Last night the US Supreme Court published a pretty big decision. The court gave judges more discretion in sentencing really young offenders to life without parole. Today, we’re digging into what this decision means for Michigan and for "juvenile lifers" who are waiting for resentencing. 

GUESTS:

Deborah Labelle, Washington correspondent for the Detroit News

Efren Paredes, Advocate for juvenile offenders.

Titus Kaphar on the Meaning of the Missing

When changes to auto-no fault insurance in Michigan passed in 2019, lawmakers hailed it as a bipartisan win. But for many catastrophically injured survivors of auto accidents, it meant losing the care they’ve depended on for years. On this episode, we hear about the attempts to increase the caps on in-home nursing care for catastrophically injured crash survivors--and why proposed reforms are stalling.

GUEST: 

Tracy Samilton, energy and transportation reporter for Michigan Public
