Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald has officially launched her new podcast, The Brief with Karen McDonald. The first episode dropped Saturday, November 8, and features Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy as the guest.
The two prosecutors sit down for a conversation about Detroit’s untested rape kit scandal, the realities of prosecuting sexual assault cases, and how the TV series Law & Order: SVU — and Olivia Benson herself — have inspired their work and a new generation to pursue justice.
McDonald, who is currently considered the frontrunner to become Michigan’s next Attorney General, uses the debut episode to spotlight one of the toughest issues prosecutors face and the lasting impact of advocacy for victims.
