Show Notes
We continue our Best of 2022 episodes with an episode from the 70 Million podcast, a documentary podcast about criminal justice reform from LWC Studios.
Grand juries are supposed to safeguard against the government charging people with a crime when it lacks sufficient evidence. But because prosecutors control what happens in grand jury proceedings, they almost always get an indictment. That is, unless the accused is a police officer. Reporter Mark Betancourt explores a case of police brutality in Dallas that evaporated after going before a grand jury.
