A wide-reaching court order could wipe out DUI charges for hundreds if not thousands of criminally charged motorists in the state of Florida. A three-judge panel has recommended suppressing evidence in the 4th Judicial Circuit, which includes Duval, Clay and Nassau counties, but the order could potentially be used statewide to overturn pending and even already resolved DUI cases. We talk to the DUI attorney who brought the original legal challenge about why the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office’s procedures for maintaining breathalyzers did not comply with state regulations, and how the State Attorney’s Office might respond to a potential flood of legal challenges.
Guests:
David Robbins, criminal defense attorney, Epstein & Robbins
Ken Jefferson, retired Jacksonville Sheriff’s Officer and crime analyst
Village people
An effort to preserve a community’s shared history by recording its collective memories is the goal of the MyVillage Project, an AI-driven initiative that aims to leverage the wisdom of local leaders and share it with the younger generation. The project is being honored at this year’s 904 Day Breakfast. The annual event is hosted by LIFT JAX and VyStar to celebrate the success of civic initiatives, including the ongoing efforts to revitalize the historic Eastside community.
Guests:
Ronnie King, founder and CEO, MyVillage Project
Maya Francis, director of community engagement and partnerships, LIFT JAX
New Breed
A reunion of friends at a remote Georgia cabin is the setting for a new locally produced horror film. Once there, they are stalked by a serial killer of sorts, one driven by scent and protected by an unspoken conspiracy of nearby townspeople. We talk to the writer/director about the pull of indie horror and the work of infusing familiar storylines with fresh blood to appeal to a new generation of fans.
Guest: Cobus Gomes, filmmaker, The Breed
