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. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Xanthe and Tim examine the jury secrecy principle with barrister and academic Jason Donnelly. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

This is the third episode of six in the special “Symposium Edition Podcast” of STLR Conversations. 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.

A jury in Nevada has delivered a $5.2 billion award in the latest large-sum lawsuit against a former Las Vegas-based bottled water company that was found responsible for causing liver damage in customers before it was recalled from store shelves in 2021. A 12-day trial ended with the verdict in the negligence and product liability case against Affinitylifestyles.com Inc. and its Real Water brand, according to Clark County District Court records. The jury awarded about $230 million in compensatory damages and $5 billion in punitive damages to Hunter Brown and several other plaintiffs. Attorney Will Kemp, representing plaintiffs, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal he expects Real Water's insurance company to fight paying damages because the company has filed for bankruptcy. Affinitylifestyles.com was headed by Brent Jones, who served as a Republican Nevada state Assembly member from 2016 to 2018. Jones and attorneys for the company did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment. Juries have previously delivered separate verdicts against the company, awarding plaintiffs almost $3.1 billion in June, $130 million in February and $228 million in October 2023. Juries have been told that tests found Real Water contained hydrazine, a chemical used in rocket fuel that may have been introduced during treatment before bottling. Defense attorneys have cast the company as unintentionally negligent, not reckless, because it didn't know hydrazine was in the water and didn't know to test for it. Kemp represents additional plaintiffs in several more civil lawsuits still pending against the company. Real Water was sold in distinctive boxy blue bottles as premium treated “alkalized” drinking water with healthy detoxifying properties. It was distributed to stores throughout the Southwest including Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and the Los Angeles area, and also was delivered to homes in large bottles before being pulled off shelves in March 2021.

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.

When Sean Claggett says that it's rare for a lawyer armed with data to lose at trial, he has the data to back it up.The evidence can be found in the pages of JuryBall: The Big Data Revolution is Here, the groundbreaking book that Sean wrote with Alicia Campbell and John Campbell. As Sean explains to host Dan Ambrose, their research made it clear that lawyers should reject the notion that jury trials are risky because “you never know what a jury is going to do… I think juried behavior is very predictable.” In this wide-ranging conversation, Sean recounts the genesis of JuryBall, his recent $24.6 million verdict in a med-mal case, and the tracks he'll teach at TLU VEGAS.Train and Connect with the Titans☑️ Sean Claggett | LinkedIn | Email ☑️ Claggett & Sykes on LinkedIn | X | Facebook | Instagram ☑️ Sean's book with Alicia Campbell and John Campbell: JuryBall: The Big Data Revolution is Here☑️ TLU VEGAS☑️ Trial Lawyers University☑️ TLU On Demand Instant access to live lectures, case analysis, and skills training videos☑️ TLU on X | Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn☑️ Subscribe Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTubeEpisode SnapshotBackground of Sean's med-mal case that ended in a $24.6 million verdictDays in the life: How Sean and his team prepped for the trialAre you a five-figure lawyer?

In a late night verdict, former dancer Ashley Benefield is convicted of manslaughter days after she testified about the night she shot her estranged husband to death. In San Diego, prosecutors ask if a delayed police response allowed a murder to happen. And after a third high-profile hung jury in two months, we ask a jury expert what's going on.

He has also obtained settlements or verdicts exceeding a million dollars for his clients on nearly fifty separate occasions, recovering in excess of four million dollars or more on over half of those cases. 

No matter the case, no matter the client, you need a compelling story to convince the jury to award damages. “You want that million dollars?” asks jury trial consultant Jesse Wilson. “Tell me the ‘try' story. Tell me how somebody is trying to overcome their pain.” In this conversation with host Dan Ambrose, Jesse describes how this approach yields results. In one case he consulted on, a plaintiff who had been injured in a car wreck – and even gone back to work – got a $2.5 million settlement, after initially only being offered $80,000. Jesse calls his tactic the “victim-to-victor” approach, and he'll teach it at the upcoming TLU Vegas.

