Where it all began, the very first ANG episode. As many defenders and their clients know, once something is on the internet, it stays there forever. We are not hiding from the evidence, but we are remastering and cataloging.
Originally Season 1, Episode 1, released June 6, 2018, and edited back when Dave's weapon of choice was GarageBand. Who still uses GarageBand anyway?
Public defender John tells David and Nikhil about a client who called 911 because her partner was abusing her. By the time the officer arrived, the partner was gone and she was sitting in the driver's seat. The state charged her with DUI. The police report somehow forgot to mention her entire account. The prosecutor told the defense he did not need to know what actually happened, because finding the truth was not his job.
The jury needed five to ten minutes to disagree. Not guilty. The court then billed her $1,200 for the privilege of proving it. The very first ANG episode, and the state was already treating the truth like an optional exhibit.
