Jackson Case, Changing Controlled Substance Definitions, and Summary Reversals
This chapter examines the Jackson case, which raises the issue of whether serious drug offenses should be measured based on the controlled substance schedule at the time of the state offense or at the time of sentencing. The discussion highlights the potential impact on individuals with convictions related to substances that have been decriminalized and touches on the efforts to combat summary reversals in criminal justice cases.
