Podcasts about first circuit court

Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and his legal defense team continue to challenge the bomber's death sentence arguing two of the jurors were biased and should have been stricken from the panel. The First Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston has instructed Judge George A. O'Toole Jr. to take another look at the alleged bias of those jurors. However, Tsarnaev's team wants Judge O'Toole to recuse himself (which the Judge refuses to do) over comments he made about the case on a podcast that the defense says raises, “concerns about his impartiality.” Do you think the bomber should receive the death penalty? Do you think the sentencing needed to be revisited?Listen to WBZ NewsRadio on the NEW iHeart Radio app and be sure to set WBZ NewsRadio as your #1 preset!

I break down the legal implications and why this is such an unusual move. One thing to note is that she was not a deliberating juror.The First Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled against Karen Read's claim of double jeopardy, meaning she can be retried on all three charges. I explain the court's reasoning, which focused on whether a mistrial was necessary and whether a verdict had been formally rendered in the first trial. Jury selection for the Karen Read retrial is set to begin on April 1st, 2025. I discuss the expected timeline, the challenges of selecting an impartial jury, and what to expect in the coming weeks.RESOURCESVanity Fair Article – https://www.vanityfair.com/style/story/karen-read-trial-juror-lawyerFinal Pre-Trial Hearing - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbX3X0qbEewPrevious Emily Show - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRXfHhodGjYMistrial Hearing - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRJ_QZ5NeikDepp v Heard Trial Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gLVeg1x2AInDBfPU6-ffnD0This 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

On todays Show Maddie and TFT talk about the legal case of Mexico vs. Smith & Wesson, where Mexico sued U.S. gun manufacturers for alleged involvement in crimes in Mexico. The district court dismissed Mexico's complaint citing the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, which shields manufacturers from liability for crimes committed with their products. Mexico appealed, arguing an exception for unlawful involvement. The First Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the case could proceed, citing evidence of marketing tailored to cartels. The Supreme Court is expected to rule on the case, with potential implications for gun manufacturers and the Second Amendment. The discussion centered on Trump's political strategies, including his need for loyal Congress members and his actions against opponents. Trump's decision to primary Massey was debated, with speculations about Massey's vote against a continuing resolution as the potential insult. The conversation also touched on Biden's use of auto pins for presidential actions, raising constitutional questions. Additionally, the group discussed Kamala Harris's apparent incoherence, the Epstein files, and the potential suppression of incriminating information. They also mentioned Houston's efforts to deport 650 criminal immigrants and the re-tasking of an app to help immigrants deport themselves legally. And yes Podbean still SUCKS.

In this episode, we dive into the latest legislative developments impacting parents' rights in education.North Carolina: We begin with an update on Senate Bill 49, also known as the "Parents' Bill of Rights." In a recent budget proposal, districts now have until January 1 to implement policies required by the new law, a significant extension from the original deadline of September 15. Notably, the law exempts certain student surveys from parental consent requirements and clarifies school officials' ability to provide emergency medical care. It also requires schools to inform parents if their child changes their name or pronoun and restricts instruction about gender identity and sexuality in K-4 classrooms.Massachusetts: Next, we discuss the intriguing case of Foote v. Ludlow School Committee. This lawsuit centers around parents who discovered their 11-year-old daughter had transitioned to "genderqueer" at school without their knowledge. The school's policy required staff to keep such transitions secret from parents unless the child consents, raising important questions about parental consent and minors' rights. The case is currently under review by the First Circuit Court of Appeals, with a focus on the school's "no-disclosure" policy.In our organizational news, we introduce a new site feature and invite listeners to become affiliate leaders.

As Higher Callings begins planning its next season, we've decided to post an excerpt from our very first episode. Don's guest was David Hoffman, founder of the mediation firm, the Boston Law Collaborative. After clerking for Justice Stephen Breyer when Justice Breyer was still a judge on the First Circuit Court of Appeals, David joined the venerable Boston law firm, Hill & Barlow. This month marks the 20th anniversary of that firm's decision to dissolve, a decision that sent shock waves through the Boston legal community and epitomized the seismic shift in private law practice from being thought of primarily as a profession to fundamentally a business.  When Don interviewed David in 2021, they spent a few minutes talking about the legacy of Hill & Barlow and some of the great lawyers who began their careers there. The following is a brief excerpt from that part of their conversation. You can find David's written tribute to his former firm on his blog at the Boston Law Collaborative website, linked here.

