In this episode, we unpack the viral open-source AI assistant that's taken over the internet what it actually does, why everyone's losing their minds, and whether it's worth the $750/day token bills some users are racking up. We dive deep into why locally-run skills and CLI tools are beating computer-use clicking, how smaller models like GPT-5 Mini are crushing it in agentic workflows, and why the real magic is in targeted context - not massive swarms.

Breaking down the defense strategy in the Michael McKee case.The vascular surgeon accused of killing Monique and Spencer Tepe in their Columbus home has retained Diane Menashe — arguably Ohio's most successful defense attorney. Her resume includes walking Dr. William Husel after 14 murder charges and saving multiple clients from death row against overwhelming evidence.Today on True Crime Today, we analyze what Menashe might do with a case that looks unwinnable on paper. The ballistics match through NIBIN that defense attorneys know isn't courtroom-proof science. The murky Ring camera footage that could become a battle of experts. The eight-year gap between McKee's divorce and the alleged murders that complicates the premeditation narrative. And McKee's documented spiral — malpractice suits he allegedly dodged with fake addresses, an expired medical license, colleagues saying he "just disappeared" — that could support a diminished capacity argument.Prosecutors haven't disclosed a motive. They've called it "targeted domestic violence" but haven't explained why a surgeon would drive 325 miles to kill an ex-wife who left him eight years ago. Menashe will exploit that gap.McKee isn't fighting for acquittal. He's fighting to avoid the harshest sentence — life without parole versus life with parole eligibility after 32 years. That's the game now.The Tepe children — ages 4 and 1 — were in the house that night. They'll grow up without their parents. And the man accused of taking them has hired the best defense money can buy.#TrueCrimeToday #MichaelMcKee #TepeCase #DianeMenashe #SpencerTepe #MoniquTepe #CrimeNews #MurderTrial #DefenseStrategy #BreakingCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two murder cases. Two very different defense strategies. Defense attorney Bob Motta joins True Crime Today to break down both.Aaron Spencer's trial just got a new judge after the Arkansas Supreme Court removed Barbara Elmore for constitutional violations—the second time in seven months. Spencer faces second-degree murder for killing Michael Fosler, the man out on bond for allegedly raping his 14-year-old daughter. The defense is arguing he saved his child. The prosecution has prior statements suggesting premeditation. And now a retired judge from the other side of the state is inheriting the most divisive case in Arkansas.Michael McKee pleaded not guilty to four counts of aggravated murder in the deaths of his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer Tepe. His lawyer is Diane Menashe—who got Dr. William Husel acquitted of fourteen ICU murders by calling one witness and watching the state's case crumble. The prosecution has ballistics, surveillance, vehicle tracking, a suppressor. Menashe doesn't present defenses. She destroys prosecutions.Bob Motta analyzes both cases: what judicial removal means for Spencer, how to defend a father who killed his daughter's alleged abuser, whether Menashe's Husel playbook works against different evidence, and what both cases tell us about murder defense strategy in high-profile trials.#BobMotta #TrueCrimeToday #AaronSpencer #MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #JudgeElmore #DianeMenashe #MurderDefense #HuselAcquittal #DefenseStrategyJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a law firm owner who needs advice on leading a team in a crisis? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, attorney and law firm owner Tiffany Webber shares the profound personal and professional impact of her law partner's sudden passing. She recounts the immediate aftermath, the challenges of leading her firm through crisis, and the lessons learned about resilience, leadership, and preparation. Tiffany shares her insights on leading a firm amidst losing a loved one. One thing is having the skill to be calm under pressure. You can't control when someone close to you passes, but you can control yourself and your reaction to something. As a lawyer, people come to you with answers, so it is important to know when to remain calm and collected. Another thing to have is a bias for action. Many people will sit back and analyze. They will wait to make a decision when they have received all the answers. But, in this field, you will never always have every piece of information. Sometimes, you need to make decisions in the moment with what you have.Having a good leadership team is crucial, especially when you as the owner have a lot of things on their plate. Other leaders in the firm can not only support you by taking on the additional load, but you can lean on them for support. Also, if you don't know something about a topic, having others as subject matter experts can be such an advantage. This also helps with succession planning, so someone can take over while you focus on other things.Listen in to learn more!2:06 Survival Guide for a Crisis4:12 Bias for Action12:03 Facing Discomfort18:00 Creating a Good Leadership Team20:46 Letting the Right People InConnect with Tiffany:Website Tune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here. 

