Vida Johnson: Police Bias and Testimony
Vida B. Johnson is an Associate Professor of law at Georgetown Law where she teaches in the criminal defense clinics. She writes about policing and criminal procedure. She received her law degree from NYU and her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of California, Berkeley. Professor Johnson discusses her two articles on police bias. First, we talk about her article, "Bias in Blue: Instructing Jurors to Consider the Testimony of Police Officer Witnesses with Caution" where she details how prosecutors and judges ignore police bias and misconduct for various reasons. Next, we touch upon her research into the "KKK in the PD: White Supremacist Police and What to Do About It."
