Adam Montgomery's defense team asked for both charges — murder and assault — to be tried together. Then they tried to undo it. The trial judge said no. The New Hampshire Supreme Court said yes. And the Adam Montgomery murder conviction in the Harmony Montgomery case is now reversed.The ruling hinges on a concept the audience deserves to hear explained by someone who has actually litigated it: prejudicial joinder. When the overwhelming assault evidence — multiple witnesses, documented bruises, no dispute — sat alongside a murder charge that depended almost entirely on Kayla Montgomery's testimony, the court found the jury couldn't fairly evaluate the weaker case on its own merits.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta (Defense Diaries) joins Tony Brueski to walk through the mechanics of how this conviction fell apart. The irony at the center: the defense's initial request created the structural flaw their appeal exploited. Whether that's strategy or accident, Bob's answer tells you everything about how the defense bar actually works.Also covered: whether the trial judge should have granted severance, what a unanimous five-justice reversal signals about how clear-cut this was, and the single most important thing people misunderstand about a murder conviction being overturned. Montgomery remains in prison on other charges. The state plans to retry. But the conviction that was supposed to speak for five-year-old Harmony is gone.

Gwendolyn Dolske and Rudy Salo welcome Casey Berman: former attorney, founder of Leave Law Behind (the leading coaching program helping attorneys transition into non-legal careers), multipreneur, strategy consultant, speaker, and author, for a discussion about work, identity, happiness, and the courage it takes to choose a different life. Casey knows this territory from the inside. He lived it. And he has spent years helping thousands of attorneys find what he calls their Unique Genius, the specific intersection of talent and joy that, when aligned with their work, produces not just professional success but the deeper contentment that a career in law, for many, was never able to provide. What we explore in this episode: The reality of life inside the legal profession, the hours, the pace, the stress, the culture, and why so many attorneys feel trapped even when their career looks successful from the outside What you can actually do with a law degree that doesn't involve practicing law, and why the answer is far broader and more interesting than most law students are ever told: consulting, compliance, legal technology, entrepreneurship, writing, business development, policy, education, coaching, and more than 100 documented alternatives The specific steps Casey recommends for assessing whether your unhappiness is situational (the wrong firm, the wrong practice area, the wrong city) or fundamental (the wrong career entirely), and why getting that diagnosis right is the most important first step How to get feedback from the people in your life, family, friends, colleagues, mentors, to identify what you are genuinely good at, what lights you up, and where your skills create value outside a courtroom or a contract review Bertrand Russell and The Conquest of Happiness, and why Russell's argument that most human unhappiness is self-generated and rooted in the wrong relationship to work maps precisely onto what Casey has observed in the legal profession for over a decade What Russell wrote about the sunk cost of identity: why we must be willing to let go of what we have invested in, emotionally, financially, intellectually, when it's clear it is not our talent or our strength, and why it is not only acceptable but necessary to grieve the self you thought you would be Rudy's perspective as a lawyer who stayed, and his advice for law students: do not let go of what makes you happy, because the time you spend on those things (screenwriting, acting, podcasting) will make you a better lawyer, not a worse one Casey's thoughts on the role of AI in law, what this means for the profession and those going into law. The philosophy of the examined career: what Socrates, Russell, and Casey Berman all agree on about the relationship between self-knowledge, honest feedback, and the possibility of genuine happiness in your work Books Mentioned in this episode (with Amazon Affiliate link): The Conquest of Happiness by Bertrand Russell The Million Dollar One Person Business by Elaine Pofeldt The Ancient Art of Thinking For Yourself: The Power of Rhetoric in Polarized Times by Robin Reames Guest: Casey Berman: founder of Leave Law Behind, the leading coaching program helping attorneys identify and transition into fulfilling non-legal careers.

Recently, as a single mother navigating a contested divorce, she began using AI tools to support her case because she could not afford a lawyer while facing her ex's legal team. She self-represented during an 11-day trial and learned firsthand that AI can sometimes generate inaccurate information. That experience inspired her to launch Alice in Legal Wonderland, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping self-represented litigants use AI more effectively and responsibly. She is currently building partnerships with verifiable AI companies that prioritize accuracy and transparency by admitting when they “don't know” instead of generating false information.Anna's Social Media links:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lissanskyWebsite: https://www.aliceinlegalwonderland.comSign up to Alice in Legal Wonderland's waitlist and receive 2 months free access: https://www.aliceinlegalwonderland.comThis show's host, Diane Rolston, is called THE Expert on Being Dynamic and living a Dynamic Life.

