Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by Professor Dan McConkie to talk about the Jussie Smollett hate crime/hoax case. As former state and federal prosecutor in California for eight years, Professor McConkie brings a keen insight to the story and the broad implications of this much-publicized and controversial case. By now most of us are familiar with the Jussie Smollett incident; if not, you can find some background here. Smollett, an actor on the Empire TV show on Fox and a singer, last January claimed he was the victim of a hate-inspired assault in downtown Chicago. He set off a massive police investigation and inspired nationwide support, particularly because the two “assailants” supposedly hurled racial and homophobic insults while invoking President Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan. Then the investigation shifted its focus to Smollett himself. In March, he was charged with 16 felony counts related to making false report to the police. In short, Smollett was charged with a hoax. Just two weeks later, in a quiet, secretive proceeding in court, the Chicago County Attorney dropped the charges. Yet, Smollett was not exonerated. What the hell happened? Professor McConkie and Aaron work through the underlying facts to sort out the details before turning to questions about the impact of this. What about real hate crimes and the rise of such violence in our country? Was the County Attorney’s decision to drop the charges just a case of routine prosecutorial discretion? Did she handle herself in a responsible and ethical way? With all of the twists and turns and resulting opinions on why he was allowed to walk away free and clear, we ask the question, how will it affect public trust in law enforcement and the criminal justice department? What do you think? Let us know in the comments below.

For all of you Empire TV show fans out there, you were probably all shocked when Lucious Lyon was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis (MG). I first heard about this MG back in the early 1980s, when a young german shepherd puppy came into the veterinary hospital where I worked and displayed all the tell-tale symptoms. With further testing, it was confirmed that this poor pup, who was as cute as a button, was suffering from MG, and at that time, there really was not an adequate way to treat him so the owners opted for euthanasia. It was heartbreaking all around and I never forgot that little puppy. Well now, things have really changed and MG is being managed and treated successfully... if it's diagnosed and treated early. To help talk about this wonderful change, I've invited pet parent Lois Rinehimer to the program to talk about her special dog, a goldendoodle named Joy. And after our halftime break, Charleston Veterinary Referral Center's Dr. Katherine Crook, will talk about Joy's case from a veterinary perspective and explain what every pet parent should be aware of in terms of watching for signs of MG.
