Episode 35 - Is the criminal justice system made for the wealthy?

On this episode of Vital Questions, Che Guerrero and La Co-Host sit down with Millie, a career public defender in Queens and Manhattan, to ask a difficult but necessary question: Is the criminal justice system made for the wealthy?We begin with the recent release of millions of additional Epstein files — and the outrage over redactions, prosecutorial discretion, and the lack of accountability for powerful figures. While poor and undocumented communities are aggressively policed, detained, and deported, many wealthy individuals tied to financial crimes and abuse scandals seem insulated from consequences.If justice depends on your bank account, is it really justice?This episode connects the dots between wealth, power, prosecution priorities, and who actually faces consequences in America.🔗 Follow & support Che Guerrero:• Website / hub: https://www.cheguerrero.com/• Linktree (all platforms): https://linktr.ee/Cheguerrero• TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cheguerreroeng• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cheguerreroeng/• Substack: https://substack.com/@cheguerreroeng• YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CheGuerreroeng#VitalQuestions #CriminalJustice #EpsteinFiles #PublicDefender #WhiteCollarCrime #MassIncarceration #CourtReform #ImmigrationJustice #CheGuerrero
