Host of the popular podcast “The Quash” stops by to explain why the legal system in America is flawed by design, and how real change is almost impossible as long as there are no actual consequences for judges and lawyers in how justice is served.
From stacking multiple charges on underprivileged defendants to overworking public defenders, to dirty cops, it is fair to describe the American legal system as completely broken for those without the financial resources to mount a fight, and incredibly lenient for those that can.
Is it time to tear down this ancient system of punishment that was installed by the British centuries ago, or is it worth salvaging with a new approach to incarceration, policing, and justice?
