Georgia, the United States Supreme Court declared all existing death penalty laws in the country to be invalid. The decision was reached with a 5-4 vote, with each justice in the majority providing a separate opinion. The Court ruled that the death penalty, as applied at the time, violated the Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. The decision led to a de facto moratorium on capital punishment throughout the United States until the case of Gregg v. Georgia in 1976, which allowed for the reinstatement of the death penalty. Furman v. Georgia also resulted in the invalidation of the death penalty for rape in the consolidated cases of Jackson v. Georgia and Branch v. Texas. The Court had intended to include another case, Aikens v. California, but it was dismissed as moot due to a separate ruling in California that deemed the death penalty unconstitutional under the state's constitution. In Furman, the justices in the majority expressed concerns about the arbitrary and discriminatory application of the death penalty, with Justices Stewart, White, and Douglas highlighting the racial bias in its imposition. Justices Brennan and Marshall went further, arguing that the death penalty itself was inherently cruel and unusual punishment and incompatible with evolving societal standards of decency. Marshall also raised concerns about the possibility of wrongful executions due to errors and perjury.The Florida Board of Bar Examiners has announced that it will not use the new version of the bar exam, known as the NextGen Bar Exam, when it is introduced in July 2026. Instead, Florida will continue to use its current bar exam format in 2026 and make a decision later on whether to adopt the NextGen exam after that. The board stated that incoming law students should be aware of the test they will be taking when they graduate in 2026, and this decision will also help law schools in planning their curriculum. The National Conference of Bar Examiners, which is developing the NextGen Bar Exam, agrees that clarity for examinees is important and respects Florida's decision. Florida is the fourth-largest jurisdiction for the bar exam in the United States and the first to publicly announce its position on the format of the July 2026 test. Other states, including California, have also expressed skepticism about the new bar exam and are considering alternative options. The NextGen Bar Exam aims to create a more integrated exam that focuses on legal skills rather than memorization of laws.Florida says no to new bar exam, for now | ReutersAMC Entertainment Holdings and retail investors known for their involvement in meme stocks will face off in a two-day court hearing in Delaware over a stock conversion plan. The court will consider approving a class action settlement worth an estimated $129 million, which would resolve allegations that AMC rigged a shareholder vote against common stockholders. The conversion plan would dilute common stock ownership but help the company pay down its debt. AMC has warned of its precarious financial situation and the potential for bankruptcy without the ability to raise capital, pending the resolution of the litigation. The settlement has faced objections from over 2,800 individuals seeking to opt out and sue separately, dismissing AMC's financial predictions as fear tactics. The investors leading the lawsuit argue that the settlement compensates common stockholders without jeopardizing AMC's future, and they urge the judge to reject the objections. AMC operates over 900 theaters globally and has expressed optimism about future box office sales.AMC, 'meme' investors to face off in court over stock conversion | ReutersCryptocurrency exchange FTX has filed a lawsuit against its former top lawyer, Daniel Friedberg, accusing him of aiding fraud committed by company founder Sam Bankman-Fried and suppressing reports of wrongdoing within the company. The complaint, filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware, alleges that Friedberg acted as a "fixer" for FTX executives, enabling the misappropriation of customer funds. FTX claims that Friedberg settled employee complaints by paying inflated amounts and even hired law firms that represented whistleblowers to work for FTX. The lawsuit accuses Friedberg of legal malpractice and breaching his fiduciary duty, seeking the return of millions of dollars' worth of cryptocurrency and other compensation. FTX filed for bankruptcy in 2022, and Bankman-Fried has been criminally charged with misusing customer funds. Friedberg has reportedly cooperated with U.S. investigations into the FTX collapse.FTX accuses ex-lawyer of aiding Bankman-Fried's fraud, silencing whistleblowers | ReutersLittler Mendelson, a prominent law firm specializing in labor and employment matters, has been profiting from Starbucks' efforts to combat a unionizing campaign in its coffee shops across the United States. Littler has assigned over 110 attorneys, including more than 50 partners, to represent Starbucks in union-related cases since late 2021. While the exact amount Starbucks is paying Littler remains undisclosed, the significant number of outside lawyers reflects the substantial legal work generated by the company's anti-union drive. Starbucks, with its substantial revenue of over $32 billion in fiscal year 2022, has allocated significant resources to fight the union and defend against allegations of labor law violations. The majority of legal proceedings involve the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), where Starbucks Workers United has won the majority of elections but has yet to reach a collective bargaining agreement with the company. Starbucks has been hit with numerous unfair labor practice charges, and administrative law judges have ruled against the company in most cases. Starbucks has accused the NLRB of bias and collusion with the union. Littler, with its extensive network of offices nationwide, has become Starbucks' go-to law firm for NLRB-related work. The firm's attorneys from various offices have been involved in union-related cases across the country. Littler has built a reputation for advising companies on labor matters and is known for its aggressive approach to defending employers. The firm's expertise aligns with Starbucks' anti-union campaign, which has involved extensive litigation and resistance to union organizing.Littler Cashes in on Starbucks' Sprawling Anti-Union CampaignOpenAI LP, a leading generative artificial intelligence company, is facing a consumer class action lawsuit alleging that it engages in web scraping practices that misappropriate personal data on an extensive scale. The lawsuit claims that OpenAI's popular AI programs, ChatGPT and DALL-E, are trained using "stolen private information" obtained from hundreds of millions of internet users, including children, without proper authorization. The complaint asserts that OpenAI unlawfully accesses personal information from user interactions with its products and through integrations with platforms like Snapchat, Spotify, Stripe, Slack, and Microsoft Teams, enabling the collection of image, location, music preference, financial, and private conversation data. OpenAI is accused of conducting a secretive and massive web scraping operation, violating terms of service agreements, as well as state and federal privacy and property laws. The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, a federal anti-hacking law, is cited in the lawsuit. The complaint includes 16 plaintiffs who used various internet services, including ChatGPT, and believe their personal information was stolen by OpenAI. Microsoft Corp., which is investing in OpenAI, is also named as a defendant in the case.

