Pete Murray joined me to discuss his campaign for judge in San Diego County. This was an incredible podcast conversation going nearly 4 hours (a new JRP record!).

The depth and breadth of topics covered is too long to list, but here are some highlights:

Pete Murray’s View on Criminal Justice Challenges

• 900-1000 case back log in San Diego Courts largely due to pandemic-related issues and how the judicial system has to address the backlog while still protecting the accused’s right of a speedy trial.
  
• Increase in property crime, murder, and many other categories compared to pre-pandemic trends.
  
• The aggressive swinging of the pendulum from “tough on crime” to less accountability for criminals.
  
• The importance of good judges to make justice work, and how bad judges can undermine the entire system.
  
• Some of the unscrupulous ways that some DAs will add duplicitous charges as a bargaining chip to get a suspect to plead guilty.

• Expressing the magnificent work and integrity of good police officers, but also holding bad cops accountable for their actions.