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - President Joe Biden and his wife Jill will meet with Pope Francis on October 29th at the Vatican. The White House confirmed the visit today. This will be Biden's first meeting with the pope during his presidency. Biden previously met with Pope Francis in 2016, as vice president. He also spoke on the phone with Pope Francis last year, when the pope congratulated him on his election as president. The Supreme Court heard arguments this week about whether or not to reinstate a federal death sentence for Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Tsarnaev was sentenced to death in 2015, but a three-judge panel of the First Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the sentence in 2020. The panel unanimously found that he had not received a fair trial. A prominent Anglican bishop has entered into full communion with the Catholic Church. The Right Reverend Michael Nazir-Ali was once considered a potential future Archbishop of Canterbury. He reportedly could be ordained as a Catholic priest as early as the end of the month, within the ordinariate. Benedict XVI created the ordinariate in 2011 for former Anglicans wishing to preserve elements of their patrimony. Three seminarians abducted from their seminary in central Nigeria this week have been released. Bandits abducted the seminarians Monday evening, and injured six other seminarians. Kidnappings of Christians in Nigeria have become more common in recent years. Today, the Church remembers Pope Callistus I. Not much is certain about Pope Callistus' life. He was martyred in 222 by an anti-Christian mob.

The U.S. Supreme Court is considering whether to reinstate the death penalty against Dzhokhar Tsarnaev for the Boston Marathon terror bombings that killed three people and wounded hundreds more. Tsarnaev's death sentence was overturned last year by the First Circuit Court of Appeals but now the Biden Administration Department of Justice is weighing in saying the crime warrants the death sentence. Do you agree?

The Supreme Court has agreed to review the case for reinstating the death penalty for Boston Marathon bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Tsarnaev's death sentence for setting off explosives, which killed three and wounded hundreds, was overturned last July by the First Circuit Court of Appeals. The petition to the Supreme Court was initially filed by the Trump Department of Justice. Should the death penalty stand for the Boston Bomber?

Heather and Tom Frizzell discuss the July 31, 2020 First Circuit Court decision to overturn Dzhokhar "Jahar" Tsarnaev's death sentence. In this episode, we talk about the issues the defense won on, as well as the four biggest takeaways from the decision: Judge O'Toole's failure to properly vet jurors for bias during voir dire, the debate over failure to change venue, new revelations about Tamerlan Tsarnaev's involvement in the 2011 Waltham triple murders, and Tom's theory that Jahar was denied effective assistance of counsel. We also discuss why it's important that Jahar never pled guilty, the special defenses of duress and undue influence, Heather's critique of "radicalization" as a concept, why the taint of inaccurate pretrial publicity is still haunting this case, the First Circuit judges' own anti-Muslim biases, and more.

