Jim Petro Looks Back on 29-Year Career

Petro was stricken with throat cancer a few years ago, but he says that’s not what is prompting his retirement. He says medical treatment has made him cancer-free, and he’s quitting his government job so he can focus on a relatively new passion -- giving lectures about changing the criminal justice system to hold down the number of people who are wrongly convicted of crimes.

Nick Castele was a senior reporter covering politics and government for Ideastream Public Media. He worked as a reporter for Ideastream from 2012-2022.
