What happens when politics “trumps” public safety? The double standard that gives “tough on crime” prosecutors the benefit of the doubt vs. the extreme criticisms of reformers has real human consequences. Certain people are protected, and others are not.
Our guest this week on Pamela Price Unfiltered is the gifted Chesa Boudin, former San Francisco District Attorney and, now the founding Executive Director of Berkeley’s Criminal Law & Justice Center, a policy and advocacy hub.
Chesa and Pamela have a frank conversation about prosecutorial discretion, the death penalty cases in Alameda County and the cover-up by old school prosecutors, and how the double standard in matters of justice is reflected nationally in the right-wing attacks on the use of universal injunctions.
Legally Speaking breaks down the significance of the Supreme Court's decision in Trump v. Casa, and the sharp divide bursting out of the Supreme Court with Justice Amy Coney Barrett's attack on Justice Kentaji Brown Jackson.
