On today’s Closer Look with Rose Scott, we speak to Marietta-based Attorney David West. He gives a defense attorney’s perspective of Georgia’s RICO laws and explains why they’re so much harder to defend against than murder charges.

Then, Dr. Wilbur Lam, a Pediatric Hematologist and Oncologist at Children’s Healthcare Of Atlanta, discusses how his hospital and other local institutions will lead and accelerate healthcare diagnostic innovations for a variety of high-priority diseases over the next five years.
