Last month, Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson sought death warrants for three convicted murderers – once again thrusting a spotlight on capital punishment in a state that hasn't executed a death row inmate in 20 years. Despite the lack of executions, a Las Vegas Review-Journal investigation found prosecutors pursued the death penalty at least 220 times over that span. It raises the question: If no one is being executed, why pursue the death penalty so often? Host Jesse Merrick is joined by Review-Journal Reporters Katelyn Newberg and Noble Brigham, as well as public defender and former City Cast Las Vegas host Dayvid Figler, to find out. Read Katelyn and Noble's original investigation here. Read more on the Zane Floyd case here. Want to get in touch? Follow us @CityCastVegas on Instagram, or email us at lasvegas@citycast.fm.

Story of the Week (DR):Jeff Shell, president and board director at Paramount Skydance, is stepping down after allegations of SEC violationsShell came under scrutiny after gambler and whistleblower R.J. Cipriani filed a $150M lawsuit alleging Shell shared confidential information in violation of SEC rules.Shell previously left his role as NBCUniversal CEO in 2023 after he admitted to having an “inappropriate relationship” with an employee.The company said it did not find an SEC violation. Paramount added in a statement that the claims were “baseless” and said Shell is taking “forceful legal action.”His future at Paramount has been in question since the company beat Netflix in a bidding war in February to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery The acquisition of WBD will bring in many new executives, and Shell, who was not involved in deal talks, didn't have a defined role at a combined company, CNBC reported last month.Yesterday, a Separation Agreement was announced: Shell will be getting approximately $16M:$5M Cash Severance ($3.5M salary + $1.5M bonus)$11M Equity Acceleration (1,000,000 shares @ $10.95=$10.95M)12 months of COBRA benefits COBRA/Subsidies ~$30,000According to the agreement: “The Executive shall not issue a press statement announcing about the separation without the advance approval of the Company” and “Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed as an admission of wrongdoing or liability on the part of the Company or of the Executive”“The problem is Sam Altman”: OpenAI Insiders don't trust CEO DRInside Sources Say Sam Altman Is a SociopathOpenAI Insiders Claim Sam Altman is Lying, Manipulative, and Untrustworthy in The New Yorker's InvestigationSam Altman's Really Weird Week Just Got Even WorseTwo OpenAI Execs Are Going on Medical LeaveThe company's chief marketing officer Kate Rouch is reportedly stepping down to recover from cancer.And Fidji Simo, OpenAI's CEO of artificial general intelligence development — and arguably one of the AI company's most important cogs — is taking medical leave.“For my entire time here, I've postponed medical tests and new therapies to stay completely focused on the job and not miss a single day of work”Proxy adviser ISS recommended a vote against the BP board for revoking two resolutions from 2015 and 2019 requiring company-specific climate reporting which passed with near 100% support at the time.At the same time, Activist shareholder Follow This agreed with ISS and warned of possible legal action after BP refused to put a separate shareholder resolution on the agenda of its April 23 AGMOklahoma bill would block climate change lawsuits against fossil fuel companiesA measure introduced in the legislature this year would prohibit anyone in Oklahoma from suing fossil fuel companies for damages related to the effects of climate change or greenhouse gas emissions.Rep. Anthony Moore (R-Clinton) said the legislation would protect the industry, which includes any company working with oil and gas, coal, natural gas liquids or refined petroleum products: “The reality is, if you were to get that judgment, billions and billions of dollars, that's just passed on to the taxpayer — that would be passed on at the pump, that would be passed on through electricity costs, energy costs across the board would dramatically change. There's no reason that that has any place in any court of law, but especially in Oklahoma.”Rep. Anthony Moore won a state championship in golf; minored in Bible in college; began his professional career as a landman in the oil and gas industry; his law practice focuses primarily on oil and gas; and has received numerous recognitions for his for his work representing oil and gas mineral owners, earning Super Lawyers Rising Star recognition in the field of oil and gas law for five consecutive years.Mark Cuban admits he made a mistake letting go of the Mavericks: ‘I don't regret selling.

The first is a strong desire to please people, to be liked in any given interaction. The second is almost a sociopathic lack of concern for the consequences that may come from deceiving someone.”“Altman is not a technical savant—according to many in his orbit, he lacks extensive expertise in coding or machine learning. Multiple engineers recalled him misusing or confusing basic technical terms. He built OpenAI, in large part, by harnessing other people's money and technical talent.”“My vibes don't match a lot of the traditional A.I.-safety stuff,” Altman said.Even people close to Altman find it difficult to know where his “hope for humanity” ends and his ambition begins.Senator who criticized Disney for being ‘too woke' spotted at Disney WorldGOP Sen.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal is no longer printing the Las Vegas Sun in its pages — at least for now. The longtime rival newspapers published competing op-eds to mark the change, which came after continued legal battles. But why was the Review-Journal printing the Sun in the first place, and should it continue doing so? Host Sonja Cho Swanson is getting the scoop on this modern newspaper war from UNLV history professor Michael Green, and longtime media observer and lawyer Dayvid Figler.

Nevada is one of just a handful of states without so-called “Dram Shop” laws, aimed at allowing DUI victims to sue not just the driver who caused the accident, but the bar or restaurant that served that driver. And despite a large number of deadly DUI accidents, especially in Las Vegas, politicians remain deeply skeptical that Nevada could ever pass such a law. But why? Host Sonja Cho Swanson sits down with investigative reporter Katelyn Newberg from the Las Vegas Review-Journal to answer that and more.