Should a Defendant Take the Stand?Does a defendant have to testify to win at trial?While most know there's no legal requirement, the real issue is much more nuanced and depends on the facts of each case. I talk about not only the risks and strategies involved, but also recent Supreme Court precedent.Key takeaways:There's No One-Size-Fits-All Answer: Whether a defendant should testify depends on factors like prior convictions (which may become evidence if they testify), case circumstances, and the centrality of the defendant's perspective—e.g., in self-defense cases, only the defendant can explain their own mindset 01:54.Testifying Is About Credibility, Not Advocacy: A key theme that emerged was the importance of acting as a truthful witness, not an advocate. Over-advocacy can make a defendant appear defensive and less believable to a jury 06:18.Preparation and Recent Legal Developments Matter: Several points were raised, including the implications of the Supreme Court's decision in Villarreal v. Texas. Defendants may be barred from consulting with their lawyer about testimony during a trial break, making pre-testimony preparation with counsel more critical than ever 15:19.The nuances of testifying—or choosing not to—require careful consideration, preparation, and a strong lawyer-client relationship.FAQ'sDo defendants have to testify to win their criminal case?No, defendants do not have to testify to win their case; it depends on various facts and circumstances. The conversation focused on how each situation is unique, and sometimes defendants are better off not taking the stand, while in other cases, their testimony may help clarify important issues like self-defense.How do lawyers prepare defendants who need to testify in court?Lawyers use various techniques, including dialogue practice and even hiring professionals, to help clients feel more comfortable testifying. The discussion explored strategies like building trust, focusing on clear factual storytelling rather than advocacy, and preparing clients to answer questions directly without slipping into self-defense or argument.Why is it risky for a defendant to advocate for themselves while testifying?A key theme that emerged was that when defendants advocate for themselves, it can make them seem less believable and overly defensive. Several points were raised, including how jurors may interpret this defensiveness as a sign of untrustworthiness and how it can undermine trust in the lawyer's advocacy.Got a question you want answered on the podcast?

Stuck on the “wrong mountain” in your legal career but unsure what to do next? In this episode, career coach and former lawyer Sherry Mason breaks down how ambitious attorneys can separate prestige from true fulfillment, avoid burnout, and plan a smart, strategic exit instead of a panic-fueled leap. In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Sherry Mason discuss: Ambition vs. prestige in legal careers Skills, situation, and identity as sources of dissatisfaction Burnout, autonomy, and control for lawyers How spending 20% of your time on aligned work drastically reduces burnout A five-step framework for planning a career transition   Key Takeaways: Many high-achieving lawyers climb career “mountains” chosen for them by others, only to realize later that prestige alone doesn't guarantee a fulfilling life. Career dissatisfaction typically stems from one of three areas (skills, situation, or identity) and it's critical to understand which one is actually driving your unhappiness before you make a big move. Burnout often reflects a loss of autonomy and misalignment between daily work and personal values, not just long hours or compensation.  Research suggests that if just 20% of your time is spent on the work that most lights you up, your risk of burnout can drop dramatically, even if the other 80% is less enjoyable. A thoughtful, stepwise approach of clarifying your criteria, forming hypotheses, testing them through conversations, reaching the right decision-makers, and weighing trade-offs can turn a vague urge to quit into a strategic, lower-risk transition.   "You can do anything, but you can't do everything, and a lot of times we work on climbing to the top of a mountain, and sometimes it is a mountain that someone else has told us would be the right mountain for us to climb.

Workers at Trinity Health Grand Haven Hospital voted 89 to 66 to keep their union — after their employer had already illegally stripped it from them. The NLRB went to court seeking an emergency order to restore recognition while the case was litigated. Two Trump-appointed Sixth Circuit judges said no. The dissent came from a Reagan appointee. On this episode of America's Work Force Union Podcast, union attorney and Brooklyn Law School adjunct professor Andrew Strom breaks down what that ruling means, why the NLRA's four-year enforcement process makes preliminary injunctions the only real deterrent against illegal employer conduct and why the same court that gives employers automatic injunctions against workers who violate non-compete agreements refuses to apply the same logic when employers strip workers of their collective bargaining rights.

