Explain Your Face | Ep. 11 | Simone Weichselbaum, Jesus was a False Prophet

Earlier this year, the Marshall Project and local journalist, Wendi Thomas, filed a lawsuit against the Memphis Shelby Crime Commission  over its failure to disclose financial information and other records.  Simone Weichselbaum, who covers national policing policy for the  Marshall Project, was investigating the claims often made by Memphis  officials that an increase in the number of police officers has a direct  impact on violent crime. Simone ran into a dead end when the Crime  Commission refused to provide requested information, so they filed the  lawsuit.We talked to Simone about the  importance of transparency when making public safety policy; some of the  unusual things she discovered about the Memphis Police Department; and  the challenges of diversity and inclusion in journalism. We hope you  enjoy our conversation.
