The GOP Takes On Jury Nullification, JLG’s Housing Promise, and Name That Red Panda
On today's episode, we get into the House Republicans who, on the heels of the Trayon White mistrial, allege that two D.C. activist groups are advocating for the practice of jury nullification. We’re also talking about presumptive-mayor Janeese Lewis George's affordable housing promises. And the zoo asks for the public’s help… in naming their red panda cub.
Plus, in a member’s only fourth segment, you might have heard of the guy who got his Balenciaga shoes stolen in Chinatown this week. We’ll dig into D.C.’s spike in youth crime, and how the city is responding. I’m joined by my City Cast colleagues Jaclyn Peiser and Emma Uber.
