Hi and welcome to episode 15 of Undisclosed, The State v. Joey Watkins.

My name is Robbie Achawdry. I'm an attorney and a fellow at the U.S. Institute of Peace, and as always, I'm joining with my colleagues, Susan Simpson and Colin Miller.

I'm Susan Simpson. I'm an attorney with the Volkov Law Group, and I blog at viewfumel2.com.

I'm Colin Miller. I'm an associate dean and professor at the University of South Carolina School of Law, and I blog at evidence prof blog.
