Rough Day In Court

Practically all year, elected officials in Oregon have been trying to solve a puzzle: How can they ensure the enigmatic new owner of the Trail Blazers doesn’t attempt to take the team elsewhere, but not lose the public’s metaphorical shirt in the process? We now have a basic idea of what that approach looks like. This week – after a fair amount of drama – the Portland City Council finalized the terms the city will seek in exchange for funding a renovation of the Moda Center. If all goes as planned, they’ll join the state and Multnomah County in funding that roughly $600 million dollar project.

yler Robinson's defense filed its written bindover argument on August 11, 2026, responding to the state's 28-page memorandum asking Judge Tony Graf to order Robinson to stand trial. The defense filing was submitted after the five-day preliminary hearing, during which Robinson's lawyers challenged several important parts of the prosecution's evidentiary presentation, particularly the reliability and interpretation of forensic evidence. During that hearing, the defense called FBI and ATF forensic witnesses and questioned the reliability and subjectivity of portions of the DNA analysis, while also emphasizing that Robinson had not emerged as an investigative suspect until he surrendered. The defense had previously highlighted the ATF finding that the bullet jacket fragment recovered during the autopsy could not be conclusively identified as having been fired from the rifle authorities linked to Robinson. Those issues formed the factual backdrop to the defense's argument against bindover.The central defense position was that prosecutors were asking the court to move Robinson into a capital murder trial even though significant weaknesses remained in the evidence used to identify him as the shooter and connect the recovered weapon to the killing. That stood directly against the prosecution's position that Robinson's alleged admissions, DNA evidence, surveillance footage and witness testimony made the bindover determination exceptionally straightforward. Importantly, the dispute was not about whether the state had proven Robinson guilty beyond a reasonable doubt; Judge Graf was deciding whether prosecutors had presented probable cause sufficient to send the seven charges to trial, a considerably lower legal threshold. Robinson's defense was therefore attempting to persuade Graf that weaknesses exposed during the preliminary hearing were substantial enough that the state had not satisfied even that standard, while prosecutors argued that Robinson's alleged admissions and the corroborating forensic and video evidence easily cleared it. The state is scheduled to file its rebuttal on August 18, with oral arguments before Graf set for September 1.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Episode 318: Former pro athlete Josh Young joins the Safety Leadership Collective to explain how leadership, environment and belief shape behavior and organizational culture. He connects lessons from high-performance sports to workplace safety, arguing leaders must demonstrate values, create psychological safety, and prioritize people to drive safer outcomes. The episode highlights practical steps—shift from punitive accountability to growth-based accountability, probe daily behaviors instead of only celebrating outcomes, and encourage speaking up to prevent normalization of risk.

Ben Wikler, the former Wisconsin Democratic Party chair and author of the new book This Is the Plan joins the Chuck Toddcast to argue that Democrats keep making the same category error: they keep winning change elections and then failing to deliver change, because they're trying to fix policy without first fixing the system that determines who gets to make policy. Wikler's framing is memorable and a little cheeky — you have to win the ring of power and then cast it into Mount Doom — but his point is serious. When the right wins power, it immediately restructures the system to entrench itself; Democrats win and then govern as though the rules are fixed. His plan runs through the state level, where free and fair elections are actually secured, and demands ending the filibuster and reforming the Supreme Court, including term limits for justices, because campaign finance reform is impossible without a Court willing to allow it. Wikler argues America is in the greatest period of political instability in its history, that inequality now exceeds the Gilded Age, that gerrymandering has left millions of people without a meaningful vote, and that both party bases increasingly want to fight more than they want to win — while swing and non-voters have simply given up on the system itself. He rejects the tired rebuilders-versus-renovators binary: FDR's Social Security pitch was a huge swing, incrementalism was the only path to Obamacare, and the actual art of politics is starting from values and vision and then figuring out what can pass. The conversation gets specific about Wisconsin and about trust. Wikler pushes back on the idea that Francesca Hong is too "Madison" for a statewide race, notes she's spent years traveling and listening across the state, and calls Tom Tiffany an election denier who is genuinely beatable in a cycle where affordability is the central issue. He and Chuck work through the puzzle of why Tony Evers' calm, steady approach succeeded where Biden's didn't — Evers came out forcefully against Dobbs, and, more fundamentally, you have to convince a majority of voters that government can actually work, which means doing what you said you'd do and then relentlessly telling people you did it. Wikler points to pandemic relief as the cautionary tale: those programs dramatically improved life for lower-income voters, the child tax credit cut child poverty in half, and then it all expired and Democrats got punished for the loss rather than credited for the gain — with an extension that had bipartisan support dying anyway, because the filibuster exists largely to deprive the other side of a win. He credits Ken Martin for investing in state parties, argues Democrats don't need a 50-state strategy so much as fifty different state strategies since the coalition looks different everywhere, and concedes that Trump has been the most successful Republican of this era, spawning an army of mini-mes modeling themselves on him. And yes, Chuck asks the obvious question — why not run for Senate yourself? Thanks to the sponsors of The Chuck ToddCast: Upgrade your everyday.

