Crime & Punishment: Criminal Justice through Progressive Prosecutors

Crime & Punishment: Criminal Justice through Progressive Prosecutors

LegalAF x MeidasTouch, the top-rated weekend global news podcast covering US law and politics anchored by Ben Meiselas and Michael Popok, has launched a special weekly Wednesday short-form edition providing a piercing but entertaining look at one or two topics ripped from today’s headlines, this one co-anchored by veteran prosecutor, policy analyst and defense counsel, Karen Friedman Agnifilo (“KFA”). On this inaugural episode, the anchors cover KFA’s “origin story” that brought her to the podcast, including over 20 years in the Manhattan DA’s office (the inspiration for every “Law and Order”), and then Popok and KFA take a hard look at the need for criminal justice reform led by progressive prosecutors around the country, and in KFA’s and Popok’s backyard, NYC.
