Beyond A Reasonable Doubt with Jordan Cunningham

An arrest can be one of the mostfrightening and confusing experiences of a person’s life. But what actuallyhappens after the handcuffs go on?

In this episode of Beyond AReasonable Doubt with Jordan Cunningham, Mark Wilson and criminaldefense attorney Jordan Cunningham walk listeners through the critical earlystages of the criminal justice process, from arrest and booking to charging,arraignment, bail and the beginning of a defense.

The episode explores three fundamentalideas: what happens after an arrest, why being charged with a crime does notmean someone will be convicted, and how bail and pretrial release actuallywork.

Jordan will explain the importantdistinction between being arrested, being charged and being convicted; whoultimately decides what charges are filed; what happens at the first courtappearance and why the evidence presented by law enforcement is only one sideof the story.

The conversation also examines bail,one of the most misunderstood parts of the criminal justice system. What isbail designed to accomplish? How does a judge decide whether someone should bereleased? What does “own recognizance” mean? And why might two people accusedof similar crimes face very different release conditions?

At its core, this episode will addressan important principle of American criminal law: the government can accuseyou of a crime, but an accusation is not a conviction. The prosecution stillhas to prove its case.
