Podcasts about Double jeopardy

Unpack one of the most dramatic moments in the life of the Labour government so far: Angela Rayner's resignation, a sweeping cabinet reshuffle, and Shabana Mahmood's arrival as Home Secretary. With David Lammy moved to Justice and Yvette Cooper shifted to the Foreign Office, what does this signal for immigration, asylum, and criminal justice reform? To explore the current events in UK politics, Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC are joined by Sir Jonathan Jones KCB KC, former Treasury Solicitor, and Permanent Secretary of the Government Legal Department 2014-2020. Together they offer expert legal commentary on the growing calls to repeal the Human Rights Act, withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), and even abandon the Refugee and Torture Conventions. They discuss whether such moves are legally possible in UK law, the lessons from Denmark's hardline asylum model, and the challenges of redefining refugee status in a world of mass displacement and criminal gangs exploiting the terms of the 1951 Convention.   The conversation also tackles the complex question of whether withdrawal from the ECHR would breach the Belfast Good Friday Agreement, the role of the common law in safeguarding fundamental rights, and whether a populist government could truly legislate away protections against torture and inhuman treatment or punishment.    With the debate on human rights law at its most febrile in decades, Ken, Tim and Jonathan ask: how far could Britain really go—and at what cost to its international standing, constitutional integrity, and democratic values?

Does the ECHR really block the UK's ability to implement effective immigration/asylum policies? And why is Nigel Farage doing his best to persuade the foreign US government and its increasingly far right tech bro cronies, to bully the UK over the Online Safety Act, so recently passed by Parliament?

What do the ITV and Panorama documentaries tell us about the safety of Lucy Letby's convictions?

What happens when the criminal justice system gets it wrong and takes years to admit it? And what does it say about the state of UK law when protestors are labelled terrorists while populists call for military-built prisons?   From the Supreme Court's critical judgment in the high-profile legal case against the LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) traders calling out systemic failure in the appeals process to the explosive policy platform launched by Reform UK, this episode of Double Jeopardy covers the legal and political stories reshaping public discourse. Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC unpack a series of developments exposing deep fault lines in British politics, freedom of expression, and the rule of law.   They also return to the government's decision to proscribe Palestine Action under terrorism legislation raising urgent questions about human rights law, the policing of protest, and the erosion of civil liberties under the banner of national security.   You can find the Supreme Court judgment in Rex v Hayes & Palombo here.   Carlo Palombo was represented by Tim Owen KC, Jonathan Crow CVO, KC, Katherine Hardcastle, Tim James-Matthews and Elizabeth Walsh instructed by Ben Rose of Hickman & Rose.  Tom Hayes was represented by Adrian Darbishire KC and Tom Doble instructed by Karen Todner. --- Covering the critical intersections of law and politics 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.

Is it ever justified for the Government to secure a superinjunction in the face of a perceived risk to the life and limb of countless individuals caused by human error?  A catastrophic data leak in February 2022 exposed over 18,000 Afghan applicants for resettlement in the UK to violent retribution by the Taliban and a superinjunction granted in August 2023 prevented Parliament and the public from knowing what had happened.  Public law specialist, solicitor Daniel Carey has spent years litigating on behalf of Afghan allies left behind after the Taliban takeover in August 2021, confronting a bewildering and overwhelmed Government bureaucracy, flawed risk assessments, and a system marred by secrecy and delay. He joins Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC on Double Jeopardy to discuss how his experience reveals fundamental problems in the UK's Afghan Relocation and Assistance Policy (ARAP) and raises urgent questions about the proper role of superinjunctions in national security matters and whether Parliament in some form had a right to know about a catastrophe involving risk to life as well as huge financial consequences.   They interrogate the government's decision to keep Parliament in the dark, the controversial court rulings on freedom of expression, and the impact of the Rimmer report which led to the lifting of the superinjunction and the closure of all the Afghan resettlement scheme despite a continuing risk to life.   This is an episode rich in expert legal commentary and essential context for anyone seeking to understand how UK politics, the rule of law, and the legal system intersect in moments of national crisis.    Link to judgments can be found here. --- Covering the critical intersections of law and politics 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.

