In 1996 Margo Macartney was assigned to represent an 18 year old kid charged with first degree murder. It was a terrible miscar-riage of justice, which resulted in the kid growing up in prison. He is now 45 years old. She was haunt-ed by the injustice she saw and wrote a book, Under the Wheels of Justice. Margo will talk about that book, and how she came to write it, and the events that created such an injustice. She will also address the crushing Arizona sentencing laws that refuse to acknowledge a sen-tence of “life with the possibility of release in 25 years”. There is no parole in Arizona. There is no parole board in Arizona. If the word "life" is in the sentencing document, the prison intends to keep that person for natural life, essentially ignoring the intent of the sentencing judge.