Defense attorney Bob Motta joins me for a two-part legal breakdown of the biggest murder case developments this week.First: Aaron Spencer. The Arkansas Supreme Court removed Judge Barbara Elmore from his second-degree murder trial—the second time they've reversed her on constitutional grounds in seven months. Spencer killed Michael Fosler, the man out on bond for allegedly raping his 14-year-old daughter. Now a retired judge is taking over, prior rulings could be reconsidered, and the defense has to figure out how to counter Rule 404(b) statements about what Spencer said he'd do if Fosler came near his daughter again.Second: Michael McKee. He pleaded not guilty to four counts of aggravated murder in the deaths of his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer Tepe. His lawyer is Diane Menashe—the same attorney who got Dr. William Husel acquitted of fourteen ICU patient murders by calling one witness. The prosecution has ballistics, surveillance, vehicle tracking, and a suppressor. Menashe doesn't present defenses. She dismantles prosecutions.Bob Motta breaks down both cases. What judicial removal means for Spencer. How defense-of-others works against premeditation evidence. Whether Menashe can replicate the Husel strategy against different evidence. Two murder trials. Two defense approaches. One expert analysis.#BobMotta #AaronSpencer #MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #JudgeBarbaraElmore #DianeMenashe #MurderTrial #SelfDefense #HuselAcquittal #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Law school prepares students to think like lawyers, but it often leaves them without a clear picture of what comes next. Zack Glaser sits down with Jocelyn Hardrick to explore how mentorship, pipeline programs, and practical guidance can help first-generation and nontraditional students bridge the gap between legal education and real-world practice.  They unpack the challenges students face when they lack exposure to legal careers, the importance of writing and bar preparation support, and how community and accountability shape confidence during the transition into the profession. The episode highlights how intentional mentorship and community support can reduce uncertainty, build confidence, and create clearer pathways into the legal profession.  Listen to our other episodes on mentorship, mindset, and professional development.   Episode #596 — The Athlete's Mindset for Lawyers, with Jess Sargus Apple | Spotify | LTN  Episode #592 — Client Care, Culture, and Character: A Framework for Great Leaders, with William O'Neal Apple | Spotify | LTN  Episode #588 — Practice Smarter, Not Harder: 411 Tips for Modern Lawyers, with Jordan Couch Apple | Spotify | LTN  Episode #576 — How Sponsorship, Empathy, and Failure Shape Great Leaders, with Michael Cohen Apple | Spotify | LTN  Have thoughts about today's episode?

A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to stop arresting and detaining lawfully resettled refugees in Minnesota under a program known as Operation PARRIS. The temporary restraining order also requires the immediate release of refugees currently detained in Minnesota, and the release within five days of those transferred to a Texas detention center. The ruling comes in a class-action lawsuit brought by refugee advocacy groups, who argue the arrests are unlawful. Michelle Drake is an attorney based in Minneapolis with Berger Montague, that is helping lead the case. She joined Minnesota Now to talk about the judge's ruling.

Michael McKee hired the attorney who got Dr. William Husel acquitted of fourteen murders. Diane Menashe called one witness in that trial. Husel walked on all fourteen counts. Now she's representing another doctor charged with murder—and the parallels are striking. Overwhelming evidence. Medical professional defendant. High-profile case. And a defense attorney who doesn't build cases—she dismantles prosecutions.McKee faces four counts of aggravated murder for the deaths of his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer Tepe. Police have ballistics linking a firearm from McKee's Chicago condo to shell casings at the crime scene. Vehicle tracking from Columbus back to Illinois. Surveillance footage allegedly showing McKee behind the Tepe home. A suppressor specification. No signs of forced entry. Family members say McKee was emotionally abusive and threatened Monique's life—but there's nothing in the official record for eight years between the divorce and the murders.Defense attorney Bob Motta joins True Crime Today to analyze Menashe's likely approach, how she could attack the ballistics evidence, and whether the eight-year gap creates reasonable doubt about motive. We examine what the no-forced-entry detail could mean for an alternative theory, how the suppressor specification affects the premeditation argument, and what it means that the lead prosecutor is trying her first felony case against a 27-year defense veteran.#MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #TrueCrimeToday #DianeMenashe #BobMotta #DrWilliamHusel #AggravatedMurder #FranklinCounty #ColumbusOhioJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode, Leverage Lawyer Rebecca Zung explains what even good lawyers often get wrong in high-conflict cases and why relying solely on legal strategy can cause clients to lose control, leverage, and outcomes.

