In this one, Dallas and Rachel — our Cincinnati PD hosts — sit down with defense attorney Stephenie Lape to hear the story of a trial that proves just how ridiculous the government can be.

Stephenie's client faced charges that spun everyday frustrations into a criminal case, but with sharp advocacy and steady defense, she walked her client out the front door with a not guilty.

Because sometimes the state wants to criminalize what should just be common sense — and that's where defenders step in to keep the system in check.
