From tough-on-crime prosecutor to BLM supporter: we reviewed Kamala Harris 2 books, California criminal justice data, + a slew of interviews across the state’s police, prison, prosecutorial world to analyze Harris’ life as local prosecutor + state AG https://t.co/Idcpq27fKd

Three months after @EmilyRSiegel + I dug into officer-on-officer abuse in big city police departments, and highlighted how male cops who are accused get promoted at NYPD, two more women sue this NYPD captian @NBCInvestigates https://t.co/NFGZu4Nc8P

I lost my reporting partner due to layoffs at @NBCInvestigates . And I want the world to know: @EmilyRSiegel is the only journalist whom I ever met who is literally a 3-n-1 hire. She is a data reporter + a national television producer + a print reporter. Got a job lead? PLEASE DM

Emily Siegel @EmilyRSiegel

I was part of the group laid off by @NBCInvestigates last week. I spent 5 years at NBC, starting as a researcher and working up to investigative reporter. I worked with some of the most talented people in journalism. I’m going to miss it but I’m grateful for my time there. 1/5
