What The Breonna Taylor Settlement Reforms Mean

In the police reform debate, the question of holding officers accountable is a key issue. But the way things are, prosecutors often work on cases in conjunction with the police, creating a potential conflict of interest. On Today's Show: Emily Bazelon , staff writer for The New York Times Magazine , co-host of Slate's Political Gabfest podcast, Truman Capote Fellow for creative writing and law at Yale Law School and author of Charged: The New Movement to Transform American Prosecution and End Mass Incarceration (Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2020), and Elie Mystal , justice correspondent for The Nation, talk about why so few district attorneys choose to prosecute police officers who some say have very clearly committed unlawful acts.
