Justice Unfiltered welcomes Cobb County Solicitor General Makia Metzger for an eye-opening conversation about what justice really looks like at the misdemeanor level. The first African American and first woman elected to the role, Metzger shares how her journey, her faith, and her legal career shaped a people-first approach to prosecution.

Hosts Tug Cowart and Daniel Matalon of A 2nd Chance Bail Bonds dig into her Youthful Offender Program, which has seen zero recidivism across more than 200 graduates, the office's push to modernize with digital case systems, and why clearing bench warrant backlogs from the 1990s is both a public safety and fiscal priority.

The conversation also tackles the real cost of jailing low-level offenders with mental health needs (roughly $3 million a year in Cobb County), the creation of trauma-informed spaces for domestic violence victims, and why the jury system still works when you let it. Candid, compelling, and full of real-world insight into how one office is rethinking misdemeanor justice from the inside out.
