Part two of the ongoing Antigravity Magazine series Looking for Justice at Tulane and Broad, features Staff Attorney Brian Woods discussing his motivation to be a public defender, the habitual offender law and the recent passage of Amendment 2 which ended non unanimous juries across Louisiana.
"I wanted to do my part. I wanted to be a voice for the poor people of New Orleans. I wanted to let them know they had a zealous advocate even if they didn’t have any money. I wanted them to know there was hope and that I would fight for their rights against a system that believes in punishment rather than rehabilitation."
