Snap Judgment: Jen Angel

from The California Report Magazine · host KQED

Three years ago this week, Oakland bakery owner Jen Angel lost her life when a “smash and grab” robbery went horribly wrong. Ishmael Jenkins Burch, then 19, was driving the getaway car and was initially charged with murder. We bring you an excerpt from an episode of the Snap Judgment podcast, which explores what happens when Angel’s community pushes for restorative justice instead of retribution, something they say Angel would have wanted for the accused.
