  • AMAZING!

    Love both of your podcasts so much! I met y’all at Crime Con in Orlando (haven’t made it back to CC since 😢) and since I spend so much time listening to you each week, I really appreciated your graciousness and friendliness as I feel like we’re already friends!

    My question is: I live in Austin, TX. The state has recently passed a law that the 10 Commandments must be displayed in each classroom. How the heck is this legal when the Constitution specifies a separation between church and state? Wh... more

  • Big fan!

    Big fan of your podcasts! In your most recent episode, you say that exchanging five star reviews for questions is not extortion. But wouldn't this be a form of bribery? You characterize this as an exchange between you and a listener. But there are third parties affected by the exchange (e.g., potential listeners and sponsors who can see your podcast’s rating). Doesn’t that make some five star reviews—which might not have otherwise been left—a kickback in exchange for an inflated rating?

  • Excluded POI DNA saved in CODIS

    When a person of interest with no prior record voluntarily submits DNA and is excluded, is that DNA profile entered or retained in CODIS, or must law enforcement collect a new sample if the individual is later arrested for a completely unrelated crime.

  • Late to the party! But love it

    I found The Prosecutors way later into the show. But since, I have gone back and listened to every episode. I’m now doing the same with Legal Briefs! Though never really “brief” I learn so much from this podcast. I also enjoy Alice and Brett as they share true crime but from a different perspective! I don’t know what I’ll do once I’m totally caught up - Alice and Brett are the general background to all the things - cooking, cleaning, driving, getting ready!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

227. Luigi Mangione Ends, Murdaugh Begins
Q: Is there double jeopardy when a defendant is charged in both state and federal courts for related acts?
The hosts explain that while federal and state systems are separate, there can be double jeopardy concerns across sovereignties, with New York having broader protections; the strategy often involves pleading guilty in federal court first to secure those protections, then facing possible state proceedings.
224. Bryan Kohberger's Nothingburger
Q: Brooke wants to know, can you discuss the difference between pleading no contest and an Alfred plea?
No contest pleas acknowledge conviction without admitting innocence, while an Alfred plea admits guilt for the sake of a favorable outcome (often to avoid harsher penalties), and each has jurisdictional nuances that affect availability and strategy.
223. The Lindsay Clancy Case with Mama Psychologists
Q: What practical steps can listeners take if they suspect postpartum mental health issues in themselves or someone they know?
Seek help from a health care professional, find a therapist trained in perinatal mental health, advocate for appropriate psychiatric evaluation, and involve family support to ensure ongoing monitoring and safety for both mother and child.
223. The Lindsay Clancy Case with Mama Psychologists
Q: How does the Massachusetts insanity standard differ from the more common McNaughton Rule, and why does that matter in this case?
Massachusetts uses a broader standard where lacking substantial capacity to conform conduct to the law can excuse criminal responsibility even if the person understands the act is wrong, which can affect verdicts in cases like Lindsay Clancy; the distinction matters for whether she could be found not guilty by reason of insanity.
223. The Lindsay Clancy Case with Mama Psychologists
Q: What is postpartum psychosis and how does it differ from postpartum depression or anxiety?
Postpartum psychosis involves a break from reality with fixed delusions or hallucinations, and cognitive distortions that can be present alongside or after anxiety and depression, making timely recognition and urgent treatment critical.
