It is day 9 of our 12 Nightmares Before Christmas. On a sweltering June 26, 1957, Margaret Harold, a vibrant young woman, and her boyfriend, a U.S. Army sergeant, were enjoying a rare weekend getaway. As they were making their way, a green Chrysler came barreling toward them. Without warning, the car swerved, forcing them off the road. The driver, a tall, dark-haired man, stepped out with a sinister calmness. He approached their vehicle with a wicked look in his eyes. The stranger demanded that they roll down their window as he brandished a nickel-plated .38 revolver. At first, the man demanded money and then cigarettes. When the couple did not have anything to give him, he shot Margaret point-blank in the face. The horrified soldier, paralyzed by shock, fled the scene, racing through the rural fields that surrounded him. Finally, he reached a farmhouse, where he managed to call the police, relaying the horror he had just witnessed. The sergeant provided a clear description of the man who had attacked them—a man with an average build and somewhat tall stature, marked by dark hair and a clean-shaven face. Before police could find the stranger, he would do a lot more damage.

The 6th Circuit Court of Appeals decision in Downs v. United States was a benchmark case for domestic law enforcement that establishes our requirement to attempt negotiations for a peaceful resolution. We define a hostage situation and talk about strategies to manage them in contrast to active killer and barricaded criminals.

In 1992 high school students and staff from an El Paso, Texas high School were being constantly harassed by the U.S. Border Patrol. Agents would aggressively yell at them demanding to prove their citizenship. One young lady was knocked to the ground by agents and kicked 20 times. The abuse could no longer be tolerated so several students, some alums, and some staff decided to sue the U.S. Border Patrol. Come root for the underdog and get all the details!

Spoilt rotten from a young age Ronald Jnr never takes any responsibility for his actions.His motives and explanations never make much sense but include the obligatory it was “The Mob”!His act defies explanation, but its what happens in the aftermath that made this case famous, but even that is surrounded in mystery.

Well, well, well, you're back with us, you flop! JK, we're here on this glorious Tuesday to talk about the wonderful world of Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity (NGRI) and in true Jackie fashion, she tells too many stories of her time in the state hospital and prison system. Before they get into the drama mama, Kyle is tired of pornstaches (you don't look good no matter what affirmations you tell yourself in the mirror) and Jackie is tired of small talk, mostly because she's not good at it (is this surprising to anyone?). Jackie pops the corn and feeds the children and also brings them to school about everything NGRI. Don't believe what you read, it's A LOT harder to plead it than you think. Enjoy both Jackie and Kyle feeling triggered throughout the episode about everything they learned, or maybe didn't learn in school. Before they wrap things up, they play another wonderful Spring/Easter Edition of Gay or Straight.Don't forget to connect with your two tired therapists through e-mail (twotiredtherapists@gmail.com), Instagram (@twotiredtherapists), and Facebook (Two Tired Therapists). Leave us a review and we might read it in future episodes (good and bad reviews welcome).Resources:https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/insanity_defensehttps://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/FSupp/525/1342/1692613/ https://mhanational.org/issues/support-insanity-defense https://www.mentalillnessandthecriminallaw.com/post/statistics-on-mental-illness-the-insanity-defensehttps://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/law-disorder/202002/not-guilty-reason-insanityhttps://healthandjusticejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40352-023-00230-z

(Intro by the host, Maureen Leif) I met Pam back when I was a Deputy District Attorney working on the child support docket. She was Magistrate Gagel back then and she was hearing the child support cases. As she tells the story, we would often go at each other (in jest) because I felt like she could be lenient. In hindsight, she was always right! Pam and my colleague Emily and I would go to dinner when Pam left the bench, and it was always a fun way to connect and talk about our profession lives. From the time that I first met Pam she would talk about her work on a Title IX case Roberts v Colorado State University[1]. You can hear the passion and impact of Title IX in Pam's voice when I ask her about her experience and what it means to her all these years later. All people, young and old, need to understand and appreciate the hard work, dedication, long hours and sacrifices made to bring Title IX into being. It is about more than just sports and had a broader impact than most people realize. [1] Roberts https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/FSupp/814/1507/1765777/
What is real in Hollywood movies that are "based" on a true story?

