Summary

Jerry Buting has worked for more than 35 years as a criminal lawyer working exclusively on the defence of serious criminal cases. In 2016, his appearance in the Netflix hit series Making a Murderer, turned him into a household name as he acted in the defence of Steven Avery alongside his colleague Dean Strang. This is Jerry's third conversation with Jarlath on the Irishman Abroad Podcast Network and it certainly does not disappoint. Jerry speaks about how COVID 19 is taking a tighter grip on the state of Wisconsin in which he lives, before delving into a review of what Trump has/hasn't done for the criminal justice system in America and he also gives an honest account of the pressures of working in an overloaded system. From the importance of educating the public in how politicians use the fear of crime to get elected to a bombshell revelation surrounding Steven Avery, Brendan Dassey and the Making a Murder series, why crime labs are so reluctant to carry out blind testing and much more, this is a truly fascinating conversation on what what will be a vital week in American history. This is just a taster.
