Episode 2 of Deep Reporting w/ Rex Carlin brings investigative reporter Sarah Smith on to discuss the story she wrote for ProPublica in December called, "What Are We Going to Do About Tyler," which puts a light on the neglectful state of affairs inside the Mississippi criminal justice system when it comes to mental health evaluations for suspects of crimes. We discuss Tyler Haire, the character behind the article and the poster-child for a systemic problem in one of America's poorest states.
