Subscribe to Nicholas Gruen's Substack - https://nicholasgruen.substack.com/I joined the Australian economist Nicholas Gruen recently in his Melbourne home to host his first 'long-form' podcast (although I'm not sure at what hour it goes from short to long)At the core of Gruen's worldview is the “un-seriousness” he levels at Australian politics, the media landscape, institutions and in a word... bureaucracies.From his creation of the HALE Index to his decades inside Australia's public institutions, Nicholas continuously challenges orthodox thinking.The podcast covers the (in my opinion) radical yet (Nicholas's opinion) ancient idea of citizens' juries as a second pillar of representation, the reasons bold policy rarely survives bureaucratic reality, and how lessons from the Toyota production system could help governments actually listen to people at the bottom of the hierarchy.Along the way, Gruen takes us from Australia's superannuation system to pokies, from the mental health crisis to the subtle erosion of public-spiritedness inside organisations. To be specific, these are all the topics covered in this chat.The HALE Index of Well-being – Why GDP misses the mark, how HALE works, and what it reveals about Australia's progress.Measuring What Matters – The limits of subjective well-being metrics, correlations between indicators, and why faux indexes mislead policymakers.Indigenous Policy Contradictions – The tension between material “gap closing” and self-determination, and why policy rarely confronts it.Citizens' Juries & Political Reform – Introducing random selection into governance and how it could act as a check on elected officials.Goodhart's Law in Action – How turning measures into targets corrupts them, and the problem of gaming metrics in education and beyond.Internal vs External Goods – Alasdair MacIntyre's framework and its relevance to public service, corporate culture, and motivation.Institutional Stagnation – Why promising initiatives stall, and how bottom-up programs could scale without being crushed by bureaucracy.Toyota Production System Lessons – Building respect for frontline workers into systems and how it transforms performance.Australia's Superannuation System – Strengths, inefficiencies, unfair taxation, and misaligned regulation of self-managed super funds.Compulsory Voting & Preferential Systems – How they shape Australia's political centre and guard against extreme populism.Universities Today – The shift from idea-driven discourse to metric-chasing careerism, especially in economics.Trade-offs vs Synergies – Why economics often overemphasises trade-offs, and examples of where quality and cost improve together.Timestamps00:00 Introduction to Nicholas Gruen05:41 The Limitations of GDP as a Measure11:08 Inequality and Its Impact on Well-being16:45 The Role of Metrics in Policy Making22:10 The Importance of Community Engagement41:48 Connecting Education to the Real World47:24 Learning from Toyota's Success56:52 The Flaws in Superannuation System01:02:55 Reforming Auditing Practices01:11:39 The Shift in University Education01:20:59 Divergent Perspectives in Economics01:32:49 Rethinking Representation in Democracy01:48:25 The Role of Elite Consensus in Political Change02:07:58 Understanding Domestic Violence in Indigenous Communities02:21:55 The Role of New Media in Political Discourse02:26:38 The Impact of Gambling on Australian Society02:36:08 The Nature of Optimism and Serendipity in Life

In the wake of revelations about the so-called “RussiaGate” scandal, more than two-thirds of voters agree with Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard that there must be “accountability” for any crimes committed.  The moment the New York Times won a Pulitzer Prize for its Russiagate reporting.

Congressman Tom Tiffany returns to The Steve Gruber Show to break down the latest developments as Pam Bondi pushes for a grand jury investigation into Russiagate. They dig into the intelligence community's role in efforts to overturn the 2016 election, the tangled web of dirty politicians, and what real accountability could finally look like.

In this fiery edition of The Daily Herold, Jon dives into a packed news cycle, spotlighting the DOJ's opening of a grand jury investigation into Russiagate, following a criminal referral from Tulsi Gabbard, and explores the role Pam Bondi may play in expediting indictments. He questions how, or whether, the Mar-a-Lago raid ties into the broader conspiracy and highlights the need for public proof that connects the dots. Jon also breaks down the subpoenas issued to former AGs and DOJ officials in the Epstein investigation, ponders who's missing from the list, and discusses the possible re-litigation of mid-year exam crimes. Other stories include Smartmatic's co-founder's alleged bribery scheme in Venezuela, Brazil's Supreme Court placing Bolsonaro under house arrest, Netanyahu's cabinet attempting to oust his AG, and DHS quietly requiring FEMA applicants not to boycott Israel. Jon closes the episode with a clip of CNN's Jim Acosta interviewing an AI-generated voice of a Parkland victim and challenges the ethical boundaries of such stunts. From mainstream media spin to Maxwell transcripts, this episode's theme is clear: truth is only beginning to surface, and some people are getting nervous.

