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.

    313 | How Marsy's Law is Undermining the Criminal Legal System w/Ráchael Powers

    Today, Hunter is joined by professor Ráchael Powers to discuss Marsy’s Law. For those unfamiliar, Marsy’s Law is one of many types of Victim’s Bill of Rights law that exist around the country. These laws are designed to give victims of crime more rights in the criminal legal system. The only problem? They often directly conflict with the rights of the accused. Today, Ráchael joins us to talk about a report she published for the NACDL about the dangers of Marsy’s Law.   Guests: Ráchael Powers Resources: Contact Ráchael https://researchdirectory.uc.edu/p/powersro https://x.com/rpowerscrim?lang=en Read the Report https://www.nacdl.org/Document/JusticeforNoneHowMarsysLawUnderminesCrimLegalSys   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?

    312 | How to Create More Opportunities to Fight the Government's Case Pre-Trial w/Chesa Boudin and Eric Fish

    Today, Hunter is joined once again by Eric Fish and Chesa Boudin. This time, Eric and Chesa join the show to discuss a recent law review article they published discussing ways to strengthen pre-trial adjudication. As discussed at length on the show, our criminal legal system has killed the jury trial. As a result, opportunities to bring injustices, misconduct, and corruption to light have faded away. Chesa and Eric’s law review article attempts to point out places around the country that have figured out ways to revive adversarial aspects of our legal system before trial. In doing so, they offer a pathway that criminal defense lawyers may be able to increase their chances to oppose the governments case in public.   Guests: Chesa Boudin, Executive Director, UC Berkley Criminal Law and Justice Center Eric Fish, Professor of Law, UC Davis School of Law   Resources: Contact Chesa https://www.law.berkeley.edu/our-faculty/faculty-profiles/chesa-boudin/#tab_profile https://x.com/chesaboudin?lang=en Contact Eric https://x.com/Eric_S_Fish https://law.ucdavis.edu/people/eric-fish   Law Review Article https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=5026754   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?

    311 | How the Supreme Court Injected Chaos and Confusion into the Second Amendment w/Jacob Charles

    Today, Hunter is joined by Professor Jacob Charles to discuss the Second Amendment. Since D.C. v Heller in 2008, the Second Amendment transformed from nearly dead letter law to one of the most rapidly changing areas of the Constitution. Jake joins the show to detail that transformation and explain the impacts it is having on our legal system.   Guests: Jacob Charles, Professor of Law, Pepperdine University Caruso School of Law   Resources: Contact Jake https://law.pepperdine.edu/faculty-research/jacob-charles/ https://bsky.app/profile/jacobdcharles.bsky.social https://x.com/JacobDCharles SSRN https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/cf_dev/AbsByAuth.cfm?per_id=1714457 Heller https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/554/570/ Bruen https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf/20-843_7j80.pdf Rahimi https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/22-915_8o6b.pdf   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?

    310 | How the Junk Science Shaken Baby Syndrome Infected the Criminal Legal System w/Dr. Julie Mack and Randy Papetti

    Today, Hunter is joined by Dr. Julie Mack and Randy Papetti to discuss Shaken Baby Syndrome. Also known as Abusive Head Trauma, Shaken Baby Syndrome started out as an untested hypothesis meant to help parents keep their children safe. However, police and prosecutors quickly realized the power SBS had to secure convictions. Since then, dozens of people’s convictions have been overturned as courts around the country realize that SBS is an unfounded, junk science that does not belong in the criminal court room.   Guests: Dr. Julie Mack, Radiologist Randy Papetti, Attorney   Resources: CATO Institute on Shaken Baby Syndrome https://www.cato.org/events/shaken-baby-syndrome-examining-evidence-shadow-execution Randy’s Book on Shaken Baby Syndrome https://www.amazon.com/Forensic-Unreliability-Shaken-Baby-Syndrome/dp/0998904333 Feigned Consensus: Usurping the Law in Shaken Baby Syndrome/ Abusive Head Trauma Prosecutions https://repository.law.umich.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3104&context=articles Swedish Study on SBS https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28130787/ Robert Roberson https://www.themarshallproject.org/2023/09/15/texas-shaken-baby-syndrome-baby-death-robert-roberson?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAl4a6BhBqEiwAqvrquptUxczfL4EwGv2aXhKkzhV8LiaHBriGbcdDzCJtXwd7ypeophvb0xoCCckQAvD_BwE https://www.texastribune.org/2024/10/29/robert-roberson-shaken-baby-texas-death-row-evidence/     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?

    309 | The Problems and Promise of Public Defense in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania w/Rob Perkins and Dan Eichinger

    Today, Hunter is joined by Rob Perkins and Dan Eichinger to discuss Public Defense in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. If you’ve listened to the show long enough, then you know that Pennsylvania was one of the last states to provide any funding for Public Defense. While the $7.5 million allocated to support Public Defense is welcome, it is insufficient to account for the decades of underfunding/understaffing in places like Allegheny County. Yet, Dan and Rob believe that with the help of new county leadership, they can finally meet the demands of Gideon in Allegheny County.   Guests: Rob Perkins, Executive Director, Allegheny Lawyer’s Initiative for Justice Daniel Eichinger, Program Administrator, Wayne County Indigent Defense Services Resources: Allegheny Lawyers Initiative for Justice https://www.ali4j.org/   Allegheny Public Defender Report https://www.ali4j.org/research-report-a-path-forward ACLU Report https://www.aclupa.org/en/job-left-undone-allegheny-countys-fork-road 2018 Coverage of Public Defense https://whyy.org/articles/decades-after-landmark-lawsuit-caseload-concerns-continue-in-allegheny-countys-public-defender-office/ Email Rob rob@robperkinslaw.com During the Episode Dan, mentioned Racial Disparity in Allegheny County. Here is an additional note from him: RAND_RTI_Final_Report.pdf (pitt.edu)   Additionally, I mentioned that half of all charges filed against Black people arise from a police initiated encounter. My phrasing could have been more precise as the paper refers to charges arising out of "Black neighborhoods" (as opposed to Black people) and I didn't mention the numbers in terms of the disparity between White neighborhoods, so I wanted to make sure your listeners had the exact language from the report:   (Pg. 47 of the report, pg. 91 of the document):    "In particular, charges that are filed in Black neighborhoods are almost equally likely to initiate from either a call for service or a low-priority law enforcement action (30% versus 27%). However, in the White matched neighborhoods, charges are more than twice as likely to originate from a call for service than from a low-priority law enforcement action (38% versus 17%)."    Additionally, the percentage of charges growing out of a police-initiated interaction is likely higher because, as the authors note (pg. 46):    "Thirty-two percent of the cases could not be matched to the 911 call data. As noted in the previous section, these are likely to be instances where law enforcement officers initiated an action but did not call it in. These unmatched cases are thus classified as unidentified law enforcement–initiated actions."     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?

    306 | Why it's Nearly Impossible to Hold the Government Accountable for Violating your Rights w/Joanna Schwartz

    Today, Hunter is joined by Professor Joanna Schwartz to discuss Civil Rights Litigation. Like they did for the rights of criminal defendants, the conservative legal movement has slowly chipped away at Civil Rights protections under Section 1983.
