I’ve only listened to the 1st three episodes so far. I appreciate what you’re doing here. I am currently looking at over 300 years even though the charges are likely to be dropped because they are silly on their face. It still causes me and my family stress and this shouldn’t be happening to me or anyone else.
Amazing informative

Great reporting and information but extremely one sided. Would love to see the attention and effort put in to see the full picture on both sides of the issues so everyone can learn through different perspectives.
