Mark is joined by acclaimed trial lawyer Nicholas Rowley, who sits in as guest co-host. The two dig into a major Starbucks burn verdict, revisit the misunderstood McDonald's hot coffee case, and break down how corporate narratives distort public views of civil justice. The conversation also explores Rowley's successful fight to raise California's medical malpractice damages cap, his latest battle against Uber-backed liability limits, and why jury selection, honesty, and integrity remain the true backbone of the justice system.Watch Beyond A Reasonable Doubt and all Reasonable Doubt video content on YouTube exclusively at YouTube.com/ReasonableDoubtPodcast and subscribe while you're thereSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The Kirkland & Ellis response treats the May 19, 2008 letter from the Southern District of Florida's First Assistant U.S. Attorney not as a good-faith summary, but as a document that actively distorts the historical record of the Epstein investigation. The firm argues that the letter is riddled with contradictions, misleading framing, and outright falsehoods that cannot be chalked up to sloppy drafting or innocent error. Rather than accurately recounting investigative decisions, the letter is portrayed as a post-hoc justification designed to sanitize prosecutorial conduct after the fact. Kirkland & Ellis makes clear that the document attempts to reshape reality—presenting disputed actions as settled facts and glossing over decisions that directly benefited Epstein.Critically, the response emphasizes that the letter's defects are not marginal or technical, but foundational, calling into question the integrity of the government's entire narrative. By systematically comparing the letter's assertions with what actually occurred, Kirkland & Ellis suggests that the misrepresentations were deliberate and strategic, intended to create a paper trail that could withstand scrutiny rather than reflect truth. The firm characterizes the letter as emblematic of how the Epstein case was managed from start to finish: facts were selectively presented, inconvenient details were omitted or reframed, and the official record was bent to support an outcome already decided. In this view, the May 19 letter is not merely inaccurate—it is itself evidence of how the Epstein investigation was manipulated and why accountability was avoided.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:EFTA00013801.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a law firm owner looking to learn more about how to be a good leader? In this solo episode of the Guild Live Show, Tyson reflects on work-life balance, leadership, and the guilt many law firm owners feel about stepping away from the office. Sharing his own experiences, Tyson explores the psychological challenges of letting go, the importance of trusting your team, and why true leadership is measured by outcomes and freedom.Tyson shares some insights on feelings of guilt law firm owners have when being away from the office. A lot of firm owners tend to tie their value to their presence, which is where this guilt can stem from. There can be thoughts of things going wrong in the office or fires not being put out. To move away from this mindset, it is important to ensure you can trust your team to handle things while you are away. Whether it's delegating work to specific people or asking for updates on a recurring basis, these things can help you feel more at ease and allow that guilt to disappear.Tyson talks about visible versus meaningful effort. For leaders, being present in the office doing things does not mean anything unless you are working on the right things. You have to show up and work with intention to ensure your firm is successful. If you know there are improvements that need to be made, show up and outline steps to get that done. This shows you are serious about making sure your firm grows and succeeds.Take a listen to learn more!4:00 The Guilt of Being Away6:52 The Danger of Identity Tied to Work11:07 Visible vs. Meaningful Effort14:42 Trusting Your Team and Letting Go18:33 Leadership Is About Outcomes19:25 Freedom as a Metric for Success Tune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.
In November 2020, lawyers representing a Jeffrey Epstein victim filed a legal motion demanding that the U.S. Department of Justice release previously concealed information related to Epstein's secret 2007 non-prosecution agreement. The motion centered around a troubling gap in documentation—specifically, missing emails from then-U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta's office during the period when the controversial plea deal was negotiated. Victims' attorneys argued that these missing records could reveal undisclosed communications, potential misconduct, or improper coordination between Epstein's defense team and federal prosecutors.The legal team emphasized that the absence of this material undermined public trust and cast doubt on the government's narrative surrounding Epstein's prosecution. “I think it calls into doubt everything that we've been told about the case,” said one of the attorneys, urging the DOJ to come clean about the full extent of its dealings with Epstein. The motion underscored the growing belief among survivors and their advocates that the original agreement—which allowed Epstein to avoid federal charges and protected unnamed co-conspirators—was not just flawed, but potentially the product of behind-the-scenes corruption or manipulation that still has not been fully disclosed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Lawyers for Epstein victim seek 'previously concealed information' from Justice Department - ABC News

