Listen now | Steven Donziger joined us for an exclusive interview this week, describing his experiences in prison for the crime of exposing Chevron’s environmental destruction. He was just released last week to serve the rest of his sentence at home. Steven still isn’t free, but as we discuss in this episode, there’s hope that his supporters can turn the tide — in his case and beyond. Advocacy from leftist groups and organizations, coverage from independent media, and outreach from everyday people contributed to a shift in public perception of his case. In turn, this shift changed the way that Steven’s case was treated in prison, he says.
Yes, AOC talks about the corrupt stock trading. I would like to see her or other politicians against this actually write and introduce a bill to stop the practice. Until then, talk is cheap.
What a spectacularly moving episode. Thank you for this content. So what exactly was the technicality that they prosecuted him for? He was supposed to turn over his cell phone and laptop as evidence but refused to?
I was trying to explain the situation to a friend and co-worker, who wouldn't believe me that the courts could be so unjust... saying "there must be more to the story..." and I'd like to give him a complete answer
This was virtue signaling advocacy "journalism". Amazing how little the hosts know about this case. Have they read "Law of the Jungle", the case transcripts, or any of the historical articles from major publications? To act as though they have discovered this case and wonder why mainstream media isn't taking up the banner just shows their superficial
investigation into the facts. He was disbarred for good reason. The lack of any mitigation of remaining contamination is a tragedy and largely a result of Steves own unethical behavior.