Chuck Todd unpacks David Crowley's astonishing photo-finish win over Francesca Hong in Wisconsin — a race Crowley dropped out of, re-entered with Tony Evers' backing, and then won by roughly 3,200 votes — and argues national Democrats are far more relieved than they'll ever admit. Had Hong won, she'd have become a face of the party while being forced to spend the fall answering for past statements about defunding police, abolishing prisons, and canceling Thanksgiving rather than talking about the economy, handing Republicans an absurdly easy story to tell. Chuck credits Tony Evers for refusing to fence-sit and mounting what amounted to an emergency rescue operation, while noting Crowley isn't remotely "establishment" — he came from genuinely modest roots and ran a campaign largely defined by what he wasn't. Chuck identifies Hong's central unforced error as nationalizing her race in the closing weeks, a fundraising-driven instinct in an era where media appearances increasingly function as fundraising appeals, forgetting that the national online audience and the local electorate are not the same people. Mamdani stayed disciplined and won; Hong drifted into boutique cultural debates and lost. But Chuck cautions against reading this as a repudiation of the left: Peggy Flanagan won in Minnesota, progressives are doing better this cycle than they have in years, and the 2027 House will be younger and slightly further left. The real structural lesson is that progressives struggle in higher-turnout and open primaries, still face a persistent obstacle with African American primary voters, and — most tellingly — keep getting rejected by the working-class voters they orient their entire message toward, which is more than a messaging glitch. Abdul El-Sayed emerges a quiet winner here, now much harder to lump in with the DSA, and Chuck notes that neither AOC nor Bernie ever endorsed Hong. The rest of the monologue is a run of results that keep pointing the same direction. Trump-endorsed candidates keep losing primaries: Mike Lindell was trounced in Minnesota, Darline Graham didn't clear a third of the vote and is no lock in her runoff, and Chuck's read is that Trump's grip is measurably slipping. Fourteen-term Congressman John Larson lost his primary, part of the highest incumbent-loss rate since 1970 — in a genuine wave, Chuck says, the House could see north of 25% turnover. On Iran, he echoes Chris Christie's warning that this war turns Trump into Jimmy Carter: Iran has issued a list of demands that amounts to an "F you" ransom note, is openly watching the American election calendar and timing its moves accordingly, and — just as in 1980 — the humiliation itself is the point. All of it, Chuck notes, was Trump's own choice. He closes somewhere unexpected: giving Mark Zuckerberg genuine credit. In his 6,500-word manifesto, Zuckerberg argued that the real danger of AI is the concentration of power, writing that hoping an absolute power will benevolently provide for humanity has historically never ended well — and committing Meta to a review process before models go public. Chuck notes the argument is being made by a deeply self-interested party and that the important parts got buried in what was really a debate with Sam Altman, but he singles out one thing worth emulating: Meta funneling data center tax revenue back into teacher bonuses and job training. Communities hosting this infrastructure have to win too, and he hopes more tech CEOs adopt that philosophy. Then, Ben Wikler, the former Wisconsin Democratic Party chair and author of the new book This Is the Plan joins the Chuck Toddcast to argue that Democrats keep making the same category error: they keep winning change elections and then failing to deliver change, because they're trying to fix policy without first fixing the system that determines who gets to make policy.

We squeeze in one more episode before Will's vacation, tying the single-season record in the process. The mailbag then demands a reckoning on whether Magneto's powers are really limited to ferrous metals, along with the origins of the S tier and the truth-value of conditional predictions. The main event is Hunter v. United States, which holds that a plea bargain's appeal waiver is unenforceable when enforcing it would work a "miscarriage of justice." We try to figure out where that rule could possibly come from — contract law? Rule 11? the supervisory power? procedural common law? — and why an opinion this law-free commanded this much agreement, while the separate writings range from a declaration of war on plea bargaining itself to a hunt for a sounder source of authority. Along the way: a field trip to the shuttered taproom of Ybarra v. Illinois fame, and thanks to the expanding Divided Argument production universe.Highlights[00:00:21] Opening: squeezing in one more before Will's vacation — and tying the single-season episode record.[00:01:42] The only Court news: Trump v.

