Jaws of Justice Radio
It is the intention of Jaws of Justice Radio to investigate how to achieve justice in America, this includes issues of economic injustice, political injustice and the criminal justice system. We want to put a human face on those caught in the grasp of injustice and those that are part of an unjust system. We strive to dispel the misconceptions created by the news and entertainment industry, politicians and our educational system.
Jaws of Justice Radio replays two of our most informative interviews about the pitfalls of our credit economic system just in time for the holiday shopping season.

All I Want Is A Pay Day Loan For Christmas
Host Robin Martinez speaks with local Attorney Dale Irwin who gives us the low down on the Pay Day Loan industry in Missouri. He tells the history, the legal battle to get around Missouri’s Usury laws and the subsequent political pressure (campaign money) that made our state one of the friendliest in the nation for this industry.
Dale explains how borrowers are sucked in, how they are hooked into a debt they can never pay off, how they typically try to get out and fail. Activists have attempted to put a cap on interest rates on the ballot but eventually failed at the polls. Why did they fail and what needs to happen now? Listen in and find out .
