Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Maryland State Police Helicopter
Maryland Governor Larry Hogan proposed a package of tough-on-crime bills that include increasing mandatory minimum sentences for some violent crimes and trying some minors as adults for certain gang-related crime charges. While some Democrats in the General Assembly have rejected the legislation, a bipartisan group in the Senate are seeking a compromise. We discuss the clashing visions for criminal justice in Maryland.
Guests
