This week, News 12 is bringing you an exclusive conversation with a member of Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani's transition team that's sparking some controversy.

Mysonne Linen was appointed to Mamdani's Committee on the Criminal Legal System, but some question his past conviction for armed robbery, which he served seven years in prison for.

The widow of one of the victims of that crime told reporters that his appointment was wrong.

Mamdani has stood by his decision. Kelly Kennedy sat down with the activist to talk about his past, and how he hopes to shape the city's future.
