What you're trying to do in people’s law both inside of the courtroom and outside of the courtroom, with the support and leadership of groups and organizations and families outside of the courtroom is to tell the stories from the point of view of people's history—to tell the stories from the point of view of those who are victimized and who have survived the victimization or, in the case of Fred Hampton and Mark Clark, those did not survive.
Flint Taylor, co-founder of the People's Law Office, joins us to discuss his new book, The Conviction Machine: Prosecutors, Politicians, and Police Violence in Chicago from Haymarket Books.
