I was skeptical about an academic running for this position, no disrespect to academics intended, but left the interview much more interested in his candidacy.
I liked Him, he seems to have balance and focus. I thought that Mary was correct in the idea that our system needs reform but that maybe she lacked either the skills or proper knowledge to make it happen. I thought the brain science was fascinating the last time someone was on discussing it and that it has promise. Shen seems to have some definite ideas on how to implement them along with the reality of how successful it may or may not be.
I think the time between crime and conviction needs a lot of work. Perhaps having some of these newer systems and even investigatos could be shared with the smaller out state communities. Cooperation and shared goals with some state funding when needed. With the state wanting less history involved in hiring it would be interesting to see if a model can be achieved with a balance of knowledge when necessary or if it just becomes less of an issue. I loom forward to maybe hearing more on the topic.

Thanks for listening!
These interviews are a terrific service, as well as good content.
he sounds great to get into government. but not as the chief prosecutor of the county. he has zero prosecutorial experience.
I like his thoughts on addiction for example but that does not offset the fact he has never been a prosecutor.