In this eye-opening episode of the Must Read Alaska Show, host Ben Carpenter sits down with forensic journalist and author David Ignell for a deep dive into the constitutional role of grand juries in Alaska—and how that role is being undermined by the Department of Law and the judiciary. At the heart of their conversation is the case of former Ketchikan Police Chief Jeffrey Walls, who was targeted with felony charges by three different prosecutors across three grand juries in two different jurisdictions. Each attempt was thrown out by the court, culminating in a judge dismissing the third indictment with prejudice and expressing a loss of confidence in the Department of Law's integrity. Ignell draws on historical and legal precedent—from the English roots of grand juries to U.S. Supreme Court rulings—to argue that today's grand juries are being deliberately disempowered. He shares insights from his 131-page book and first-hand accounts of how grand jurors, witnesses, and even foremen have been silenced or threatened when attempting to investigate government misconduct. This episode explores troubling patterns of institutional resistance to transparency, including a sealed grand jury report currently locked away in a judge's desk and the state's redefinition of "investigative grand juries" as a means to control outcomes. Carpenter and Ignell make the case for urgent reform—and potentially federal intervention—to restore the public's trust in Alaska's justice system.

Today we'll cover the ultra short special session this weekend, with my thoughts rolled in on the override of the Governor's vetoes. Then in hour two we'll continue our discussions on the Grand Jury's role in government with David Haeg.

Are committees of randomly-selected amateurs the best way to decide someone's guilt or innocence? As the government studies a report that recommends the right to jury trial be restricted further, to ease the court backlog, is there a case for changing the justice system further? There have been many severe and tragic cases of people being wrongfully convicted by juries over recent years, and claims jurors have not understood the evidence. Or are juries a tried and tested part of our democracy, a bulwark against judges and laws that are out-of-touch? Phil and Roger examine the evidence from Dr Lee John Curley, lecturer in applied psychology at Glasgow Caledonian University and a specialist in juror decision-making Hosted on Acast.

The Chief Victims Advisor says scrapping juries from sexual violence trials could result in more fact-based verdicts. Ruth Money believes it would be better for survivors - in part because judges must give reasoning for their verdict. The idea's received some pushback, with one legal expert arguing jury trials are a foundation of the justice system. Money says jurors enter a court with bias, and mightn't understand nuances of sexual assault. "I've had survivors say to me - look, I was slammed around that courtroom like a tennis ball, I was rape-mythed, I was shamed, I was blamed."

Karen Read Trial: FBI Agent Explains Why Defense Strategy Is Backfiring With Juries Former FBI Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke delivers a comprehensive breakdown of why Karen Read's defense strategy is fundamentally flawed from a jury psychology perspective. This exclusive analysis reveals how every major defense tactical choice appears designed to alienate rather than persuade the 12 people who will decide Read's fate. Dreeke explains how the defense's core conspiracy theory violates basic principles of human psychology that juries intuitively understand. The theory requires believing that multiple law enforcement officers spontaneously coordinated a perfect murder, evidence planting operation, and sustained cover-up involving precise timing and absolute secrecy from numerous participants. The FBI expert details why such complex theories typically fail with juries who prefer straightforward explanations supported by evidence. The analysis examines specific backfiring tactics including the apparent witness intimidation allegations, the presentation of experts who admit they conducted no testing, and the avoidance of discussing physical evidence like taillight fragments found in John O'Keefe's clothing. Dreeke reveals how these choices signal desperation rather than confidence to jury members trained to evaluate credibility and authenticity. Drawing from his extensive experience in high-stakes situations, Dreeke contrasts the defense's scattered approach with the prosecution's methodical presentation of integrated evidence. He explains how Special Prosecutor Brennan's patient cross-examination style demonstrates confidence that resonates with juries, while the defense's aggressive tactics often backfire by making them appear untrustworthy. The interview provides unique insights into jury decision-making psychology, explaining why the defense's social media success hasn't translated to courtroom effectiveness and how their apparent internal recognition of case weakness is becoming visible to the people who matter most. #KarenRead #JuryPsychology #DefenseBackfire #FBI #BehavioralAnalysis #TrialStrategy #JohnOKeefe #MurderTrial #CourtroomTactics #LegalAnalysis #CriminalDefense #TrueCrime #TrialUpdate #Massachusetts #WitnessCredibility Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

