On today's Stateside, we heard more details about the lawsuits filed by and the continued infighting amongst the Michigan Republican Party. Then, we were told about a loop-hole in the state's indigent defense system: there are no standards or training for lawyers who represent children in the juvenile justice system. We concluded the show with a discussion about the future of so-called "zombie" shopping malls, could the combination of commerce and community be the answer going forward?
