Prosecutor Matthew Hanson

I’m Matt Hanson.

I’ve spent twenty-five years on the bench, closing over 40,000 cases ranging from speeding tickets to murder, along with criminal, civil and juvenile matters. Before taking the bench, I was a criminal deputy prosecutor, handling hundreds of cases and conducting more than twenty jury trials in three years. I also worked in private practice and as a lobbyist helping to pass and defeat legislation.

After watching the Twin Towers fall on 9/11, I joined the Indiana Army National Guard as a Judge Advocate. During nine years as a JAG, I worked in logistics, estate planning and criminal prosecution, and taught classes on the law of war and rules of engagement. In 2007, I deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and worked in detainee operations.

On this channel, I analyze bodycam footage from start to finish, exploring the criminal and civil issues involved and the impact these encounters may have on people’s lives.