Steve Alm is a former Judge, Prosecutor, and United States Attorney.Born in Honolulu and raised in Manoa and Kaimuki, Mr. Alm joined the Honolulu Prosecutor's office in 1985, where he served as Director of the District and Family Court Division.  In 2001, Mr. Alm became the first career prosecutor to be appointed to the First Circuit Court in Honolulu.A-1 Nick asks Judge Alm:What is the future of HOPE probation in the state of Hawaii?  Are there any changes to the program, or points of improvement, you'd like to discuss for future iterations?-Judge Alm pitches "pre-trial HOPE" a way for defendants that most likely can't qualify for cash bail, bail bond, or release on their own recognizance (OR) or supervised release (SR).   May I know your position on a new jail to replace OCCC?-Judge Alm pitches buying the Federal Detention Center and converting it into Honolulu's newest jail since its close to the court, away from housing developments, and several times cheaper than building a brand new jail at a projected cost of $500M+One of A-1 Nick's most popular videos on Stolen Stuff Hawaii, a facebook community dedicated to public safety, has to do with a potential new bill which would change the chief of police position from appointed to elected.  What's your stance on that choice?-Judge Alm does not believe the police chief should also be a politician.This question is for my friends in law enforcement.  Law enforcement officers sometimes get frustrated with the additional pressure put on their agencies to serve an info charging or grand jury warrant that comes out weeks or months after a defendant is released pending investigation.  Do you plan on engineering any changes, so that upon arrest, defendants are charged promptly, and RPI'd less frequently?-Judge Alm wants to improve the charging process, so less defendants are charged after being "reeased pending investigation."All the candidates have been very civil during the debates, however, because I've watched all of them, as well as most of the interviews each candidate has given, I can "read between the lines" and decode digs on each other.  Two candidates have asserted that you're "out of touch" with the job of city -prosecutor.  How do you respond to being called "out of touch?"-Judge Alm counters this sentiment.What is the "weed and seed" program, and how do you think a new iteration of that program would improve public safety?-Judge Alm explains what the program is, and how it can be implemented in China town to reduce crime.One of the most controversial situations during this current pandemic, is the emergency release of inmates.  Pandemics are not BLACK SWAN events, they have happened and will continue to happen in the future.  Given this reality, what best practices would you advocate for to improve the treatment of inmates during a pandemic?-Judge Alm talks about case by case reviews for releases, building new structures for social distancing, gives props to the department of public safety which 100+ days into the pandemic, still has not had a single inmate test positive for cover-19.A master manipulator abusing their power as a prosecutor is also not a BLACK SWAN event.  What guardrails do you believe can be implemented, so that another Kathy Kealoha doesn't abuse his or her prosecutorial power?-Mentoring prosecutors and repremanding prosecutors for wrongful acts early is key to running a successful office that maintains the public's trust.  Berger v. US is the case which explains the role of the prosecutor and how to prosecute with ethics and integrity.  

In today's News: Supreme Court rules 'sex' included sexual identity The Supreme Court today issued its ruling on a historic case about LGBT employment discrimination, with the majority deciding that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex, also applies to gay or transgender people. It was a 6-3 decision. One of the cases involved was Harris Funeral Home. This family-run funeral home fired one of its male employees when the employee changed gender to female. Although the court ruled that gender identity is sex as described by law and therefore may not face discrimination, it noted that Harris did not claim religious exemption in the firing. The court further noted that its ruling does not impact those with religious or moral objections. Boston accused of religious discrimination Liberty Counsel filed an opening brief to the First Circuit Court of Appeals on behalf of Boston resident Hal Shurtleff and his christian civic organization, Camp Constitution, arguing that the city of Boston violated the First Amendment by censoring a private flag in a public forum merely because it contained a cross. The city refers to its flagpole as a “public forum” and allows private organizations to temporarily raise their own flags on the flagpoles. Never has Boston censored any flag until the Christian flag. The city’s records show Boston has allowed at least 284 applications by private organizations on the city hall flagpoles without denial except for the Christian flag. Religious protection extended to healthcare workers The Department of Health and Human Services has just finalized a new rule that protects patients, aligns with current medical research, and complies with rulings from two federal courts. An older rule, imposed in 2016, had required doctors to perform gender transition procedures even if doing so would violate their religious beliefs and potentially harm their patients. That rule was struck down in two lawsuits brought by nine states, several religious organizations, and an association of more than 19,000 healthcare professionals. The new rule, finalized Friday, complies with those court decisions and ensures that sensitive medical decisions are kept between patients and their doctors without government interference. Christian giving remains strong When the U.S.economy shut down in March due to covid-19, financial predictions for churches and other ministries were dire. But a new survey suggests those predictions may have been overblown. Most evangelical churches and ministries saw giving remain steady or grow during the height of stay-at-home restrictions, according to a survey of more than 1,300 christian ministries released last week by the Evangelical Council For Financial Accountability. Among those surveyed, total cash giving in April 2020 equaled or surpassed April 2019 giving levels at 66 percent of churches and 59 percent of nonprofits. An even greater percentage of churches, 72 percent, and other Christian nonprofits, 61 percent, said their April 2020 cash gifts met or exceeded January 2020 levels, when the economy was booming and the stock market’s Dow Jones industrial average was approaching its all-time high.