During Jeffrey Epstein's first prosecution in Florida, his legal team adopted an unusually aggressive and confrontational posture toward prosecutors and investigators in the Southern District of Florida. Rather than treating the case as a standard criminal matter, Epstein's lawyers pushed relentlessly on procedure, jurisdiction, and internal DOJ dynamics, applying pressure not just through formal filings but through behind-the-scenes maneuvering aimed at shaping the outcome before charges could fully crystallize. This approach went beyond zealous advocacy and veered into open hostility, with Epstein's attorneys repeatedly challenging investigators' motives, authority, and conduct, while seeking to box prosecutors into a narrow set of options favorable to their client.In this episode, we dig into a newly unsealed Epstein file that lays bare just how acrimonious that relationship truly was. The document shows a toxic, adversarial environment in which negotiations were marked by distrust, sharp exchanges, and constant friction between Epstein's defense team and the lawyers tasked with investigating him. Far from a collaborative or routine plea discussion, the record reveals a legal battlefield where Epstein's attorneys treated federal prosecutors as obstacles to be neutralized rather than partners in resolution—offering a rare, unfiltered look at how the groundwork was laid for one of the most controversial prosecutorial outcomes in modern criminal justice history.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:EFTA00013538.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
Daniel is a Western University Graduate, and currently works as the Founder and CEO of Lawbrokr. Daniel's journey represents another unique journey to the Law. Having never attended Law School, Daniel ventured into the world of legal technology at Clio, leading him to start his company, Lawbrokr, showing us all that no matter where we start, the opportunity to join the legal industry and be integral to it is always there. Daniel and I started years before he arrived in the Legal industry. He spoke about the various experiences leading up to his entry, speaking on how important sales is for anyone's career, transforming the way you engage with individuals and organizations. Sales for him created a lifelong skill set, learning how to speak with potential clients, and drastically improving soft skills. Daniel then spoke about his time at Clio, noting how important this introduction to the legal space was for his future, and how he began to learn the psychology of how lawyers and legal professionals think. Daniel would take these learnings and start Lawbrokr. Lawbrokr would require some pivots to get the product right, and didn't come without its hardships. Daniel said his competitiveness to succeed and make a product and platform that fit his clients' needs drove him to work through the tough times. This episode with Daniel further shows that no one's journey to the Law or Law School is a straight path. The winding roads and paths are all a part of the journey!

In a new federal appellate court filing, the Trump Administration and DOJ is being accused of possibly committing crimes or fraud on the court to strip it of any attorney-client privilege and avoid judge sanctions up to criminal contempt from being imposed on them. Michael Popok reports on the ACLU's new brief to the DC federal appellate court to support Chief Judge Boesberg and get him back on track on determining if Kristie Noem and or Emil Bove (now a federal judge) among others, committed criminal contempt, and if DOJ lawyers should be referred to to the Bar for sanctions against their law licenses.

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a law firm owner looking to change how you run your business? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Mathew Kerbis, a lawyer and founder of Subscription Attorney discusses how AI is transforming legal work and why the traditional billable hour model is becoming obsolete. Mathew talks about the framework for using AI effectively within the legal space. It is important to remember that AI tools, like ChatGPT, are not calculators. They have biases and are reinforced by the humans who designed them. They are also not perfect and should be used as an aid. For the legal space, AI should be used to give you all the information before giving you an answer.Mathew delves into the topic of the billable hour model and why firms should move to subscription based models. The billable hour includes doing a bunch of tasks for a client within a set time frame for a price. If a client only pays you for one hour, you are only working for that hour. But switching to a subscription based model with AI in mind means you can scale your business better. You can develop better relationships with clients because there is predictable revenue.Listen in to learn more!4:38 The Latent Legal Market Opportunity9:11 Framework for Using AI Effectively13:25 Retrieval Augmented Generation & Tool Selection16:07 AI in Legal Practice19:10 The End of the Billable Hour & Subscription BenefitsTune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.

