Perversion of Justice

2007 30 min

Overview

In this poignant 30 minute documentary, we meet Hamedah Hasan and her three daughters, a family caught in the web of our nation's federal sentencing guidelines and drug conspiracy laws. Hamedah fled from an abusive relationship and found refuge at the home of her cousin, who was selling drugs. When her cousin was arrested, prosecutors also charged Hamedah as a conspirator in the drug-selling operation. What happened next shocked Hamedah, bewildered her attorneys and outraged even the Bush-appointed federal judge who sentenced her, calling this "the most grotesque perversion of justice I can think of."
