Today in Focus, the Guardian’s flagship daily news podcast, has launched a new four-part mini series covering the office of progressive Black district attorney Jason Williams on the heels of his election win in New Orleans in 2020. Recorded over a period of six months, the series follows the work of a new civil rights division in his office, tasked with re-examining past harms in the criminal legal system of America’s most incarcerated state.
Launched on Friday 6 May and concluding today (Monday 9 May), The Division - New Orleans, is the latest offering from the Guardian’s award-winning Today in Focus podcast. The series follows several cases, including a previously unreported story of Kuantay Reeder who, for 28 years, has claimed he was wrongfully convicted of murder.
