Daniel McFadin, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reporter and co-host of “The Orsini Tapes” podcast, interviews Little Rock's city attorney Tom Carpenter, who once had a job he doesn't put on his resume: serving as one of Mary Lee Orsini's lawyers during her 1982 murder trial. In this interview, Carpenter recounts how he became involved in the case and how the experience became a "nightmare" he would never repeat.
