Show notes: Imagine if Lucy had worked in Hereford Texas? https://law.justia.com/cases/texas/court-of-criminal-appeals/2003/2053-01-5.html https://www.courtlistener.com/opinion/2925048/jeanine-hannah-v-state/ Context: Texas has a higher percentage of residents with criminal records (32%) compared to the UK’s total population (18.6%).
