EP 13: Safe Families, Safe Communities - Gates for AG
<p>In the years since the fateful night on November 4, 2022 I have watched a system that was supposed to protect my family fail them at every turn - from DA Wagstaffe's office to Attorney General Bonta himself.</p><p>What happens when the system built to protect victims becomes the second injury?</p><p>I sit down with <a href="https://www.gates4ag.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Michael Gates</a> - attorney, former Huntington Beach City Attorney, and candidate for California Attorney General, to talk about street racing, accountability, prosecutorial failure, and the Marsy's Law rights that too many families never actually receive. We talk about what accountability really looks like, what Marsy's Law is supposed to mean, and what justice should look like when California finally decides that victims' lives matter as much as offenders' second chances. We talk policy. And we talk about what he would do differently for families like mine. This one is personal. It always is.</p>

EP 12: The Revolving Door - Chung for Change
<p><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: transparent;">Career prosecutor and DA candidate </span><a href="https://www.chungforchange.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: transparent;">Daniel Chung</a><span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: transparent;"> joins us to make the case for change in Santa Clara County's justice system. A Bay Area native who spent nearly two decades inside the very office he's running to lead, Daniel breaks down what he calls a "revolving door" for violent and repeat offenders, the years-long delays leaving victims' families without justice, and the policy reforms he'd put in place on Day 1. We also discuss the case that has gripped our community, the deaths of Andrew and Stacia Stuart, the Gilroy parents struck and killed in a crosswalk while dropping their 7-year-old twins off at school - and why, almost four months later, the DA's office has still said nothing publicly about the status of charges. If you live in Santa Clara County and care about who's in that DA seat this June, this one's for you. </span>Visit <a href="https://www.chungforchange.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">chungforchange.com</a> to learn about Daniel’s background and his mission.</p>
