"Ask the Bronx D.A."

     "Ask the Bronx D.A.," a show co-hosted by Bronxnet’s Melanie Torres and District Attorney Robert Johnson is a multi-part series that serves to educate Bronx residents about the criminal justice system. The show was created as part of an outreach effort to educate the public on matters of concern ranging from on-the-street drug sales to elder abuse.
