What the heck is a Berhe hearing??

I had never litigated a Berhe hearing before. In fact, I didn't immediately recognize that concerns raised by a juror after a murder trial implicated one of Washington's most important protections against racial bias in jury deliberations. That case forced me to become an expert in an entirely new area of law, and ultimately resulted in a murder conviction being vacated and a new trial ordered.

Here's what a Berhe hearing is, why it matters, and why every criminal defense lawyer should understand it.

What is a Berhe hearing? Learn how Washington's landmark State v. Berhe decision addresses racial bias in jury deliberations, why these hearings matter, and how one Berhe hearing resulted in a murder conviction being vacated and a new trial being ordered.

Cases like this are not rare anomalies, and that should concern all of us. When families are separated based on flawed or untested medical conclusions, the consequences are immediate and devastating, often leaving parents fighting for years to undo a decision that never should have been made. The stakes are simply too high to accept a system that can operate without meaningful checks.

The child abuse evaluation system plays a critical role in protecting children, but with that power must come rigorous oversight, transparency, and accountability. When conclusions are reached without sufficient evidence or without room for challenge, families can be torn apart unnecessarily, and trust in the system erodes.

After bringing their baby to the hospital for an unexplained medical condition, a family is separated by suspicion of abuse and now fights to be reunited with their children. NBC News’ Dan Slepian has their story.
