Sheriff Kimbrough shares the table with Paul James, III, Public Defender, 21st Judicial District, who represents 85% of defendants in our community. The two discuss the recent events in Elizabeth City, the need for transparency, and why video can be the best evidence in law enforcement situations. Paul voices his opinion on the Fourth Amendment, defunding the police, and the need for better resources for those experiencing mental health crises. Paul firmly believes “the criminal justice system can be better if we have more people to reflect the people we are representing by being more diverse.”
