OA778: Geese, Ganders & Affirmative Action: Are We Overreacting to SFFA v. Harvard? (Feat. Guha Krishnamurthi)

In this episode, Guha Krishnamurthi, Assistant Professor of Law at South Texas College of Law Houston, discusses his article "The Case for the Abolition of Criminal Confessions," which was honored in the 2021 AALS scholarly papers competition. Krishnamurthi begins by explaining why confessions are terrible evidence of guilt. He observes that criminal defendants often have incentives to falsely confess, and that juries give confessions far more weight than they deserve. He defines confessions as admissions of guilt, not other kinds of evidence. And he argues that we should exclude confessions from criminal trials. Krishnamurthi is on Twitter at @GGKrishnamoomoo.This episode was hosted by Brian L. Frye, Spears-Gilbert Professor of Law at the University of Kentucky College of Law. Frye is on Twitter at @brianlfrye. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
