On this episode of Gin & Justice, with heavy hearts we announce that we will be taking a step back from the podcast. For awhile we will not be releasing any new episodes but we will be keeping all prior episodes live.  Life has thrown us some wild curveballs this last year and we've both been feeling overwhelmed and that we didn't have the time and energy each of our episodes deserves. We never want to sell these stories short, or as Amanda says "we don't want to ever half ass this, we want to always whole ass it."We are still reachable through our emails and socials. Please continue to reach out, and please don't stop sharing these stories and spreading the information needed to create the change we all need.Farewell for now, not forever.xoxo- G&J  Oh, we also talk about Alabama, and their terrible Death Penalty choices.Alabama's upcoming gas execution could harm witnesses and violate religious liberty:https://www.npr.org/2023/12/12/1218591962/alabamas-upcoming-gas-execution-could-harm-witnesses-and-violate-religious-liberAlabama's new execution method could be dangerous for everyone in the room: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/lethal-injection-alabama-kenneth-smith-b2464318.htmlDon't forget to leave us a review and follow us on social media!https://www.ginandjusticepodcast.comhttps://www.facebook.com/GinAndJustice/IG: @ginandjusticepodcastTwitter: Gin_JusticePodTikTok: Gin_and_Justice

On this episode of Gin and Justice, the gals first go over some cocktail recipes, then they chat with David Beers.  David served in the United States Marine Corps, New York State Police as a trooper where he worked his way up to investigator, was wrongfully accused, then cleared of wrongdoing, before eventually going private. With his collective experience as a police officer, defendant, and now as a private investigator, Beers developed a unique perspective of the criminal justice system. Starting from scratch, he organized and started his own investigative business he would justly name; New Perspective Investigations, specializing in criminal defense investigation and consulting. Since then, he has worked on numerous high-profile murder cases, including the ones he now writes about. For more on David and to purchase the books:https://www.davidmbeers.com/Don't forget to leave us a review and follow us on social media!https://www.ginandjusticepodcast.comhttps://www.facebook.com/GinAndJustice/IG: @ginandjusticepodcastTwitter: Gin_JusticePodTikTok: Gin_and_Justice

It's the last Legal Brief of the month, so you know what that means! Justine and Amanda tell you about all the people added to The National Exoneration Registry."The National Registry of Exonerations is a project of the Newkirk Center for Science & Society at University of California Irvine, the University of Michigan Law School and Michigan State University College of Law. It was founded in 2012 in conjunction with the Center on Wrongful Convictions at Northwestern University School of Law. The Registry provides detailed information about every known exoneration in the United States since 1989—cases in which a person was wrongly convicted of a crime and later cleared of all the charges based on new evidence of innocence. The Registry also maintains a more limited database of known exonerations prior to 1989."For more information of the National Registry of Exonerations:https://www.law.umich.edu/special/exoneration/Pages/about.aspxRICHARD KWIL:https://www.law.umich.edu/special/exoneration/Pages/casedetail.aspx?caseid=6581ANTHONY HALL:https://www.law.umich.edu/special/exoneration/Pages/casedetail.aspx?caseid=6588PATRICK BROWN:https://www.law.umich.edu/special/exoneration/Pages/casedetail.aspx?caseid=6591BILLY FAIRCLOTH:https://www.law.umich.edu/special/exoneration/Pages/casedetail.aspx?caseid=6576DAVID WRIGHT:https://www.law.umich.edu/special/exoneration/Pages/casedetail.aspx?caseid=6578NORBERTO PEETS:https://www.law.umich.edu/special/exoneration/Pages/casedetail.aspx?caseid=6592Don't forget to leave us a review and follow us on social media!https://www.ginandjusticepodcast.comhttps://www.facebook.com/GinAndJustice/IG: @ginandjusticepodcastTwitter: Gin_JusticePodTikTok: Gin_and_Justice

This week on Gin & Justice, Amanda first tells us about some of the new laws targeting the trans population and youth, including criminal penalties for using bathrooms.  Justine then brings us back through a case analysis of the case Kennedy v. Louisiana, 554 U.S. 407 (2008).  This is the case which built off of Coker v. Georgia, in which the US Supreme Court held it was unconstitutional and a violation of the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to sentence an individual to the death penalty for sexual assault of a minor. Despite the US Supreme Court analyzing this, Florida has recently reenacted a statute the provides for the death penalty for sexual battery of a child, a penalty even the Florida Supreme Court has found unconstitutional in 1981.  So much for stare decisis.  Don't forget to leave us a review and follow us on social media!https://www.ginandjusticepodcast.comhttps://www.facebook.com/GinAndJustice/IG: @ginandjusticepodcastTwitter: Gin_JusticePodTikTok: Gin_and_Justice
