ADVOCACY
Advocacy Report (9/8/2018) By William J. Swift, MD I spent time this Spring working with Eileen Hirsch, a supervising attorney at the UW Law School. The issue was mandatory Life Without Parole (LWOP) sentences for teenagers in Wisconsin who commit murder. I started to write an amicus brief arguing that sentences for adolescents who commit capital crimes should not be automatic (like LWOP) but should be thoroughly deliberated, looking at factors such as the possibility of rehabilitation, circumstances of the offense, family and home environment, level of maturity, capacity to appreciate risks and consequences, etc. before sentencing.
