Peter Sullivan has been released from prison after spending 38 years behind bars for a murder he didn't commit. In 1986, 21-year-old Diane Sindall was brutally murdered but it has now been proved that police got the wrong man. DNA found on her body does not belong to Peter Sullivan. Why did it take so long to prove his innocence and is the body that investigates possible miscarriages of justice fit for purpose?

This episode begins with a brief mention of the passing of our longtime friend, Coun. Jason Schreyer, which was announced Wednesday morning. More about Jason tocome.Part 1- Updates on our stories on the go:- A youth soccer club failed to address the bullying by an 11 year old by antisemitic club mates. This was a litmus test asthe victim was mistakenly believed to be Jewish. It was, in fact, a hate crime.- A few problems at the "information meeting" about bike lanes organized by Public Works chair Janice Lukes. The session ended early due to the behavior of some of the attendees- the ones she invited.- The City is holding the additional Four Plex Open Houses this week, to poor reviews- Marty's post-election analysis is in Wednesday's Winnipeg Sun Singh crashes NDP Party and takes his pension with him13.40 Part 2- Some thoughts about antisemitism during the campaign and the influence of Hamas supporters on Liberal candidates and on Jagmeet Singh; a media mention of CPC MP Ted Falk being re-elected proves how openly biased our local media is.21.20- Elections Canada Malfunctions We Have Uncovered Point To Fraudulent Votes.Advance polling and election day incidents demonstrate absurd gaps in the Elections Canada process which ultimately allows illegal votes to be counted. We are preparing more questions for officials. 29.00- Chances to catch up with Marty are coming up around local communities when he hosts CWE events this spring.32.00 Part 3- The script got flipped at the Legislature on April 24 when the Justice Committee heard from the public on Bill 43- amendments to the Human Rights Codeto create infractions to supposedly protect transgender people.Committee chair Logan Oxenham, the MLA for Kirkfield Park, was flustered when presenter Don Woodstock raised a 'what-if' he adopted part of a controversial rap song title and used 'Wet/Pussy' as his pronouns. A former Juvenile Correctional Officer and Counsellor at the Manitoba Youth Centre, Oxenham is the architect of numerous Manitoba gender policies because 'he used to be a she.' This is someone considered an "expert."43.40- Instead of upholding the right to your own pronouns as proposed in the Bill, Oxenham chose to interrupt Woodstock with a moral lecture that immediately backfired.Oxenham: "Words matter in this room so please be mindful going forward with your presentation of using appropriate language"Woodstock: "So I must come to you for permission to decide what pronouns I use or what I identify as - is that what you're telling me??"Woodstock continued to expose the misguided direction of the Bill, explaining how inventing new offences in case LGBTQ+ are offended "may put a target on their backs. Be careful what you wish for in this." There are probably cabinet members who have twerked to the song, but average citizens aren't allowed to utter the song name in front of them?Hear Woodstock's argument that more important issues- including rampant crime and keeping society safe- should be the NDP's priority instead of virtue signaling with legislation designed to make the process the punishment for anyone accused of offending transgender individuals.48.00 - Listen to Woodstock challenge the pronoun-wielding Health Minister Ozuma Asagwara and the NDP for policing language when it won't "protect the vulnerable among us. Who you kidding? you aren't fooling me." There will be more audio from that hearing on the next podcast.*****No one in the Winnipeg media works harder to earn your support.

Christopher Luxon says he has no regrets about the Treaty Principles Bill. Parliament's Justice Committee has recommended the bill not proceed when it returns to the House, after public submissions were overwhelmingly opposed to it. The Prime Minister says it's time for the debate to end. He told Mike Hosking allowing the bill to proceed to committee stage, but refusing to support it any further, is the right approach. LISTEN ABOVE OR WATCH BELOW See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
There's plenty of lingering questions about the future of the Treaty Principles Bill. More than 300,000 written submissions were made to Parliament's Justice Committee - 90 percent of which opposed the bill. NZ Herald political reporter Jamie Ensor says David Seymour has refused to back down, and he's disputed the public is against the bill.

After 300,000 submissions, tens of thousands of feet on the road in one of the biggest hikoi this country has ever seen - and tens of thousands of tax-payer dollars spent on the debate, the Parliament's Justice Committee has recommended that ACT's Treaty Principles Bill not proceed. ACT campaigned on holding a public vote to scrap the principles that have been established through the courts - such as partnership - and codifying in law a new interpretation focused on what it says is "all New Zealanders being "equal under the law". The Justice Committee revealed that 90 percent of submissions were opposed, 8 percent supported the bill and and 2 percent were unsure. Massey Professor of Politics Richard Shaw speaks to Mihi.
The Justice Committee is recommending Parliament vote the Treaty Principles Bill down. Out of 300,000 submissions, 90% were opposed, but ACT leader David Seymour still wants a referendum. Justice Select Committee Chair James Meager says the committees wants to "get on with things that are actually growing the economy and making a change to people's lives." LISTEN ABOVE.

