Public Defenseless

Anyone paying attention can tell you that our criminal legal system is perpetuating cruelty and harm, but the complexity of the legal world overwhelms most people simply trying to get through another day. Public Defenseless explores the rot in the justice system and what we can do about it. Join host, Hunter Parnell, as he interviews top defense attorneys and criminal justice stakeholders from across the country as they pull apart the convoluted web of our criminal justice system. Like so many of you, Hunter is not an attorney, simply tired of a news cycle and talking heads that offer no real solutions to the ever-growing list of problems we face. Hunter hopes that with this information, you will share his belief that ordinary people still can make a difference.

    333 | How The American Eugenics Movement Helped Create Habitual Offender Laws w/Daniel Loehr

    Today, Hunter spoke with Professor Daniel Loehr to discuss his research on the Eugenics Origin of Habitual Offender Laws. While many people hear habitual offender laws and think of the three strikes laws from the tough on crime era of the 1990’s, Daniel reveals that the history of these laws traces back to a much earlier and darker time in our nation’s history. Daniel lays out how America’s Eugenics movement wanted habitual offender laws to act as a way to stop certain populations from procreating, and what we as a society should do with these laws given their history.   Guest Daniel Loehr, Professor of Law, City University of New York School of Law   Resources: Contact Daniel daniel.loehr@law.cuny.edu https://www.law.cuny.edu/faculty/directory/daniel-loehr/ Daniel Files an Amicus Brief in Colorado https://law.yale.edu/yls-today/news/amicus-brief-offers-history-habitual-criminal-laws-and-their-origins Daniel’s Article  https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=5159292     Contact Hunter Parnell:                                 Publicdefenseless@gmail.com  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patron www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast  Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN Trying to find a specific part of an episode?

    332 | The Coalition Fighting to Save New York's Discovery Laws w/Amanda Jack and Kalle Condliffe

    Today, Hunter spoke with Amanda Jack and Kalle Condliffe of the New York Legal Aid Society about the fight to save Kalief’s Law. This law, passed in 2020, aimed to create much needed reforms to evidence discovery in criminal trials. Naturally, prosecutors have hated new requirements for disclosure, and they have attempted to get the laws peeled back before they even went in place. Now with the help of Governor Hochul, prosecutors are once again trying to get these laws repealed so they can return to their preferred practice, trail by ambush.      Guest Amanda Jack, Policy Director, Criminal Defense Practice, New York Legal Aid Society Kalle Condliffe, Supervising Attorney, New York Legal Aid Society Resources: Protect Kalief’s Law Coalition https://protectkaliefslaw.com/ Email Amanda Amandajack@gmail.com Email Kalle kcondliffe@legal-aid.org   Contact Hunter Parnell:                                 Publicdefenseless@gmail.com  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patron www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast  Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN Trying to find a specific part of an episode?

    Today, Hunter spoke with Alexandra Bailey and Cindy Nguyen to discuss Oklahoma’s Failure to Protect Laws. A few years back, Alexandra joined the show to discuss theses laws, and as a reminder, these laws allow for victims of domestic violence, mostly women, to be sentenced to longer jail sentences for failing to protect their children from abuse than the men who commit the abuse. Today, Cindy and Alexandra join the show to discuss the fight to reform these laws.   Guest Alexandra Bailey, Domestic Violence Survivor and Advocate Cindy Nguyen, Policy Director, Oklahoma ACLU Resources: SB 594: https://www3.oklegislature.gov/BillInfo.aspx?Bill=sb594&Session=2500   https://www.motherjones.com/criminal-justice/2022/08/failure-to-protect-domestic-abuse-child-oklahoma-women-inequality-prison/   https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/02/oklahoma-failure-to-protect-kerry-king-dave-rader/   ACLU-OK Research/Stats for FTP: 1 in 4 women convicted of failure to protect received sentences longer than the man convicted of abusing the child. 93% of those convicted under failure to protect are women.

    329 | Prosecutorial Reform and the Myth of Individualized Enforcement w/Justin Murray

    Today, Hunter spoke with Professor Justin Murray about his recent law review article, Prosecutorial Reform and the Myth of Individualized Enforcement. On several past episodes, Hunter has explored the field of Progressive Prosecution. As he has uncovered, much of the push back to these types of prosecutors is their decision not to prosecute certain types of crimes. Today, Justin is here to show how that critique does not comport with the history of prosecution, and he asks us to rethink how we understand how Progressive Prosecution should/does operate in our society.   Guest Justin Murray, Professor of Law, New York Law School   Resources: Justin’s Faculty Page https://www.nyls.edu/faculty/justin-murray/ Law Review Article https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4932729   Contact Hunter Parnell:                                 Publicdefenseless@gmail.com  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patron www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast  Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN Trying to find a specific part of an episode?

    Today, Hunter spoke with Ann Block and Nithya Nathan-Pineau from the Immigrant Resource Legal Center to discuss the newest immigration related legislation, executive orders, and policies coming from the Trump administration. Starting with the Laken Riley act, Hunter, Ann, and Nithya walk through the ways in which the criminal and immigration legal systems are fusing together to target immigrants around the country.   Guest Ann Block, Senior Staff Attorney, Immigrant Resource Legal Center Nithya Nathan-Pineau, Policy Attorney and Strategist, Immigrant Resource Legal Center   Resources: Contact IRLC https://www.ilrc.org/ https://x.com/the_ilrc https://www.facebook.com/immigrantlegalresourcecenter https://www.linkedin.com/company/immigrant-legal-resource-center https://www.instagram.com/the_ilrc?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D https://www.tiktok.com/@the_ilrct=8mP0a8dAdtT&r=1 Laken Riley Act https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/5 https://www.ilrc.org/resources/laken-riley-act-juvenile-delinquency https://apnews.com/article/what-is-laken-riley-act-trump-immigration-2667d626139ddf5a16d1533516eab18f https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Laken_Riley At Around 1Hour and 7 minutes, Hunter spoke about the motivations of Eric Adams to support Trump’s immigration policy. At the time of the record, Eric Adams was still facing a criminal charge. As of Feb 10, the charges against Eric Adams were dropped. In the memo to drop the charges, DOJ officials brought up that the charges needed to be dropped so Eric Adams wouldn’t be restricted in solving immigration in NYC. https://apnews.com/article/eric-adams-indictment-109ef48bd49bc8adc1850709c99bf666 https://www.reuters.com/legal/justice-department-seeks-dismissal-charges-against-new-york-mayor-ny-times-says-2025-02-10/ https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/justice-department-moves-drop-case-new-york-city/story?id=118672417 (Dismissal Letter Found Here) Original Charges https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/new-york-city-mayor-eric-adams-charged-bribery-and-campaign-finance-offenses   People being Sent to GTMO https://www.cbsnews.com/news/guantanamo-bay-migrants-trump/ https://migrantinsider.com/p/air-jordan-tattoo-prompts-ice-to    Contact Hunter Parnell:                                 Publicdefenseless@gmail.com  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patron www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast  Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN Trying to find a specific part of an episode?

    327 | Should we Have Universal Public Defense w/Alexis Hoag-Fordjour

    Today, Hunter spoke with Professor Alexis Hoag-Fordjour about two of her most recent law review articles. In her first, she argues for a new way of thinking about how we evaluate claims of ineffective assistance of counsel.
