Mo' Money, Mo' Problems: Do Settlements Equal Justice? w/Representative Ted James

Coming off of an eventful Valentine’s Day weekend, we are getting down to the business of the money whether it’s who's handling Britney Spears’ estate; Virginia’s decision to abolish the death penalty due in part to the high cost of state executions; how Kevin Hart got got for over $1 million; Halle Berry’s steeeeeep child support payments; or the measly $4.5 million being offered to the family of murdered Louisiana entrepreneur, Alton Sterling - we’ve got some insight for you. We also dive a bit deeper into the case of Alton Sterling with Louisiana State Representative and Eboni’s longtime friend, Ted James. Mr. James lends his expertise and insight as a political leader into the pros and cons of settlements in criminal cases. He also walks us through his life-threatening battle with COVID-19 and his thoughts on vaccination.

For every nine people executed, one person on death row has been exonerated. Learn more at Equal Justice Initiative.
