08/04/15: Rep. Janet Adkins; Jerome Hayes Case; Katie Caples Foundation

State Rep. Janet Adkins (R-Fernandina Beach) joins us to discuss education issues, as well as possible legislation to address how quickly sexual assault kits are processed in the state.

We speak with Florida Times-Union reporter Topher Sanders and First Coast News reporter Anne Schindler about the story of Jerome Hayes, a local man jailed for 589 days without a conviction.

Jacksonville's Katie Caples Foundation was recently recognized for their work advocating for organ donations. Jennifer Cook, Executive Director of the Katie Caples Foundation, and Ashley Pratt, Operations Manager Transplant and Nephrology at Mayo Clinic, join us with more.