On December 20th, 2022, a doctor at Women and Infants Hospital in Providence looked at Lindsay Clancy's medication list and decided she was too medicated to safely enter their postpartum program. That doctor picked up a phone and called the nurse practitioner prescribing them. Nobody answered. Nobody called back. Thirty-five days later her three children were dead.Today that nurse practitioner testified, and Kevin Reddington read her the note.Day 11 in Plymouth Superior Court, on what happened to be Lindsay Clancy's 36th birthday. Julie Paul retook the stand and got a one-minute cross that was more devastating than any of the grillings that came before it. Rebecca Jollotta, the psychiatric nurse practitioner who inherited Clancy's care in November 2022, spent nearly the entire day answering for a treatment record she only ever saw a fraction of. And before the jury walked in, Judge William Sullivan heard argument on whether a former McLean Hospital social worker who posted about the trial on TikTok can testify about holiday staffing on a psychiatric unit.I go through the MyChart messages Clancy sent her provider in December, in her own words, in real time. I go through the bipolar question and the 5K that nobody knew about. And I get into the detail nobody else is covering: Jollotta could not get her patient's psychiatrist notes, could not get the McLean records, and did not know about fourteen psychiatric appointments, but she could pull every controlled substance Clancy had ever been dispensed in Massachusetts in about ninety seconds. We built one interoperable health database in this country. We built the one that watches you.Also in here: why blaming HIPAA for this is a myth, with the actual regulation cited. Why there are five inpatient perinatal psychiatric programs in the entire United States and forty-five states have none. And why every provider on that witness stand is also a defendant in a civil suit over the same care.***This episode is not editedBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-unfiltered-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilRobin's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/robin_wstdTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.TikTok: tiktok.com/@wesawthedevilpolitics

Lindsay Clancy, the 34-year-old Duxbury, Massachusetts mother accused of strangling her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home on January 24, 2023, sat in court today for some of the most difficult testimony of the trial so far. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorney, Kevin Reddington, is mounting an insanity defense built on claims of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Today the courtroom heard from three witnesses. Nichole Bradley, Assistant Deputy Superintendent with the Plymouth County Sheriff's Department, testified about providing security watch at Clancy's hospital room following her alleged suicide attempt. Then came the harder part. Renee Stonebridge, neuropathology-trained and with the Chief Medical Examiner's Office, testified that all three children died of asphyxia, with significant brain swelling caused by lack of oxygen and blood flow. Dr. Barbara Olson, who performed the autopsies on Cora and Dawson, testified that bruising on Cora was recent — though she couldn't pin down exactly when it occurred — and that both children would have felt pain as they lost consciousness during strangulation. Mechanical asphyxiation, she confirmed, killed them both.Court had to recess more than once as Clancy reacted emotionally to the testimony.After the killings, Clancy allegedly attempted to jump from a second-story window and is now paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was out running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to run several more weeks.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The President did not file for reconsideration of the Court's decision in Trump v. Barbara, but the President nevertheless doesn't let the Constitution rest, issuing two new executive orders that purport to extend the set of persons not receiving birthright citizenship upon their birth, among other things. We take a look.  Meanwhile, our review of the Roberts Court's important constitutional cases brings us back to the Affirmative Action cases, and we take a look at them three years in.  Finally, another listener question takes us to yet another corner of the constitutional canon - and Akhil is ready even without advance notice.  CLE is available for lawyers and judges from podcast.njsba.com.

