  • Summary

  • In this powerful episode, we tackle two major stories shaping the criminal justice landscape. First, we turn to a tragic case from Houston, where a man was sentenced to 45 years in prison for the murder of his girlfriend and the shooting of her daughter. On January 23, 2023, a domestic argument ended in horrific violence, and we examine the perpetrator’s dark history, the legal proceedings, and what this case reveals about the justice system’s approach to domestic violence.

    Then, we dive into New Hampshire’s newly signed bail reform law, a pivotal piece of legislation six years in the making. With changes aimed at tightening the state’s bail system, especially for violent crimes, we explore the creation of a new magistrate system designed to expedite arraignments, even on weekends and holidays. We’ll also discuss the bipartisan support for the law and the concerns raised by defense lawyers about the potential impact on defendants' rights.

    Join us as we unpack the complexities and implications of these two significant developments in the world of criminal justice.
