The Fight Against Boston's Legal System

A man with a prior record faces five more years. His past is used against him at every turn. This episode examines how the system compounds disadvantage — and how to fight back.

About This Episode

For a man with a criminal past, the deck is stacked before the first hearing. Prior record, enhanced charges, a system inclined to assume the worst. This episode follows one client's fight against a five-year sentence in Dorchester — and examines how Attorney White builds a defense when the prosecution uses a client's history as their primary weapon. A story about second chances, constitutional rights, and what it takes to win when everything is working against you.
