This week's Legal Brief, Justine and Amanda discuss the differences between insanity, incompetency, and mental illness in the legal system.  Mental illness is ever present in the criminal justice system, but is it a defense to a crime?

This week Justine and Amanda talk to the Executive Director of the Florida Innocence Project, Seth Miller. Seth tells us all we want to know about the Innocence Project because listen... there are INNOCENT PEOPLE IN PRISON! More than you think... To date, the Innocence Project is responsible for the exoneration of hundreds of wrongfully convicted individuals.  The Innocence Project helps to exonerate people through DNA, witness misidentification, misapplied forensics, and coerced confessions.  Testing DNA costs between $5,000 and $50,000 per case.  Florida has the highest exoneration rate in the country.

This week on Gin & Justice, Justine and Amanda talk with Chad, a pure expert in the criminal justice system in an unexpected way.  Chad tells his story of his long journey through just about every part of the criminal justice system - from prison, to boot camp, probation, parole and Drug Court (and oddly in that order).  Chad explains all you need to know from Golden Seal to "boofing".... we will let him explain.  Be prepared to laugh as Chad puts a human touch on the criminal justice system.

This episode of Gin & Justice, Pete tells Justine and Amanda about his incredible journey through addiction, recovery, and how this journey led him to be perfectly qualified for his current career.  Pete teaches the importance of a sobriety network, and how we can reduce the stigma and shame while helping people transition into a life of recovery.  An all too familiar story to many of us, it is not how an addiction began, but as Pete discusses, how we choose to move forward.