Jeffrey Deskovic's life changed forever when he was convicted of a murder he did not commit at just 17 years old. He maintained his innocence for the next 16 years and then, with the help of the Innocence Project, the real person responsible was finally caught and Jeff was released from prison. Now you may be asking yourself, 'Hey, how is this a GOOD story?' The answer is found in what Jeff did after this all happened: He went to law school, became an attorney and founded the Deskovic Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to the exoneration of the wrongfully convicted, their recovery, and reform of the system. This is one person's journey from the darkest of places to finding and creating his own light and we gotta tell ya, it doesn't get much more inspiring than this.

In this episode of the Level Up Claims Podcast, host Galen Hair sits down with Matthew Carlyon, attorney at Insurance Claim HQ, to explore the intersection of ethics, communication, and effective case management in property insurance claims. Matthew brings a rare perspective to the conversation, drawing from his background as a former State Bar ethics prosecutor, insurance defense attorney, and now policyholder advocate. Together, Galen and Matthew break down why communication failures—not legal mistakes—are the number one reason attorneys face disciplinary complaints, and how simple systems can prevent major problems. This episode dives deep into what ethical advocacy actually looks like in practice, why legal writing and storytelling matter more than courtroom theatrics, and how consistent file management protects both clients and professionals. Whether you're an attorney, public adjuster, or claims professional, this conversation offers practical guidance on operating with integrity while delivering strong results. Highlights: Matthew Carlyon's path from fiction writing to law and legal ethics Why most ethics complaints stem from poor client communication The importance of touching every case at least every two weeks How documentation protects attorneys and firms Legal writing as storytelling—and why it wins cases Lessons from prosecuting attorney misconduct for the State Bar Ethical advocacy vs. cutting corners in property claims The impact of climate change on Midwest property claims Systems that reduce chaos and increase accountability What "leveling up" really means in a legal career Episode Resources: Connect with Galen M.

Are you confident in knowing the difference between trial strategy and trial tactics?   Because ultimately the question is, does your jury understand what you're doing?   Today, we're looking at how to identify a clear strategy as the overarching theme that guides the trial, followed by the tactics to achieve that strategy.   There's a risk of confusing the two, including wasted time and causing confusion for jurors. The best strategies combine preparation and flexibility when you're in the courtroom.   And remember, focus groups can test strategies early in the trial preparation process, showing you where to refine those strategies early.   In this episode: Confusing strategy and tactics can lead to juror confusion. Tactics should be flexible and adaptable during trial. Jurors expect consistency in case presentation. Wasting time on tactics without a clear theme can cost cases. Focus groups can help test and refine trial strategies early. You can also watch this episode on my YouTube Channel: Trial Strategy v.

A Utah lawmaker wants to crack down on people practicing law WITHOUT a license... Greg and Holly discuss what prompted this and how big of a problem it actually is. Rep. Anthony Loubet joins the show. 

Throughout history diplomats have played keys roles in settling disputes among nations by winning alliances, splintering enemy coalitions, and making peace with their bitterest foes.  And, yet, in the post- Cold War period America has relied more upon the strength of its military, international covenants and economic muscle, as the world’s reserve currency, to impose its vast might on allies and adversaries alike.  Our guest, A. Wess Mitchell, a Principal and Co-Founder of the Marathon Initiative and the author of the new book, “Great Power Diplomacy: The Skill of Statecraft from Attila the Hun to Kissinger,” thinks this approach will not work going forward because America does not have the capacity to vanquish all the threats on the battlefield, particularly with the fragility of our own domestic politics and heavy debt load.  He makes a compelling argument as we circle the globe with him looking at America’s position in the world today.

Do you struggle with planning because you feel too busy, find it tedious, or rely on your memory to hold everything together? In this episode, I walk through three common time management and planning mistakes I see lawyers make and explain why they quietly create more stress, reactivity, and lost time than you might realise. We look at what actually happens when you skip planning and dive straight into your day, why avoiding planning because it feels boring often leads to more work later, and how relying on a strong working memory can overload your brain and undermine your effectiveness. I share practical ways to approach planning that are realistic for busy legal practices and designed to support focus, clarity, and follow-through.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://thejoyfulpractice.com/245   Click here to grab my procrastination protocol checklist: https://mailchi.mp/0c249b28750c/procrastination_protocol   Click here to grab my time management podcast roadmap: https://mailchi.mp/d267dabde299/time-management-lawyers-podcast-roadmap

Supreme Court hacking and the end of a Biglaw era. ------ The Biglaw world continues to watch single-tier partnerships slip away with Sullivan & Cromwell joining the income partner trend. Will the industry have any single-tier firms left by the end of the year? Also former Senator and current Hogan Lovells lawyer Kyrsten Sinema tagged with an alienation of affection tort from her former bodyguard's soon-to-be ex-wife. Come for the bad soap opera plot, stay for the MDMA-inspired psychedelic trip allegations. Finally, the Supreme Court got hacked, but federal law enforcement managed, a couple years after the fact, to track down the culprit whose social media handle was "ihackedthegovernment."

