Nightside with Dan Rea - Rundown for March 15, 2021

Compassionate Release. In Massachusetts, 21 convicted murderers sentenced to life without parole, have been released from prison under the state’s medical parole law. The law permits a prisoner to petition for their release if they have been diagnosed as terminally ill with a life expectancy of fewer than 18 months or in such poor health, they have been deemed a non-threat to society. In essence, this law allows prisoners to die peacefully at home. Is this a good idea?

The State of Affairs with Israel. Dan is joined by the Israeli Consul General for New England, Amb. Meron Reuben. You are welcome to take part in the discussion on the U.S. relationship with Israel and current events in the Middle East.

Trump and the Vaccine. Dr. Anthony Fauci, considered one of the nation's top infectious disease experts, says former President Trump should help combat vaccine skepticism by urging his supporters to get the shot. Should he? Do you think it would be easier to get Trump onboard if the Biden Administration gave him some credit for his help in getting the COVID vaccines developed in record time?
