In this episode, we crack open GRL’s Victory Vault to shine some light on a case where not only did GRL Law get a great result for a client but were also able to dole out some justice to a prosecutor.  We sit down with GRL partner Matt Lindholm to explain how a rather routine Operating While Intoxicated charge took an unexpected turn when Matt’s thorough investigation of the case uncovered that the arresting police officer failed to calibrate his radar equipment.  What resulted from there has to be heard to be believed.  Tune in to hear how the prosecutor’s attempts to thwart Matt from getting justice for his client resulted in the prosecutor getting hit with a little poetic justice of his own. Thanks for tuning in to the episode on the GRL RAW podcast network!

Some call it nonconsensual pornography others call it revenge porn. Regardless of the label, nonconsensual sharing or dissemination of intimate sexual photographs and videos causes immediate and long-term harm to the person whose trust and confidence is betrayed.
