Guests Judge Gregg Maxon, Tempe Judge pro tem and a retired Army Brigadier General is joined by Patricia George the lead prosecutor in the City of Phoenix Veterans Court which is the largest single jurisdiction veterans court in the country. They discuss how the Veteran’s Court works to reduce the recidivism rate for Veterans who transition from military to civilian life and face criminal justice issues because of the challenges of that transition
