Post-Conviction Purgatory 44:03

cách đây 15 ngày trước44:03

44:03

It took decades for death row inmate Richard Glossip to convince Oklahomans and, later, the U.S. Supreme Court that he deserved a new trial. Glossip is just one of many inmates who say they faced convictions for crimes they did not commit. Read about enough of these cases, and you’ll be asking, “Is innocence enough?” For the wrongfully convicted, tearful reunions and proclamations of justice from the courthouse steps only come after an arduous exoneration process paved with years of litigation. The average person wrongfully convicted loses a decade of their life behind bars, learning the legal system and advocating for their innocence. As the number of exonerations rise annually, there is still no way to track how many people have suffered unjust convictions. In the third episode of our fifth season, we journey through the highs and lows of post-conviction purgatory for people claiming innocence, from one Oklahoma man’s hand-written petitions to a New York man who waited nearly two decades for evidence to emerge for a lawyer to take his case. Special guests: Andrea Miller, legal director of the Oklahoma Innocence Project Maurice Possley, researcher at the National Registry of Exonerations Justin Brooks, co-founder of the California Innocence Project Laneshia Jordan, Texas attorney Jeffrey Deskovic, exoneree and attorney Michael Grant, exoneree and assistant director of The Liberation Foundation Retired U.S. Magistrate Judge Kristen Mix Carl Wyatt, Oklahoma inmate asserting innocence This episode was produced by Kirk McDaniel.

Mother of Mercy! What the Hell Is RICO? 28:02

cách đây 29 ngày trước28:02

28:02

The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, otherwise known as RICO. It's famous as the law used to take down organized crime, with then-U.S. Attorney Rudy Giuliani bringing the Mafia Commission Trial in the 1980s after indicting nine high-level organized crime figures, including the heads of New York's "Five Families." But that's not the only time it comes up in court. It's been used in criminal court to go after motorcycle clubs, wealthy investors, the Key West Police Department in Florida, R&B singer R. Kelly and even President Donald Trump, but also in civil cases, like against Big Tobacco and sex abuse claims against the Catholic Church. RICO is the subject of our second episode this season: What it is, what it isn't and why it's used so much in one particular state. Special guests: George Anastasia, former Philadelphia Inquirer crime reporter Jeff Grell, an attorney and lecturer at the University of Minnesota Law School Eric Seidel, former deputy attorney general in charge of New York’s Organized Crime Task Force Joe Lancaster, an assistant editor at Reason This episode was produced by Kirk McDaniel.

29:30

Welcome back, listeners, to our humble show’s fifth season. As America welcomes a new president, a particular media company welcomes a new owner. Well, almost. That’s why we’re here to guide you through the uncertainty of a certain bankruptcy process, promising to determine who will own one of the nation’s most controversial media companies, one whose name sums it all up with a bow: Infowars. Despite over a billion dollars in defamation judgments, Alex Jones remains vocal online as he continues to operate his media empire while a bankruptcy court determines its future owner. Will satirical news outlet The Onion eventually wrest control away from Jones? And what sort of implications does the case have on disinformation and free speech? All we know is the battle for Infowars is far from over. Special guests: Dan Friesen, co-host of the Knowledge Fight podcast Christopher Hampson, professor of law at the University of Florida Nolan Higdon, critical media literacy scholar and lecturer at the University of California Santa Cruz This episode was produced by Kirk McDaniel.

TL;DR 2024: YSL, NRA, NFL 29:43

Editor's note: This episode includes court testimony containing explicit language. Dust off your tux and polish your dancing shoes: It’s time for Sidebar’s end-of-the-year extravaganza and season finale. We bring you three of the most interesting and unusual trials you missed this year while President-elect Donald Trump was soaking up the attention in courthouses nationwide. And there’s no better way to kick this party off than Georgia’s longest-running criminal trial in state history: The prolonged RICO trial of Young Thug and alleged violent street gang Young Slime Life in Atlanta. To guide you through the ins and outs of a trial with more twists and defendants than an M. Night Shyamalan movie is our Atlanta reporter, Megan Butler. Up next, with help from our intrepid New York reporter Erik Uebelacker, we turn our attention to the National Rifle Association’s legal troubles, detailing the two trials over former NRA President Wayne LaPierre’s misuse of the organization’s funds for personal luxury and how the NRA will govern itself going forward. To round out an episode jampacked with acronyms, why did a judge throw out a $4.7 billion verdict against the NFL over antitrust violations connected to its Sunday Ticket package after fans claimed the price was artificially inflated? Edvard Pettersson has the answer. See you in January with new episodes you won’t want to miss. This episode was produced by Kirk McDaniel. Intro music by The Dead Pens .

