Law comes to the Stoop
Law comes to the Stoop
Listen to this article
The legal system will get a public airing next Monday as the popular Stoop Storytelling Series trains its spotlight on the law.
The show’s theme, “Justice Talking: Stories about crime, punishment, and life (and death) in the legal system,” will draw personal essays from a panel of locals at Centre Stage.
Story tellers include former Baltimore Police Chief Frederick H. Bealefeld III (pictured), Fox 45 producer Stephen Janis, public defender Carol Dee Huneke and Mark Farley Grant, whose life sentence for murder was commuted last year after he spend almost 30 years incarcerated.
The show is a tribute to the 50th anniversary of the landmark Supreme Court case Gideon v. Wainwright and is co-sponsored by the Open Society Institute-Baltimore.
Prior to the stories, author Karen Houppert will present her new book, “Chasing Gideon: the Elusive Quest for Poor People’s Justice” at a launch party at Centre Stage.
