At 21 years old, Gerard Marrone was shot while protecting his sister—an act that left him paralyzed from the waist down. Doctors told him he’d never walk again. But that moment didn’t break him—it built him.
In this gripping episode, Gerard shares his unbelievable journey from a hospital bed to the courtroom as a high-profile criminal defense attorney. He opens up about the dark days of recovery, the role faith played in his healing, and how a single nurse’s compassion sparked a fire inside him that never went out.
We talk about the day everything changed, the moment he stood for the first time again, and how he went on to build a respected legal career—guided by his unwavering moral compass. Gerard also reveals why he recused himself from a high-profile child murder case—walking away from money, press, and power—because he couldn’t defend something that went against everything he stood for.
We also dive into Italian-American identity, generational trauma, addiction in the justice system, and the choice we all face: to be a victim, or to fight back.
This is one of the most powerful episodes we’ve ever recorded.
