Episode artwork for ANG Special Edition: Organized, Relentless, and Ruthless – When Public Defenders Hold Power Accountable

In this special edition episode, we hear from Colin, a public defender in Snohomish County, who decided enough was enough. After watching a sheriff abuse his power and betray his community's trust, Colin didn't just complain — he organized.

He formed a committee, rallied other lawyers, and launched a recall effort to hold an elected official accountable. It's a behind-the-scenes look at how defense attorneys can be more than just courtroom warriors — they can be catalysts for systemic change.

Shout out to Colin and the other lawyers who prove that when public defenders get organized, even sheriffs can't hide from accountability.
