On this episode I speak with Michigan Public Defender Lorne Brown. Mr. Brown was my supervisor when I was an intern with the office back in 2008. Mr. Brown has spent his entire career with the office where he has handled every type of criminal matter ranging from misdeamanor to murder. In this episode we talk about the role of the public defender, what makes a good public defender, and common misconceptions. We also talk about how race, class, and socio-economic factors all play into the Criminal Justice System.