In this third and final episode of our mini-series on juries, we speak with a criminal lawyer about the ultimate question we've been leading to - Does the jury system make sense? While the idea of having one's peers decide their fate in the justice system sounds idealistic, does it actually work in practice? Should laypeople be called for jury duty to assess cases that are often very complex? Are personal biases too tough to overcome for the average juror? Is the potential group think of jurors a detriment to fair legal outcomes? Essentially, do we have the jury system right? Renowned criminal lawyer Brian Greenspan joins the podcast. Hosted on Acast.

In this first of three episodes on the jury system, we examine how biased jurors tend to be. What unexpected variables factor into jury decision making? Are jurors able to check their biases at the door, or do they tend to make their minds up before all the evidence has even be presented? Are there certain cases to which juries are particularly partial in delivering a verdict of guilty or not guilty? Lee Curley, an expert in jury biases, joins the podcast. Hosted on Acast.

Criminal law expert and Stanford Law Professor David Sklansky joins Pam Karlan to discuss his book Criminal Justice in Divided America: Police, Punishment, and the Future of Our Democracy, published in January. In this episode, they explore what he sees as the failures of America's criminal justice system—from overly harsh sentences and prosecutorial abuses to the under-utilization of the jury system—that don't just harm individuals, but erode the very foundations of democratic governance. They also examine the rise and fall of community policing, the role of mental health in police encounters, and the impact of jury service on civic engagement, offering insights into how criminal justice shapes political and social landscapes while proposing steps toward reform.Sklansky, a former federal prosecutor, teaches and writes about policing, prosecution, criminal law and the law of evidence at Stanford Law, where he is also the faculty co-director of the Stanford Criminal Justice Center.Connect:Episode Transcripts >>> Stanford Legal Podcast WebsiteStanford Legal Podcast >>> LinkedIn PageRich Ford >>>  Twitter/XPam Karlan >>> Stanford Law School PageStanford Law School >>> Twitter/XStanford Lawyer Magazine >>> Twitter/XLinks:David Sklansky >>> Stanford Law pageCriminal Justice in Divided America, Police, Punishment, and the Future of Our Democracy >>> Stanford Lawyer magazine online feature(00:00:00) Chapter 1: Criminal Justice and the Erosion of DemocracyPam Karlan welcomes professor David Sklansky and explains the link between the crises of criminal justice and democracy, discussing how failures in criminal law and policy have undermined democratic values. The conversation touches on racial disparities, equal protection, and how the criminal justice system has contributed to public distrust in government institutions.(00:05:15) Chapter 2: Policing and PolarizationKarlan and Sklansky delve into the historical role of policing in fueling political polarization, particularly during the rise of crime as a central political issue in the late 20th century. Sklansky highlights the impact of police abuse on public confidence, the Republican Party's pivot toward tough-on-crime policies, and how bipartisan approaches to policing briefly improved public trust.(00:09:12) Chapter 3: The Rise and Fall of Community PolicingThe discussion focuses on community policing as a promising reform effort that ultimately fell short. Sklansky critiques its limited engagement with younger residents and those affected by police violence. He explains how the movement's failure to address systemic issues, like excessive police violence, eroded its credibility and relevance in modern reform conversations.(00:14:15) Chapter 4: Guns, Policing, and Mental Health CrisesThe discussion explores the connection between America's lax gun laws and police killings, highlighting the role of training and the unique challenges posed by mental health crises. Sklansky addresses the need for better collaboration between police and other services while emphasizing the importance of proper training in de-escalation.(00:19:00) Chapter 5: Small Police Departments and Training ChallengesKarlan and Sklansky examine the implications of having too many decentralized police departments in the U.S. They discuss issues like poor training, rehiring problematic officers, and the proliferation of SWAT teams. Sklansky offers insights on potential reforms and the influence of state and federal coordination in improving policing.(00:21:32) Chapter 6: The Role of Juries in DemocracyKarlan and Sklansky delve into the jury system as a cornerstone of democracy, discussing its impact on civic engagement, cross-sectional representation, and public trust. They highlight the need for systemic changes to improve accessibility, fair cross-section representation, and community participation in jury duty.