Brushstrokes Around the Bench 38:01

The art world isn’t limited to museums and galleries anymore, with pieces now embedded in courthouses across the country — from the majestic marble palace of the U.S. Supreme Court to landscapes urging conversations about climate change at the Byron White U.S. Courthouse in Denver. How did we move away from serious images of Lady Justice and authoritative judges clad in black robes to swaths of color and happy trees? How did art get into the judicial system to begin with? In our penultimate episode this season, we bring you the artists who capture vivid portraits that honor state justices and attorneys not often memorialized in art and how courtroom sketches transcend photography to paint a picture of a defendant up close and personal or document moments of social change. Special guests: Roger Laux Nelson, a landscape artist with works in the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals Ximena Velázquez-Arenas, an artist and attorney Ted Ellis, an artist and director of Florida State University’s Civil Rights Institute Jennifer Gibson, director of the Center for Fine Arts at the General Services Administration Drew Alderson, manager of the Colorado Judicial Learning Center Joan Kee, director of the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University Vicki Behringer, a courtroom sketch artist This episode was produced by Kirk McDaniel.

The Trial of Lizzie Borden 30:10

30:10

Sensational headlines, societal upheaval and a gruesome crime that shook Fall River, Massachusetts, to its core. Turn off the lights and cozy up to the fireplace as we bring you the spookiest type of story we can — one straight from the history books. America's first trial of the century came from an unusual source: Lizzie Borden, a 32-year-old unmarried upper-class woman in 1892 New England. Borden's father and stepmother met their final moments in one of the most brutal of ways, at the hands of someone with an axe. Did she do it? With the help of two writers, we bring you inside the courtroom for Borden's trial, a legal spectacle set against the backdrop of yellow journalism and a nation gripped by details of a crime among the affluent, complete with an all-star cast of attorneys. Special guests: Cara Robertson, author of The Trial of Lizzie Borden Mark Olshaker, co-author of The Cases That Haunt Us This episode was produced by Kirk McDaniel. Intro music by The Dead Pens .

Constitutional Woodchipper: The SCOTUS Preview 40:22

cách đây 24 weeks trước40:22

40:22

It's October, so you know what that means ... spooky season is finally here! And with it, the Supreme Court is back in session, complete with ghosts of the gun variety. In this year's SCOTUS preview, we bring you the cases you need to know. The court will weigh in on a Biden administration rule to redefine firearms to address the public safety risk of ghost guns in America. We delve into the complexities and legal arguments that ignited a heated debate with gun manufacturers and the NRA over what truly constitutes a firearm. The court will also hear about the death penalty case of Richard Glossip, who has faced the specter of execution nine times for a crime he claims he didn't commit. From the dubious testimony of the actual murderer to the systemic failures that have kept Glossip on death row, the case has led even unlikely proponents to question the mechanics of our justice system. And we tackle Tennessee's controversial SB1 law, which bans gender-affirming care for transgender minors. This controversial legislation pits the state's focus on the experimental nature of such treatments against the medical community's endorsement of their necessity. This legal battle doesn't just impact Tennessee; it could reshape the landscape for transgender rights nationwide. Special guests: Don Knight, Richard Glossip’s attorney Robert Dunham, director at the Death Penalty Policy Project and special counsel at Phillips Black Oklahoma state Representative Justin Humphrey Sasha Buchert, director of the Non-Binary and Transgender Rights Project at Lambda Legal Eric Tirschwell, executive director of Everytown Law Cody Wilson, director of Defense Distributed Kevin Tobia, a professor of law and philosophy at Georgetown Erin Erhardt, litigation counsel at the National Rifle Association This episode was produced by Kirk McDaniel.

Election Undercard 2024 40:59

cách đây 27 weeks trước40:59

40:59

Zombie voters. Sham elections. Voter fraud. In the months leading up to the 2024 presidential election, election lawsuits are flooding courts across the U.S., with the timing of some geared more toward grabbing headlines than achieving legal resolutions. Allegations aren’t considered true until a judge’s final order, but that doesn’t stop people from believing them. In our 10th episode this season, we uncover the raw truths behind the politicized world of election integrity starting in Grand Junction, Colo., where a 2021 municipal election became a flashpoint for ideological battles and unfounded claims of voter fraud leading to the intricate legal quagmire surrounding Tina Peters, a former Colorado election official embroiled in controversy. From there, we zero in on the world of pre-election litigation and voter registration errors in legal battles raging across states like Arizona, Ohio and Pennsylvania, touching on the delicate balance between security and transparency. Special guests: Attorney Bruce L. Castor Jr. Bobbie Gross, clerk and recorder for Mesa County, Colo. Abe Herman, mayor of Grand Junction, Colo. Marly Hornik, chief executive officer of United Sovereign Americans Leah Tulin, senior counsel at the Brennan Center for Justice’s Democracy Program Witold "Vic" Walczak, legal director of the ACLU of Pennsylvania This episode was produced by Kirk McDaniel.

Known for his unwavering conservative stance, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's career has been marked by significant legal battles, including a protracted securities fraud case and intense impeachment proceedings that left an indelible mark on his legacy. And yet, his trajectory from state representative to Texas’ top cop continues upward, setting him up as a possible candidate for a potential second Donald Trump administration. In our ninth episode this season, we unravel how a group of whistleblowers reported alleged misconduct by Paxton to the FBI, sparking a series of retaliatory actions and a legislative probe that set the stage for a dramatic showdown in a high-stakes impeachment trial that led to a not guilty verdict. What broader implications for the state Republican Party's internal dynamics awaited post-acquittal?

