The People v belongs to “Philly D.A.,” the eight-part docuseries about Larry Krasner’s attempt to reform the justice system from the inside. 
2022 Webby Winner | Public Service & Activism (Video Series & Channels) 

Should we rethink the way juveniles are sentenced for crimes they committed as teens?
Research suggests that young people’s brains are still developing into their mid-twenties, meaning that teens don’t have the same maturity, impulse control, and ability to foresee the consequences of their actions as adults. And yet in April 2021 the Supreme Court reversed 16-years of precedent limiting life without parole sentences for juveniles.
