Public Defenseless

159: The Communication Breakdown Eroding Trust in the Colorado Public Defender System w/Kiyomi Bolick, Mike Kubicek, and Oliver Rose Katz


Listen Later

Last year, Hunter spoke with members of the newly formed Defenders Union of Colorado (DUC) to discuss their reason for unionization and the challenges facing all employees of Colorado Public Defense. Today, Hunter is once again speaking with DUC, but this time, they discussed the complete failure of leadership to be transparent with them and how that is eroding trust between the two.

Guests:

Kiyomi Bolick, Long Time Colorado Public Defender and a Founding Organizer of DUC

Mike Kubicek, Investigator, Durango Office of the Public Defender

Oliver Rose Katz, Administrative Assistant, Brighton Office of the Public Defender
