In any new endeavor - there’s a learning curve. Some things work - some don’t. Try new things. Learn. Grow. Fail. Repeat. That’s been true of my experience in life as well as becoming a podcaster host. Sometimes you succeed. This is that episode for me. This is my favorite to date. Please enjoy.

The DA commenting on an article about a wrongfully charged woman and many other cases that have been dismissed: “but his overall goal, he said, was to refile as many cases as possible” I remember the good ol days when the “overall goal” of the DA’s office was to seek justice. 😞
