DESCRIPTION:<p>On October 26\, 2010\, the State of Arizona executed Jeffrey
  Landrigan. This was after the United States Supreme Court lifted a lower 
 court’s stay of execution. Among the issues the Court considered in that c
 ase was whether Landrigan was entitled to a new sentencing hearing because
  his attorney failed to present any evidence in mitigation\, despite the y
 oung man’s diagnosis of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Justice Clarence Thomas\, 
 who wrote the majority opinion\, stated that the mitigating evidence Landr
 igan sought to introduce\, i.e. evidence of serious organic brain damage a
 ssociated with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome\, “would not have changed the result
 .”2 This was in spite of the fact that Cheryl Hendrix\, the retired Arizon
 a judge who presided over Landrigan’s trial\, submitted a declaration on t
 he defendant’s behalf stating that “Mr. Landrigan would not have been sent
 enced to death\,”3 if she had been given the medical evidence of the defen
 dant’s brain damage and other factors. Some courts say FASD deserves to be
  considered as a mitigating factor\, other courts say it does not\, making
  it a tricky but interesting legal issue. This webinar will explore the br
 ain-based damage that prenatal alcohol exposure causes\, its relationship 
 to high rates of incarceration of youth\, and address its implications for
  adjudicating and sentencing affected children and youth. Presented by Ira
  J. Chasnoff\, MD.</p>
