"Innocent Until Proven Guilty? Myth." — Conversation w/ Olayemi Olurin
Added 2023-11-16 22:45:31 +0000 UTCI sat down to talk with movement lawyer and public defender Olayemi Olurin (@olurinatti) about the biggest misconceptions that media consumers have about the legal system.
We talked about Supreme Court cases that have whittled away rights, how judges and prosecutors are on the same team, and how the legal process is part of the state's punishment.

Love this deep dive and Olay always a good listen. I loved how h’all got into kids TV shows and movies. Have you seen “Wendell and Wild?” It did the thing where it’s critical of prisons, but not the cops that do the arresting. It seems that there’s still a disconnect from cops >> prosecutors >> judges >>prisons.

I am one of those who have no first-hand experience with the system and even though I watch little to no TV, I have internalized things like the adversarial system is in the pursuit of truth, and it is very useful for me to hear from people who actually deal with the system. This collaboration was a great idea, thank you!
