Episode notes

Dominic died on march 20 ninth, 20 21. A suspect, also 21, was arrested and charged with first degree murder a couple weeks after the shooting. Nakisha couldn't help but wonder, would a more conventional prosecutor have made a difference. Maybe larry krasner was to lax on gun cases. I'm speaking for a lot of minorities who have been victimized to the justice system as well. So esit fom me is is a multi dimensional quest of knowledge before our vote.

America's homicide rate rose by almost 30 percent in 2020. It was the biggest spike in 60 years, and the murder rate was even higher in 2021. In this repodcast, ProPublica’s Alec MacGillis explains what might be causing “The Great Regression."

Today’s show was reported and produced by Miles Bryan, Jillian Weinberger, and Alec MacGillis, with editing help from Matt Collette, engineered by Efim Shapiro, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
