Podcasts about District attorney

In Mary and Andrew's estimation, there is no effort from the Trump administration to say things softly, the quiet part is very much out loud. They begin with the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey by Trump's newly installed U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, Lindsey Halligan, noting how much these targeted charges upend the tradition of a separation between the White House and the Justice Department. The next stop is Portland Oregon, where the president announced his intent to deploy troops to the city in a Saturday Truth Social post, calling it “war ravaged”. Oregon immediately sued to stop the national guard deployment, so Mary and Andrew catch listeners up on where this stands and what to expect. And last, they turn to Trump's domestic terror memorandum, announcing his intent to investigate left-leaning groups he suggests may be funding political violence. Want to listen to this show without ads?

“Where was Daddy, Eric?”-On August 13th, 1986, in the quiet suburbs of Austin, Texas, 3-year-old Eric Morton is found wandering outside alone. When a neighbor recognizes the boy and brings him back home, he makes a terrifying discovery: Eric's mother, Christine, has been murdered. Detectives, and the District Attorney quickly hone in on Michael Morton, Eric's father and Christine's husband, as their prime suspect, but several key pieces of evidence are missing and the police aren't revealing the full story. It will take 25 years, and determined lawyer John Raley, to unlock the hidden memories of a scared little boy, free a wrongfully convicted man, and finally catch Christine's real killer. -Written, directed & edited by Justin ChalifouxResearched by Tiffany LoxtonVoiceover by William AkanaProduced by Alexandra Salois & Salim Sader-Getty ImagesDetective Diaries: Guilty Until Proven Innocent, Breaklight Pictures & The Content Group, 202160 Minutes: Evidence of Innocence: The Case of Michael Morton, CBS News, 2012An Unreal Dream: The Michael Morton Story, Glass House Productions, 2013Michael Morton Interview, Austin American-Statesman, 2014Morton to be released, KXAN News, 2011Anderson gets 10 days in jail, community service, KXAN News, 2013Mark Norwood found guilty of 2nd murder, sentenced to life, KXAN News, 2016Ex-prosecutor Ken Anderson Jailed 3 Days for Misconduct in Sending Innocent Man to 25 Yrs in Prison, Fox7, 2013Michael Morton Freed in Texas, innocenceproject, 2011

The case of the hospital homicide

Fall is here, but the grill is still hot! In this special two-part episode, Lee Thomas sits down with Alameda County District Attorney Ursula Jones Dickson over a spread of BBQ favorites — GrilleeQ tri-tip, Cali chicken thighs, corn on the cob, and honey cornbread.

Jones Dickson also reflects on how youth crime looks different today — and how the pandemic may have left some young people feeling forgotten. "I believe potentially that there are young pepole that felt like we forgot about them, so why should they care about us," she said.

President Trump's pressure campaign to take action against perceived adversaries is unrelenting. Mary and Andrew start this week by breaking down a public push for Attorney General Pam Bondi to prosecute Trump's political foes, just as Virginia's U.S. Attorney was ousted for failing to bring charges against Letitia James and Jim Comey. The focus then turns to the government's attempt to control critics and silence opposition after last week's abrupt suspension of Jimmy Kimmel, backed by FCC Chair Brendan Carr, as well as what the president designating ANTIFA as a “terrorist organization” actually means. On the flip side comes the effort to dismiss investigations into those aligned with Trump's cause. See MSNBC's reporting on the FBI bribery investigation into “Border Czar” Tom Homan that was shut down after Trump returned to office. And last up: Mary shares the reasoning behind a court's decision to block the removal of dozens of Guatemalan children, citing that the governments explanation "crumbled like a house of cards.”  And a reminder: There are still tickets available for MSNBC Live – our second live community event featuring more than a dozen MSNBC hosts.

The  Case of The Deadly Train

We talk with Attorney Dave Aronberg, who, during his time as District Attorney for Palm Beach County, fought to save lives and to take down bad actors who created what is commonly known as the "Florida Shuffle." He co-authored, along with Dr. David Campbell, a book about this fight, which exposes some ugly truths.

