episode DA Jared Williams on Youth, Justice and Common Sense Prosecution cover

DA Jared Williams on Youth, Justice and Common Sense Prosecution

District Attorney Jared Williams (Augusta, Georgia) used to spend his Christmas mornings in the local Youth Detention Center. It wasn't because Jared got into trouble - instead, his parents would bring him to the Center to show him the experience of kids who didn't have the advantages he had growing up, and to make sure those children didn't spend the holidays alone. To this day, the perspective Jared developed through those early experiences continues to shape his approach to criminal justice. As his community's top prosecutor, Jared has more opportunities than ever to see how early interventions and investments in the lives of youth can help prevent them from becoming involved in the justice system. As Jared explains, giving children access to more resources, especially if they have an incarcerated family member, isn't a "reform" tactic as much as it's a cost-effective and common sense way to minimize harm in his community. Jared's interest in the lives of Augusta's youth is only one of the topics we covered in this wide-ranging interview. Shortly after his election in 2020 - as the first black person ever, and the first Democrat in many years to win his seat - Georgia's state legislature carved out a portion of his district so that a more conservative prosecutor could represent it. As Jared points out, that type of gerrymandering cuts both ways: state lawmakers disenfranchised thousands of his supporters while also stripping some of his opponents of any say over his policies. This was one of the many unexpected insights from our conversation. Ultimately, our discussion was about values: where they come from and how they show up later in life, especially in a job like Jared's, where the stakes are high.

episode John Chisholm on Investigating Federal Agents cover

John Chisholm on Investigating Federal Agents

Over the past few weeks, two people were killed by federal law enforcement agents in Minneapolis during immigration enforcement actions directed by the Trump White House. In this conversation, we don't delve into immigration policy or whether the shootings are legally justified. Instead, we focus on why and how local prosecutors should investigate allegations of misconduct by federal agents. Local investigations are essential for creating an independent, public record — one that ensures transparency and maintains community trust. And John Chisholm is the perfect guest for this topic: as the former Milwaukee DA, he oversaw investigations that resulted in both pursuing and declining charges against police, earning criticism from both sides. Drawing on 18 years in office, John explains his approach to police-involved fatalities, how federal–local cooperation has traditionally worked, what's shifted in Minneapolis, and practical advice for prosecutors addressing federal misconduct today.

episode DA Dalia Racine on Prosecution Through a Survivor's Lens cover

DA Dalia Racine on Prosecution Through a Survivor's Lens

DA Dalia Racine of Douglas County, GA is unique in her willingness to be extremely candid about everything from her personal background to what she has learned about crime and humanity from her time as a prosecutor. As you'll hear in this episode, Dalia's career has been shaped by her own experience as a survivor of child sex abuse. But what she went through as a child has made her approach to sex crimes cases much more nuanced than you might expect. The road to Dalia's current position was exceptionally challenging for a number of political reasons – all of which she discusses in this episode. And her victory in 2020 marked the first time a woman of color won that office in its history. This episode explores how one prosecutor's tenacity, humility, and deep capacity for empathy can shape their approach to the job.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