Glass Palaces 39:37

39:37

All aboard, fair listeners, as we take you on a summer tour of the fascinating world of courthouse architecture and how it shapes our justice system. Can courthouse design impact justice? You’ve joined us right in the middle of America’s greatest era of civics construction. Over the last 30 years, the federal government spent more than $10 billion building or renovating more than 200 federal courts, not to mention all the new state ones. Due to growing caseloads, more judges get appointed, who, in turn, need more space for more staff. In our eighth episode this season, we detail the history behind grand, historical courthouse and the innovation of more modern designs, like the “Cube” in Los Angeles. From the architects crafting light-filled, functional courthouse spaces to the sheriffs seeking to amplify light inside to prioritize mental health and security for inmates and staff alike, we bring you the thoughts behind the critical evolution in courthouse design. A quick editor’s note: we are off for our summer break until August. See you then, same time, same place! Special guests: Curtis Fentress, principal in charge of design at Fentress Architects Denver Sheriff Elias Diggins Denver County Court Judge Frances Simonet Kate Merrill, wedding photographer This episode was produced by Kirk McDaniel.

Shopping for the Perfect Court 34:22

cách đây 41 weeks trước34:22

34:22

In the past few years, there’s been an explosion of nationwide injunctions coming from single-judge divisions in the federal court system. These judges were handpicked by the people filing these lawsuits. You may have heard of one: U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk. With Kacsmaryk’s rulings, Texas has been able to dictate federal discrimination guidance for transgender employees and commandeer the Biden administration’s immigration policies. He also tried to limit abortion access nationwide, issuing a ruling that would have removed the abortion drug mifepristone from shelves across the country. In Sidebar’s seventh episode this season, we bring you the inside baseball of judge shopping. Federal rules govern how many judges are assigned to a court, and when a court has a division with only one judge at the helm, it becomes easier to know who will hear your case. Special guests: Brook Gotberg, law professor at Brigham Young University Laura Coordes, law professor at Arizona State University Steve Vladeck, law professor at the University of Texas at Austin Jonas Anderson, law professor at the University of Utah This episode was produced by Kirk McDaniel.

In our sixth episode this season, we expose the dark side of reality TV chaos. From claims of an unsafe work environment and intentional infliction of emotional distress made by cast members against producers, to sexual assault by their costars, how much of what we see is actually ... well, real? What does the future of these shows look like in light of these burgeoning legal battles and amid a call to arms by former start Bethenny Frankel to unionize in a “reality TV reckoning”?

Copyright Conundrum 34:12

34:12

Would you believe us if we told you copyright law is the biggest regulation on free speech in the United States? When you exercise your First Amendment right to paint a picture or write the next great American novel, your speech belongs to you. No one can take it and pass it off as their own. But when all the power is vested solely in one person, the rights of others slowly begin to dwindle. If you think copyright is just a term for media executives and lawyers, come along as we unravel its constitutional underpinnings. In our fifth episode this season, we dissect this intricate balance that copyright law maintains between protecting creators and ensuring the public’s unfettered access to cultural treasurer, detailing the symbiotic relationship between artistic works and the fundamental right to speak freely. Copyright is all around us because speech is all around us. Special guests: Jennifer Jenkins, a Duke University professor of law and director of the university's Center for the Study of the Public Domain Mike Masnick, writer and founder of Techdirt Corynne McSherry, legal director at the Electronic Frontier Foundation Keith Kupferschmid, CEO of Copyright Alliance This episode was produced by Kirk McDaniel.

Bitter Pill: Pregnancy and Personhood in a Post-Dobbs America 33:57

33:57

The landscape of abortion rights in America is unrecognizable in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization . Join us for our fourth episode this season as we navigate this tumultuous terrain, dissecting the seismic shifts and looming legal — and political — battles that promise to keep this issue at the forefront of national discourse. As states become battlegrounds with polarized stances on reproductive laws, how will the growing schism impact our collective moral compass and individual liberties? Hold onto your seats as we examine the Supreme Court’s potential reshaping of federal authority over FDA-approved abortion medications like mifepristone and the state-level legislation redrawing the battleground of reproductive rights by either restricting or safeguarding abortion access, spotlighting Alabama’s legal contortions over fetal personhood and its deep entanglement with in vitro fertilization treatments that could eventually redefine reproductive autonomy. Special guests: Dale Cecka, director of the Family Violence Litigation Clinic at Albany Law School Chelsey Youman, national legislative advisor for Human Coalition Action Grace Howard, associate professor of justice studies at San Jose State University Dana Sussman, deputy executive director at Pregnancy Justice Aziza Ahmed, law professor at Boston University This episode was produced by Kirk McDaniel.
