Featuring: Kristina Kersey, Senior Youth Defense Counsel

We are revisiting  Jones v. Mississippi as the decision came as a shock and disappointment to juvenile justice advocates across the country.

Kristina helps us review Jones' path to the Supreme Court and what the potential impact of this decision might be.
