Pornstacchio, "I've Got No Facts To Hold Him Down" – Two Trials, Two Not Guiltys
Two trials. Two not guilty verdicts. Two San Francisco public defenders showing the state how it's done.
In this episode, Public Defender Ilona takes us inside a case where her client was the victim of police brutality. Ilona not only defended her client but also testified as a witness — putting herself on the stand and surviving cross-examination from a prosecutor rocking a mustache so ridiculous it deserved its own sidebar.
From police lies to mustache theatrics, this one has it all: vindication, advocacy, and the sweet sound of not guilty … twice.
