The Importance of Expungement!
In this episode, co-host Chris Kleiser sits down with Knoxville criminal defense attorney Jamie Hughes and the Director of the University of Tennessee's Legal Clinic, Joy Radice to talk about Tennessee's juvenile record expungement statute and the importance of making sure you expunge your clients records when possible. A while back, Chris received a phone call from Jamie saying the NEVER ADJUDICATED, outright dismissed cases of one of her clients was being used to send a kid off to Federal Prison FOR LIFE and well, you'll just have to listen to find out what happened. This is the final episode we recorded before we lost our sound engineer at ETPTV and without funding, we were unable to continue to record there....hint hint. If you like our podcast, you could send an email to ETPTV to let them know. Donations work too.We continue to be forever grateful to Angela Vigil and the Gault Center for giving us permission to use her amazing song, Defender. And special thanks to VOLUNTEER sound engineer Raiden Rogers, who heard about our dilemma and is graciously volunteering his time and skills to help us get these episodes out.
