. “They Report to You” points out that many district attorney races go uncontested, which the ACLU of Oregon argues is stunting criminal justice reform. Clackamas County District Attorney John Foote responded by accusing the ACLU of Oregon of behaving like a “radical political action committee.” District Attorney Foote and ACLU of Oregon executive director David Rogers join us for further discussion.