In the second episode of That's So Fucked Up Presents: New York Noir, host of the podcast Give Us Morgue, Megan Powell, joins Ash as she tells the story of the murder of Kitty Genovese.Kitty Genovese was murdered in the early hours of Queens, NY, March 13, 1964 (which happened to be a Friday the 13th). It was estimated at the time that there were 38 eyewitnesses to Kitty's brutal murder, watching or hearing the attack, but not doing anything to help- although this was disproven later. Her murder inspired the social psychological theory, the bystander effect, and the creation of the 911 emergency system.

In this episode of Potstirrer Podcast, Jaye reacts to the leaked draft US Supreme Court Opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. Written by Justice Samuel Alito, the draft majority opinion signals an overturning of the Roe v. Wade precedent regarding abortion, and would leave abortion rights up to the states. Jaye argues that Alito's reasoning in Dobbs for overturning Roe is particularly alarming, as the way Roe was decided is similar to that of several other civil rights cases handed down by the Court over the past seventy years. Using historical analysis, Jaye makes the case that overturning Roe v. Wade was always meant to be a starting point in a right-wing quest to roll back a host of civil rights and liberties, and ultimately solidify authoritarian minority rule in the United States.

This episode lays the groundwork for understanding Roe v. Wade, the famous 1973 Supreme Court decision that effectively legalized abortion nationwide for the first time. First, we set the stage - the legal stage that is. We begin with an explanation of Jane Roe's initial lawsuit filed in the federal district court in Dallas, Texas against Henry Wade, the district attorney in Dallas County, where she argued that the 1854 Texas law criminalizing abortion, except in cases to save the life of the mother, was unconstitutional. Jane won half the case, so she appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Wade appealed to. We then move onto the appeal and explain the arguments put forth by both sides and unpack the decision of the court which didn't give either side everything they wanted, but some of what they wanted. The decision itself, and its reasoning, has been a source of much controversy in legal and political circles alike given the unique trimester framework it laid out for balancing the interests of the pregnant woman, fetus, and the state. Finally, we recap with a TL;DR and set up the next episode where we'll dissect the second most famous abortion case in America: Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992) and explore how it changed Roe and, despite its good intentions, muddied the abortion waters all the more. Links Mentioned Roe v.

This conversation on gender equity in sport details the importance of celebrating the success of Title IX, contributions from the AIAW, and the move towards sport for all. However, there must also be the acknowledgment of the disproportionate representation of BIPOC women. Resources, space, representation, and access are all matters to consider when it comes to who can partake in sport. Gender equity seems to be a source of pride, yet leaps and bounds remain to achieve this scenario.

On this episode of AGSC, Tamsyn and Paniz are joined by...each other, to talk about the reason they first met years ago: campus sexual assault, and the profound uselessness of the university administrators getting paid to address it. Having spent many years organizing, researching, and writing about the issue since then, they have seen how universities spend all their time and money on programs like consent education and sweeping policy change, without seeing any actual reduction in the number of students being assaulted on their campuses.

On this episode of AGSC, Tamsyn and Paniz are joined by...each other, to talk about the reason they first met years ago: campus sexual assault, and the profound uselessness of the university administrators getting paid to address it. Having spent many years organizing, researching, and writing about the issue since then, they have seen how universities spend all their time and money on programs like consent education and sweeping policy change, without seeing any actual reduction in the number of students being assaulted on their campuses. Paniz and Tamsyn talk about why these neoliberal approaches don't meet survivors' actual (namely, material) needs or take into account the role of power in sexual violence - and what we can do instead.