In today's News: LCMS President Harrison asks the Attorney General to protect religious liberty LCMS President Rev. Dr. Matthew C. Harrison wrote a letter to the U.S. Attorney general in defense of religious liberties. This letter is in concert with the work of several LCMS district presidents who have addressed officials concerning the role of government and the church. The district presidents of Illinois wrote a letter to their governor regarding recent plans for reopening, which they believe are unnecessarily restrictive on church-affiliated bodies. The LCMS has 500 congregations and 115 schools in Illinois. A Maine congregation wants meeting restrictions lifted Calvary Chapel of Bangor, Maine, filed an emergency injunction to the First Circuit Court of Appeals pending an appeal regarding the lawsuit against Governor Janet Mills’ orders that discriminate against churches and prohibit in-person and drive-in worship services. Under the governor’s orders, no religious gatherings are permitted, including parking lot services. Mills said that churches will only be allowed to meet in small numbers when she is satisfied with the “metrics,” and when that happens, she will require churches to apply to re-open. Approved churches will then need to display a “badge” at the front door signifying they are approved to open. However, Mills has no process in place now to begin the approval process and no application for the churches. Labor Secretary Eugene Scalia is commended First Liberty Institute commended United States Department Of Labor Secretary Eugene Scalia for issuing a directive and new guidance that protects religious liberty for faith-based organizations that partner with the federal government. The secretary’s actions reflect principles implemented by president Trump’s executive order 13798, “promoting free speech and religious liberty.” Religious organizations, like their secular counterparts, provide essential services desirable to federal agencies through government contracts. $80 million in relief funds went to Planned Parenthood According to a Fox News report, $80 million in stimulus funds intended to help small businesses struggling through coronavirus economic hardship have gone instead to Planned Parenthood, the multi-billion dollar abortion business. Under the Cares Act’s Paycheck Protection Program, Congress allocated $349 billion in federal funds to provide assistance to small businesses with fewer than 500 employees. In August 2019, Planned Parenthood rejected Title X federal funding after the Tump administration’s rules required abortion facilities to fiscally and physically separate family planning services from abortion, organizations like Planned Parenthood and its affiliates are ineligible to receive the PPP relief funds under affiliation rules established by the Small Business Administration.

Marine Insurers Invented The Warranty In An Insurance Policy The video is available at Zalma on Insurance on YouTube at https://youtu.be/Vjb1PKEs3K8 Marine insurers invented the warranty in an insurance policy. So, it is fitting that a boat was involved in Lloyd's of London v. Pagan-Sanchez, 539 F.3d 19 (1st Cir. 2008), in which the First Circuit Court of Appeal enforced a warranty and deprived the insured of all rights to indemnity because of the breach of warranty. The case arose in 2003. A vessel called the Gabriella was at sea when an exhaust hose came loose and the Gabriella began taking on water through its exhaust system. Attempts to pump out the water were unsuccessful, and the Gabriella flooded and sank. The insured later submitted a claim to the plaintiffs for $175,000 for the loss of the boat and $100,000 for the costs incurred during salvage operations. The insurers found by investigation that the loss of the Gabriella was caused by wear and tear, gradual deterioration, and lack of maintenance, and they also found that the vessel's fire extinguishing equipment had not been inspected or certified within the preceding year and that the automatic engine room fire extinguisher system had been disconnected prior to the loss. Both were warranted by the insured to be in effect. Even though there was no relationship between the terms of the warranty and the actual cause of the loss, the First Circuit concluded that “under the federal rule and the law of most states, warranties in maritime insurance contracts must be strictly complied with, even if they are collateral to the primary risk that is the subject of the contract, if the insured is to recover.” In addition, “in marine insurance, there is historically no requirement that the breach of warranty relate to the loss, so that any breach bars recovery even though a loss would have happened had the warranty been carried out to the letter.” The treatise noted that most courts agree that in a maritime insurance contract, “[i]f the warranty is breached, the insurer is discharged.” New York law has long provided that "the breach of an express warranty [in a marine insurance policy], whether material to the risk or not, whether a loss happens through the breach or not, absolutely determines the policy and the assured forfeits his rights under it." Cogswell v. Chubb, 1 A.D. 93, 36 N.Y.S. 1076, 1077 (1st Dept.1896) (navigation limit warranty), aff'd, 157 N.Y. 709, 53 N.E. 1124 (1899). As New York's Court of Appeals has explained, an express warranty in a marine insurance policy "must be literally complied with, and that noncompliance forbids recovery, regardless of whether the omission had a causal relation to the loss." [Jarvis Towing & Transp. Corp. v. Aetna Ins. Co., 298 N.Y. 280, 82 N.E.2d 577, 577 (1948) and Levine v. Aetna Ins. Co., 139 F.2d 217, 218 (2d Cir.1943); Kron v. Hanover Fire Ins. Co., 15 N.Y.2d 521, 254 N.Y.S.2d 119, 202 N.E.2d 563-64 (1964) all of which required literal compliance rule to bar coverage where insured breached a warranty. [Great Lakes Ins. SE v. Aarvik (S.D. Fla., 2019)] In admiralty, a vessel owner impliedly warrants the seaworthiness of a vessel at the inception of an insurance policy. [State Nat'l Ins. Co. v. Anzhela Explorer, L.L.C. , 812 F.Supp.2d 1326, 1365 (S.D. Fla. 2011)] --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/barry-zalma/support

