113: A Broken Legal System, A Lack of Health Care, and How the US Keeps Puerto Rico Under its Thumb w/Diego Alcala

Today, Hunter spoke with Diego Alcala, a criminal defense attorney in Puerto Rico, to better understand the challenges the island faces in the criminal legal system. From years of experience as a criminal defense attorney in Puerto Rico and other parts of the United States, Diego cuts through the complicated legal layers to get at a core issue plaguing Puerto Rico: For more than a century, the island has been subjected to the whims of the United States, and the lack of self-determination, access to health care, and continued imposition of the United States' will serves as a severe determent to the flourishing of Puerto Ricans.   Guest: Diego Alcala, Criminal Defense Attorney, Puerto Rico   Resources: Follow Diego on Twitter https://twitter.com/DiegoAlcalaPR Connect with Diego on Linked In https://pr.linkedin.com/in/diegoalcala See Diego's Work on his website www.Abolicinonista.com Learn More About Puerto Rico and the Insular Cases https://www.fivefourpod.com/episodes/united-states-v-vaello-madero/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9wyx_dqzAg https://shows.acast.com/fivefourpod/episodes/the-insular-cases-teaser         Contact Hunter Parnell: [email protected]  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com