Police in Gwinnett County, Georgia, have cleared Ky Frost — the son of Kirk and Rasheeda Frost from Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta — in the fatal shooting of Atlanta rapper T-Hood. According to investigators, the confrontation stemmed from a dispute involving Ky's sister, Kelsie Frost. Police say T-Hood was the aggressor and allegedly pulled a gun first, which led Ky to fire back. Authorities ruled the shooting as self-defense, and no charges have been filed. The case has been forwarded to the District Attorney's office for review, but as of now, Ky is not facing charges. In this episode of The Diamond K Show, we break down: The details of the confrontation Why police ruled it self-defense What happens next with the DA's review The impact on the Frost family and the hip-hop community

www.commsolutionsmn.com- As we record this on September 11th, we recall the events of 9/11/2001. It's still fresh in our memories, despite that it's fading from the consciousness of too many. How do we keep this from happening again if we forget? Our conversation takes a turn towards the unfortunate news from September 10th, 2025. We lost a brother in Charlie Kirk at the hands of another leftist with an agenda. We take time to remember Charlie and his impact on our nation. Charlie went to college campuses to challenge liberal indoctrination, because someone had to do it. He changed the thought process of so many young men that felt like they were the villain in woke world. They were tired of it and Charlie gave them a way out. He was up front about his faith, his beliefs, and what was important in life. Now, in the wake of his death, thousands are returning to church and promising to stand and carry Charlie's vision. People on the left are celebrating and justifying his death. It's abhorrent. These wokesters are dangerous and something has to change fast. We need to stand against the darkness that seems to be enveloping us and be a source of light in our world. Let us join together to rekindle faith, stare evil in the face, and take back our culture.

Mr District Attorney 48-08-25 (527) Case of the Unknown Source

Last week's fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk was deeply disturbing, and as Andrew establishes at the start, “murder is murder” and those responsible must be held to account. So Mary and Andrew begin with where the investigation stands and how the FBI has handled the case, as well as the lawsuit filed against FBI Director Kash Patel over alleged politically motivated firings at the Bureau. Then, co-editor-in-chief of Just Security, Ryan Goodman stops in to share his research around the end of “the presumption of regularity” in the Trump era, amid growing frustration from many lower courts. And lastly, Andrew and Mary dig into the latest twists and turns in the President's attempt to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook.A note to listeners: After today's recording, Tyler Robinson was charged with felony aggravated murder, among other charges.Further reading:  Here is Ryan Goodman's research in Just Security: The “Presumption of Regularity” in Trump Administration LitigationAnd a reminder: There are still tickets available for MSNBC Live – our second live community event featuring more than a dozen MSNBC hosts.

The Man From Alcatraz

Darrell Castle talks about the brutal and horrifying video taped murder of a young woman named Iryna Zarutska who escaped from the national graveyard that is Ukraine only to be murdered in the urban graveyard that is today's American cities. Transcription / Notes LIFE AND DEATH IN CHARLOTTE Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 12th day of September in the year of our Lord 2025. I will be talking about the brutal and horrifying video taped murder of a young woman named Iryna Zarutska who escaped from the national graveyard that is Ukraine only to be murdered in the urban graveyard that is today's American cities. We have no shortage of murder to talk about today but Charlie Kirk's assassination happened too late for this Report and anyway everything has been said but in light of the subject of today the milk of human kindness is running a little low right now. Yes, Iryna finished her shift at the pizzeria in Charlotte where she worked. Still in her work uniform with her hair up under the company's ball cap she boarded the light rail train for the ride home and immediately started concentrating on her phone just like every other person her age would do. She was just doing what any person navigating America's inner-city jungle would do and that is just sit down, mind your own business, don't talk to anyone and don't look anyone in the eye. You have to be very careful in today's cities because the person nearest you could be a psychotic murderer. There was such a man in the seat behind Iryna that day. The man had 14 prior arrests and charges pending including assault, robbery, and other violent felonies and yet as is the custom of our George Soros funded District Attorneys the man roamed Charlotte freely. The interesting thing about Iryna's horrible murder is that it is not unusual. According to the Charlotte and Mecklenburg County Police Union her murder was just another day at the office in Charlotte. So, she escaped from war-torn Ukraine but not from the urban war against humanity that is being waged in our cities each day. The man lounged across two seats behind her as can be clearly seen on the video.  His attack on this tiny woman was so savage as to make description difficult. I will just say that he leaned over her and stabbed her three times in her neck which produced a look of horror on her face that is hard to forget. Blood gushed from her neck and covered her seat and the floor. DeCarlos Brown jr., career criminal, said I got that white girl as he walked away with blood dripping from his knife. Perhaps the most horrifying part of the video murder was the utter apathy and lack of empathy of the other passengers to what amounts to a public execution. One man at least tried to help her but all the others were completely unmoved by the scene. All faith in humanity, if there was any left, is now gone but worse all faith in this country's ability to survive what has happened to it in the last 12 years or so is gone. This is unfortunately not new. When I was in college more than 50 years ago we studied what was then called the bystander effect. Onlookers fail to intervene or even assist a young woman as she is dying on the floor of a Charlotte light rail train car. Undeterred by the horror all around them, prosecutors, funded by the George Soros Open Society Foundation, choose the righteous political narrative of their own beliefs rather than the rule of law or even the relief of human suffering. In Charlotte, the mayor is Vi Lyles who has been in office since 2017 so she has been repeatedly reelected which should cause the voters of that city to live in shame. Thia attack, not a one off, nor an isolated incident but just life in Charlotte as it is thanks to mayor Lyles and the Charlotte City Council. This is an elected public official who has referred to the police as terrorists and has spent her time in office making life for the city's residents unsaf...

