  • Pro life lawyer??

    Constant pro life ads. Also the host acts unbiased by always fires passive aggressive shots at women who are involved in the cases he’s discussing. He’s anti Lindsay Clancy and anti Karen Read.

  • Good show, but

    I like to hear the show, I like Robert Reisch's way of presenting his material, I like his voice. What I don't like is the way the ads come in, often before he's finished a sentence. Sometimes in the middle of a word? Come on, this is handled better on other podcasts. I know they do this to be as annoying as possible so people will subscribe but it wouldn't encourage me to subscribe. I'm at my paid subscription limit already and I'm not going to subscribe to a show that annoys me like this. I'... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Charlie Kirk Case: Taxpayers May Eat the $10M Defense Bill
Q: Why do so many people question whether Robinson can receive a fair trial?
The host argues that high-profile cases do not automatically preclude a fair jury if voir dire is conducted rigorously, jurors can be sequestered or instructed, and the public record does not automatically taint a jury; historical precedent like OJ Simpson's case is cited to illustrate that a fair trial is possible when jurors can remain impartial and follow court instructions.
Tate Brothers Held in Miami... UK Extradition Fight Begins
Q: Should you lie to your criminal defense attorney?
Absolutely not. Attorney-client privilege protects confidential conversations, and you should tell your attorney the truth so they can give you the best possible advice and strategy.
D4vd Preliminary Hearing: Detective Testifies on Purchases and Burn Box
Q: What should a client disclose to their attorney to avoid jeopardizing the case?
Disclose the truth and the facts as they are; discovery should be reviewed before making substantive decisions, and a client should not rely on lying or hiding material facts; the attorney's role is to navigate the truth within the framework of the law.
D4vd Preliminary Hearing: Detective Testifies on Purchases and Burn Box
Q: So a defendant is supposed to tell you that they actually did the heinous thing they're charged with, right?
The host explains that attorney-client privilege protects confidential information, and while lawyers may guide clients, they should not help them commit perjury; the best approach is to be honest with the lawyer so the attorney can properly represent the client.
120 Years for Starbucks Kidnapper: DNA, a Confession, and No Mercy
Q: What is the difference between a grand jury and a preliminary hearing?
The host explains that a grand jury determines probable cause in secret with the defense not present, while a preliminary hearing is a public proceeding where the defense can present evidence to challenge probable cause, primarily used in cases charged by complaint or information.
