20210305 Nicole Sandler Show - Time for Justice (or Just Cake) with Jack Rice

The senate is in the midst of another vote-a-rama today ahead of a vote, sometime this weekend, on the $1.9 trillion covid relief bill. Today on my show, we'll look ahead to Monday, when the murder trial begins for Derek Chauvin, the Minneapolis police officer who knelt on the neck of George Floyd for almost 10 minutes, ultimately killing him. Jack Rice is an old friend and colleague from Air America Radio who is also an attorney. He's been a prosecutor and is currently working as a criminal defense lawyer. Today, he joins me for a preview of the trial that begins on Monday. Jack Rice is always fascinating. Today, he brings the perspective of one who lives just blocks away from where George Floyd was killed. Is Justice possible? We'll discuss... And today's show runs a bit long, as I had to say a few things about the filibuster and the 7 Democrats (plus Angus King) who voted against the $15 minimum wage. Ugh.
