Description
Linda Dunikoski, the Senior Assistant District Attorney in the Cobb County DA’s Office who served as the lead prosecutor in the trial of the three men who murdered Ahmaud Arbery, speaks with Preet about the case.  Dunikoski discusses several of her key strategic choices, including why she decided not to emphasize Arbery’s race to the jury. She also talks about her relationship to the Arbery family and her reaction when defense counsel used the phrase “long-dirty toenails” to describe Arbery’s appearance the day he was killed.  Preet concludes the episode with his remembrance of Oscar-winning actor and director Sidney Poitier, who passed away on January 6th at the age of 94.  For references, supplemental materials, and a transcript of the episode, head to: https://cafe.com/stay-tuned/convicting-ahmaud-arberys-killers-with-ada-linda-dunikoski/ In the Insider Bonus, Preet asks Dunikoski what part of trial she most enjoys and whether she has any trial superstitions.