This episode begins with Mary and Andrew digesting the 2-1 decision from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals halting the Trump administration's ability to use the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan nationals accused of being members of Tren de Aragua. Andrew calls the administration's recent arguments “outlandish” before moving to the questionable legality of the U.S. military's deadly boat strike last week – an unprecedented action which left eleven dead. Next, they move to Monday's Supreme Court decision undoing limits set by a lower court on how ICE conducts immigration raids. Plus, a federal judge issues a win for Harvard University on the topic of frozen and terminated funds. Further reading:  The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals' ruling on Trump's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act to deport VenezuelansAnd a reminder: tickets are on sale now for MSNBC Live – our second live community event featuring more than a dozen MSNBC hosts.

Why Has Ellen Greenberg's Case Been Buried for 14 Years? Corruption or Cover-Up? For 14 years, Ellen Greenberg's death has sat in legal limbo. After being ruled a suicide despite 20 stab wounds, her case has been passed from agency to agency, each refusing to take responsibility. The District Attorney recused himself, the Attorney General's office punted it back, and county prosecutors declined to act. The result: no arrests, no suspect, and no justice. In this segment of Hidden Killers Live with Tony Brueski, former prosecutor and defense attorney Eric Faddis joins the discussion to unravel how the system has failed Ellen Greenberg. Why did the medical examiner reverse an initial homicide ruling after a private meeting with police? Why have officials fought against reopening the case despite mounting evidence? And is this incompetence — or something more deliberate? The Greenberg family has fought tirelessly for answers, but every attempt to force accountability has been stalled or buried. We explore the political dimensions of the case, including questions about then–Attorney General Josh Shapiro, now Governor of Pennsylvania, and whether connections or corruption played a role in shutting down the investigation. This is more than a case about one woman's death. It's about what happens when a justice system chooses to protect itself instead of the people it serves.

On April 15, 2005, Centre County District Attorney Ray Gricar of Pennsylvania left work for what seemed like an ordinary day off. He called his girlfriend while driving his red-and-white Mini Cooper, promised to be home later, and then—he was never seen again. His locked car was found the next day near the Susquehanna River, his phone still inside but his laptop mysteriously missing. Did Gricar walk away from his life voluntarily? Was his disappearance tied to one of his high-profile prosecutions—or to secrets someone wanted buried? Or did tragedy strike by accident along the water's edge? Nearly twenty years later, the case remains one of the most haunting unsolved disappearances in America.If you are interested in bonus content for our show or in getting some Coffee and Cases swag, please consider joining Patreon.

After a Labor Day weekend that saw a judge halt the Trump administration's attempt to deport dozens of Guatemalan children already loaded onto airplanes, Andrew and Mary had planned to start their conversation there. But just this morning, Judge Charles Breyer ruled the administration cannot deploy U.S. military to carry out law enforcement operations, as this violates the Posse Comitatus Act. Andrew and Mary provide historical context for the act and walk us through the rationale of this latest ruling. Then, they take a beat on moves to oust two more Trump appointed U.S. Attorneys in California and Nevada who have yet to be congressionally approved. And last up, they review several big cases on tariffs, Lisa Cook, and cuts to foreign aid.Further reading:  Here is Judge Thomas T.