Parliament has voted to allow the Justice Committee to continue processing submissions on the Treaty principles bill, even after the committee's work on the bill is finished. This will allow them to be collected along with the submissions that were considered by the committee as part of its report. We chat with the Clerk of the House of Representatives, David Wilson for background on the parliamentary rules and processes behind this move. Go to this episode on rnz.co.nz for more details
A somewhat unexpected stance on the Treaty Principles Bill from Labour's Justice spokesperson. Parliament's Justice Committee is reporting the Bill back to the House tomorrow - a month earlier than anticipated. This means thousands of submissions won't be considered, with not enough time to get through them all. Duncan Webb says although he disagrees with many submissions - they still deserve to be heard. "I don't like this bill - I hate it, I want it gone. But if we're going to invite people to have their say, that's a critically important thing."

On this episode of Legislative Review: We take a look at a couple of bills that are making there way through the Senate Law and Justice Committee.
A former National Minister has told the Justice Committee the Treaty Principles Bill is "irretrievably flawed" and a former Prime Minister says the Bill has "damaged the collective fabric of the nation." The comments were made as the oral submissions on the Treaty Principles Bill continued today. But as Lillian Hanly reports, there were voices strongly in favour of the bill too - which led to some debate among submitters.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Political correspondent Sam Sokol and reporter Diana Bletter join host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today's episode. Recently, attempts are being made to restart the controversial judicial overhaul legislation and last week, Sokol spoke with one of its architects, MK Simcha Rothman. We hear about Rothman’s perspective on why it is needed and in fact protects Israel's democracy. The Knesset Constitution, Law and Justice Committee will soon begin holding hearings on a proposed bill applying a Basic Law requiring a public referendum for land-for-peace deals to the West Bank and Israeli territorial waters, the Knesset’s right-wing Land of Israel Caucus announced on Wednesday. What is this bill and why do those who proposed it believe it will be passed at this time. Bletter went to the northern coastal city of Nahariya yesterday to witness how during the ceasefire, hospitals are moving from war footing and out of their bunkers. She brings tales from the maternity ward. Last week, Bletter visited Haifa to see how residents are -- once again -- celebrating the annual Holiday of Holidays that honors the mixed city's three major religions.

If you follow news out of Israel these days—and who doesn't?—you may have caught the story early this week that Israel's Supreme Court issued a ruling that the government may not exempt the haredim (Israel's ultra-orthodox community) from military service. The ruling went further, though, than just ending an exemption from service: the court ruled that government funding must be cut off from any yeshivas (schools) that do not comply with the ruling.Aside from the legal reasoning behind this ruling is the larger question of the continuing arrogation of power by Israel's high court. Last month John Yoo and Steve Hayward, overseas for a conference on international law, sat with with Simcha Rothman, a senior member of the Knesset who, as chair of the Knesset's Constitution, Law and Justice Committee, has been deeply involved with proposals to reform and rein in the runaway judiciary. This controversy was roiling Israeli politics last year until the events of October 7 put it on the back burner, but we think Americans will be surprised to learn more about the peculiar circumstances of Israeli's judiciary. If you think America's judiciary can be activist and unaccountable, just wait till you hear from Simcha.Toward the end we also move on to a general discussion of the Gaza War.
The Justice Committee has begun its inquiry into last year's election. It got some pretty solid and very polite suggestions right up front.
The authors of The Wall Between: What Jews and Palestinians Don't Want to Know About Each Other join Ontario Today for a frank discussion about the campus protests against the war in Gaza. Raja Khouri is a former Ontario Human Rights Commissioner and founder of the Canadian Arab Institute. Jeffrey Wilkinson is an American born Jewish educator.
Terrorists in the Middle East do not despise America only because the U.S. supports Israel, but because America is a Western society, according to Simcha Rothman, a member of the Knesset, Israel's parliament.“But people that attack us, they are after the U.S. just the same,” Rothman says. “The chant in Iran—‘Death to America, Death to Israel'—it's not a typo that America comes first,” Rothman asserts, adding that terrorists in the Middle East view Israel “as part of Western society that is stuck in the middle of the Middle East.” Because Western ideals threaten the radical ideology Islamic terrorists hold, this makes Israel, and America, an enemy, according to the Knesset member. Within the Knesset, Rothman serves as the chairman of the Constitution, Law, and Justice Committee and as a co-chairman of the “Land of Israel” caucus. Rothman joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss what is driving the anti-Israel protests on America's college campuses, where the hostage negotiations stand between Israel and Hamas, and how Israel should navigate the ongoing war with Hamas to ensure there is not another Oct. 7-style attack.

