THE ARTICLE III PROJECT: A3P Releases Transcripts of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Sentencing Hearings

A3P Releases Transcripts of Judge Ketanji BrownJackson’s Sentencing Hearings

Prosecutor Memos Reveal Graphic Details of Crimes For Which KBJ Gave Weak Sentences

WASHINGTON — Article III Project (A3P) today released new research on Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s excessively lenient sentencing record toward criminals charged with distributing and possessing child pornography. A3P obtained the eight sentencing transcripts and seven prosecutor sentencing recommendations (eighth under seal) for eight separate cases regarding child pornography where Judge Jackson handed down sentences that were below the United States Sentencing Guidlines, a pattern that A3P has found through research since the beginning of the nomination process. The eighth case was reported by Fox News after the hearing, leading to speculation of a cover-up. Yesterday, A3P launched a set of ads calling on U.S. Senators to vote against Judge Jackson’s nomination.
