    Introducing Abuse of Power with David Rudolf and Sonya Pfeiffer

    Coerced confessions. Fabricated evidence. Arresting and prosecuting the innocent. The United States justice system commits wrongs of every degree against the very people it's supposed to protect: us.

Award-winning journalist and criminal defense attorney, Sonya Pfeiffer, and her husband and law partner, David Rudolf dive deep into each case, providing listeners with an overview of the abuse that occurred, interviewing those directly involved – including defendants, lawyers, experts and family members – and also highlighting the fallout of the untold stories of those impacted.