It's Die Hard in a war zone!This week on DIE HARD ON A BLANK…it's war! Not just on screen, but also between Phil and Liam, have very different opinions about this divisive film!During a disastrous mission in Somalia, a group of U.S. soldiers find themselves besieged by scores of enemy militia in the city of Mogadishu, a situation that is compounded when not one but two Black Hawk helicopters crash in the middle of the war zone. With the situation worsening by the minute, inexperienced Staff Sgt Matt Eversman (Josh Hartnett) must use all his skills and determination to bring his men home, save the pilots, and honor the Army Ranger credo: ‘No Man Left Behind'. As our hosts debate the relative merits and demerits of this undeniably powerful picture, the conversation also widens into a larger discussion of whether any film can legitimately be an anti-war movie or whether all war films are inherently propagandistic on some level. The boys also discuss some of their own brushes with military personnel and how that informed their views about this film…and Phil even recounts his own experience of flying in a Black Hawk! As always, events culminate with the Die Hard Oscars and the Double Jeopardy trivia quiz. Helo heads rise up!

The UK criminal justice system is facing an existential threat with court backlogs surging, trial complexity increasing, and decades of chronic underfunding pushing the system to the edge of collapse. Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC are joined by Sir Brian Leveson to discuss the findings of his landmark independent review of the criminal courts.    The discussion explores proposals to overhaul the structure of criminal trials, reduce pressure on the courts, and restore public trust touching on key issues such as: Removing the right to elect trial by jury in certain cases Expanding out-of-court resolutions Creating a new Crown Court bench division Modernising and diversifying the magistracy Introducing judge-only trials in complex or lengthy cases These recommendations sit at the heart of a wider debate about the future of UK law, political issues in Britain, and the balance between justice, efficiency, and liberty.

It's Die Hard in a military prison!This week on DIE HARD ON A BLANK, we are storming THE LAST CASTLE with returning special guest Jason Bailey, author of GANDOLFINI: Jim, Tony and the Life of a Legend.When decorated three-star U.S. Army General Eugene Irwin (Robert Redford) is sentenced to a term in a military prison overseen by Colonel Winter (James Gandolfini), both men gradually slide into a destructive power struggle…and when Irwin witnesses Winter's brutal tactics firsthand, he eventually leads the prisoners in a full on uprising against his opposite number. As we examine Rod Lurie's highly underrated 2001 siege drama, we dig into the film's resonant themes of anti-authoritarianism, courage under fire, and personal honor, and debate whether this might be that rare bird: a pro-military movie with liberal politics.But mostly, we dive deep on James Gandolfini's extraordinary performance as one of the most human and sympathetic “villains” in modern action movie history — a turn that may just be his best ever big-screen role. Plus: the Die Hard Oscars, Double Jeopardy trivia, and some inside baseball on the off-screen relationship between Gandolfini and Robert Redford during the film's difficult shoot. Lurie Lads rise up!!ORIGINAL TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsxA8Euaiw0At the time of release, THE LAST CASTLE is available to stream on Paramount Plus and is available rent or buy on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV/iTunes, YouTube, Fandango and all the usual platforms, as well as on physical media!Click here to subscribe to our Patreon feed 48 HOURS OF BUDDY MOVIES!www.patreon.com/48hoursofbuddymovies Hosted on Acast.

Has the United States & Israel broken international law by bombing Iran? Or was it an act of Self-Defence?   Professor Marko Milanovic, a leading expert in international law joins Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC to assess the legality of the recent Israeli and US military actions against Iranian nuclear facilities.    From Article 51 of the UN Charter to the legacy of the Caroline Doctrine, the discussion dives deep into the legal justifications for self-defence, the meaning of "imminent threat," and whether international law permits pre-emptive force in the face of existential danger.   Professor Milanovic challenges political and legal narratives from NATO, UK politicians, and beyond—exploring whether Israel and the U.S. were acting within the bounds of law, or eroding the very norms that exist to prevent war.   You can read Professor Milanovic's recent blog post here.   — Covering the critical intersections of law and politics 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 law and politics collide?

Sin always finds its culprit and unconfessed sin always has a compounding effect. When you put your trust in the things of this world and your own best effort you will always leave you disappointed and you will stand for a double jeopardy at the second death.