April 13, 1976. Jessup, Maryland. Ralph Sigler, a 47-year old Chief Warrant Officer with the United States Army, is found dead inside a motel room after an apparent suicide in which he electrocuted himself. For the past decade, Ralph had been working as a counterintelligence agent who provided classified information to spies from the Soviet Union, but since he had fallen under suspicion for failing several polygraph tests, the Army concludes that Ralph elected to take his own life. However, Ralph's family discovers a number of discrepancies, including some unexplained injuries on his body, to make them suspect Ralph was tortured before someone murdered him. Was Ralph Sigler's death an elaborate suicide or was he a victim of foul play? On this week's episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore a controversial Cold War-era mystery involving spies and espionage.

Ten year old Scotty Baker was checked out of school the day before Thanksgiving by someone he thought was his cousin.

On October 20, 2020, the US Department of Justice together with 11 Republican State Attorneys General, filed a momentous lawsuit against Google for the illegal monopolization of search engines and search advertising services.

With Call of Duty one of the most popular game franchises on the planet, it's no surprise that many want a piece of Activision Blizzard's massive profits. But how did the multinational video game publisher not only use Humvees throughout many of its franchise entries without a license, then defeat the challenge posed by the vehicle's manufacturer, AM General LLC, before litigation even truly began? The answer...requires some explaining. Trademark really isn't the same as copyright...in Virtual Legality.

Should the U.S. Supreme Court be the court of the world? In the 18th century, two feuding Frenchmen inspired a one-sentence law that helped launch American human rights litigation into the 20th century. The Alien Tort Statute allowed a Paraguayan woman to find justice for a terrible crime committed in her homeland. But as America reached further and further out into the world, the court was forced to confront the contradictions in our country’s ideology: sympathy vs. sovereignty. Earlier this month, the Supreme Court heard arguments in Jesner v. Arab Bank, a case that could reshape the way America responds to human rights abuses abroad. Does the A.T.S. secure human rights or is it a dangerous overreach?

