Today, we released a revised version of our first episode of ‘The Process is the Punishment,’ a three-episode series covering the Cop City RICO cases and the ATL 61.
The episode is available to stream now on Patreon and Substack for paid subscribers.
For this series, we interviewed five of the defendants, legal experts, and attorneys. Much of this reporting is based on Mainline’s groundbreaking and original reporting about Cop City, beginning in June 2021.
This revised episode incorporates the minor corrections we issued on Jan. 17 and more words from the five defendants about themselves.
This episode was produced by Tasi Chargulaf with Aja Arnold serving as editor and reporter during interviews. Music by Often. This coverage was reviewed by the First Amendment Clinic at UGA.
To listen, please subscribe on either Patreon or Substack—you can cancel at any time! All proceeds go to support production costs for the rest of the series and our studio in Atlanta.
