About the Show

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.

On November 21st, this episode of Jaws of Justice is hosted by Elyse Max and covers the currency clemency campaign for Kevin Johnson. Johnson is scheduled to be executed in Missouri on November 29th. Elyse will speak with Michelle Smith of Missourians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty, Dr. Pam Stanfield, Kevin’s former teacher, and friend, and Robert Riske, of the Philly CHU who is representing Kevin. To learn more about Kevin or to get involved with death penalty abolition in Missouri visit www.madpmo.org.

We’ll play the calendar at the midpoint of our hour.

On Jaws of Justice, we examine how to find justice in our society.  Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.
