  • Too Many Ads

    I’ve listened to this for years but the ads keep getting longer and longer. Also the first 5 minutes are all about silly things and not relevant to what’s going on. Can you just stick to the current events and our justice system.

  • Really?

    Bizarre discussion today about gerrymandering. Very little nuance noted about the difference between how the two parties are handling it. Have this discussion when we aren’t in an all out war for Democracy….doing it now comes across as out of touch and ridiculous.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

329: Catch Me If You Can
Q: Dr. Anne asks about standing versus venue and how they affect where a case can be heard.
Barb and Jill describe standing as injury-based eligibility, venue as the proper geographic filing location, and how both must align with the facts of the case to determine proper jurisdiction.
329: Catch Me If You Can
Q: Tricia in Fairfax asks how to guard against AI fakes in media consumption.
Barb and Jill discuss AI labeling and the importance of skepticism, multiple sources, and credible reporting to mitigate misinformation while advocating for labeling laws.
329: Catch Me If You Can
Q: Tim in London asks what happens if a criminal reaches a non-extradition country.
Jill explains the U.S. extradition framework, treaty-based proceedings, and the use of Interpol red notices when a country lacks an extradition treaty, keeping the person in a legal limbo until capture or proceedings are arranged.
329: Catch Me If You Can
Q: Joanne asks about the two E. Jean Carroll cases and why they weren't lumped together.
Jill notes there were two distinct proceedings that occurred at different times, one connected to the White House context and another with a separate timeline, with significant financial judgments in play and ongoing appeals.
329: Catch Me If You Can
Q: Brandon in New York asks about the value or purpose of giving someone more than one life sentence and its effects beyond the length of the sentence.
Barb explains that multiple life sentences reflect separate crimes and provide a fallback if one sentence is overturned, with a note that they would run concurrently rather than consecutively.
