Court TV covering needle exchange trial tonight DRCNet members who have been with us for over a year may remember that the Chai Project needle exchange program in New Brunswick, New Jersey had been threatened with prosecution by the Governor and the Attorney General. The threats came after the program had received very favorable publicity in New Jersey newspapers, publicity which continued in the wake of the threats and subsequent arrests.
Court TV is also likely to air interviews with experts on the topic of needle exchange.
They are also likely to air an edited version of the most important excerpts from the trial at a later date. Sen. Kerry has a long history of negativity with regard to drug policy. De Greiff had also passed up a speaking opportunity at Harvard Law School, organized by the Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts, citing fears that his country might suffer retaliation from the US government if he did, naming Sen. Kerry in particular.
