You are listening to the Roberta Glass True Crime Report, putting the true back in true crime.

From New York City, Roberta Glass is now on the record.

Okay, very exciting day, a guilty verdict in the trial of Charlie Edelson for the murder of Dan Markell, the murder for hire trial. I was streaming that this morning, watching closing arguments.

Shout out to the few that made it through the whole thing with me.

But it was very delicious to see Charlie Adelson finally get convicted.

It's been a long time coming for the murder for hire of Dan Markell.

For today's subject, I wanted to talk about Sarah French Russell, who has been nominated for the circuit bench in Connecticut. And people always ask me,

when I talk about innocence fraud, why are there so many people who want to see criminals out

of prison? And what is their worldview?

What are they trying to achieve?

And this nominee, Ms. Russell, certainly represents that viewpoint of a very far-left ideological viewpoint that these criminals in prison are victims.

So just to give you a little bit of her background, she's a teacher, obviously a lawyer, Yale educated, and she's worked on these

horrible juvenile sentencing reductions, which don't sound bad, which I think is why they're so

popular on either side of the aisle. You think, oh, they did this crime as a

juvenile. They go crazy with a brain claim. It's called brain overclaim, where they claim your

brain isn't developed and they don't know what they're doing. Don't try anyone as an adult,

et cetera, et cetera. So she was very much a part of that.

But if you get life as a juvenile, you have done something so awful.

So essentially what these laws are doing, these juvenile resentencing laws,

meaning giving juveniles a path to parole is just hurting victims' families,

making them constantly in fear that their loved ones killer is going to get out of prison

and putting a kind of blanket, they were blanket sentencing.
