Summary
Three years ago this week, Oakland bakery owner Jen Angel lost her life when a “smash and grab” robbery went horribly wrong.

We bring you an excerpt from an episode of the Snap Judgment podcast, which explores what happens when Angel’s community pushes for restorative justice instead of retribution, something they say Angel would have wanted for the accused.
