  The Lawyers Lounge - Vincent Champ Carter

  Aug 18, 202642 min

  The Second Chance — A Conversation with “Champ” He was only 16 years old when a criminal case threatened to change the direction of his life. At an age when most teenagers are thinking about school, football, friends, and the future, Champ was navigating the justice system and dealing with the very real possibility that one moment could define everything that came next. The case was ultimately dismissed, but that was only part of the story. In this episode of The Lawyers Lounge, Keith Johnson sits down with Champ to talk about the uncertainty of the case, his time in alternative school, the people who continued to believe in him, and the work it took to keep moving forward. Now, Champ is back in school and preparing to begin his senior year. This Friday, he will take the field for the start of his senior high school football season with his future once again in front of him. Their conversation is about football, perseverance, accountability, mentorship, belief, and what it means to receive a second chance and make something of it. More than anything, it is a reminder that one difficult chapter does not have to become the entire story.

  Behind The Bar — Both Sides of the Courtroom: A Conversation with Kevin Davis

  Aug 4, 20261h 3m

  Behind the Bar — Both Sides of the Courtroom: A Conversation with Kevin Davis Episode Description What changes when a lawyer has stood on both sides of the courtroom? In this episode of Behind the Bar, criminal defense attorney Keith Johnson sits down with Kevin Davis, Chief Assistant District Attorney, former public defender, and former college basketball player, for a candid conversation about justice, responsibility, and the pressures that come with making decisions that can change a person’s life. Kevin reflects on his journey from athletics into the legal profession, the lessons he carried from the basketball court into the courtroom, and how representing accused individuals shaped the prosecutor he later became. Together, Keith and Kevin explore the differences, and the common ground, between prosecution and defense, the misconceptions surrounding both roles. They discuss the responsibility lawyers carry to pursue justice rather than simply chase victories. The conversation also examines leadership, race, discretion, preparation, and what it means to serve a system that is powerful, imperfect, and deeply human. This is not a debate between opposing sides. It is an honest conversation between two lawyers who understand that justice depends on the people entrusted to pursue it.

  The Lawyers Lounge - The Weight of Being Accused

  Jul 21, 202658 min

  The Weight of Being Accused: A Conversation with Jean Pierre Washington What does it feel like to have your future placed in the hands of the justice system? In this powerful episode of The Lawyer’s Lounge, criminal defense attorney Keith Johnson sits down with Jean Pierre Washington, who spent more than six months in jail after being charged with manslaughter before his case was ultimately dismissed after investigators concluded he acted in self-defense. Rather than revisiting the legal arguments, this conversation explores the human side of the experience, the emotional weight of being accused, life inside a jail cell, the fear of an uncertain future, and the challenge of holding onto hope when everything you’ve worked for appears to be slipping away. Jean reflects on his lowest moments, the faith and resilience that carried him through, and what it felt like to finally hear that the charges had been dismissed. Now preparing to move forward with his life, he shares a message for anyone fighting to overcome adversity and reclaim their future. This is more than a conversation about the justice system. It’s a conversation about resilience, perspective, and the power of a second chance.

  Behind the Bar: The Verdict

  Jun 23, 202632 min

  Behind the Bar: The Verdict Every jury trial builds to this moment. The verdict. In this episode of Behind the Bar, criminal defense attorney Keith Johnson takes listeners inside the emotional climax of a jury trial, from the power of closing arguments and the agonizing wait for the jury to return to the unforgettable moment the verdict is read aloud in open court. Through the eyes of the defense attorney, Keith shares what it feels like to stand beside a client when everything that has happened over the months, and sometimes years, comes down to a single decision made by twelve strangers. He reflects on the responsibility, uncertainty, and emotion that accompany every verdict, whether it brings relief or heartbreak. For a few unforgettable moments, the courtroom falls silent, and every life in it hangs in the balance. Because in the end, every trial comes down to one word: Guilty. Or… Not Guilty.
