#5 - Kelvin Richards- Work as Public Defender, Police profiling, Justice system bias and much more
My guest for EP. 5 was NYC Public Defender Kelvin Richards.
Kelvin spoke to me about his path to the US having grown up in Liberia during a time of civil war and his time spent in refugee camps.
He told me about how his experiences in NYC shaped his decision to become a public defender, the work of a public defender, the ins and outs of criminal justice system, bail reform in NY and the ethical question of representing someone of bad character or apparent guilt.
We discussed the sometimes gray line between what Police can and can't do when questioning, arresting and interrogating members of the public, the negative effects of NYC's old "stop and frisk" policy, the use of police profiling including Kelvin's own experiences with being profiled and the balance to be struck between needing police and holding them accountable when power is abused.
I also asked Kevin about bias in the justice system, what Kelvin would change about prison if he could, the prohibition on drugs, some of the causes behind trends in crime, Kelvin's run for city council and much more.
