In this episode Brian Kelmar answers the question, how should the criminal justice system treat those with developmental disabilities, and more specifically, defendants with autism?

Brian Kelmar is the President and Co-Founder of Decriminalizing Developmental Disabilities, or DThree (formerly known as Legal Reform for the Intellectually and Developmentally Disabled).  Brian’s journey of criminal justice reform began when his autistic son was convicted of having sex with a minor. Brian now advocates for policy change to allow sentencing judges to account for developmental disabilities and for others to be educated on this issue.
