[FoxNews] The Texas Democrat drew on her legal experience to argue those committing crime out of desperation should not be viewed as criminals
Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, argued that people who commit crimes out of desperation should not always be considered as criminals.
Crockett appeared on Jonathan Van Ness’ "Getting Better" podcast, where the host asked her to share one key fact she wishes more people knew about crime in America.
"I would imagine that you worked with a lot of people that were like wrong place, wrong time, like didn't have a voice, like were falsely accused," he said. "What do you wish that people knew?"
Crockett said her work with indigent clients in Texas led her to "understanding what ends up having people become criminally impacted really informs so much of what I do legislatively."
