Overview of Hood Politics and Rico Charges

In this podcast episode, the host delves into the convergence of hood politics and the Rico charge, using the example of Trump's case in Georgia. The host highlights the irony that the law used by Rudy Giuliani to take down the New York mob is now being utilized in Trump's legal situation. The host explains that Rico, which stands for Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, was enacted in 1970 to prosecute organized crime. Rico allows the prosecution to tie together various criminal acts into one charge, making it a powerful tool to dismantle criminal organizations. The host emphasizes the fear and severity associated with Rico charges, as everyone involved is considered guilty of all the crimes associated with the organization.
