Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Since 2001, thirteen convicted criminals have been exonerated by DNA in Dallas County, Texas — more than any other county in the country. But last November, voters elected a career defense attorney to be the county’s top prosecutor. District Attorney Craig Watkins has since garnered headlines by opening his office’s files to public scrutiny. He joins Kojo to discuss reform in the criminal justice system.
Guests
- Craig Watkins District Attorney, Dallas County, Texas
- Joshua Marquis District Attorney, Clatsop County, Oregon; Vice President, National District Attorneys Association (NDAA)