Artemis is revisiting its best-loved series of all time: A deep dive into ungulate ecology with the scientists at the Montieth Shop. This week we're surfing the green wave! Seasonal mule deer migration is based on food availability. Deer move across the landscape to maximize their access to high-quality food resources. We're joined by migration ecologist Ellen Aikens  to learn more about Wyoming's mule deer populations and how they're challenged by drought, climate change, and energy development.  PLUS: Artemis's long-time partner, South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks is offering an incredible giveaway that includes a guided pheasant hunting trip in South Dakota, a travel voucher to get there, and a $4,000 gift card to Scheel's. Don't miss out!  3:00 - Artemis's first guest to connect from overseas! Plus, moving to Germany during the pandemic 6:30 - Animal research: A generally rewarding endeavor with LOTS of challenges 8:00 A new scientist asks her peers/mentors, What's one of the most important fields to be savvy in? "GIS/remote sensing" comes up again and again 11:00 GPS collars let us see where an individual animal is going, year after year -- it's a bonafide jackpot of data. This field is called "movement ecology" 12:30 Marcia's sage advice: "Do what you enjoy doing until you don't enjoy doing it anymore. Then go do something else." 13:30 Sampling the field April-August to survey which plants are available and when. Documenting the seasonal change from green to brown was revelatory! Plus, KNOWING the place. 17:00 Dynamics in plant growth and seasonal transition influence how animals move 18:00 To study mule deer you need to become versed in the world they live in 20:00 "The green wave" - this idea that for deer and other species, young/emergent plant species are the most nutritious growth. That stage is staggered across an elevational gradient -- and this is the 'green wave' -- moving to find that nutritious feed 22:00 Most mule deer move from a low-elevation winter range to a higher elevation spring/summer range. This is colloquially called 'surfing the green wave' 24:00 Migration isn't a continuous line from Point A to Point B. Mule deer spend about 90% of their time on migration at stopover sites, foraging and eating 27:00 What makes a good stopover? It totally depends. Elevation plays a big role. They're generally places that are more lush than the surrounding area. 30:00 Fall migration: A combination of fleeing cold/snow, plus finding the lushest feed given the season... the "residual greenness" 33:00 Drought has an effect on how well mule deer can surf the green wave, which is shorter; Energy development also affects that migration 35:00 Mule deer in the West have high fidelity to their migration routes 38:00 Mule deer DO move through energy development sites... but they're not able to use those areas to the degree they would if there was no resource development there 39:00 A high-quality study would collect data BEFORE an energy project, DURING it, and AFTER reclamation 45:00 Being migratory is key for mule deer in the Wyoming Range. There ARE resident deer populations, but it's a small fraction (

The movie, The Royal tells the story of former Kansas City Royal slugger Willie Mays Aikens' promising career which quickly turned disastrous because of drug addiction. This comeback story reveals the hardships of drug addiction on Aikens, his family, and how he eventually returns to the KC Royals. Willie sits down with former teammate George Brett to discuss his rise and fall and the lessons he learned about what is most important in life. 