It was a brisk autumn night in October 1977 when two best friends, Christine Eadie and Helen Scott, stepped into Edinburgh's World's End Pub for what should have been a carefree night of drinks and laughter. Just seventeen years old, they were out to blow off steam, pub-hop, and soak in the city's energy. But as the night drew to a close, a chance encounter changed everything. On their way out, the girls struck up a casual conversation with two men—a chat that lasted no more than 25 minutes. Moments later, Christine and Helen disappeared into the night. They were never seen alive again. That ordinary pub, on that ordinary night, would be etched into Scotland's darkest history—The World's End Pub forever linked to their final steps. Like Whitechapel in the time of Jack the Ripper, or the Ford Theatre on the night Lincoln fell, The World's End would become a place where tragedy and terror collide. What happened next would haunt a nation—and ignite one of Scotland's most chilling manhunts.Join Jen and Cam on this episode entitled 'Double Jeopardy at the World's End: Scotland's Angus Sinclair."Listener discretion is by @octoberpodVHSResearched and written by Lauretta Allen, as well as myself.Executive Producers @theinkypawprintSources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World%27s_End_Murdershttps://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-47524945 https://youtu.be/dNMTHwOrQK0?si=DbcL4bufbpxU60UShttps://youtu.be/5WcrDOim1Rw?si=C7jsagwsgwOKHwd0https://youtu.be/EoHghw36gpk?si=0n6DhReS29po3ZLKhttps://murderpedia.org/male.S/s/sinclair-angus.htmhttps://www.newspapers.com/image/1047423638/?match=1&clipping_id=172210762https://www.newspapers.com/image/1047422373/match=1&terms=%22Catherine%20Reehillhttps://www.newspapers.com/image/1047422301/?match=1&clipping_id=172210941https://www.newspapers.com/image/1047424653/?match=1&clipping_id=172211034https://www.newspapers.com/image/1048695564/?match=1&clipping_id=172211313https://www.newspapers.com/image/1048838948/?match=1&clipping_id=172211394https://www.newspapers.com/image/1048780956/?match=1https://www.newspapers.com/image/1048767078/?match=1&clipping_id=172211704https://www.newspapers.com/image/1048724298/?match=1&clipping_id=172211867https://www.newspapers.com/image/1048736127/?match=1https://www.newspapers.com/image/1048732134/?match=1https://www.newspapers.com/image/1048647935/?match=1&clipping_id=172212169https://www.newspapers.com/image/1048590172/?match=1&clipping_id=172212245https://www.newspapers.com/image/1048722237/?match=1&clipping_id=172212760https://www.newspapers.com/image/1048793994/?match=1&clipping_id=172212787https://www.newspapers.com/image/1048792299/?match=1&clipping_id=172212838https://www.newspapers.com/image/1048651639/?match=1&c

It's Die Hard in a bank!This week on DIE HARD ON A BLANK, we plug into SWORDFISH — the slick, post-Matrix cyber-thriller produced by Joel Silver and directed by Dominic Sena. With Hugh Jackman hacking mainframes under extreme duress, John Travolta dropping pseudo-Brechtian monologues, Halle Berry delivering the most famous topless scene of the early 2000s, and Don Cheadle constantly violating people's civil rights, it's a film that dares to ask: does it matter if a movie makes no sense, as long as it's entertaining? We also dig into Swordfish's dense meta-layering and debate the broader question: when is too much meta actually bad for the form? As always we break the film down in detail in our ‘Anatomy of an Action Movie section', hand out some ‘Die Hard Oscars' and wrestle with some ‘Double Jeopardy' brain teasers…heck, there's even a Vinnie Jones impression thrown into the mix for good measure!

What happens when a justice system is asked to do more with less and at what cost to fairness, freedom, and the rule of law?   Crime and justice commentator Danny Shaw appears on the show to examine the political and legal fallout from the UK government's spending review. With stretched police forces, an underfunded probation service, and mounting pressure on the courts and the prisons, how can Labour's Manifesto commitment to “Take Back Our Streets” be fulfilled ?   Ken and Tim then turn to the bulging Double Jeopardy postbag and tackle listeners' questions and comments on the proposed reforms anticipated in the Leveson Review such as judge-only trials, as well as the implications of potential changes to abortion law in England Wales. What do these shifts mean for prosecutors, defendants, and the future of jury trials in Britain? And when are jurors entitled to follow their consciences rather than the evidence?    From prisons and sentencing to digital forensics and judicial independence, this episode offers expert legal commentary on the most pressing political issues in Britain today set against the broader backdrop of UK politics.

