Radley Balko's podcast examines overbroad criminal laws and prosecutorial misconduct in the US justice system
A brief overview of journalist Radley Balko's podcast "The criminalization of nearly everything," which discusses how overbroad and vague state and federal laws overwhelm the constitutional principle of "presumed innocent until proven guilty." The piece also touches on agencies and organizations prosecuting without sufficient protections against bias and misconduct. The content is very short and fragmented, appearing to be a truncated blurb rather than a full article.
