From the Archives: When The Truth Doesn't Matter

<p>Where it all began, the very first ANG episode. As many defenders and their clients know, once something is on the internet, it stays there forever. We are not hiding from the evidence, but we are remastering and cataloging.</p><p>Originally Season 1, Episode 1, released June 6, 2018, and edited back when Dave's weapon of choice was GarageBand. Who still uses GarageBand anyway?</p><p>Public defender John tells David and Nikhil about a client who called 911 because her partner was abusing her. By the time the officer arrived, the partner was gone and she was sitting in the driver's seat. The state charged her with DUI. The police report somehow forgot to mention her entire account. The prosecutor told the defense he did not need to know what actually happened, because finding the truth was not his job.</p><p>The jury needed five to ten minutes to disagree. Not guilty. The court then billed her $1,200 for the privilege of proving it. The very first ANG episode, and the state was already treating the truth like an optional exhibit.</p><p><b><strong>Dive into more stories from the bold and brilliant public defenders wherever you listen to podcasts, and connect with us on social media:</strong></b></p><p><b><strong>Stay Connected &amp; Support the Show:</strong></b></p><p>·      <b><strong>Website:</strong></b> <a href="http://anothernotguiltypod.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank"><b><strong>anothernotguiltypod.com</strong></b></a> <a href="https://www.anothernotguiltypod.com/listen/the-mooch-is-in-the-details?utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank"><b><strong>Another Not Guilty</strong></b></a></p><p>·       <b><strong>Follow us on Instagram:</strong></b> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/anothernotguilty/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><b><strong>@anothernotguilty</strong></b></a></p><p>·       <b><strong>Find us on Facebook:</strong></b> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AnotherNotGuilty/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><b><strong>Another Not Guilty</strong></b></a></p><p>·       <b><strong>Support the show (potential bonus content!):</strong></b> <a href="https://www.patreon.com/anothernotguilty?utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><b><strong>Patreon</strong></b></a></p>