The future of Artificial Intelligence boils down to two possibilities: it's either your average search engine that's been overblown or it's an amazing experiment already being leveraged at its infancy. More than likely the future will be fueled by augmented intelligence – meaning it needs human involvement supported by AI. Increased levels of intelligent automation will result in big shakeups for knowledge workers as new features roll out that will boost productivity and remove factors such as human error, biases, and emotional reactions. Today Jack Russo heads over to Latte With a Lawyer to discuss how AI will be applied to things like jury selection and more.

This Day in Legal History:On May 6, 1882, a pivotal moment in U.S. immigration history occurred with the signing of the Chinese Exclusion Act by President Chester A. Arthur. This federal law marked the first and only time that the United States explicitly barred a specific ethnic or national group from immigrating to the country, specifically targeting Chinese laborers. The Act not only prevented Chinese workers from entering the U.S. but also prohibited them from becoming U.S. citizens, denying them the legal rights and protections afforded to citizens.The enactment of the Chinese Exclusion Act was driven by widespread anti-Chinese sentiment in the Western U.S., where economic competition, racial prejudice, and cultural misunderstandings had stoked public and political pressure against Chinese immigrants. Labor movements, particularly on the Pacific Coast, rallied against Chinese laborers, who were often scapegoated for low wages and economic hardships experienced by white workers.Senator Joseph Hawley of Connecticut stood as a vocal opponent of the Act, predicting its harsh judgment by future generations. His prophetic criticism highlighted the injustice embedded in the legislation, foreseeing its negative historical assessment. Indeed, the Act was seen in hindsight as a significant breach of American ideals regarding immigration and equality.The Chinese Exclusion Act laid the groundwork for subsequent restrictive immigration policies. It was not until December 17, 1943, amid World War II and shifting geopolitical alliances, that the Magnuson Act was passed by Congress at the behest of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. This Act repealed the Chinese Exclusion laws, albeit with limited Chinese immigration still imposed, and allowed Chinese residents in the U.S. to become naturalized citizens, signaling a slow transformation in American immigration policy towards inclusivity. Today, the Chinese Exclusion Act is often studied as a stark example of racially discriminatory legislation, reminding us of the ongoing journey toward broader civil rights and equality in America.The U.S. Labor Department has introduced a new rule to expand overtime protections, which is causing concern among employers about potential legal challenges similar to those experienced in 2016. Previously, an attempt to increase overtime eligibility was halted by federal courts just days before its implementation, causing confusion for businesses that had already adjusted pay and staffing. The current rule aims to increase the salary threshold for overtime eligibility among "white collar" workers under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Starting July 1, employees making less than $43,888 annually will be eligible for overtime, expanding to less than $58,656 by January 1, capturing an additional 4 million workers.Employers face the choice of either raising salaries to maintain exemption or restructuring staffing to manage overtime costs. The new rule represents a significant increase from the current threshold of $35,568, with a projected economic impact including a $1.5 billion annual income shift from employers to workers. This change not only increases wages through overtime but also by encouraging salary raises to keep certain employees exempt. Despite the risk of legal setbacks, businesses are advised to prepare for the changes, assessing their economic and cultural impacts and making necessary adjustments. This rule is also expected to positively affect the workforce by potentially increasing hiring and converting part-time jobs to full-time positions.The substantial changes in salary thresholds affect millions of workers, making it a crucial legal and economic issue.Employers Mull OT Rule Compliance Strategy Despite Legal Déjà VuIn Massachusetts, the practice of using six-person juries in civil cases, initially a necessity during the pandemic, is finding continued favor among litigants, lawyers, and judges due to its efficiency. The state's Supreme Judicial Court had mandated smaller juries as a temporary measure but reverted to the standard twelve-person juries in January. Despite this, the legal community is less insistent on the larger jury size, recognizing the speed and cost-effectiveness of smaller juries, especially given the ongoing backlog of cases caused by court closures during the pandemic.Judges and attorneys have observed that smaller juries expedite the trial process, from jury selection to trial proceedings, as they reduce logistical complications like scheduling conflicts among