304 | One Step Forward and Two Steps Back Mississippi Public Defense w/Andre de Gruy

Today, Hunter is joined once again by Andre de Gruy, Chief Public Defender of Mississippi. The last time Andre was on the show, he and Hunter discussed some positive changes he was hoping to get out of the 2024 legislative session. While not everything from the last episode came to pass, Andre believes Mississippi public defense is ever so slowly improving.   Guests: Andre de Gruy, State Public Defender, Mississippi   Resources: OSPD Website https://www.ospd.ms.gov/ Marshall Project Mississippi https://www.themarshallproject.org/2024/05/02/mississippi-public-defense-legislative-reforms https://www.themarshallproject.org/2023/09/18/mississippi-courts-lawyers-poor-defendants https://www.themarshallproject.org/2024/01/24/arrested-hinds-county-mississippi-jackson-courts   Contact Hunter Parnell:                                 [email protected]  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patron www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast  Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN Trying to find a specific part of an episode?
