Pushkin Hey everybody, it's Jake here.
I hope you enjoyed this season of Deep Cover, The Family Man.
As so often happens when I'm working on a story like this, there are questions that have stuck with me, things we couldn't unpack in detail during the course of the series.
A lot of those have to do with the legal proceedings that Keith Giamonco faced after his arrest in 2008.
Like, how did his tearful and immediate confession affect his prospects in the courts?
And speaking of the courts, why was he prosecuted twice at the federal and then the state level?
Why couldn't Keith and his lawyers get on the same page about their trial strategy?
And of course, the biggest lingering question for me, was the sentence that Keith received really necessary?
So I sat down with my friend James Foreman Jr.
to talk it all through.
James is a professor at the Yale Law School and won the Pulitzer Prize for his book on mass incarceration.
Here's our conversation.
I kind of want to start at the beginning of Keith's interaction with law enforcement.
So he gets arrested after the 12th bank that he robs.
this detective who's been looking for him, John Bradley, ends up going with him into an interrogation room with another detective.
And Keith does not ask for a lawyer, and he immediately confesses to what he's done.
