n this thought-provoking episode of See You In Court, hosts Robin Frazer Clark and Lester Tate sit down with Larry D. Thompson, former U.S. Deputy Attorney General, for a deep dive into justice, fairness, and the power of the legal system.
During the conversation, Lester Tate shares a powerful reflection on prosecutorial discretion, recalling a case where a defendant was convicted of a misdemeanor—yet the prosecution pushed for a prison sentence. His perspective challenges us to ask: Is justice about punishment, or about the fairness of the trial itself?
This episode is packed with wisdom on the role of trials in justice, the balance between civil liberties and public safety, and reflections from his new book, Quiet Counsel: Looking Back on a Life of Service to the Law.
🔹 How should justice be served in our courts?
🔹 When does prosecution go too far?
🔹 How do we maintain fairness in an ever-changing legal landscape?
Tune in for an enlightening conversation with one of the most respected legal minds of our time.
