What happens when the very people entrusted to uphold justice betray it in the most disturbing of ways? In this episode of Life Points with Ronda, we confront the shocking case of Judge James B. Gosnell Jr., a South Carolina magistrate once cloaked in authority, now shackled in disgrace.
From the disturbing allegations of child sexual abuse material found in his possession, to his history of using racial slurs and controversial statements during the Dylann Roof hearings, this story forces us to examine not only the fall of one man but the deeper cracks within our institutions.
We’ll explore:
-
How Gosnell’s bail was denied and why it matters.
-
His long history of controversy and betrayal of public trust.
-
The devastating implications for the cases he presided over.
-
The bigger picture: how many more “wolves in sheep’s clothing” are hiding in positions of power?
This episode is not just about one judge—it’s about accountability, vigilance, and the urgent responsibility we all share to protect our communities and our children.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
