It is so sad to see how corrupt the justice system can be. Thanks for the hard work that you have put into this podcast.

Keep it up! I do find it sad because as usual women are being told how to deliver their message. Men can be loud, crass and crude and that’s just being honest, telling it like it is and being spirited.
