Felony Miami

Ok so this is episode 13...it's an intermission episode between Season 1 of Felony Miami and our next upcoming Season 2. What we've prepared for you is a little taste of what happens after the show ends and the microphones are still on. Enjoy these little hidden snippets from Felony Miami, and we'll be with you on Season 2 next time.

Money, power, respect. If you’ve got the first one, you can buy the rest.

If you’ve got power, you can get the money, take money, or make the money.  And if you’ve got respect, people will give you everything they work for. But if you don’t have any of those, good luck making the other two count for anything. It’s up to us to knock it down because where there is injustice for one, theres injustice for all. Welcome to Felony Miami. Let’s air it out.

Beating the system, convincing the jury, making a deal, smashing the state, crushing the closing, destroying the evidence…Wait, maybe not destroying the evidence….Suppressing the evidence and manipulating the system all in the name of constitutionality. Whatever you’ve gotta do to get out of jail, your criminal defense lawyer is there to do it for you. If you can afford it.

Anarchy, calamity, destruction, disorder, the annihilation of civility, the total breakdown of society, the end of all order and descent into chaos. These are the results that those in power fear, and their pretext for crushing the souls of millions under the steel toed boot of the criminal justice system. Just because it’s a man-made law, doesn’t make it righteous. It is in this system that we seek justice, for where there is injustice for one, there is injustice for all.

If you end up on the wrong side of the law, you’re probably going to get offered one of theses deals: It's called a plea bargain. But is this a game of let's make a deal, the price is right, the wheel of fortune, or double jeopardy? The plea bargain is a negotiation between the prosecution and the defense in order to reduce the amount of cases that will go to trial in an already over burdened criminal justice system.

On this episode of Felony Miami, we have a former bank robber, rehabilitated and turned activist anti corruption blogger; a Miami reality tv star who is woke and fully activated in her community; and one of America’s top pop musicians and record producers. Welcome to Felony Miami. Where there is injustice for one, there is injustice for all.

The number one call that most cops are afraid to answer is a domestic dispute. Why? Because that's when people are at their most vulnerable, emotional, and unpredictable. Why do relationships seem to make some act so crazy? If we had the answer, we wouldn't be having this conversation. But one thing we do know is that violence is not the way to solve your problems.

The slammer, the joint, the clink, the hoosgow, gray bar hotel, the pen, the pokey, the brig, the big house, club fed, up the river, statesville, the can, incarceritis, gangster college, locked up.  Whatever you call it, if you're arrested in Miami, you might need one of these folks. Surety agents, bounty hunters, bail bondsmen these are the people you'll need to get your get out of jail free card, that's not so free.

What is justice and who does it serve? Murderers sometimes walk free after 12-15 years in prison, while low level drug offenders can go away for life. Two different killers with two different lawyers get two different sentences. Why? Is Lady Justice blind? Today we welcome Leroy Jones, Denise Georges, Dr. Bernard Ashby, and host Joe Stone.

Florida is one of only four states that permanently bans convicted felons from ever voting again in their life. The other three are Kentucky, Iowa, and Virginia. Why is Florida an outlier in restoring felon’s rights?
