Did you know that in most parts of the United States a perpetrator of a violent crime can argue that they should not be convicted of a crime because they panicked when they discovered their victim was gay or transgender? In today's episode, Ms. Rosensweig discusses a recent law that was passed in Nevada, banning this deplorable defense.  She then explains what the defense is, how it is used and how successful it has been in allowing violent criminals to either secure a conviction of a lesser crime or not be convicted at all.  If this episode shocks and disturbs you, please take the time to share it with others.  Knowledge is power.
