USA Today turns to Dyson Professor Melvin Williams for perspective on the economics of political “tell-alls.” Professor Williams explains that memoirs chronicling the scandals and transgressions of political figures are often highly lucrative, especially when they center on affairs, misconduct, and personal drama—context that helps explain the enduring market for books that blur the line between politics, media, and entertainment.

Haub Law Professor Bennett Gershman also writes an op-ed in amNewYork warning about President Trump’s escalating use of the death penalty. He traces Trump’s long history with capital punishment — from the Central Park Five ads to a surge of federal executions — and argues that his renewed push represents a dangerous expansion of prosecutorial power and political theater. In Roll Call, Professor Gershman comments on a controversial Senate payout provision, noting that the structure defies typical legal concepts and raises serious concerns about corruption and prosecutorial integrity.

In Gothamist, Haub Law Professor Emeritus Michael Mushlin is credited as a key architect behind a proposal that would require New York judges to spend a day visiting prisons and jails before making detention and sentencing decisions. Mushlin, one of the nation’s leading experts on prisoners’ rights law, convened a committee of judges and practitioners to strengthen the existing, rarely enforced visitation rule. The updated proposal is designed to ensure judges better understand the conditions they are consigning people to when they impose custodial sentences.
