Summary

Bonus extended interview: https://www.patreon.com/posts/15197523 I talk to Marc Fliedner, who is running as a write-in candidate against Cy Vance the (up until now)unopposed candidate for Manhattan DA. Marc had already run for Brooklyn DA but when it was revealed that Vance had declined to prosecute Harvey Weinstein and had accepted money from Weinstein's lawyer, Fiedner decided to jump into the race. I talk to Marc about what and who convinced him to run, his historic conviction of NYPD officer Peter Liang in the killing of Akai Gurley, and what he would do as DA.
