Back to EpisodesUnraveling the Hope for Prisoners Scandal, Raiders Ask for $75 Million, and Remembering the Riviera
Description
The founder of Hope for Prisoners is now facing nine felonies and 11 gross misdemeanors, including sexual assault charges alleging he used his position to prey on incarcerated women at Nevada prisons and transitional housing facilities. We dig into the case and what it means for the organization he built. Then, the Raiders are asking for $75 million in public funds to build a new entrance plaza at Allegiant Stadium, a project the team didn't bother including when the stadium was first built with $750 million in public money. We break down why they're asking for the funds and whether or not it's worth the investment. Plus, we've got another round of our Vegas Fixations for you. Host Jesse Merrick breaks it all down with criminal defense attorney Dayvid Figler and artist Vogue Robinson.