Did the latest election make you or your fellow citizens more free? Find out all the details here. What's in the News with stories on government murder, Jeff Sessions is gone, jury nullification, Right to Bear Arms, taxation is theft, and bad cops. And, a Statists Gonna State segment on a bevy of news from the FDA.

I encouraged you to join the growing number of people who decide voting is a waste of time. You know voting is useless when everyone is touting this last week's election as a "massive turnout" when less than 47 percent of the voting-eligible population cast a vote at all. But, taking the entire population into account, only 33% of people in the country chose your rulers and laws for you this year. Consensus my ass.  As with any election season, there were of course, good and bad that came out of it.   WHAT'S IN THE NEWS In government murder news, US-led coalition airstrikes killed 14 civilians in Eastern Syria. In good riddance news, Attorney General Jeff Sessions resigned from his office after more than a year of public criticism from his boss. In Jury Nullification news, a federal judge advocated for jury nullification after being shocked by an overzealous child pornography prosecution. In Right to Bear Arms news, I have two news stories for you. First, the First Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled there is no right to bear arms outside of your home. The second story is horrifying. Police in the statist haven of Maryland shot and killed a man in his home while serving a "protective order" under a new law which allows them to seize people's guns without due process. In taxation is theft news, now, even using your Playstation is taxes in the People's Republic of Chicago. In bad cops news, a Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy was arrested on drug charges after a heist at a pot warehouse.   STATISTS GONNA STATE There was a bevy of stories on the FDA recently, most just terrible, of course. However, let's start with a good one.  President Donald Trump signed the controversial "right-to-try" bill into law on Wednesday, which bypasses drug regulators to give gravely ill patients access to experimental medicines. The Food and Drug Administration approved a powerful new opioid Friday, despite strong criticism and accusations that it bypassed its own advisory process to do it. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) plans to ban the sale of flavored e-cigarettes as early as next week, senior agency officials told the Washington Post yesterday (Nov. 8). But, apparently, the FDA is going after menthol cigarettes as well. Citing senior agency officials familiar with the matter, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday that Commissioner Scott Gottlieb may be looking to begin a potentially multi-year process to have menthols banned.

The first months of the Trump administration have confirmed that criminal justice will remain a contentious issue for the foreseeable future. Trump's "law and order" rhetoric on the campaign trail has led to significant changes in federal criminal justice policy. At the state and local levels, lawmakers are struggling with the opioid epidemic, overincarceration, and how to work with new federal enforcement goals.In the current environment, how should legislators tackle the most serious and enduring criminal justice issues? What policies should be implemented? What should officials' priorities be? To answer these and other questions, experts from courtrooms, universities, law enforcement agencies, and think tanks will gather at the Cato Institute for its third annual criminal justice conference, Criminal Justice at a Crossroads. We hope that you will join us. Flash TalkHon. Steven S. Alm, Judge (ret.), First Circuit Court of Hawai'i, creator of HOPE Probation See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