In you are not familiar with it, Twitter is a “micro-blogging” site, where people can post short, text message length updates about what they are doing each day. You can see it for yourself at www.Twitter.com . My username on Twitter, if you would like to follow me, is “Undercover_Lawr”. Quick Tip For the Quick Tip, we talked about how employees have zero expectation of privacy for anything done with their work computer, or their work network (like signing in from home – still utilizes work network) Feature Segment – Straight Male to Straight Male Sex Harassment Oncale v. Sundowner Offshore Services, Inc. 523 U.S. 75 (1998) Facts of the Case Joseph Oncale, a male, filed a complaint against his employer, Sundowner Offshore Services, Inc., alleging that he was sexually harassed by co-workers, in their workplace, in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ("Title VII"). On appeal from a decision supporting a district court's ruling against Oncale, the Supreme Court granted certiorari. Question Does the prohibition against sex discrimination, set out in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, apply to same-sex sexual harassment? Conclusion Yes. In a unanimous opinion, the Court held that while Title VII does not prohibit all verbal or physical harassment in the workplace, it does bar all forms of discrimination "because of" sex. Such discrimination, whether motivated by sexual desire or not, is actionable so long at it places its victim in an objectively disadvantageous working condition, regardless of the victim's gender. Written Option: http://supreme.justia.com/us/523/75/index.html Davis v Coastal Intern. Sec., Inc, 275 F3d 1119 (2002) Facts: The extended and rancorous workplace dispute giving rise to this action began in 1996 after Coastal International Security hired Wallace Davis to work as a security guard at the Environmental Protection Agency. While serving as a supervisor early in his tenure, Davis disciplined two other Coastal security guards, Aaron Smith and Everett Allen, for various on-the-job infractions. Smith and Allen, apparently infuriated by their discipline, launched a retaliatory campaign against Davis, which they began by repeatedly slashing his tires. After Davis complained to his supervisor, Coastal required the three men to sign a memorandum of understanding in which they agreed to set aside their differences. This agreement accomplished nothing. When Davis was demoted Smith and Allen visited his work station and taunted him about the demotion. Approximately six months into their campaign against Davis, Smith and Allen expanded their repertoire. Smith approached Davis at his work station and grabbed his (Smith's) crotch, made kissing gestures, and used a phrase describing oral sex. After Smith twice repeated this performance, Davis complained to his supervisor, who convened a meeting with Davis, Smith, and Coastal's project manager for the EPA facility. Because Smith denied Davis's accusations, and because Davis failed to provide corroborating evidence, the project manager took no formal action, but admonished both Davis and Smith to “ act like grown men.” Undeterred, Smith continued his vulgar comments and gestures, and Davis again complained to his supervisor. This time the supervisor warned Smith that he would be fired if his behavior continued. This seems to have gotten Smith's attention, for his lewd conduct ceased (although Davis alleges that Smith threatened his life on several subsequent occasions). Allen, however, twice approaching Davis and made precisely the same lewd gestures and comments that Smith had. When Davis complained for a third time, Coastal conducted a full-scale investigation. Although the investigator interviewed ten employees, he concluded that the inquiry had been “hampered by the lack of a reliable witness to substantiate even one allegation of sexual harassment by ... Davis.” Notwithstanding this lack of corroborating evidence, the investigator recommended that Davis and Allen be reassigned (Coastal had terminated Smith for unrelated reasons). Shortly thereafter, Davis filed one final complaint, claiming again that Allen, despite his reassignment, had repeated the by-now-familiar lewd gestures and comments. In January 2000, over three years after these events began, Davis filed suit in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, alleging that Smith's and Allen's behavior amounted to sexual harassment and that Coastal and Securiguard “permitted ... Allen ... and ... Smith to make sexually vulgar gestures and statements.” Legal Standard for Male to Male Sex Harassment: The Court suggested three ways to prove that same-sex sexual behavior rises to the level of illegal sexual harassment: The plaintiff may show that the sexual behavior is motivated by actual homosexual desire; that the harassment is framed in “such sex-specific and derogatory terms ... as to make it clear that the harasser is motivated by general hostility” toward members of the same gender in the workplace; or that there is “direct comparative evidence about how the alleged harasser treated members of both sexes in a mixed-sex workplace.” Oncale, at 80-81, 118 S.Ct at 1002. ROBINSON v FORD MOTOR Co 277 Mich App 146 (2007) This case was brought under STATE LAW, Michigan Civil Rights Act (MCA). “Plaintiff alleging a sexually hostile work environment on the basis of sexual advances or solicitations under Civil Rights Act (CRA) must present some credible evidence that the harasser is motivated by sexual desire; however, the same cannot be said about the third type of action barred under the CRA, namely verbal or physical conduct "of a sexual nature." M.C.L.A. § 37.2103(i).” Employee presented sufficient evidence to allow reasonable trier of fact to conclude that co-worker's conduct and communication inherently pertained to sex for purposes of employee's same-gender sexual harassment claim under Civil Rights Act (CRA); co-worker allegedly exposed his testicles and forced employee to touch them, hit employee's buttocks, exposed employee's underwear, digitally penetrated employee's buttocks, moved his hand between employee's legs toward his testicles, squeezed employee's nipples, threw pubic hair at employee, rubbed employee's personal property against his genitals, and pressed his erect penis on employee's back while forcing his fingers into employee's mouth. FEMALE HARASSING MALE Jones v U.S. Gypsum, 126 F Supp 2d 1172 (2000) Legal Standard that Accuser Must Satisfy: (a) she is a member in a protected group; (b) she was subject to unwelcome sexual harassment; (c) the harassment was based on sex; (d) the harassment affected a term, condition, or privilege of employment; and (e) the employer knew or should have known of the harassment and failed to take proper remedial action.
