Event Description:
We plan for this fortnightly show to have people talk about how Harris County should help down-and-out people caught up in the criminal system. As it is, judges appoint defense attorneys, with next to no money provided for them. Meanwhile, the prosecution has large staff and other resources. We'll explore the ins and outs of the way things are, and make the case for a better way of administering justice.
