| 0:12.8 | I am simply a mouthpiece for good people from around the world who want to make a difference. |
| 0:30.9 | The engagement and the involvement of ordinary people is what is going to change our criminal justice system. |

| 0:51.0 | Hello everybody and welcome back to Truth and Justice. In last week's episode we learned how the |

| 2:15.2 | with tomorrow. We briefly mentioned the fact that one of the witnesses in the robberies said that |
