Description

David Heilpern was a cannabis smoking, yoga loving lawyer who wanted to change the world. As a country magistrate, he’s held a vomit bag for a prisoner, watched one young man go to prison just to spend time with family and saw others he convicted die behind bars. David joins Gary Jubelin to share what it’s really like behind the bench, and how he became known as the “f**k” magistrate.
