Devils Bargain | BONUS | Season 2

About this episode

Colin Reingold discusses the difficult choices faced by defendants in the criminal justice system regarding plea deals and trials.

Former Louisiana public defender Colin Reingold unpacks the impossible decisions people face when charged with a crime: take a plea deal or risk a life sentence at trial. Sometimes, the choice a public defender helps their client make doesn’t feel like a choice at all.  You can reach out to the Burden of Guilt team at Burdenofguiltpod@gmail.com.  For more Burden of Guilt, follow us on Instagram @glasspodcasts.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
