Eric Gonzalez made history in November 2017 when he became the first Latino district attorney elected in New York State. And with a promise to helm “the most progressive D.A.’s office in the country,” he didn’t stop making history there. Gonzalez joins the podcast to discuss his track record on safety, guns, crime in the borough, justice versus vengeance, changing the culture of the Brooklyn D.A.’s office, why he chose to become a prosecutor in the first place and more. And we don’t spare him a silly pop quiz, either.
