What happens when the actual victim of a crime gets arrested and prosecuted?
In this episode, Los Angeles Public Defender Felipe Gonzalez shares the story of his client, a man falsely accused and staring down an eight-count indictment that carried a possible 45-year sentence. It all came down to one witness: his client.
With fearless advocacy, Felipe ran an all-or-nothing defense, putting his client on the stand to tell the truth. And the jury believed him. The result? Not guilty across the board.
This one's about risk, strategy, and the defender's role as the ultimate shield against injustice.
