Public Defenseless

Today, Hunter was joined once again by Jane Fox and for the first time Alexi Shalom. These two have been working tirelessly to develop programs that can help members of their union deal with crushing student debt. Today, these two join to explain those programs and what else Public Defender leaders can do to help their people with student debt.

**** ALL OPINONS SHARED BY HOST HUNTER PARNELL DO NOT REFLECT THE THOUGHTS OR OPINIONS OF THE AURORA MUNICIPAL PUBLIC DEFENDER****

Today, Hunter was joined once again by Dan Hinkel. Dan is an investigative journalist with Injustice Watch, and today, he joined the show to talk about the third instalment of his series called "Denying Innocence." This series details how the new Cook County State Attorney, Eileen O'Neil Burke has changed how her office handles wrongful convictions. This episode is about how Burke's office is now fighting to keep exonerated people from getting certificates to show their innocence.
