On January 14, 2013 the Supreme Court heard oral argument in Alleyne v. United States. The question here is whether the Supreme Court’s 2002 decision in Harris v. United States--that the Constitution does not require a jury to determine facts used to increase a mandatory minimum sentence--should be overruled.
To discuss the case, we have Ryan Scott, who is an Associate Professor at Indiana University Maurer School of Law.
