This is part 1 of my interview with acclaimed Defense Attny Tony Serra. Tony has been named one of the best trial lawyers of the 20th century and has defending clients pro-bono ranging from Huey Newton of the Black Panthers, to "Brownie Mary" a little old lady arrested for bringing marijuana brownies to hospice patients. Having taken a vow of poverty himself, he is the defense attorney of the underdog and many of his cases have had national significance.
Research for this episode came from "Lust for Justice: The Radical Life and Law of J Tony Serra" by Paulette Frankl.
