  • Tiger Woods

    Both lawyers on this podcast are the reason our judicial system is broken. You were on the side of giving Tiger a pass. Tiger needs to go to jail. He, and other rich and famous, need to stop being able to get by the law. Look at Robert Downey Jr. he finally had to go to jail and he finally changed his life.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

They tried to execute her twice. She survived. | Man faces trial 14 years after student’s slaying – TCN Sidebar
Q: Should we be collecting more DNA or is this a problem?
Aronberg supports DNA collection from people arrested for crimes as an identification tool comparable to fingerprints, while emphasizing that police should not swab people without a proper basis.
They tried to execute her twice. She survived. | Man faces trial 14 years after student’s slaying – TCN Sidebar
Q: Do you think they can pursue the death penalty again? Do you think they should?
Aronberg says another execution is likely constitutional under the Eighth Amendment, but he supports a moratorium and suggests Tennessee could impose life imprisonment instead. He says the victim's family's wishes should inform whether the state proceeds.
The ‘Dexter’ copycat who botched his own plan
Q: Is it appalling that you can brutally murder someone and in 25 years be potentially open for parole?
Garcia says sentencing depends on the different legal system and the circumstances, while noting Day would undergo psychiatric assessments before returning to court.
The ‘Dexter’ copycat who botched his own plan
Q: Do you believe this is the first time?
King says he cannot know for certain, but Day's collapse from careful preparation to confused actions suggests it may have been his first homicide.
Woman kills boyfriend with help from a horse | Mom convicted in car crash homicide - TCN Sidebar
Q: Why was Waterman's account of Mumby's alleged threat not admitted as a dying declaration?
Ansari explains that the exception generally requires a person to believe death is imminent when making the statement. Waterman made his statement in hospital, and the available details did not establish that he anticipated dying at that time.
