Marcia Clark, best known as the lead prosecutor in the O.J. Simpson trial, has become a trailblazer for women in law and beyond. Her journey from courtroom to bestselling author reflects her resilience and determination to redefine herself amidst intense public scrutiny. On this episode of Worth Knowing, Clark dives into her latest book, *Trial by Ambush*, which examines the 1953 Barbara Graham case—a story that highlights gender bias, media sensationalism, and the notion that all cases are subject to societal, cultural, and political winds. Clark shares how her experiences during the Simpson trial shaped her perspective on societal pressures and the role of women in high-stakes professions. Her reflections on how media, forensic science, and legal practices have evolved over decades offer valuable insights into the intersection of law and culture. This conversation is a compelling exploration of true crime, personal growth, and how Clark’s groundbreaking career continues to inspire a new generation of women to challenge norms and forge their own paths. Marcia Clark is a bestselling author and a criminal lawyer who began her career in law as a criminal defense attorney and went on to become a prosecutor in the L.A. District Attorney's Office in 1981. She spent ten years in the Special Trials Unit, where she handled a number of high-profile cases, including the prosecution of stalker/murderer Robert Bardo, whose conviction for the murder of actress Rebecca Schaeffer resulted in legislation that offered victims better protection from stalkers as well as increased punishment for the offenders. She was lead prosecutor for the O.J. Simpson murder trial. In May of 1997 her book on the Simpson case, "Without a Doubt," was published and reached #1 on the New York Times, Wall St. Journal, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and Publishers Weekly bestsellers lists. In February 2016, Clark re-released the book with a new foreword.

Everyone does belong but like the Ethiopian Eunuch, they need someone to come alongside and get their path and help them understand Christ and how we belong to God the Father!…
The disciples were freed from jail and told to go into the court and share about this new life! As students depart for the summer, this too is what all are called to do. How does that happen? Listen in…
The apostles are identified as companions of Jesus by both the Jewish leaders, elders, and scribes as well as Mark when he writes of Mary Magdalene telling them of his Resurrection! they are known to have shared bread with Jesus. We know today that the greatest companionship is to share together the Eucharist, but it should also be seen in our sharing of “bread” in life as well. Listen and consider how you are called to invite others to your table? Or to accept the invite to eat with someone who makes the invitation to you.…
Some words are fads, but they are trying to articulate something that is not passing. The darkness people experience and the darkness of the world, are real.

St Patrick lived a life of mission and reminds us that some people make significant moves of mission that impact us. However, many small acts of mission also happen and are essential to the whole body! Each person is called in Christ to live life as a present - a gift!
Other people’s problems should reveal our own problems. Our own problems should reveal our need for God! We know He answers when the fruits of the Holy Spirit are present.
The Beatitudes here are directed to the disciples. They may not believe they are poor but Jesus is leading them to the cross. They too will see their poverty. All of us will experience of “death” after having encountered Christ. But if we stay present, the Resurrection will be revealed in our lives too.…
