Mrs. Taifa's speech focused on the lack of judicial discretion in criminal cases involving mandatory minimum sentencing, particularly those involving crack/cocaine powder sentencing disparity, highlighted in the 1986 Anti-Drug Abuse Act. Her speech focuses on the new research in the field, as well as new breakthroughs underway to possibly end the disparities.
