The Brian Lehrer Show | Aug 27, 2015

Attorney Brian Stevenson is founder of the Equal Justice Initiative, dedicated to defending the poor and wrongly condemned. He talks about his personal transformation while defending a man who had been sentenced to death for a murder he didn’t commit. Plus: WNYC's Anna Sale brings stories of recovery and rebuilding from New Orleans; a New Jersey judge calls the state's $225 million settlement with Exxon Mobil "fair;" a call-in for teachers who stick with it; and a call-in for NYC transplants from other countries.