Your productivity is not driven by your personal discipline. Instead, you've learned to put all of your energy, success, and productivity into who will or won't validate you and your work ethic. This is the external authority trap.In this episode of The Free Lawyer, host Gary Miles, shares how even the most successful attorneys and senior practitioners rigid productivity systems always seem to collapse despite their immense willpower. The root cause isn't a lack of discipline, but rather what he calls the External Authority Trap. Attorneys have learned to tie their professional self-worth to uncontrollable variables like judge reactions and case outcomes. Lawyers are driven to unconsciously override their own calendar blocks and boundaries. Gary shares poignant, personal lessons from his own 46-year career, including a devastating federal court summary judgment loss, demonstrating how toxic perfectionism is rewarded by the legal profession well into it leading to deep anxiety. Listen for how to break this exhausting cycle by shifting to an Internal Authority operating system built on your own competence, preparation, and sustainable boundaries.Plus, get access to this free diagnostic tool to help you identify your specific time drains and move from reactive chaos to purposeful strategy. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://upbeat-trailblazer-9238.kit.com/7c3c667ff1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Access the full Elite Lawyer's Productivity System ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.garymiles.net/productivity⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get the Values Alignment Guide ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://upbeat-trailblazer-9238.kit.com/1604bbf4cb⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Take the Free Lawyer Assessment ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠garymiles.net/the-free-lawyer-assessment⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about Breaking Free or order your copy ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.garymiles.net/break-free⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Schedule a complimentary discovery call: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://calendly.com/garymiles-successcoach/one-one-discovery-call⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠

Listen to this episode with Rep. Jinky Luistro, the lead House prosecutor in the Sara Duterte impeachment trial.

Woes To The Lawyers Vaughn Sommers In Luke chapter 11, Jesus confronts the lawyers and religious leaders who have become obstacles to God's truth. These experts in the law burden people with endless rules while refusing to lift a finger themselves, yet they sit in judgment. But here's what pierces my heart: they've taken away the key of knowledge. They've hidden God's commandments from the very people who depend on them for truth. They build monuments to the prophets their fathers killed while plotting to do the same thing to Jesus. Their traditions have become so heavy that people are crushed under the weight of them, unable to see the way to God.So what does this mean for us today? We must never be the ones who stand between people and God's truth. When you speak about Jesus, don't hide the law of God. Don't soft-pedal the commandments. Help people see that they're born sinners, that their hearts are broken, that they need rescue. Tell them gently and with love, just like Jesus did, but tell them the truth. Because when a person finally admits their sin and turns to Christ, when they confess with their mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in their heart that God raised Him from the dead, they'll be set free. That weight comes off. Everything changes. Your want-tos change. That's the power of the gospel, and that's what we're called to proclaim.

What starts as a trip for relaxation turns into a masterclass on discomfort, risk, and what it really takes to grow a law firm.Tyson breaks down why most lawyers want improvement without change, they want the massage benefits without the deep tissue work, and how that same mindset keeps firm owners stuck in “safe” but miserable situations. He walks through concrete examples from his own journey: starting his firm, taking on a partner, splitting a successful firm, committing to a BHAG of resolving a case in every state, and investing heavily in contingency-fee marketing without a line of credit.In this episode, you'll learn:Why your brain interprets uncertainty as risk (and how that quietly kills growth)How to tell the difference between pointless pain and “productive discomfort”Why hiring, firing, raising rates, and trying cases feel terrible right before they move you forwardA simple three-part test to decide which hard thing you should do next in your firmHighlights00:00 – The weird basement massage that sparked this episode03:40 – Cupping, scraping, and why the best results often look ugly at first08:15 – Why your brain equates uncertainty with danger11:30 – Starting a firm, partnering, splitting: the real risk curve of growth12:20 – BHAG: resolving a case in every state and what it takes to chase it13:10 – PI vs. family/criminal: different runways, different risks15:45 – The invisible cost of not hiring, not firing, and not raising rates17:00 – Productive discomfort: 3-part test (aligns with goals, teaches you, expands capacity)19:50 – Questions to identify the one hard move you're avoiding21:30 – BeccasList, the Association, and upcoming events

