In the episode, I hosted Yemima Abramovich, a veteran criminal defense attorney, and we talked about life on the edge – between murder and serious crime cases, and motherhood, relationships, and everyday life that doesn’t stop for a moment. We delved into the high-profile cases that shaped her career, including a chilling story about a police investigator who was caught disrupting an investigation – while the camera was still rolling.

We talked about plea bargains, judges who apply pressure, life sentences, and a case where luck and timing determine a person’s fate. We also touched on the power of the media, public anger toward defense attorneys, and the psychological cost of representing the people society loves to hate the most.

What does a criminal defense attorney’s daily battle look like?

Is legal justice and moral justice the same thing?

What happens when a mother returns from a murder hearing to the parents’ committee?

And shouldn’t every murder really end in life imprisonment?

A powerful, revealing and moving chapter. Enjoy.