Is Britain still a world leader in forensic science or are we sleepwalking into a criminal justice crisis?   Once considered the gold standard, the UK's forensic science system is not working well for anyone – not for the police, not for the suppliers of services, not for the courts and, by extension, not for the public.  Yet we all believe it to be a critical tool that we can rely upon to bring the guilty to justice and exonerate the innocent.   Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC are joined by two of the UK's most respected forensic science experts - Baroness Sue Black and Dr Angela Gallop CBE - to investigate the breakdown of forensic science in England and Wales and what it means for justice. The guests explain how these changes have led to miscarriages of justice, undermining trust in both science and the legal system.   As co-chairs of the Westminster Commission on Forensic Science, Sue and Angela outline urgent recommendations: create a National Forensic Science Institute, invest in independent research, and reform the funding of the defence to ensure equality of arms in the courtroom. This is a powerful and timely discussion that cuts to the heart of British politics, UK law, and the fight to uphold the rule of law. --- Covering the critical intersections of law and politics 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.

Why does Britain lock up so many people and is there a better way?   The UK has the highest incarceration rate in Western Europe, yet reoffending remains rampant and prisons are at breaking point. What's gone wrong in our approach to crime and punishment - and is the public ready for a smarter, more effective system?   Former Justice Secretary David Gauke, chair of the Independent Sentencing Review, joins Double Jeopardy to examine the findings and implications of the Review, a landmark report that lays bare the dysfunction of the current UK law and criminal justice framework. From overreliance on short custodial sentences to the urgent need for investment in community penalties and a revitalised probation service, the conversation pulls no punches.   Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC explore the report's five key recommendations with David Gauke, the media and political issues in Britain, and the public's resistance to reform. They discuss the misuse of short prison sentences, the potential of technology like electronic tagging, and the need for coherence between the Ministry of Justice and the Home Office.   They also highlight topics including voluntary chemical suppressants for sex offenders and the disconnect between policy and public opinion. As they explain, true reform requires courage, leadership, and a commitment to the rule of law but in a febrile political climate, that's easier said than done.   You can find the link to David Gauke's report here. --- Covering the critical intersections of law and politics 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.

What if your political beliefs on Brexit, climate change or even gender identity were being subtly shaped by a foreign power?   From hostile state actors exploiting social media to the legal grey zone between terrorism and subversion, Jonathan Hall KC, the UK's Independent Reviewer of Terrorism and State Threat Legislation joins Double Jeopardy to unpack the expanding world of national security, free speech and democratic accountability.   Exploring whether new powers are needed or if Britain is on the brink of overreach with current political events involving Russian and Iranian interference, the proposal to "proscribe" state intelligence agencies like the IRGC, and the balance between politics and law when it comes to protecting democracy.   Jonathan makes the case for stronger laws with built-in judicial independence, while Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC raise critical questions about political accountability, freedom of expression and whether expanding surveillance risks undermining the very values the UK claims to defend.   Expect thoughtful legal system insights and bold discussion on UK law and politics in an age of growing foreign state threats, homing in on the rising tension between human rights law and national security. --- Covering the critical intersections of law and politics 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.

It's Die Hard on an ice cream truck!I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! This week on DIE HARD ON A BLANK, we're trying to keep our collective cool as we discuss the 1999 buddy-comedy/action-misfire CHILL FACTOR! Joining us on our adventure is none other than special guest Matthew Strohl, a professor at the University of Montana and author of the books Hard to Watch and Why It's Ok To Love Bad Movies! When an experimental military chemical weapon nicknamed "Elvis" accidentally falls into civilian hands, a hapless ice cream truck driver (Cuba Gooding Jr.) and down-on-his-luck diner cook (Skeet Ulrich) team up to keep it away from the ruthless mercenaries who are trying to steal it. The catch is that if "Elvis" heats above 50 degrees, it will detonate with catastrophic consequences – forcing the unlikely duo to outrun the bad guys and keep the temperature under that threshold, all while attempting to safely deliver the precarious device to a military facility! We start by analyzing the film's DNA, which includes genetic links to a myriad of movies including DIE HARD, SPEED, THE ROCK, THELMA & LOUISE, and most surprisingly, A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT. Backed by Matt's spirited defense case, we try to give this much maligned (and largely forgotten) motion picture its day in court, applying the thesis espoused in his excellent books to the film. Against the odds, this approach leads to a passionate (and unexpectedly deep) discussion about how we choose to engage with art…as CHILL FACTOR becomes a living example of “why it's okay to love to bad movies”! But the fun doesn't stop there...because as always we wrap things up with the DIE HARD OSCARS and the DOUBLE JEOPARDY trivia quiz!CHILL FACTOR trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYNiikB4wvIAt the time of release, CHILL FACTOR is available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV/iTunes, YouTube, Fandango and all the usual platforms, as well as on physical media.

