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.
Having worked as a criminal defense attorney for 40 years, Carl Bussey is a fixture in the courtrooms of Kansas City. Energetic, friendly, and frequently seen juggling dockets and phone calls – all while working magic for his clients – a casual observer may never come to understand the truly remarkable story that is Carl Bussey. From being the son of the first Black deputy sheriff and later first Black mayor of Little Rock, Arkansas, to taking the law school entrance exam while stationed as an MP in Panama, Carl’s life experiences have produced some remarkable stories as well as some very timely observations about the criminal justice system today. We hope you can join us.