Proponents of Initiative 2113 to reduce requirements for law enforcement to engage in vehicle pursuits expressed frustration at how a Wednesday morning legislative public hearing on the initiative was conducted. Testimony before both the Senate Law & Justice Committee and the House Community Safety, Justice & Reentry Committee did not begin until 30 minutes into the one-hour hearing due to majority party Democrats asking questions of committee staff members. One of the questions asked of staff came from Rep. Tara Simmons, D-Bremerton, who suggested recent studies prove that when police pursuit restrictions are loosened, it increases racial profiling. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/washington-in-focus/support

We talk to Fianna Fáil TD for Kildare North and Chair Oireachtas Joint Committee on Justice, James Lawless.
The story of Israel's judicial reform battles from the perspective of one of the initiative's main architects. Member of Knesset Simḥa Rothman (Religious Zionism) joins Yehuda HaKohen for a discussion on the Supreme Court's recent move to strike down the government's cancelation of the "reasonableness" clause that has historically been used by the court to overturn Knesset legislation. Rothman, who heads the Knesset's Constitution, Law and Justice Committee and was one of the two main architects of the judicial reform legislation, also sheds light on some of the lesser known parts of the national drama surrounding judicial reform.
Minister for Justice Helen McEntee will be going before the Justice Committee later today. Speaking to Ciara this morning was Robbie Gallagher a Fianna Fail Senator and member of the Committee.

Politicians from opposing sides want special votes to be counted more quickly. Special votes and the final election result will be released in nine days, giving the final makeup of Parliament. National and ACT can govern alone on current numbers, but those may change once November 3rd comes around. Labour's Megan Woods told Mike Hosking that she doesn't see how allowing people to enrol on the day adds a week to counting specials. National's Mark Mitchell agrees. He said the Justice Committee will conduct an electoral review. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Here's a topic that has not been covered on this show, but I want to cover it because it's not only important to the health of our own minds, but to the world around us.The amounts spent on pornography in just the United States is staggering, and no one is immune from the risk. It's more accessible than ever before; and the barriers of shame that once existed have been lifted. Perhaps the most vulnerable to the dangers of porn are the children, who simply have not developed morally to even understand what addiction is, let alone take action once it has occurred.Kristen Jenson has provided an incredibly valuable service with two easy to read books that describe the nature of porn, how to recognize it, and how to make a plan of action on how to avoid its destructive nature and enjoy sex as we were created to!Here's a bit of what you'll hear in today's episode:-Porn is all too often the #1 perpetrator of molestation among youth...06:00-Definition, warning, plan: ways we can teach children to reject pornography...10:00-How to know if your child might be exposed to porn...16:30-The physical and spiritual repercussions of children and adults being exposed to porn...24:00-Challenges parents face when confronting the porn issue with their kids...32:38-We implore you to take matters into your own hands when it comes to porn...37:30-Rejecting porn alerts young people to rejecting potential sexual abuse...39:30-And more...Resources mentioned:Defend Young MindsGood Pictures, Bad PicturesConnect with today's guest!Kristen A.

Times of Israel editor David Horovitz and Zman Yisrael editor Biranit Goren join host Amanda Borschel-Dan in today's episode. Three months after it was frozen, the judicial overhaul was officially restarted yesterday with deliberations in the Knesset's Constitution, Law and Justice Committee. Why do critics call it a “pathway to corruption”? Hollywood producer Arnon Milchan testified yesterday in the prime minister's ongoing corruption trial, Case 1000. What did we hear?

The 2019 police killing of Kawaski Trawick inside his own Bronx apartment has not received the same attention as similar cases across the country. But this week, an NYPD disciplinary trial began for two officers involved in the fatal shooting. The NYPD says the 32-year-old rushed at officers while holding a knife during the interaction, which lasted under two minutes and was caught on body camera footage. The Trawick family and advocates are calling for accountability after the Bronx district attorney declined to bring charges and an internal NYPD probe found no wrongdoing. The administrative trial will resume in mid-May. In an effort to understand the fatal encounter better, Errol Louis talked about the case with Kawaski Trawick's parents, Ellen and Ricky Trawick; Loyda Colon, the executive director of the nonprofit Justice Committee; Eric Umansky, the editor at large from ProPublica; and Marinda van Dalen, a senior staff attorney for New York Lawyers for the Public Interest.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Editor David Horovitz and environment reporter Sue Surkes join host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today's episode.