Hot Take Court Vol. 6 is in session. Three cases. No mercy. And one of them is personal. John Cash puts three of the most talked-about stories of the moment on trial — with evidence, arguments, and verdicts that are going to make you argue with your phone, your partner, and possibly your HR department. Case #1: Dolph Lundgren & The $60,000 Understanding The internet called it a cheating fee. A formal arrangement. A negotiated prenup clause. That's not what this was. Dolph Lundgren sat down with journalist Graham Bensinger for a two-day interview and explained that during his first marriage, he cheated and his ex-wife Anette Qviberg responded by spending sixty thousand dollars a month on his credit card. No contract. No conversation. Just a silent financial system sustained by mutual understanding for sixteen years. He called it 'a classic.' This court has a different name for it. And the difference matters more than you think. Case #2: The Bachelor's Degree In Content Creation — And Why John Has Receipts One of America's top party schools launched a four-year degree in content creation. Student loans. A diploma. For posting. John Cash is not approaching this case from the outside. He is a content creator. This episode is content he created. And what he went through to keep creating it — the radio stations, the studios, the eighty-seven-view clips, a house fire, two weeks in a hotel, two hours of walking to work every morning just to quiet his mind, people calling him a failure during the hardest stretch of his life, and people with five followers telling him they should be on his show — none of that is in any degree program. This case is a testimony. And it has been a long time coming. Case #3: Laura Tait, Holiday Extras & The Camera-On Ruling Laura Tait has a documented anxiety disorder. She asked her UK employer Holiday Extras for two accommodations: camera off in meetings and fewer voice calls. They said no. She went to an employment tribunal in South London. She won. The company whose entire business is making travel less stressful for customers could not apply that same principle to their own employee. If you have ever white-knuckled through a video call with your camera off and your anxiety up — this case has a ruling with your name on it. Three cases. One through-line. And two words that close the whole thing. Mind the gap. New episodes of The John Cash Show Follow so you never miss a session of Hot Take Court. Connect with John Cash: www.TheJohnCashShow.com

In 2023, Edmonton Police expanded online reporting to include hate incidents—conduct that is not a crime—and allowed reports to be filed on behalf of someone else. In 2024, Crime Stoppers, EPS and the Government of Alberta launched buses displaying: "See hate. Report hate." In 2026, Parliament passed Bill C-9 with Liberal and Bloc support despite opposition from the Conservatives, NDP, Greens and more than 40 civil society organizations, including the CBA, CCLA, CLC and Egale.Britain adopted a similar system in 2014. Since then, police have recorded 133,000+ non-crime hate incidents. In 2023, 37 police forces made 12,183 arrests over electronic communications, with fewer than 1,119 convictions. In 2021, the Court of Appeal ruled the recording guidance had a chilling effect on free expression.**This episode examines that history, explains what Bill C-9 actually changed, corrects two claims circulating online that describe the bill as introduced rather than as passed, and explains why I believe these developments matter.

In this episode, we review whether a suspect's statement, “I would like to speak to a lawyer, but um, yeah,” was an unequivocal invocation of the right to counsel under Article 31, UCMJ principles. We examine how the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces applied Edwards v. Arizona and Davis v. United States, and how the majority and dissent split over whether the words “but um, yeah” were meaningless filler words or introduced genuine ambiguity into the invocation. We provide takeaways for practitioners on evaluating motions to suppress based on the precise wording of a client's request for counsel.

yler Robinson's defense filed its written bindover argument on August 11, 2026, responding to the state's 28-page memorandum asking Judge Tony Graf to order Robinson to stand trial. The defense filing was submitted after the five-day preliminary hearing, during which Robinson's lawyers challenged several important parts of the prosecution's evidentiary presentation, particularly the reliability and interpretation of forensic evidence. During that hearing, the defense called FBI and ATF forensic witnesses and questioned the reliability and subjectivity of portions of the DNA analysis, while also emphasizing that Robinson had not emerged as an investigative suspect until he surrendered. The defense had previously highlighted the ATF finding that the bullet jacket fragment recovered during the autopsy could not be conclusively identified as having been fired from the rifle authorities linked to Robinson. Those issues formed the factual backdrop to the defense's argument against bindover.The central defense position was that prosecutors were asking the court to move Robinson into a capital murder trial even though significant weaknesses remained in the evidence used to identify him as the shooter and connect the recovered weapon to the killing. That stood directly against the prosecution's position that Robinson's alleged admissions, DNA evidence, surveillance footage and witness testimony made the bindover determination exceptionally straightforward. Importantly, the dispute was not about whether the state had proven Robinson guilty beyond a reasonable doubt; Judge Graf was deciding whether prosecutors had presented probable cause sufficient to send the seven charges to trial, a considerably lower legal threshold. Robinson's defense was therefore attempting to persuade Graf that weaknesses exposed during the preliminary hearing were substantial enough that the state had not satisfied even that standard, while prosecutors argued that Robinson's alleged admissions and the corroborating forensic and video evidence easily cleared it. The state is scheduled to file its rebuttal on August 18, with oral arguments before Graf set for September 1.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Supreme Court ruled. The administration lost. Six weeks later, President Trump was back with two new executive orders and a new legal strategy. In this episode of The Valley Current®, host Jack Russo examines the escalating constitutional battle over birthright citizenship and a calculated tactic known as "iterative narrowing": keep rewriting the policy, narrow the target, and force the courts to reveal exactly where the constitutional boundary lies. The new orders take two very different approaches, one testing whether historical exceptions can be stretched to terrorists and foreign agents, the other attacking "birth tourism" through visa enforcement. One may be headed for an immediate judicial blockade. The other could prove much harder to stop. Either way, the next courtroom showdown could determine not only who is entitled to citizenship, but how aggressively a president can test the limits of Supreme Court precedent.