⚖️ Can One Lawyer Represent Both Spouses in a Divorce? | Los Angeles Divorce ⚖️ Many couples who agree on everything wonder if they can simply hire one attorney to handle their divorce together. In California, an attorney generally cannot represent both spouses in the same divorce case because of potential conflicts of interest. That's why many amicable couples explore neutral alternatives for document preparation and filing assistance.

The latest Alex Murdaugh case update concerns the bench, not the defendant. The South Carolina Supreme Court has vested Judge Debra McCaslin with exclusive jurisdiction over all proceedings in the Murdaugh matter — including any retrial on charges that he murdered his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul — and her professional history with lead defense counsel Dick Harpootlian is now a matter of public scrutiny.The record, as reported: early in her career, McCaslin rented office space from Harpootlian, and during her judicial screening she identified him among the attorneys who shaped her legal career, reportedly stating he made an impression on her life. In this episode, defense attorney and former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis applies the actual legal standards to those facts — what judicial disqualification requires, how appearance-of-impropriety analysis works, who can raise the issue, and why prior professional association between bench and bar is far more common, and far less determinative, than headlines suggest.Faddis then turns to the substantive authority McCaslin now holds. The Supreme Court's reversal — rooted in former clerk of court Becky Hill's misconduct, to which she pleaded guilty — came with a directive that any retrial sharply limit the financial-crimes testimony that consumed hours of the first trial. McCaslin will define that boundary. Faddis assesses what the State's case looks like at each possible line, which evidentiary disputes from the first trial remain unresolved, and what her reportedly stringent sentencing record signals about how she may run this courtroom.His closing analysis addresses the only question that ultimately matters: what has to go right for the State this time — and does this judge make that more or less likely?Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

It was a day of legal wrangling in the Charlie Kirk murder trial. The AP's Lisa Dwyer reports.

The fool can beloved or not. Beloved fools are open-hearted and cultivate “don't know” mind. Not-so-beloved fools think they know something, or know better, or are better.  What I can see, so far, is that takes courage and fortitude to watch closely enough, over a long enough period of time (maybe a lifetime?), to see when foolishness is taking a beloved form, and when not. And to be humble when “not.” Which in my own investigation is *not* as infrequently as I'd like. Have you done this yet? If not, that's today's invitation. Take a look, now and for as long as you can. Playfully and joyfully, but also with diligence. See what you see. See when your own fool is beloved and when not. Decide what to shift. Have fun with it. See how it goes. 

Back in 2025, the Department of Justice issued a legal opinion stating that presidents may have authority not only to create but also to revoke national monuments established by prior presidents. So what does this mean for protections for national monuments and public lands like the Grand Staircase and Bears Ears National Monument? On this Lawyer 2 Lawyer episode, Craig welcomes professor of law, Mark Squillace from the University of Colorado Law School, as they spotlight national monuments, public lands, and presidential power. Craig & Mark discuss the DOJ's legal opinion on national monuments, monument and public land protections, Congressional authority, the Antiquities Act of 1906, conservation law, and federal land management.

Before Recovery Rocks, Anna hosted Recover Girl, where conversations about addiction and recovery were less “before-and-after success story” and more “let's unpack the human condition for 45 minutes.” This Thursday Throwback features musician Moby in one of the most thoughtful recovery conversations we've ever aired. Moby talks about getting sober at 22 after years of chaotic drinking and drug use, throwing legendary degenerate parties in New York, relapsing after eight years of “insufferably sober” Christianity and eventually realizing AA wasn't just a clubhouse for drunks — it was a spiritual program. The conversation goes everywhere: anonymity, ego, relapse, judgment, fear, God, hangovers in your 40s, why intelligent people resist AA and why two glasses of wine with dinner sounds completely pointless to a real alcoholic. Basically: if you've ever rolled your eyes at recovery clichés while secretly needing them anyway, this episode is for you.

Burris says the department has been reformed.
