GreenWatch TV topic: Harris County needs a Public Defenders Office

Event Description:

We plan for this fortnightly show to have people talk about how Harris County should help down-and-out people caught up in the criminal system. As it is, judges appoint defense attorneys, with next to no money provided for them. Meanwhile, the prosecution has large staff and other resources. We'll explore the ins and outs of the way things are, and make the case for a better way of administering justice.

GreenWatch is a locally produced, live, call-in TV show that has aired since 1999 on Houston cable public access television (PATV), also known as People's TV, AKA www.hmstv.org where you, too, can be the media!

Take part in local, progressive television every other Wednesday, 9-10 PM; public access cable TV inside Houston city limits (Comcast 17; TVMax 95; Sudden Link 98; Phonoscope 75). THE CALL-IN NUMBER DURING THE SHOW IS 713-807-1794.

As of late last year, we archive our shows ONLINE where you can watch them at your leisure -- low-definition, about an hour each. See the links at the URL listed below.
