Stephen A. Smith moderates a heated and thought-provoking debate between civil rights attorney and former federal prosecutor Charles F. Coleman Jr. and former police officer and conservative commentator Officer Brandon Tatum over the Nolan Wells case.
The two offer sharply different perspectives on the investigation, the role race has played in the public conversation, whether Wells’ friends have been unfairly targeted, and the involvement of prominent figures including Benjamin Crump and Al Sharpton.
With questions still surrounding what happened to Nolan Wells, Stephen A. pushes both sides on the facts, the media narrative, law enforcement’s handling of the investigation, and the dangers of rushing to judgment before all the evidence is known.
