Three former lawyers and ex-convicts share insights gleaned from their unique paths from the legal bar to prison bars.
The episode features Andrew McKenna, Domenick Crispino, and Richard Luthmann, each bringing a distinct perspective shaped by their personal journeys through the legal system and its aftermath.
Topics discussed include the Hunter Biden Indictment, Felon Voting Rights, the Trump Cases, and Prison Violence in the wake of the attacks on high-profile prisoners like Derrick Chauvin and Larry Nasser.
Andrew McKenna: From Federal Prosecutor to Prisoner
Andrew McKenna, now serving as the Deputy Director of the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence in Westchester, offers an insightful view into his transformation.
McKenna's story, detailed in his book "Sheer Madness: From Federal Prosecutor to Federal Prisoner," is a riveting tale of downfall and redemption. His insights are particularly relevant in light of the current opioid crisis, as highlighted in a recent CNN report on overdose deaths reaching record highs due to fentanyl. McKenna's story of recovery and advocacy is further amplified through his active presence on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Domenick Crispino: Legal Expert with a Twist
Domenick Crispino, an ex-attorney and ex-convict, brings a unique legal perspective to the panel.
His most recent conviction, which was vacated, adds layers to his commentary, offering an inside look at the legal system's intricacies and the challenging road to vindication.
Interestingly, Crispino and Luthmann share the same court-appointed legal advisor, Jonathan Fink. The exploits may become the topic of a future Morano segment.
