It’s Crime Tuesday on the Lou Desmond & Company Show on KMET 1490 AM — I’m Dr. Currie Myers, filling in for Lou Desmond this week. We live in an era where the balance of justice can tip on a rogue prosecutor’s whim or be derailed by an activist judge’s pen. Crime policy isn’t just a topic for the ivory tower — it’s the very thing that determines whether our streets stay safe or become free-fire zones.
Joining me in studio is Zack Smith, Senior Legal Fellow and Manager at the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at The Heritage Foundation. He previously served for several years as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Northern District of Florida. Prior to that, he spent two years as an associate in the Washington, D.C. office of Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton, which he joined after clerking for the Hon. Emmett R. Cox on the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.
Zack’s expertise spans from scrutinizing prosecutorial overreach to evaluating how activist judges reshape criminal justice doctrine. He’s been at the forefront of analyzing—and challenging—the policies that too often prioritize politics over public safety.
