| Summary |
Now you must choose between pleading guilty and receiving a shorter sentence-or going to trial and risking decades behind bars. "THE VANISHING TRIAL" focuses on four individuals who were forced to make that excruciating choice. Each was threatened with a "trial penalty," the term used to describe the substantially longer prison sentence a person receives if they exercise their constitutional right to trial instead of pleading guilty. We see how the trial penalty has led to the shocking disappearance of one of the most fundamental individual rights and the explosion in America's prison population. Throughout the film, we hear the perspectives of national experts, including former federal judges and prosecutors, criminal defense lawyers, constitutional law experts, and criminal justice reform advocates. |
