Hearsay With Cathy Lewis

A Virginia judge handed down a unique sentence in the case of five students who defaced a historic black schoolhouse: read a book. The attorney who suggested this punishment joins us to talk about why she thought it would make a difference in the lives of these youths. Before that, we'll discuss a proposed mental health court in Newport News with the judge who championed the idea and a forensic specialist with the Hampton-Newport News Community Services Board. Tune in at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM.
