The HBS host discuss the criminal justice system’s failure to produce morally right outcomes.
The “not guilty” verdicts in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial made plain the often dramatic difference between what is legally permissible and what is morally permissible. In this episode, we talk about where that difference should be maintained and where it should be diminished or abolished.
