Description

Today, Hunter is once again joined by Devin Franklin from the Southern Center for Human Rights to discuss the latest violation of civil liberties in the state of Georgia. Today, they are discussing the recent indictment levied against 61 cop city protesters. As you read over the 100+ page indictment, you will find one consistent theme: the Attorney General of Georgia is doing everything in his power to cage as many people as possible who would dare challenge the power, plans, and policy of the state of Georgia.   Guests: Devin Franklin, Movement Policy Counsel, Southern Center for Human Rights   Resources: Cop City Indictment https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/GAOAG/2023/09/05/file_attachments/2604508/23SC189192%20-%20CRIMINAL%20INDICTMENT.pdf Coverage on the Indictment https://atlpresscollective.com/2023/09/05/georgia-attorney-general-brings-rico-indictments-against-61-activists/ YSL Indictment https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/young-slime-life-indictment.pdf Intercept Coverage of the Murder of Tortugita https://theintercept.com/2023/04/20/atlanta-cop-city-protester-autopsy/ https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/crime/tortuguita-shooting-atlanta-cop-city-b2324547.html Southern Center for Human Rights https://www.schr.org/ https://twitter.com/southerncenter https://www.schr.org/protecting-dissent-schr-launches-first-amendment-lawyer-bridge/ Stop Cop City https://stopcop.city/   Follow Devin on Twitter https://twitter.com/BrotherInLawATL   Contact Hunter Parnell:                                 Publicdefenseless@gmail.com  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patron www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast  Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN

Anyone paying attention can tell you that our criminal legal system is perpetuating cruelty and harm, but the complexity of the legal world overwhelms most people simply trying to get through another day. Public Defenseless explores the rot in the justice system and what we can do about it. Join host, Hunter Parnell, as he interviews top defense attorneys and criminal justice stakeholders from across the country as they pull apart the convoluted web of our criminal justice system. Like so many of you, Hunter is not an attorney, simply tired of a news cycle and talking heads that offer no real solutions to the ever-growing list of problems we face. Hunter hopes that with this information, you will share his belief that ordinary people still can make a difference.