NBC's Natalie Migliore reports on the latest involving the man who allegedly murdered UHC CEO Brian Thompson

The Law Commission for England and Wales is currently consulting on reform of the antiquated common law of homicide (murder and manslaughter) with a view to addressing long-standing criticisms that the current legal system is outdated, overly complex and fails accurately and fairly to distinguish between varying degrees of culpability (https://lawcom.gov.uk/project/law-of-homicide/). On Double Jeopardy, Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC provide expert legal commentary on the implications for UK law and politics of fundamental change to homicide law and sentencing in discussion with the Law Commissioner for Criminal Law, Professor Penney Lewis. How many people realise that a person can be convicted of the substantive offence of murder on the basis of an intent merely to cause serious injury whereas the offence of attempted murder requires proof of a specific intention to kill? Will the Law Commission's proposal to replace the current two-tier system with a structured three-tier hierarchy of general homicide offences (first degree murder, second degree murder and manslaughter) make it easier for the public to understand why the mandatory life sentence is reserved for the most serious homicide offences? Should a jury continue to define for itself what degree of carelessness amounts to the serious crime of gross negligence manslaughter? And should the understandable grief and rage of the relatives of victims of homicide influence the difficult charging decisions that the Crown Prosecution Service must make in those cases where mental illness obviously explains the homicidal motive? Ken and Tim are then joined by former Court of Appeal Judge and President of the Kalisher Trust, Dame Anne Rafferty, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Kalisher Trust which has, for the last three decades promoted social mobility, diversity and excellence at the Criminal Bar (https://www.thekalishertrust.org/).   --   Covering the critical intersections of politics and law in the UK with expert commentary on high-profile legal cases, political controversies, prisons and sentencing, human rights law, current political events and the shifting landscape of justice and democracy. With in-depth discussions and influential guests, Double Jeopardy is the podcast that uncovers the forces shaping Britain's legal and political future.    ​ What happens when politics and law collide? How do politics shape the law - and when does the law push back? What happens when judicial independence is tested, human rights come under attack, or freedom o expression is challenged? And who really holds power in Britain's legal and political system?  Get answers to questions like these weekly on Wednesdays.   ​ Double Jeopardy is presented by Ken Macdonald KC, former Director of Public Prosecutions, and Tim Owen KC, as they break down the legal and political issues in Britain. From high-profile legal cases to the evolving state of British democracy, Double Jeopardy offers expert legal commentary on the most pressing topics in UK law, politics, and human rights.    ​ Ken Macdonald KC served as Director of Public Prosecutions from 2003 2008, shaping modern prosecutorial policy and advocating for the rule of law. He is a former Warden of Wadham College, Oxford, a crossbench member of the House of Lords, and a leading writer, commentator and broadcaster on politics and the rule of law. ​ Tim Owen KC has been involved in many of the most significant public, criminal and human rights law cases over the past four decades.  Both bring unparalleled experience from the frontline of Britain's legal and political landscape. ​ If you like The Rest Is Politics, Talking Politics, Law Pod UK and Today i Focus, you'll love Double Jeopardy.

