Interested in #MenendezBrothers resentencing? I just uploaded a draft of my article "Compassionate Undercharging" on @SSRN. Highlighting the impact of domestic abuse, the paper advocates for bringing lesser homicide charges against victimized offenders. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…


Thank you, @SSRN for highlighting my article “Compassionate Undercharging.”

Thrilled to share that my latest project, “Compassionate Undercharging” is now forthcoming @UCDavisLRev I argue that prosecutors should refrain from pursuing murder charges against victimized offenders who committed homicides influenced by domestic abuse. Coming soon on @SSRN.

These beautiful words capture @profjuliet 's contribution to the legal academy. She will be terribly missed. Thank you, @ChrisOdinet In Memoriam: Juliet Moringiello, by Chris Odinet lawprofessors.typepad.com/contractsprof_…


Taking a break from my X hiatus to share with those who are still on this platform. I am deeply shocked and saddened by the sudden loss of my mentor and friend, Associate Dean Professor Moringiello. @WidenerLawCW lost a pillar scholar, leader and teacher. I am devastated.

It is with profound sadness that we share the news Prof. Juliet M. Moringiello passed away last week. She left a lasting impression on Widener and her influence will continue to be felt through the thousands of students she guided into careers that are helping others every day.

I’m officially done with this platform. Hope to interact with many of you at the blue space.

Fortunate to live in PA and blessed to have @GovernorShapiro as my governor. #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthSupport

In just two years, we’ve invested $200 million in student mental health resources, increased funding for county mental health support resources, and delivered more support to the 988 crisis hotline. Mental health is just as important as physical health – and in my

The Federal cuts in funding programs that provide necessary services for domestic violence survivors, including shelters and crisis hotlines are hugely concerning. #Funds are crucial for survivors’ lives. #domesticviolence #funding #Survivor

For 40 years, the Victims of Crime Act has been a critical source of funding for organizations combatting domestic & sexual violence. But funds have been plummeting for years, leaving orgs across the country in crisis. My investigation for @MotherJones: motherjones.com/politics/2024/…



The #MenendezBrothers were never viewed as victims of sexual abuse by their father but merely as greedy offenders. A life sentence without parole for victims/offenders is unfair. After over thirty years, they deserve freedom. #JusticeforErikandLyle time.com/7093882/menend…


Congratulations, @ma_franks ! Looking forward to reading your new book!