The surgeon accused of killing Monique and Spencer Tepe in their Columbus home entered a not guilty plea Friday. Michael McKee stood silent while his defense attorney, Diane Menashe, spoke for him. That choice of attorney tells you everything about how this case is going to be fought.Menashe is the same lawyer who defended Dr. William Husel in 2022 — the Mount Carmel physician charged with murdering fourteen patients through allegedly lethal fentanyl doses. She called one witness during the entire defense. Husel was acquitted on all counts. Now she's representing another doctor facing murder charges.The prosecution includes Franklin County Prosecutor Shayla Favor, taking on her first felony case after a career in property code enforcement. She'll be supported by veteran homicide prosecutors, but the matchup raises questions about experience and strategy in a case drawing national attention.Today we break down what the not guilty plea signals, how Menashe's defense philosophy could shape the trial, and the new details emerging about McKee's pattern of evasion — including a malpractice lawsuit that couldn't locate him for months before the killings. Process servers found fake addresses, TVs turning off when they knocked, and colleagues who said he "just disappeared."The battle lines are drawn.

Whether you're interested in criminal law or just want to know how timing can make or break a case, this episode delivers answers in a way that's both accessible and engaging.Welcome back to Lawyer Talk! In this episode, host Steve Palmer and law student Troy Henricksen dive into a thought-provoking legal question from a listener: Can someone file charges seven years after an incident occurred?The conversation explores the complexities of statutes of limitations, who can actually bring criminal charges, and why delayed justice is such a tricky subject.Along the way, Steve Palmer and Troy Henricksen break down the differences between civil and criminal cases, how exceptions work for serious crimes like murder and rape, and the challenges that come with bringing old cases to court.Here are 3 key takeaways from their discussion:Statutes of Limitations Matter: Most criminal charges must be filed within a specific time frame set by law. For example, in Ohio, most felonies carry a 6-year limitation, but serious crimes like murder or some types of sexual assault may have no limit at all.Discovery of the Crime is Key: The clock doesn't always start ticking when the crime happens. Sometimes, it starts when the crime is discovered or should have been reasonably discovered—especially true for cases involving hidden offenses like fraud.Defendants' Rights Are Still Protected: Even if a case is technically timely, defense attorneys can argue that a long delay in prosecution causes unfair prejudice—like lost evidence or missing witnesses—which can become a powerful part of the defense.Got a question you want answered on the podcast?

The world of legal technology can seem overwhelming. Fortunately, we have a guide in Chelsey Lambert, founder and author at the legal tech education, consulting, and guidance platform Legal Tech Decoded, which features articles, reviews, and opinions on the latest in legal tech. This episode is kind of about marketing, but kind of about operations, but also kind of about AI, because tech is coming for every aspect of your legal practice. What developments will drive your firm forward, and what's smoke and mirrors? Lawyers who've been in the business long enough have gone from reviewing cases on paper and in books, maybe even yellow legal pads, to the Internet revolution, to online research and filing, to today's AI revolution. Is AI remaking the practice of law, or just the next progression? (Spoiler, it's kind of a big deal.)  “I don't know that we've ever trained lawyers how to buy technology in the first place,” Lambert says. Now add the complexity of AI, a tool you have to train, guide, and trust. Hear about the evolving world of legal tech, even developments you probably haven't heard of, and the evolution of the profession, including the potential for non-lawyer ownership and private equity. Don't fear or ignore the revolution, embrace it. Mentioned in This Episode: Association for AI in Legal, A4l.law CaseMark RocketLawyer LegalZoom Nolo Foundation AI

