Bayou Brief’s Podcast Volume 2: A Conversation About Sexual Assault and Orleans Parish District Attorney

On Tuesday, Kristen Crain and Jesse Manley of the Judicial Reform for Sex Crimes organization and Victoria Coy, a victim’s advocate and rapid responder for the Community Justice Reform Coalition, joined me at my home for a conversation about sexual assault crimes and the role of Orleans Parish District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro’s office in prosecuting those crimes. * You can hear bounce music in the background. There was a neighborhood block party at the park across the street from my home, and for better or worse, it was impossible to scrub the background music. ** Also pictured: My golden retriever, Lucy Anna, who, at some point, decides to bring out a squeaky toy, which you can also hear.
