In this episode...
We speak with a former student, Mani Tafuri.  Now as a new attorney, Mani found himself in the middle of a very personal legal fight.  Police in upstate New York charged one of his closest friends for the murder of the 12-year-old son of a former girlfriend. The legal challenges that followed were remarkable, both the racial bias that grew from the case and the constitutional violations. The case was of such import and interest that it is now the subject of an HBO documentary, Who Killed Garrett Phillips, airing on HBO.

About our guest...
Mr. Mani Tafuri is a criminal defense attorney in Queens, NY.  Prior to practicing in his own law firm, he was a Staff Attorney at The Legal Aid Society.