In three of the four nations of the UK, abortion remains a crime under legislation passed in 1861, subject to the exemptions from criminal liability in the Abortion Act 1967.  Paradoxically, abortion was decriminalised in Northern Ireland in 2019, so that it is now seen as a matter of healthcare rather than the criminal law. Recent prosecutions in England under section 58 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861 have reignited debate over whether abortion belongs in the criminal courts at all – https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/may/13/i-hate-sitting-in-silence-now-nicola-packer-on-clearing-her-name-after-the-trauma-of-her-abortion-trial   https://doctorsforchoiceuk.com/abortionlaw#:~:text=UK%20abortion%20law%3A%20Overview&text=In%201967%2C%20Parliament%20passed%20the,if%20authorised%20by%20two%20doctors.   In this special 100th episode of Double Jeopardy, Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC are joined by two leading voices in the campaign for reform: Rachael Clarke, Head of Advocacy at BPAS (the British Pregnancy Advisory Service) and Trustee of Compassion in Dying; and Jonathan Lord, NHS Consultant Gynaecologist and Co-Chair of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists' Abortion Taskforce. Together, they explore the rise in criminal investigations into pregnancy loss and self-managed abortion, the implications of recent cases like Carla Foster (https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/20231018-R-v-FOSTER-final-approved-1.pdfand) and Sarah Catt, and the human cost of criminalising desperate women. They unpack new national policy guidance issued by the National Police Chiefs' Council on investigating stillbirths and miscarriages; the troubling use of digital surveillance in reproductive cases, and the proposed cross-party amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill that would finally remove women from the scope of the criminal law, thereby eliminating the bizarre distinction between the law of Northern Ireland and the other nations of the UK. What is the justification for threatening a woman with life imprisonment for ending a pregnancy? And why has Parliament decriminalised abortion in Northern Ireland, but not in the rest of the UK? This episode offers insider legal and medical perspectives on one of the most polarising and poorly understood areas of UK law—at a moment when calls for reform are louder than ever. ------ 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.

The clash between David Wolfson KC's “thin” interpretation of legal principle and Attorney General Richard Hermer's “thick” is explained through the experienced legal eyes of Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC on this episode of Double Jeopardy.   They dig into the political implications of these contrasting views, the role of parliamentary sovereignty, how the UK navigates its obligations under international law, including the Chagos Island dispute and the role of the International Criminal Court, whether the Tories will commit to repeal of the Human Rights Act and leaving the ECHR and ask whether the role and function of the rule of law can ever be approached in a non-partisan way.   Shadow Attorney General David Wolfson KC also joins Double Jeopardy to tackle one of the most pressing questions in UK politics and law today: what does the rule of law really mean - and who gets to define it?    Covering the constitutional crisis created by Brexit/Covid, the right of Parliament to legislate in defiance of international law, the domestic law tensions generated by the expansive approach to human rights law of the European Court of Human Rights and the influence of current political events including the migration debate on attitudes to the rule of law, this episode offers rare, insider insight into the legal and philosophical tensions at the heart of the British system.   If you're looking for thoughtful legal system insights, a deeper understanding of UK politics, or an unflinching look at UK law and legal battles in Britain, this episode delivers it all.

Suj and James discuss the weekend's Premier League football and it was largely another low scoring week for Fantasy managers with Mo Salah amongst many popular assets who blanked. But with Alexander Isak and Newcastle assets still to go at Leicester the outlook could look very different by the end of the day. Newcastle of course double next, as do Crystal Palace who beat rivals Brighton, but not without issues as Marc Guehi was sent off but Daniel Munoz, Ebe Eze and Jean-Phillipe Mateta all returned well. Then there's three further doubles in Gameweek 33, Arsenal and Man City both underwhelmed as they drew on the road but Villa did beat Forest, though they did it was a heavily rotated team, and there may be more heavily roattion to come across Gameweeks 32 and 33 that may concern those looking to Bench Boost. Plus, Liverpool were beaten at Fulham, Southampton were relegated and Suj's Wildcard hasn't got off to the best of starts. Tomorrow on on Planet FPL: The People's Poll, Are We Bored With Football?