I am pretty sure you didn't catch the article in the Somm Journal written by David Schulner. And if you did, you were not as jealous as I was. Well, let's call it inspired. Trading the glitz of Hollywood for the chaos of the restaurant floor, David Schulner doesn't just pour wine—he pours gasoline on the genteel myths swirling around it. You'll hear what happens when a successful TV showrunner, fresh off the picket lines of the 2023 writers' strike, crashes headfirst into the closed ranks of Michelin-star restaurants. Forget those dreamy drone shots over gleaming vineyards; David Schulner exposes the cutthroat realities of wine service, the humiliations of being the new kid at 50, and why, even with a TV resumé, you can't buy your way onto the restaurant floor. If you still think wine is all velvet gloves and romantic stories, think again—this is one guest who's happy to spill the dirty secrets, right alongside the Pomerol. In this episode, you'll discover what hospitality really means in an industry obsessed with pedigree, why most people—Sommeliers included—are entirely faking it, and who gets left behind when Napa and Bordeaux "evolve." David Schulner and Paul Kalemkiarian aren't afraid to torch the sacred cows of the wine world, from pretentious tasting rooms to the sanitized myths of customer service. Instead of parroting the party line, you'll get a front-row seat to the raw, awkward, ego-bruising reality of what it takes to serve, sell, and survive when the masks come off. If you're tired of wine podcasts that sound like a sommelier's TED Talk—or shows that make the industry look like a playground for privileged insiders—this conversation will rattle your cage. David Schulner lays bare why most restaurants won't hire a middle-aged rookie with Hollywood connections, why real hospitality is an act of rebellion against wine snobbery, and how every industry he's loved is "on the death knell"—and that's exactly what makes them magic. The result? An unfiltered, sometimes uncomfortable, ultimately inspiring blueprint for anyone who's ever wondered if there's a place for outsiders in one of the world's most insular trades. You won't just walk away with surface-level talking points. You'll come away with forbidden knowledge and questions that might keep you up at night.

Most people assume divorce means courtrooms, legal battles, and losing control of the outcome, but Karen McMahon knows that's not always true. In this episode of the Journey Beyond Divorce Podcast, Karen sits down with Cary Jacobson, a collaborative divorce attorney, mediator, and child advocate, to break down every path to divorce outside of litigation and help listeners understand which one actually fits their situation. Karen and Cary walk through the full spectrum of options, from do-it-yourself kitchen table agreements and settlement negotiation between attorneys, to mediation, to the collaborative divorce process, where both spouses commit to a team-based approach with collaboratively trained attorneys, financial neutrals, and mental health professionals working together toward resolution. They explain how each option works, who it's best suited for, and the real risks of going the DIY route without legal guidance, especially when children, retirement assets, or property division are involved. The conversation dives deep into what makes collaborative divorce unique, including the participation agreement that requires full transparency and commits both parties to staying out of court, and why Karen believes collaborative divorce can be especially powerful in high-conflict situations, cases involving substance abuse, or divorces involving young children. Karen and Cary also unpack how mediation works, when a consulting attorney should be brought in alongside a mediator, and how power imbalances between spouses can shape which process will actually lead to a fair outcome. Karen closes the conversation with a reminder central to everything Journey Beyond Divorce stands for: every person going through divorce is the CEO of their own case, with the right and responsibility to understand their options, ask questions, and choose the process, whether that's mediation, collaborative divorce, settlement negotiation, or litigation, that will protect their family's future. Cary Jacobson is a collaborative divorce attorney, mediator, and child advocate, and the founder of Jacobson Family Law.

Two and a half years ago, was the last time I recorded an episode for Journey to Limitless Podcast. At the time, life was asking me to let go of everything, fully immerse myself in a season of the unknown, and allow life to rock me to my core.I didn't understand why. I just intuitively knew it was what I needed to do.And somewhere in all of that unknown, my life began to radically shift.In the very first episode of Boldly Alive, I'm taking you behind the scenes of the last two and a half years-why I walked away from podcasting, what those seasons of unknown asked of me, and the journey that ultimately led me here.We're talking about letting go when you don't know what's on the other side, getting radically honest with yourself about what life is asking of you, finding the magic in the mess, and having the courage to take the bold leaps toward the life you actually desire.Because sometimes, we have to be willing to let go of what we're holding so tightly to- to make space for what's even more aligned. TO LIVE BOLDLY ALIVE IS A DECLARATION.It's choosing every day to not sit on the sidelines of our own lives.It's having the courage to tell ourselves the truth, and then being bold enough to do something about it.It's saying yes to what expands you, no to what no longer aligns, and leaning into the edge, knowing there's something for you on the other side.It's finding the magic in the mess, trusting that even the seasons that break us are shaping who we're becoming.This is Boldly Alive.And we're just getting started.This podcast is in honor of Janelle Orsborn, who radically shifted my life.March 2, 1992 – February 16, 2026Janelle was one of my greatest reminders of what it truly means to live boldly alive.

