"Aspiring full time anti-racist" is how senior Fairfax public defender lawyer Bryan T. Kennedy describes himself on his Twitter page. In this episode of Beat the Prosecution, Bryan joins Fairfax criminal and DUI defense lawyer Jonathan Katz in discussing how to beat the prosecution both in court and through out-of-court action, action, and more action, including with strength in numbers and having a great team of lawyers and non-lawyers.
Bryan is a founding member of Justice Forward Virginia , which has made huge inroads in bringing Virginia out of its capital punishment dark ages and away from its Jim Crow past, to promoting winning legislation that reduces police ability to racially profile and keeps their power better in check, and eliminates presumption of pretrial detention for certain alleged crimes; and supporting robust indigent defense and challenging mandatory minimum sentencing. I recommend donating to Justice Forward Virginia.
Bryan is a lawyer's lawyer and a public defender's public defender. He underlines how some of the greatest criminal defense lawyers start as public defender lawyers and do not have to leave their principles at the door by starting as a prosecutor instead. He is fully bilingual in English and Spanish, which is a major asset in this county with so many people who speak Spanish (and so many other non-English languages) as a first language.
Bryan is a true believe in the criminal defense cause, and is not afraid to stand up to judges and everyone else in the process. Thanks to Bryan for joining Jon Katz for an hour on this podcast episode.