August 31, 2025; 7am: All eyes are on Chicago after President Trump's continued threats to deploy the National Guard to the Windy City. On Saturday, Chicago's Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order demanding that Trump stand down. In response, President Trump continued his threats, warning Illinois Governor JB Pritzker to “straighten out” Chicago quickly or the city will be subjected to federal law enforcement takeover. The President has echoed these threats to several Democrat-led cities, and elected officials are issuing a warning: military troops who carry out Trump's orders might be at risk for prosecution. Philadelphia's District Attorney, Larry Krasner, joins “The Weekend” to discuss. For more, follow us on social media:Bluesky: @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.socialInstagram: @theweekendmsnbcTikTok: @theweekendmsnbcTo listen to this show and other MSNBC podcasts without ads, sign up for MSNBC Premium on Apple Podcasts.

Mary and Andrew begin here, reminding listeners that the origin of his case stems from a mistake made by our government.

It's been another wild week, after the D.C. Attorney General sued the government for attempting to install the head of the D.E.A. as D.C.'s emergency police commissioner. Following an emergency hearing, US Attorney General Pam Bondi backed down and re-wrote the directive. But Andrew and Mary highlight why that's just the start: it's no longer just the D.C. National Guard being deployed in the nation's capital, National Guard units from five other red states are being sent to the city, making a complicated stew of who's in charge and who has jurisdiction. Next, they weave this thread into last week's trial over whether California's National Guard performed law enforcement operations in Los Angeles, a potential violation of The Posse Comitatus Act. And with Russia and Ukraine so much in the news, Andrew offers some reflections from the 2019 Special Counsel's report that exposes Russia's long-held goal of taking over the Donbas region. And last up, Andrew and Mary fill listeners in on two DC Circuit cases that have their attention: a decision allowing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to be dismantled and another that allows Trump to withhold billions in foreign aid.And a reminder: tickets are on sale now for MSNBC Live – our second live community event featuring more than a dozen MSNBC hosts.

Patrick McDonough joins Dr. Sandie Morgan to discuss his groundbreaking $40 million jury verdict against a hotel for enabling child sex trafficking and how this landmark case is changing accountability standards across the hospitality industry. Patrick McDonough Patrick J. McDonough is a nationally recognized attorney and advocate who leads the Sex Trafficking Division at Andersen, Tate & Carr. With a legal career marked by justice-driven leadership and deep community engagement, Pat has dedicated his life to representing survivors of sex trafficking and fighting systemic injustice. Before joining Andersen, Tate & Carr, Pat made history as the youngest District Attorney in the state of Georgia, where he pioneered the development of child advocacy centers, providing trauma-informed care and legal support to child victims of sexual abuse. In his legal practice, Pat has built a comprehensive, survivor-centered approach to litigation, assembling a national network of professionals to support clients from first contact through final judgment. His efforts have earned widespread recognition, being featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Sports Illustrated, Forbes, and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Outside the courtroom, Pat has raised over $1 million to support unhoused individuals and founded HomeFirst Gwinnett and the Gwinnett Reentry Intervention Program (GRIP). Key Points McDonough won a historic $40 million jury verdict in July 2025 against United Inn & Suites in Decatur, Georgia, marking one of the first TVPRA cases against a hotel to reach trial and verdict. The case involved a 16-year-old victim who was trafficked over 200 times in just 40 days, with hotel staff selling her condoms and ignoring obvious signs of trafficking. The verdict included $10 million in compensatory damages to make the victim whole and $30 million in punitive damages designed to send a message to the entire hospitality industry. Hotels cannot claim ignorance when red flags are obvious—if staff see what appears to be prostitution, they should call law enforcement regardless of whether they can definitively identify it as trafficking. Clear warning signs include high foot traffic with men going in and out of rooms every 20-30 minutes, scantily clad young women, large numbers of used condoms found during cleaning, and luxury cars visiting budget hotels. Hotel staff empowerment comes from the top—management must train employees and create a culture where staff are encouraged to report suspicious activity rather than just "rent rooms and make money." Simple staff training on recognizing red flags and proper reporting procedures can prevent hotels from becoming trafficking hotspots and protect them from legal liability. McDonough has settled over 80 similar cases, but this verdict was particularly significant because the hotel refused reasonable settlement offers and chose to go to trial. Community members play a vital role in prevention by reporting unusual traffic patterns and suspicious activity to law enforcement, as it truly "takes a village" to combat trafficking.

Transcript [00:00:00] Sandie Morgan: Welcome to the Ending Human Trafficking Podcast here at Vanguard University's Global Center for Women and Justice in Orange County, California. I'm Dr. Sandy Morgan, and this is the show where we empower you to study the issues, be a voice, and make a difference in ending human trafficking. Today I'm joined by attorney Patrick McDonough, partner at Anderson, Tate and Carr, and he leads their sex trafficking division. [00:00:35] Pat just won a $40 million jury verdict that sending shockwaves through the hotel industry. His 16-year-old client had been trafficked over 200 times in just 40 days while staff sold her condoms and ignored obvious signs.

