No Jew’s freedom should come with a price tag – opinion

The article urges Dr. Miriam Adelson to apply her advocacy for Jewish captives to issues within the justice system, specifically addressing the case of Ari Teman. It highlights that a coalition of legal scholars, including Lawrence Lessig and Alan Dershowitz, argue Teman's prosecution was flawed and he deserves presidential clemency. The author questions whether access to justice should depend on affordability, citing reports of six-figure fees for clemency pursuit. The piece also calls for an independent study into whether Jewish defendants receive disproportionately harsh federal sentences. The author states, "no Jew's freedom should ever come with a price tag," and asks Dr. Adelson to urge President Trump to pardon Teman and review his prosecution, while also encouraging examination of sentencing disparities.