jurors. For example, Massachusetts Superior Court Judge Peter Krupp noted his positive experiences with juries of six to eight members, highlighting their efficiency in managing cases. Additionally, the flexibility in jury size is seen as a tool to help clear the dockets and maintain the flow of judicial processes.While there is some concern about the potential impact of smaller juries on trial outcomes, with opinions varying depending on whether a party has the burden of proof, the consensus is that smaller juries do not inherently disadvantage either side. They also minimize the risk of a hung jury by reducing the number of jurors who might disagree. Nonetheless, the importance of preserving critical jury selection processes, like peremptory challenges and thorough voir dire, is emphasized to ensure that smaller juries remain fair and unbiased.Overall, the shift towards smaller juries is seen as a practical adaptation that balances judicial efficiency with the need for fairness in the legal process, suggesting that this practice may continue to be utilized to manage the caseload effectively while addressing the constraints of the judicial system.Massachusetts Judges, Trial Bar Embrace Six-Person JuriesBerkshire Hathaway, the conglomerate headed by Warren Buffett, faces significant legal challenges regarding its utility business, particularly with wildfires in Oregon. Greg Abel, recognized as Buffett's likely successor, stated during Berkshire's annual shareholder meeting that all litigation against the utility, specifically targeting PacifiCorp, is baseless and will be contested. This statement follows a recent lawsuit where 1,000 victims claimed $30 billion in damages, alleging PacifiCorp's responsibility for the 2020 Oregon wildfires. This comes in addition to $825 million already paid or owed by PacifiCorp for other related wildfire claims.Abel acknowledged that managing wildfire risks has been a substantial challenge, marking the first time such issues have caused considerable financial strain on one of Berkshire's utilities. Despite methods available to utilities to mitigate wildfire risks—such as insulating wires, managing vegetation, and burying transmission lines—the practice of shutting off power during high-risk scenarios was not initially adopted by PacifiCorp. Abel noted that the cultural focus at Berkshire's utility companies had been on maintaining power supply, especially to critical services like hospitals and fire stations, even during the wildfires.Recently, legislative actions in Utah have allowed utilities to impose surcharges to fund wildfire prevention and limit liability on certain claims, which Abel referred to as the "gold standard." Moving forward, Berkshire is adjusting its policies to shut off power proactively during wildfires and is investing cautiously in its utility operations to enhance their safety and reliability without unnecessary expenditure. Abel emphasized the importance of disciplined investment in this area, reflecting Buffett's philosophy of avoiding further loss by not investing additional resources unwisely.Berkshire executive calls wildfire claims against its utility business unfounded | ReutersThe United Auto Workers (UAW) successfully ratified a new labor agreement with Daimler Truck, continuing its recent series of successful negotiations that began with the Detroit Three automakers last fall. This progress in labor negotiations underscores a significant period of union activity aimed at expanding UAW's influence within the auto industry, especially targeting non-union U.S. factories primarily owned by foreign automakers.A significant milestone was achieved when workers at Volkswagen's Chattanooga plant in Tennessee voted to join the UAW, an effort led by UAW President Shawn Fain to unionize American factories operated by overseas companies. This victory is part of a broader strategy to address worker conditions and wages across the industry, notably as the UAW sets its sights on upcoming union votes, such as the one at the Mercedes assembly plant in Alabama scheduled between May 13 and May 17.The timeline of UAW activities highlights aggressive organizing efforts and strategic negotiations over the past year, marked by notable wage increases across various companies and successful contract negotiations impacting around 150,000 U.S. workers. These efforts are part of a larger UAW campaign to enhance worker rights and compensation in the traditionally non-union sectors of the U.S. auto industry, signaling a potentially transformative period for labor relations in this sector.UAW workers ratify deal with Daimler as focus shifts to voting at Mercedes | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

It took almost a week to select the jurors and alternates for the Manhattan trial of former President Donald Trump. This hour is all about juries. We'll talk about jury selection, how to root out potential bias, and the process of choosing an impartial jury in this day and age. Plus, we'll look at depictions of juries in popular culture. And, some of the jury selection questions have to do with what media a person consumes, so we'll look at what the media we consume can say about us, and discuss media bias.