In this episode, Molly sits down with Miriam Fisher, a Richmond-based immigration attorney, entrepreneur, and author of Mom's a Lawyer, to share how narrowing her focus to 100% immigration law unlocked clarity, efficiency, and growth. Miriam breaks down the metrics that guided her pivot, the leadership growth required to scale, and how she integrates family life into business with intention and authenticity. Key Takeaways: Transitioning from a general practice to a niche focus in immigration law can significantly improve efficiency and profitability. Integrating family life into professional endeavors can enrich both personal fulfillment and career success. Continuous personal growth and leadership training are crucial for managing a growing team and achieving long-term business goals. Active community involvement and authentic marketing strategies help create a strong brand presence. Clearly defined goals and open communication with the team foster a unified direction and a healthy, dynamic work environment.   Quote for the Show: "We realized that it was actually hurting our profitability to be spreading ourselves across different practice areas. And when we actually isolated by practice area, by case type, it was very, very clear that immigration was more profitable for us for a couple reasons." - Miriam Fisher    Connect with Miriam: Website: https://airingtonlaw.com/ Book: https://www.momsalawyer.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lawyer-like-a-mother/ Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/miriam.airington.3/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lawyerlikeamother/  Links: Join our upcoming masterclass: https://thelawfirmleader.com/ Website: https://hiringandempowering.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hiringandempowering Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hiringandempowering LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/hiring&empoweringsolutions/ The Law Firm Admin Bootcamp + Academy™ : https://www.lawfirmadminbootcamp.com/ Get Fix My Boss Book: https://amzn.to/3PCeEhk   Ways to Tune In: Amazon Music - https://www.amazon.com/Hiring-and-Empowering-Solutions/dp/B08JJSLJ7N Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hiring-and-empowering-solutions/id1460184599 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3oIfsDDnEDDkcumTCygHDH Stitcher - https://www.stitcher.com/show/hiring-and-empowering-solutions YouTube - https://youtu.be/58Dpka514L0

When Should I Talk to a Lawyer (Even If I'm Not Planning to Divorce?) Have you ever wondered if reaching out to a lawyer makes you disloyal—or unfaithful—to your marriage or to God? Many Christian women in painful or destructive relationships fear that even considering legal advice is a betrayal. But today's episode is here to shine light on the truth: seeking legal counsel doesn't mean you're filing for divorce—it means you're taking wise, informed steps to protect yourself, your children, and your peace of mind. Leslie welcomes back trusted friend and family law attorney Marianne Modesty, who brings over 30 years of experience and gospel-centered wisdom to this critical conversation. Whether you're feeling stuck, scared, or simply unsure of what's next, this episode will empower you to walk in truth, courage, and godly stewardship—without shame. Key Takeaways 1. Seeking Legal Counsel is Not a Sin Talking to a lawyer does not equal filing for divorce. It's a step toward wisdom, clarity, and stewardship. God calls us to seek truth, especially when we're confused or afraid. Consulting a lawyer allows you to understand your rights and responsibilities and prepares you for whatever path you may need to take next. 2. Red Flags That Signal It's Time to Get Information Subtle but destructive behaviors—like isolation, financial control, hidden assets, gaslighting, or coercion—can erode your identity and safety. If you're constantly doubting yourself or feel emotionally trapped, it's time to seek clarity from a legal professional—even if you're not ready to leave. 3. Delay Can Have Serious Consequences Waiting too long can cost you financially, emotionally, and relationally—especially when children are involved. Without legal awareness, women risk losing financial control, custody advantages, and personal agency. Abuse often escalates, and silence can cause deeper damage over time. 4. Choose the Right Kind of Lawyer Look for integrity, experience, and someone who truly listens and understands the nuances of covert abuse, religious manipulation, or controlling behaviors. A trustworthy attorney doesn't just fight—she counsels, balances wisdom with practicality, and helps you discern the cost of peace over the cost of war. 5. You're Not Being Ungodly—You're Being Wise God cares deeply about your safety, your sanity, and the well-being of your children. Seeking legal counsel is part of being a faithful steward of the life, resources, and role God has entrusted to you. Truth is never the enemy of faith—it is the foundation of it. Need Help Navigating These Hard Realities?

‘All they have seen is a 40-year rule that has resulted in high unemployment rates, poor services, and an increased violation of human rights. This young population is yearning to see a different president, a different kind of Uganda.'Catherine Byaruhanga speaks to human rights lawyer and activist Nicholas Opiyo about Ugandan politics, the rule of law, and the impact of 40 years of one leader on the nation.He's taken on multiple cases of national significance, including successfully overturning the country's anti-LGBTQ legislation back in 2014 - although this has since been re-instated, and represented a former rebel commander of the Lord's Resistance Army.Opiyo has also represented Ugandan opposition politician Bobi Wine, who, despite previously being arrested and charged with treason in 2018, challenged the 81-year-old incumbent President Yoweri Museveni in January's disputed elections.These elections were watched from afar by Opiyo, who was recently forced to flee his home country for his own safety, but still continues his human rights work.