“You haven't proved the shares' value, so we need a receiver!”___P, D3, and D4 were equal 1/3 shareholders in a defence consulting Co. P sought a s 233 order that D3 and D4 buy its shares: [1], [2], [9]There were disputes between the dirs (each controlling P, D3, and D4) in managing the Co: [3] – [43]In late 2024 the Co was invited to tender for defence work. D3 and D4 were unimpressed with P's contribution calling P “a complete dud”: [65] – [71]D3 and D4 relied on ChatGPT to guide their removal of P – “not a prudent choice of adviser…”: [73], [77], [82], [83]ChatGPT's output was employment focused; silent on corporate risks: [86], [93]The plan, which was executed in essence, was to gradually exclude P and to withhold dividends: [88], [121]Following this plan, D3 and D4 conducted meetings and sent emails incorrectly framing as employment only: [89] – [98]P removed D3's and D4's access to the Co's Xero account: [99]The erosion of trust and confidence justified a s 461(1)(k) winding up orders, and amounted to oppression: [113]Further steps were taken to exclude P from a role at the Co, including directing P not to present to a new client: [116] – [129]In May 2025 P's lawyers wrote to the D3, D4, and the Co making complaints upheld and accepted by the Ds in XX. No remedial steps were taken: [161], [162]On 14 May 2025 proceedings were commenced. D3 and D4 set a meeting for 7.30am the following day, apparently to frustrate P's application: [163] – [167]D3's and D4's conduct, combined with the litigation, saw P's role at the Co further reduced: [174]D3 and D4 took steps (in relation to IT and external contractors) that required unanimous approval without P's consent: [178]D3 and D4 executed a contract between the Co and an external sub-Co they controlled, for provision of services: [189]Oppression was established noting the exclusion of P in the absence of a genuine offer to buy P's shares; and in respect of the dividend strategy allowing D3 and D4 to be paid while P was not: [265]The Court found it could not accept either valuer's evidence as to share value – leaving no finding made as to the valuation of P's shares, and so no ability to make a buyout order: [285], [315]The Court was unmoved by one expert's methodology; and disagreed with the way the other expert dealt with the “only one client who can terminate for convenience risk” of working for defence: [316]A share buyback did not arise as the Co did not appear: [320]After considering appointment of a receiver to sell the shares at length, and noting the Co was a viable one, the Court concluded a receiver was the best alternative: [340]Orders appointing a receiver to sell the shares were made: [351]

Something happened in the Lindsay Clancy trial that legal analysts didn't expect from a prosecution witness — an admission that may have done more for the defense than for the state. I break it down along with everything else that unfolded across the Commonwealth's case.Thirteen psychiatric medications, all within therapeutic range — that's the prosecution's headline fact, the one they want the jury fixated on. It's supposed to mean she was lucid. It doesn't mean what they think it means, and their own expert said so under cross-examination.Day 8 alone produced eleven witnesses, all called by the state. A medical examiner detailed how 8-month-old Callan died. Lindsay Clancy broke down hard enough at the defense table that the judge halted the hearing until she composed herself. The family's pediatrician recounted a completely unremarkable checkup with 5-year-old Cora hours before the deaths. Coworkers and friends testified to insomnia, brain fog, a rotating list of medications, and time spent at McLean Hospital. Patrick Clancy's own father took the stand and called her a great mother.Then the case detective was asked about a search warrant on her Facebook account, hunting for any sign of abuse in the home. He confirmed it turned up nothing.Her journal entries were read into the record — lines about drowning, about barely holding on. The prosecution reads those words as premeditation. The defense reads them as a woman's mind unraveling in real time, on paper, before anyone stepped in. Defense attorney Kevin Reddington has conceded what happened. What he's fighting is whether Massachusetts can prove she was sane beyond a reasonable doubt. I walk through where that fight stands now.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

On August 1, 2026, detectives believe 37-year-old Aaron F. Farinacci deliberately started the Old Trails Fire in North Spokane County.  His alleged actions burned more than 3,200 acres and destroyed 694 homes.  Court documents say Farinacci admitted to starting that fire and more than 20 others because he finds fire "powerful" and "beautiful."  He's currently facing five counts of first-degree arson as detectives continue to investigate other unsolved crimes.  In this episode, we dig into the case against him and what could come next.