When “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength” we are living in an era of alternate facts. Mary and Andrew apply this Orwellian concept to what's happening this week, after President Trump cited section 740 of the Home Rule Act to federalize the DC police force and send in the national guard to the nation's capital. They detail how the president was able to do this and why Congress will be the ultimate arbiter of this move. Then, they highlight some litigation befitting this theme, with Judge Breyer's trial starting this week on the use of the national guard in Los Angeles, and some decisions including not to unseal grand jury testimony in the Ghislaine Maxwell case, plus an Appeals court blocking contempt proceedings in JGG. Last up, Andrew and Mary take a look at Judge Henderson's opinion in the OMB case and why it deserves more attention than it's received. Further reading: Here is President Trump's letter to Congress citing section 740, courtesy of the New York Times.And some exciting news: tickets are on sale now for MSNBC Live – our second live community event featuring more than a dozen MSNBC hosts.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/6jS8ZvrgoVU On August 4, 2025, a scheduling conference where the defense argued about the overwhelming volume of discovery (10-11 Terabytes) and requested the prosecution narrow down what will be used at trial. The judge, however, noted that the defense has had the same discovery as the prosecution and that the prosecution has an obligation for full disclosure. A contentious motion to quash a subpoena issued by the defense. The defense is accused of seeking communications between the victim's family's civil spokesperson and the District Attorney's office, which the victim's family's lawyer argues is improper and irrelevant to the criminal trial.

Accountability or weaponization? That's the question Andrew and Mary tackle in their 150th episode together, starting with the distraction of the Office of the Special Counsel's investigation into Jack Smith for possible Hatch Act violations. In other DOJ related matters, they give some context to the Trump administration's continued battle to keep Alina Habba, a Trump ally, as New Jersey U.S. Attorney, just as The Legal Accountability Center filed bar complaints against lawyers who have represented Trump's White House in court. In another sideshow, Andrew and Mary break down what to make of a report on the “Clinton Plan” emails, declassified amid the Epstein controversy. And last up, they detail the decision out of the 9th Circuit Court which upheld a pause on ICE raids in California.  Further Reading: Here is the piece Andrew and his colleague Ryan Goodman wrote for Just Security in October 2024: Refuting the Latest Baseless Attacks Against Special Counsel Jack SmithHere is the 9th Circuit Court decision on ICE Raids: Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California And some exciting news: tickets are on sale now for MSNBC Live – our second live community event featuring more than a dozen MSNBC hosts.

If it's customary, it's probably not happening in this Justice Department. Starting with the latest from the Epstein controversy, Andrew and Mary unpack what to make of the two days Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche spent interviewing Ghislaine Maxwell. This, after a Florida judge denied the release of Epstein grand jury transcripts last Wednesday.And in immigration related news, three decisions came through in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia saga, just as the first claim is filed against the U.S. over one man's deportation to El Salvador without due process. Then, in an eye-popping move, Attorney General Pam Bondi's office filed a misconduct complaint against Judge James Boasberg for “making improper public comments” about the President and his administration. And before wrapping up this week, Mary and Andrew give some context to the former J6 prosecutor who's suing the administration over his abrupt firing.Further Reading: Here is the misconduct complaint filed against Judge Boasberg: Complaint Against United States District Court Chief Judge James E.

Pressured for transparency from all sides of the aisle, the Department of Justice made a surprising move to try and unseal grand jury materials from the Jeffery Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell cases. Andrew and Mary discuss why this move is so shocking and what it signifies. They also look at the latest sentencing for an ex-officer involved in the 2020 raid that killed Breonna Taylor and what a trial on behalf of international students and faculty detained for pro-Palestinian activism revealed about ICE's practices. Finally, they unpack the DOJ's firing of Maurene Comey and Attorney General Pam Bondi's firing of a New Jersey attorney who replaced a long-term Trump ally.  Listener Note: This episode was recorded prior to the ruling from a Florida court that denied the requested grand jury materials in the Jeffery Epstein case. However, the DOJ's other request related to a grand jury in the Southern District of New York remains pending.Further reading:Here is the op-ed written by Rümeysa Öztürk in the Tufts Daily about her time in a women's ICE facility.Want to listen to this show without ads?
