Manhattan district attorney candidate Eliza Orlins is our latest guest on "The 'A Lot of Sports Talk' Podcast," as she thoroughly explains the elements in place in the criminal justice system that have created inequalities that have crippled Black and brown communities, an issue at the forefront in American life. Orlins, a public defender for over a decade in New York, also explains "defunding the police," a concept that has gained steam after the death of George Floyd and other recent, high-profile incidents of police brutality. In the interview, which took place back in June, she talks about the need to keep the momentum up for cash bail reform, the horrible conditions still found in jails that ended up being breeding grounds for COVID-19, and why she has decided to run for district attorney in Manhattan.
