S2 Ep48: Jake Bird & Inadequate Legal Representation


Listen Later

This week we are featuring our first ever Patron picked episode! Thank you Katy Bjorkman, you lovely Dream Maker, for this week's topic! We start by telling the story of serial killer Jake Bird, and then shift into an explanation on inadequate legal representation. We cover three facets that contribute to the issue; lack of funding, lack of ethical standards, and racial biases & discrimination.
