Exploring Forgiveness and Proportionality in the Criminal Justice System

Is the criminal justice system in the US broken? If so, what would it take to fix it? Are there parts of the justice system that are actually unjust? Join Scott and Sean as they discuss these questions and more with attorney Matthew Martens around his new book Reforming Criminal Justice: A Christian Proposal.

Matthew Martens is a long time attorney, has seen both sides of the criminal justice system.  He has worked both as a federal prosecutor (9 years) and as a criminal defense attorney (12 years).  He also has a MA in Biblical Studies from Dallas Theological Seminary.