A federal court heard arguments from Karen Read's defense team in a critical hearing Wednesday, as they pushed to dismiss two of the charges against her, citing double jeopardy. This was one of two hearings scheduled that day, and it could determine whether Read faces another trial for the 2022 death of her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe. Read, 44, of Mansfield, is accused of striking O'Keefe with her SUV outside a home in Canton on January 29, 2022, then allegedly leaving him in a snowstorm after a night of drinking. The defense, however, has long maintained that she is the victim of a coverup and that O'Keefe's death was caused by others—potentially even law enforcement officers. For over 90 minutes, Chief Judge Dennis Saylor listened to arguments dissecting whether Judge Beverly Cannone properly declared a mistrial and whether she should have polled the jury before doing so. Read's attorneys claim they spoke to jurors after the trial, and those jurors confirmed they had reached a unanimous verdict: not guilty of second-degree murder, not guilty of leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death. If that's the case, the defense argues, retrying Read would be a blatant violation of her constitutional protection against double jeopardy. Defense attorney Martin Weinberg made the case clear: “We had a lengthy argument in front of the chief judge of the United States District Court on issues of profound constitutional significance. The question is whether or not the Norfolk District Attorney can reprosecute Ms. Read when there's such strong and compelling evidence that the prior jury acquitted her.” But the prosecution wasn't having it. Caleb Schillinger, representing the DA's office, countered that the jury never filled out verdict slips or sent any notes to Cannone indicating they had reached a partial verdict. His argument was simple: “There were no acquittals.” He pointed out that if the roles were reversed and the prosecution tried to argue the jury had found her guilty, Read's team would have objected just as strongly. Judge Saylor acknowledged the weight of the issue and promised to issue his opinion quickly, knowing that whoever loses will appeal. Meanwhile, the clock is ticking—the retrial is scheduled to begin on April 1. This federal hearing came hot on the heels of another major development. Just the day before, during a hearing in state court, Special Prosecutor Hank Brennan made a statement that raised eyebrows: The federal investigation into O'Keefe's death was officially closed. But outside the courtroom, Karen Read wasn't so sure. Speaking to reporters, she questioned whether the probe was actually over, referencing a letter from the U.S. Attorney's Office she received just a month earlier. “If I take him at his word, that would be a very dangerous endeavor of mine,” she said. “But I've seen a letter from the U.S. Attorney's Office from one month ago, and it said it was ongoing. It was a four-page, single-spaced letter.” The conflicting statements only add to the controversy surrounding the case, fueling speculation about the integrity of the investigation. If the probe was still active just weeks ago, what changed? And why the sudden declaration that it's over? Read's legal team isn't slowing down. They were right back in Norfolk Superior Court later that same day, continuing to fight through pretrial motions. Whether or not she faces trial again, one thing is certain—this case is far from over. #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #TrueCrime #LegalDrama Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Question: Can you help me with this question: “If Jesus died for all and has legally purchased all through substitutionary atonement, then how can those people go to hell? That would be a ‘Double Jeopardy' of the sins of those people being paid for twice.” This is my husband's main question and I would really appreciate help with it based on Calvinism.Response: The Bible says that God wants all to be saved: “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (2 Pet 3:9). But the Bible also says that not all will be saved (Matt 7:21-23; Lk 13:22-27, etc). Nevertheless, the Bible also tells us that God is all powerful (Ps 147:5; Jer 32:17; Matt 19:26, etc).Calvinism has its own explanation. They strive to make things add up. “If God is all powerful,” the reasoning goes, “and God wants all people to be saved, then all people will be saved. Since not all people will be saved, Christ must have died only for some; God must not want all to be saved.”This is unbiblical according to the much-explained John 3:16 (what “world” means), and the blunt statement of 1 John 2:1-2: “And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.” But to some, it makes nice, theological sense. This is, however, putting one's reason above God's Word; believing what makes sense rather than believing all of what God has said. As Dave Hunt wrote in Calvin's Dilemma: God's Sovereignty vs. Man's Free Will (pp 9-10), “William L. Pettingill wrote, ‘God insists upon His sovereignty and also upon man's responsibility. Believe both and preach both, leaving the task of ‘harmonizing' with Him.' In a similar vein, A. T. Pierson, although a leading Presbyterian, declared that both ‘the sovereign will of God and the freedom of man' are taught in Scripture and that ‘if we cannot reconcile these two, it is because the subject is so infinitely lifted up above us. Man is free.... Thus the last great invitation in God's Book is an appeal to the will.'“Unfortunately, neither John Calvin nor many of his followers today have been willing to accept both sides of this biblical teaching. The result has been devastating in its consequences for the gospel: that man can only reject Christ; he cannot accept and believe in Him unless he is sovereignly regenerated by God. Calvinism refuses to accept what so many great evangelists have recognized is vital. Edgar Mullins expresses very well the essential balance that is missing:“‘Free will in man is as fundamental a truth as any other in the gospel and must never be canceled in our doctrinal statements. Man would not be man without it and God never robs us of our true moral manhood in saving us.... The decree of salvation must be looked at as a whole to understand it. Some have looked at God's choice alone and ignored the means and the necessary choice on man's part.'”

