Can New Leadership Bring Justice To A Corrupt Criminal Justice System?

The State's Attorrney is the one who presents the case against the person accused of a crime. Across the country, corrupt police have joined with corrupt attorneys and corrupt judges to railroad innocent people into prison and feed a system that creates jobs for some while providing slave labor for big business. Can honest leadership weed out corruption throughout the system? Today's guest, Attorney Donna More, candidate for Cook County States Attorney, explains what motivated her to run. Later we'll be joined by Shawn Whirl, tortured by police into making a false confession for a murder he did not commit and forced to spend 25 years in prison, until he was recently released as a result of efforts by The Innocence Project, attorneys and law students working to free thosewrongfully convicted of crimes. He'll share his story of resilience and the challenges of re-entering society.