Many people are asking the question: "Can prosecutors really impanel fair and impartial juries to decide the many criminal cases against Donald Trump?" Glenn discusses the selection of the juries that have just ruled against him. Over the course of three trials; 3 juries (totaling 30 jurors) have unanimously found against Donald Trump and his namesake, the Trump Organization. These results provide some important foreshadowing regarding how future juries are likely to resolve the four criminal cases pending against Trump.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Our judicial system is being destroyed by incompetent, biased judges and juries. Lawfare has become a methodology to destroy political and ideological opponents, including Donald Trump and Mark Steyn.

In this hodgepodge of an episode, we traipse through a variety of subjects including the Michigan shooter's mom, Wendy Williams' Adderall, Zoomer's tips, and AOC's cockamamie theories about Bronx thugs.

The Tragic Tale of Kouri and Eric Richins: A Poisoning Mystery Unraveled  What happens when the person you trust the most becomes a suspect in your untimely demise? This question forms the crux of a recent episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers," where host Tony Brueski and former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer delve into the chilling case of Kouri Richins and her late husband, Eric Richins. The episode explores the complex layers of a suspected murder, mental health, and the intricacies of legal defense in such convoluted cases.    Eric Richins was found dead with an overdose of fentanyl in his system, believed to have been administered by his wife, Kouri, through a Moscow Mule cocktail. But the plot thickens as more substances, including Kouri's prescription antipsychotic medications used as sleep aids, were discovered in his system. This revelation raises a critical question: Was this a case of a drug addict stealing medication, or a sinister plot by Kouri to end her husband's life?    Jennifer Coffindaffer, with her expertise in criminal investigations, offers a grim view of the evidence. "This evidence looks very negative toward Kouri Richins," she states, pointing to the repeated attempts to poison Eric. The presence of antipsychotic drugs, typically prescribed for conditions like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, adds another layer to the case. Could these medications indicate a potential defense strategy based on mental health?    The conversation between Brueski and Coffindaffer ventures into the realm of legal defense strategies. They discuss the possibility of Kouri's legal team presenting her actions as the result of a psychotic episode, a defense that, while potentially valid, is often not well-received by juries. "Juries don't tend to like to go down those roads. They like justice," Coffindaffer remarks, highlighting the challenges of such a defense.    The episode also touches upon the actions of Kouri Richins within the prison system, including her attempts to manipulate situations from behind bars. This behavior, coupled with the premeditation suggested by the case details, paints a picture of a deeply troubled individual. The discovery of letters in her prison cell, which she claims are part of a book manuscript, could be used to bolster a defense centered on mental illness.    However, as Coffindaffer points out, the calculated nature of the alleged poisoning contradicts the typical characteristics of a psychotic episode, which are often spontaneous and violent. This discrepancy raises doubts about the viability of a mental health defense. "It would be the longest psychotic episode on record," she quips, underscoring the complexity of the case.    The podcast episode ends with a thought-provoking discussion on the future of the case. Will Kouri Richins' defense team be able to construct a compelling argument based on her mental health, or will the evidence of premeditation and manipulation overshadow any attempts to paint her actions as the result of a mental disorder?    As listeners are left pondering the fate of Kouri Richins and the tragic death of Eric Richins, one question lingers: In the intricate dance of law and psychology, where does the line between mental illness and calculated murder blur? The case of Kouri and Eric Richins, as explored in "Hidden Killers," serves as a stark reminder of the complexities and tragedies that can arise when love, trust, and mental health collide in the most devastating ways.

Juries have the ability to vote “not guilty” even when it's clear the accused violated established law. If a jury judges a law as unjust and refuses to convict, is that a needed recourse within our judicial system, or contrary to objective and universal justice?  Attorney Paul Townsend joins to discuss.

It's totally bonkers that in the US and other countries, the job of determining the guilt or innocence of an accused criminal – whose life may be at stake – is left not to experts in law but to a group of random citizens. Even crazier, it generally works!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