With a focus on Israel, Surkes breaks down some areas where the country is moving away from its commitments. Surkes recently visited the Hula Lake where she investigated what's happening with migrating cranes. She describes the natural grandeur. And finally, Horovitz gives some insight into Israe's surprisingly high fourth-place ranking in the UN-sponsored World Happiness index.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Senior analyst Haviv Rettig Gur and health and science writer Nathan Jeffay join host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast. Rettig Gur discusses why the architects of the judicial reform, head of the Knesset's Constitution, Law and Justice Committee, MK Simcha Rothman Simcha Rothman and Justice Minister Yariv Levin are in such a rush to push through their proposed legislation, and what role President Isaac Herzog can play during the tense discussions taking place and whether he can succeed. Jeffay looks at scientific research carried out in three very different areas; he explains the work done by a startup lab that has taught rats to detect lung cancer by sniffing urine, and how that process could allay the first stages of cancer detection. He also talks about certain hair straightening chemicals found to cause kidney failure, now banned in Israel. Finally, Jeffay looks at high number of nearsightedness cases in Haredi men, presumably due to Talmud study, as those who learn full time pour over columns of small text for hours each day. Discussed articles include: The judiciary fight is fueled by deep distrust; that makes compromise elusive Lab claims it teaches rats to detect lung cancer with 93% accuracy by sniffing urine Some hair-straightening products can cause kidney failure – pioneering Israeli study Haredi men three times as likely to be nearsighted, probably due to Talmud study Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hi Daily Briefing listeners, welcome to our second episode of What Matters Now, a new weekly podcast exploration into one key issue shaping Israel and the Jewish World — right now. In a rare moment of agreement, Israeli media from all sides of the political spectrum is closely following the proposed legislation for judicial overhauls — some of which will have their first preliminary votes early next week. And while almost everyone seems to agree that there is a need for a judicial overhaul, many ask, why so extreme and why so fast? For weeks we've reported on protests in the street, sharp rebukes from legal experts, and businessmen threatening to take their money elsewhere. The President of Israel Isaac Herzog waded in and asked legislators for a pause for reconsideration and potential compromise. But one who doesn't think the overhaul is all that radical is the Member of Knesset who wrote the bills that are being determinedly pushed through, Simcha Rothman from the Religious Zionism party. For the past decade, Rothman, a lawyer by training, has worked towards this legislation through his advocacy work at Meshilut, the Movement for Governability and Democracy. A fixture in the halls of the Knesset, Rothman has written books and lobbied for what he terms a stronger democracy -- through a rebalancing of power from the Supreme Court to the Knesset. A member of Knesset since 2021, Rothman is clearly one of the most driven lawmakers in the new coalition. As the chair of the Constitution, Law and Justice Committee, he is fast-tracking these first points of reform, which include judicial appointments, curbing the Supreme Court's test of reasonability, a slim override clause and severely limiting the High Court of Justice's ability to strike down Basic Laws. This week, days before a first vote on Monday for two proposals, I made my way through the labyrinth of the Knesset to speak with Rothman and hear why these reforms, and why so quickly. What Matters Now podcasts are available for download on iTunes, TuneIn, Pocket Casts, Stitcher, PlayerFM or wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Military reporter Emanuel Fabian and political correspondent Tal Schneider join host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast. Fabian offers update on aftermath of Friday night terrorist attack that killed seven, following press conference Sunday with Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, who said the police had sealed the terrorist's family home and that Israel would revoke rights of family members and deport them, if needed. Schneider discusses the latest in the government's planned overhaul of the legal system, as attorney Gur Bligh, legal advisor of the Constitution, Law and Justice Committee, pushes back at Knesset law panel chair MK Simcha Rothman, suggesting holding off on the judicial reform package until the next election cycle. Fabian speaks about the Saturday night drone attack that struck a defense facility in the Iranian city of Isfahan, and was carried out by Israel, according to reports from The New York Times. Fabian discusses the purpose behind the reported attack, ostensibly to protect Israel's own security interests. Discussed articles include: Defense minister: Every terrorist will either go to court or the cemetery Knesset law panel chair seeks to expedite judicial upheaval, with some changes Knesset legal adviser: Judicial overhaul should take effect only after next election Report: Israel carried out drone attack on Iranian defense facility Subscribe to The Times of Israel Daily Briefing on iTunes, Spotify, PlayerFM, Google Play, or wherever you get your podcasts.
