Locked In with Ian Bick

Chase Brown followed his father's footsteps into law went to law school and became a prosecutor at the Suffolk County District Attorney's office. For three years he prosecuted cases dealt with victims and defendants navigated bail issues and a backlogged court system picked juries and offered plea deals that shaped people's lives. Then he left to become a private criminal defense attorney at his father's firm — putting him on the opposite side of everything he had spent three years doing. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Chase shares the complete truth about what the justice system really looks like from the inside — the cases he will never forget the problems with bail the issues with the jury system the backlog destroying the courts and what working as both a prosecutor and a defense attorney actually revealed about the system he operates in every single day.

Kent McGowen grew up in Texas in a good family with a father in the oil business and a brother who became a cop — served honorably in the United States Air Force became a Houston police officer and eventually became a sheriff's deputy in Harris County. In August 1992 while executing a felony warrant as part of a larger weapons operation the situation escalated when the woman he was there to arrest pulled a gun on him. He warned her repeatedly to drop the weapon before firing in what he says was an act of self defense. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he shares how the DA's office pursued him even after internal affairs cleared the shooting, what two separate trials and two separate convictions looked like from the inside, how the judge sentenced him to 20 years in the Texas prison system, what surviving as a former cop inside Texas's most brutal prisons actually required of him, and why he believes the corruption that sent him there runs far deeper than anyone in that system ever wanted to admit.

Davione Warren grew up in New Jersey without his father in the picture. His mother worked hard to give him and his siblings a better life — but the streets pulled him in young. Gang life juvenile detention and drug dealing became all he knew. He wanted to use street life to fund a future in music — but instead he did state time in his late teens and caught a federal case in his early 20s that resulted in 84 months in federal prison. When he finally got out a shooting almost took his life — and that moment became the most eye opening and most life changing experience of everything he had been through.
