Manage episode 364091158 series 2891341
In this episode,, we tackle a topic that many are curious about, that many do not understand, that many do not agree with, and one that is important to many many people. We welcome a fellow attorney and friend, Brian Goodman, a Senior Trial Attorney with the Office of the Public Defender in Fairfax County. Brian is also president elect of the Virginia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and is a member and leader in various other organizations as well. Brian explains what it is like for nonbinary and transgender folks to be in the criminal justice system and why it is so much harder for them. We learned a lot and look forward to passing this knowledge along to our listeners.
LEGAL DISCLAIMER:
If you are listening to this podcast, thank you! We sincerely hope you are listening to this podcast for its entertainment value and not with the intention of acquiring legal advice for any individual case or situation. I mean, come on! You wouldn’t take advice from someone you have never met or spoken to directly, right? If you were bleeding profusely, you wouldn’t listen to a podcast in hopes of a bandage somehow materializing over the internet and onto your 3D printer. Seeking actual legal advice can be just as important as a tourniquet. The hosts of this podcast are in no way intending to create an attorney-client relationship with any listener. Sorry. We are sure you all are great people but we cannot stress enough how little we know of you and your case and rather than risk an awkward moment, let us just remember we have never met. Nothing on this platform be taken as legal advice for any individual case or situation! We are just a group of friends with differing opinions and viewpoints which we will try to explore through discussions of current events, law changes, and whatever else floats our fancy.
