Part 2 of "Drugs on the Docket" podcast on fake stash-house stings now available

6a00d83451574769e202b751a4fdae200c-320wiIn this post from last week, I highlighted that the Drug Enforcement and Policy Center at The Ohio State University had just started releasing episodes from Season Two of the "Drugs on the Docket" podcast.  (All of the first season's episodes are all still available via Apple Podcasts and YouTube.)  As noted in the prior pose, this first episode to kick-off Seanson Two was actually part of a extended discussion that was so chock full of content that it became a two-part series.  And, as detailed on this podcast webpage, today brings the release of the second episode of this new season. which is described this way:

Season 2 Episode 2 – Compassionate release for stash house sting clients with Alison Siegler and Erica Zunkel (Part 2 of 2)

Host Hannah Miller and co-host Douglas Berman, executive director of the Drug Enforcement and Policy Center, continue their conversation with Alison Siegler and Erica Zunkel.  Part 2 covers how the University of Chicago Law School’s Federal Criminal Justice Clinic pushed the boundaries of criminal defense and leveraged the First Step Act to secure compassionate release for stash house sting defendants who were not part of the clinic’s “criminal class action” litigation.

Alison Siegler is Clinical Professor of Law and Founding Director of the Federal Criminal Justice Clinic at the University of Chicago Law School; Erica Zunkel is Clinical Professor of Law at the University of Chicago Law School and teaches in the school’s Criminal and Juvenile Justice Clinic.

As I mentioend before, the many remarkable legal and policy stories that surround the fake stash-house stings continue to amaze me.   I remain extremely grateful to have been part of efforts to capture a small parts of amazing stories via these podcasts.  I once again encourage everyone to have a listen.
