  • Unlimited respect for these attorneys

    I’ve been listening to podcasts by The Prosecutors for a long time and have always found them thought-provoking, well-researched, and convincing regarding their knowledge of the law and applicable facts. Absolutely brilliant. Also, they are excellent speakers: clear, well-paced, easy to understand.

  • The Hypocrites: Opinion Briefs

    While I agree that the prosecution of James Comey isn’t great, it’s so funny that The Hypocrites are so mad about it and say that it’s going to lead to political prosecution in the next democratic administration. I don’t remember you crying for hours about the political prosecution of the previous democratic administration, and that maybe the current situation is a result of that.

  • Please explain

    Hello!

    I’m so confused about where all the checks and balances are in our government.

    I wanted to know how the department of Justice works in our country. I’ve been under the impression that it is separate from the administration. I assumed the DOJ were the lawyers for the people.

    I would love an explanation as to why the systems seem to be breaking down

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

219. Randy Barnett and Felony Review
Q: What drew you to become a prosecutor instead of a defense attorney?
I was drawn to the constructive, building side of law and the belief that the role of a prosecutor is to do justice, even if that means not prosecuting when the evidence isn't there, which felt more aligned with my sense of public service.
215. Mangione Suppression Rulings
Q: What is the core issue with Mangione's backpack search under New York law, and how does it differ from federal law?
The core issue is whether the initial search fell within the grabbable area of the arrestee; under New York law, moving the backpack away from Mangione can make the search invalid, whereas federal law allows more leeway under the exigency and inevitable discovery theories, leading to different outcomes in suppression rulings.
211. Birthright Citizenship at the Supreme Court
Q: Are Supreme Court arguing attorneys sworn in like witnesses when they speak, and do they have to bring evidence during oral arguments?
No. Oral arguments in the Supreme Court are not evidentiary hearings; advocates are not sworn witnesses. They present legal arguments and hypotheticals to illustrate how the law applies, rather than introducing trial evidence.
206. CrimeCon Q and A
Q: How do you balance motherhood and a demanding legal podcast career?
You balance by planning ahead, asking for help, prioritizing family, and reframing daily tasks as opportunities to be present with loved ones, while still pursuing meaningful work and maintaining a supportive team around you.
206. CrimeCon Q and A
Q: What is your most rewarding experience since starting the podcast?
The most rewarding experiences come from meeting listeners in person at CrimeCon, hearing their stories, and realizing the show's impact on real people, including fans who share personal moments and crafts inspired by episodes.
