About this episode
Oregon’s public defense system relies on court experts to weigh in on cases: people like private investigators and forensic accountants. But a group of local private investigators says they’ve been chronically underpaid, and they’re not taking on certain cases until they get a raise . Today on City Cast Portland, lead producer John Notarianni is talking with Dawn Krantz-Watts, a private investigator based in the Portland area. She’ll tell us why she’s drawing a line in the sand and what it means for our legal system. Who would you like to hear on City Cast Portland?
