Show Notes
We take a look at first encounters: with the justice system, with telling someone, and with the law. We’re looking beyond the headlines to the root issues underneath, and we’re exploring the first steps in the process for victims: disclosure and the decision to go to the police.
More from The Defendants
Anuja and Jane break down the Lindsay Clancy case and the unfortunate reality of postpartum healthcare and how we view mothers
Jane and Anuja discuss the downfall of Bill Cosby ("America's Dad") in the eyes of the public, and how a District Attorney seemingly worked to protect him from consequences
Elisha Bonnis tells Jane about her experience seeking justice via the civil litigation system.
The Defendants: Case Files is the next iteration of The Defendants. Our first six episodes explored how the justice system is set up, and why it doesn't work for cases involving sexual violence. We are working on our next six, which will further explore how we can change this system for the better. In the interim, we want to keep the conversation going, and we're doing that with Defendants: Case Files.
