  • Thoughts on Rex H episode

    JSM is very informative and that’s why I listen. I understand his partner is a good friend and has a different POV, he does bring good info for sure. But today’s episode really rubbed me wrong. His partner said the death penalty cases should be public for shame and scaring people. I think court needs to be public so we can have checks and balances and make sure punishment is appropriate.