Jackson) decides to turn the tables and takes hostages at the Internal Affairs bureau, in an effort to find the truth and clear his name. Sensing that he has enemies in his own midst, Roman demands that the only negotiator he will speak to be Chris Sabian (Kevin Spacey), a mysterious stranger from an entirely different district. But can Sabian be trusted? And how do you negotiate your way out when everyone assumes you are the real villain?In this tightly wound pressure-cooker thriller, we break down how The Negotiator cleverly inverts the Die Hard formula - putting the good guy in control of the siege, with a besieged skyscraper, hostages, FBI interference, and a whole lot of air shaft action! We explore the film's copious Die Hard DNA, from over-the-radio showdowns and ill-fated SWAT assaults to computer hacking, power shutdowns, and even a debate about old Western movies between the two adversaries! We also highlight the killer supporting cast, the film's “Glengarry with Guns” energy, and why F. Gary Gray deserves more love! Plus, we dig into the importance of the Chicago setting and discuss how the film channels The Fugitive with its “wrongly accused” narrative - shoutout to Andrew Davis! Chicago forever! As usual we hand out our Die Hard Oscars to worthy candidates and wrap things up with some ‘Double Jeopardy' brain teasers!THE NEGOTIATOR trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnSk9xrOf2MAt the time of release, THE NEGOTIATOR is streaming on Amazon Prime Video in the UK.

Karen Read Appealed the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Ruling that stated there was no verdict and therefore no double jeopardy. The defense's arguments for dismissal is based on the lack of "manifest necessity" for a mistrial. A look at the United States v. Tribio Lugo case and its relevance to Karen Read's situation might be an open door to get counts 1 and 3 dismissed. With so much happening in this complex case, it's hard to keep up. I'll guide you through the legal maze and explain what it all means for Karen Read's future.Watch the full coverage: https://youtube.com/live/hQjZkiAIVkcRESOURCESSJC Ruling - https://youtube.com/live/rbYylRyjISkHalted Hearing - https://youtube.com/live/M5p-UrfGKDYCase Law from First District Ruling - https://casetext.com/case/us-v-toribio-lugoBreakdown of Count 2 and Lesser Included - https://youtu.be/zRH39FlfYJIThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacy

12 - Are the talking heads on TV really think this DOGE auditing is a form of destroying our institutions? 1215 - Side - Trios 1230 - Judge Patrick Dugan joins us on this day where DA Larry Krasner is announcing his re-election campaign. Is this a day to remember Christopher Fitzgerald? We listen live to some of Krasner's introductory press conference, but Judge Dugan wonders why Krasner is discussing Trump when his problems lie within the city limits? Krasner argues that locking criminals up “don't work”, what is Dugan's response? 1250 - Is “Black Jeopardy” taking it too far? Is regular "Jeopardy!" too white? New Krasner accent too?

Trump World delusions continue, as their “braintrust” led by Eric Trump Jr lie to the American people and tell them that Trump can't be prosecuted against because of “Double Jeopardy” and “Statute of Limitations” word salad arguments. Michael Popok, a lawyer who knows what he's talking about, explains that neither of those concepts can be applied to prevent Trump from being re-indicted for his 2020 crimes when he leaves office.