We are sharing the recordings of our symposium on “Judging Science,” which explores how the judiciary assesses and incorporates scientific and expert testimony in the US legal system.    Today, we are listening to Professor Valrie Hans from Cornell Law School present on “Juries Judging Science.” Her work will be published in the upcoming Vol. 26 No. 2, “Symposium Edition,” of the Columbia Science and Technology Law Review in the spring.  

In this highlight, Judge Mike Jacobs offers hope: "If you're losing faith in our system of government, just come and watch our jury system at work."

People get really weird when a murder suspect is hot, huh? Luigi Mangione needs to be extradited to New York, and he's resisting that — we discuss why it can make sense for a defendant to delay the inevitable. Also in New York, Daniel Penny has been acquitted of criminally negligent homicide in the killing of Jordan Neely. Juries can get weird. Plus: InfoWars may not be sold to The Onion after all, an expert witness in AI used AI to write his testimony and it hallucinated some fake cases (oops!), we have learned that John Doe is Jay-Z, and some Trump associates are now facing charges in Wisconsin related to defrauding the fake electors.Visit serioustrouble.show to sign up for our newsletter, and find a transcript of this episode.

Luigi Mangione, the man accused of killing Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson was taken into court and he was struggling with officers, yelling at members of the media already trying to make his case. Luigi comes from an affluent family and has this persona of being a ‘hero' by some circles on the internet. We ask Dr. Ken about juries, which he says are now deciding verdicts they want – rather than what's according to the law.

The jury in the Daniel Penny trial reported that it is “unable to come to a unanimous vote” on whether Penny committed second-degree manslaughter. Trump puts out a carefully worded statement about Pete Hegseth. Dana reflects on the legacy of Mitt Romney in his final days in government and explains why she's glad to see him go. Canada's Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc announces an immediate ban on 324 additional firearms in Canada to confiscate for Ukrainian soldiers. The Daniel Penny case has become a clown show as the judge issues Allen Charges to the jury. Biden looks like Scrooge at the annual White House Christmas Tree Lighting. The Village People's Singer praises Trump for boosting 'YMCA,' and rejects the song's ‘Gay Anthem'. Biden donors are holding back from donating to his Presidential library. The assassin of the United Healthcare CEO exposed his face in order to flirt with an employee at his hostel.

The work of court personnel and recently empaneled jurors.

Defence lawyers say there are better ways of clearing clogged courts than the government's plan to have fewer jury trials

There are few things more stressful as a trial attorney than the jury selection process. Even if you're confident in your case, your arguments have been tested and refined, and every piece of evidence is on your side, picking jurors is a stark reminder that so much is out of your control. And because the ways in which all of us receive and retain information is changing, it's up to attorneys to adapt the ways in which they approach jurors.From the effects of polarization,the expectations around evidence, and generally shorter attention spans, there is so much to unpack about the way juries continue to evolve. Thankfully, I'm joined by Jury Consultant and Strategic Advisor, Dr. Christina Marinakis to help me do just that. With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Marinakis is the CEO and Founder of Immersion Legal which specialize in jury research, jury study, and applied practice in law and psychology.  Dr. Marinakis has assisted trial counsel with jury selection and daily trial monitoring across the country on some of the most substantial cases of our time, including her assistance to the prosecution with jury selection in State of Minnesota v. Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd.This is definitely a conversation for the trial attorneys out there, but anyone with a passing curiosity in jury-trials will enjoy this peek behind the curtain. Enjoy the show. 

Researchers with @colorofchange have made a shocking discovery: for decades, prosecutors in Alameda County, California, worked to systematically exclude Black and Jewish individuals from jury participation in order to produce juries that were more likely to support capital punishment. Michael Collins, Senior Director of Government Affairs at Color Of Change, joins Rattling the Bars for a revealing discussion on prosecutor misconduct, and what these findings tell us about the state of the criminal injustice system.Studio / Post-Production: Cameron GranadinoHelp us continue producing Rattling the Bars by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Sign up for our newsletterLike us on FacebookFollow us on TwitterDonate to support this podcast
