Louisiana law says the state owes compensation to people it wrongfully convicted. So why does Attorney General Liz Murrill keep fighting to deny it, even in cases with DNA evidence, and even when judges have personally apologized to defendants while overturning their convictions?

In our latest episode, investigative journalist Richard Webster (Verite News / ProPublica Local Reporting Network) breaks down the cases, the tactics, and the reported threats against exonerees who speak out.

Do community-based solutions for teen gatherings actually work? ๐Ÿค”

DC Councilmember Zachary Parker thinks so โ€” and he's got the results to back it up. In this episode, he talks about partnering with DC's Parks and Rec department to give young people real, local alternatives instead of just cracking down with curfews. Thousands of kids reached. Gatherings slowing down. And a very different approach than most cities are taking right now.

We also hear what happens when you actually ask young people what they think is driving the problem โ€” and their answer might surprise you.
