What does it mean to die in police custody, and how are coroners implicated in shaping accountability and uplifting systems of power? This episode, Brittany sits down to chat with Terence Keel, author of “The Coroner’s Silence,” unpacking how written onto the bodies of the vulnerable is a hidden system of silence that perpetuates state violence.
