48 - A State Prosecutor's Perspective on Amanda's Case

A special guest joins us to discuss the case against Amanda's brother. Jennifer, an Assistant District Attorney and podcast listener, prosecutes sexual assault cases in her state and has some interesting thoughts on Amanda's experience as a witness, the politics that impacted the case against her brother, and the legal outcome of the case. Amanda, Kyle, and Jennifer have a heartfelt conversation about the impact of the legal process on sexual assault survivors, the innovative support systems available to survivors who report, and the importance of believing survivors. Jennifer also explains how she builds rapport with survivors, prepares them for court, and selects a jury. We laughed and cried our way through this episode, and we hope you find it as meaningful to listen to as we did to record it.
