S1EP12: Beyond Guilt, with Steve Zeidman, Co-Director of the Second Look Project

Steve Zeidman is a criminal defense hero who has spent his entire career fighting for people with nowhere else to turn. In this episode, Steve walks us through some of his most compelling efforts to gain freedom for people who would otherwise spend their lives in prison. Steve's zealous advocacy for second chances will leave you inspired by his work and horrified by a criminal legal system that seems to prioritize finality over humanity and justice.   For more about Steve Zeidman: To learn more about the Second Look Project: Beyond Guilt: https://www.law.cuny.edu/secondlookproject/about-us/ To read Professor Zeidman's most recent op-ed in the New Yotk Times: Giving Prisoners A Second Chance, https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/25/opinion/prisoners-second-chance.html To find out more about his work at the Prisoner's Legal Services: https://plsny.org/team/prof-steven-zeidman/   For more about Jessica Henry: Website: http://jessicahenryjustice.com/  TEDx talk No-Crime Wrongful Convictions here.