With yet another late-inning, comeback win in Game 5, the Phillies return home to Veterans Stadium just one win away from their first ever World Series. Embattled manager Dallas Green couldn't ask for a better pitcher in Game 6: the best lefty to ever throw a baseball, Steve Carlton (24 - 9 2.34 ERA 304 IP). Slugger Mike Schmidt (game tying run) and ace reliever Tug McGraw (win and 3 scoreless innings of relief) played hero in the ninth inning, and the bottom of the order has consistently provided a spark with defensives whizzes SS Larry Bowa and C Bob Boone hitting like All-Stars. The Royals have played well so far, but they just haven't been able to close games out. An early lead was erased in Game One, and the typically lockdown Dan Quisenberry blew late leads in Games Two and Five, seemingly dooming KC to a potential series loss. Big righty Rich Gale (13 - 9 3.92 ERA 190 IP) gets the nod in an elimination game, though manager Jim Frey will be sure to have all hands on deck with the season on the line. His lineup has put constant pressure on the Philadelphia pitching and defense, though it has perhaps lacked the key hit or knockout blow. The middle of the order (Brett, Aikens, McRae, and Otis) have been phenomenal, but the others (Wilson, Washington, and White) have struggled mightily. Can KC stave off elimination, or will PHI finally break through with a championship? Tune in to an excellent conclusion to this thrilling series. Audio Clips from Youtube.

The Royals were able to prevail in extra innings against the Phillies in a back and forth game three, but now they have to try and do it again just about 12 hours later. This Saturday matinee matchup will be crucial in deciding who will control the series. Kansas City, with a chance to even the series at two games apiece, turn to their workhorse, righty Dennis Leonard (20 - 11 3.79 ERA 280 IP), who is looking to bounce back after a disappointing game one loss. Young Royals slugger Willie Aikens played hero in last night's walk-off victory, and he already has a multi-homer game to his credit in this series. Looking to put themselves on the cusp of a championship, Philadelphia turns to veteran righty Larry Christenson (5 - 1 4.03 ERA 73 IP), though manager Dallas Green has a well rested bullpen to turn to if things go south. The Phillies were able to cash in on RBI opportunities in games one and two (combined 7 for 15 w/RISP), but they struggled in clutch situations in game three, stranding 15 runners (1 for 13 w/RISP). There's no rest for the weary in this World Series, and neither team wants to lend an advantage to the other. Tune in for an explosive game four. Audio Clips from Youtube.

Willie Mays Aikens (born October 14, 1954) is an American professional baseball first baseman who played in Major League Baseball for the California Angels, Kansas City Royals, and Toronto Blue Jays between 1977 and 1985. He had established himself as one of the top sluggers in the game before drugs derailed his career. In 1994, Aikens was sentenced to 20 years in prison on four counts of crack cocaine distribution and one count of use of a firearm during drug trafficking. He was released on June 4, 2008, after changes in federal drug laws, and is sometimes cited as an example of the results of mandatory minimum sentencing in drug-related crimes.

Our Famous Friday Show features two special guests, beginning with former Phillies catcher Erik Kratz. We chat about his playing days, the challenges (and benefits) of being part of over a dozen organizations, and the craft of being a catcher. Kratz, who currently is part of the Phillies' broadcast team, also shares about how his faith in the Lord has been important both professionally and personally. Actor Amin (pronounced "AY-men") Joseph also joins the show to talk about the new movie "The Royal" in which he stars. The film is based on the true story of Willie Mays Aikens, the former Kansas City Royals slugger who hit two home runs in two different games in the 1980 World Series (which the Philadelphia Phillies won 4 games to 2, of course :)). Unfortunately, Aikens' life tumbled into drug addiction and being sentenced to the longest prison sentence ever given to a professional athlete in a drug case. "The Royal" details the long journey of Aikens as, against all odds, he seeks to re-enter civilian life and redemption--with God's help--with his estranged family, friends, the game of baseball and with himself. We cap off our show with yet another rousing rendition of "Now THAT'S Punny!"