Prince Andrew repeatedly refused to cooperate with formal legal requests seeking his testimony about Jeffrey Epstein, denying at least three documented approaches from attorneys representing Epstein victims and, later, U.S. authorities. Lawyers for Virginia Giuffre first sought Andrew's cooperation during civil litigation in the United States, requesting interviews and testimony about his relationship with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Andrew declined to participate. Subsequent formal requests—renewed as evidence mounted and court deadlines approached—were likewise rejected, with his legal team maintaining that he would not submit to questioning or provide a sworn account.That pattern continued even as pressure escalated. U.S. prosecutors publicly stated they had made repeated efforts to speak with Andrew as part of their Epstein investigation, only to be rebuffed each time. Legal experts noted that while Andrew was under no obligation to voluntarily cooperate as a foreign national, his refusal to engage stood in sharp contrast to public claims that he was eager to help authorities. The denials became a central feature of the case's narrative, reinforcing criticism that Andrew avoided scrutiny not through legal immunity, but through strategic non-cooperation—declining every formal opportunity to explain his role in Epstein's orbit under oath.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
1 / 4 MDJ Script/ Top Stories for December 31st Publish Date: December 31st Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Today is Wednesday, December 31st and Happy Birthday to Donna Summer I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal 1. ‘Bittersweet’ goodbye: Marietta school board says farewell to three colleagues 2. New Cobb Young Republicans Chair looks to affordability, voter engagement 3. Cumberland CID details big projects, future plans All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! BREAK: INGLES 1 STORY 1: ‘Bittersweet’ goodbye: Marietta school board says farewell to three colleagues The final meeting of the year for the Marietta Board of Education was a bittersweet one, full of hugs, tears, and heartfelt goodbyes as three longtime members—A.B. Almy, Kerry Minervini, and Jason Waters—stepped down. During the meeting, emotions ran high. Vice Chair Jaillene Hunter praised Almy for her relentless push for academic excellence. Angela Orange called Minervini “a woman who gives a million percent,” while Irene Berens, tearing up, described Waters as “an exceptional man and a dear friend.” Waters, who’s moving on to the Marietta City Council, called the moment “surreal.” Minervini, meanwhile, joked about finding a new hobby, and Almy expressed gratitude for her time on the board. The night ended with a video tribute, glass plaques, and a reminder of the board’s legacy: being named Georgia’s 2025 School Board of the Year. STORY 2: New Cobb Young Republicans Chair looks to affordability, voter engagement At just 25, Andre Stafford is stepping up as the new chairman of the Cobb Young Republicans, ready to shake things up. “I’m all in,” he says, a mantra that’s driven him since he first got involved in politics after the 2024 assassination attempt on Donald Trump—a moment that, for him, changed everything. Stafford, a restaurant manager by day, wants to grow the group, boost voter turnout, and focus on issues like affordability. “The American Dream feels like a fairy tale to my generation,” he says. “We need more homeowners, less paycheck-to-paycheck living.” His goal? Turn Cobb red—and keep it that way. STORY 3: Cumberland CID details big projects, future plans 2 / 4 Big things are happening in Cumberland, and Kim Menefee, the CID’s executive director, couldn’t be prouder. “2025 was our best year yet,” she told lawmakers at a recent meeting. One highlight? The first phase of the New Day Palisades project at Paces Mill Park. With $6.3 million in upgrades—like better parking, trail access, and erosion control—it’s already drawing millions of visitors. Phase 2 kicks off in 2026, with a $9.5 million price tag and plans for a visitor center and river overlooks. Oh, and driverless shuttles? Coming in 2027. Free rides connecting The Battery, Truist Park, and more. Cumberland’s future? Bold. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info. We’ll be right back. Break: INGLES 1 STORY 4: Cobb Superior Court Clerk asks judge to dismiss charges against her Lawyers for Cobb Superior Court Clerk Connie Taylor are fighting to get her case dismissed before it even reaches trial. Meanwhile, prosecutors are busy filing motions over what evidence can and can’t be shown in court. Taylor, elected in 2020, faces four felony charges tied to allegations she mishandled passport fee records—pocketing over $425,000 in fees during her first two years in office. Things escalated when a whistleblower claimed Taylor ordered records destroyed, reportedly saying, “We’re just going to Donald Trump this thing.” Taylor denies wrongdoing, but if convicted, she’ll lose her job permanently. A hearing is set for Feb. 5. STORY 5: Marietta residents call for increased safety measures after crash on train tracks Residents are sounding the alarm after a truck barreled off the road and crashed near the train tracks at Kennesaw Avenue and Church Street last week. Melissa Korczyk, out for a walk with her toddler and dog, heard the screech of tires just before 10 a.m. “I look up, and this car is flying down Kennesaw Avenue,” she said. “It hit the tracks, went airborne, and slammed into the pedestrian signal.” The driver, who also hit a light post and tree, escaped with minor injuries and was charged with reckless driving. “It’s scary,” Korczyk said. “That intersection feels like an accident waiting to happen.” Break: 3 / 4 STORY 6: Marietta celebrates legacy of service as three council members retire The Marietta Fire Museum was full of laughter, hugs, and a few teary eyes last week as friends, family, and city staff gathered to honor retiring council members Andy Morris, Grif Chalfant, and Johnny Walker. “You’ve left a footprint on this city that just keeps getting better,” said Mayor Steve “Thunder” Tumlin, summing up the mood of the night. Chalfant, who’s been on the council since 2005, joked about finally tackling 20 years of neglected home projects—and maybe fixing up his Triumph TR3. Morris, a lifelong Marietta resident, said he’s ready to relax with his new dog, Harry. “I might even pick up golf again,” he added. Walker, proud of his work on school traffic safety, plans to focus on real estate, photography, and more time at home. Each was presented with a Distinguished Service Award, a fitting send-off for years of dedication. STORY 7: Baby clothes program helps mothers in need year-round For nearly two decades, Rosemary Buckley has quietly made life a little easier for new moms in need. Every month, she gathers bundles of baby clothes—layettes—and delivers them to Wellstar Kennestone, where they’re given to families who could use a little extra help. “It’s not just store-bought stuff,” Buckley says. “Parishioners make blankets, tiny hats, even mittens. It’s beautiful.” Inspired by her 12 grandchildren and a simple church request back in 2007, Buckley has turned this into her mission. Monsignor John Walsh calls her a “woman of action.” She just calls it “something that needs to be done.” We’ll have closing comments after this.

In November 2020, lawyers representing a Jeffrey Epstein victim filed a legal motion demanding that the U.S. Department of Justice release previously concealed information related to Epstein's secret 2007 non-prosecution agreement. The motion centered around a troubling gap in documentation—specifically, missing emails from then-U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta's office during the period when the controversial plea deal was negotiated. Victims' attorneys argued that these missing records could reveal undisclosed communications, potential misconduct, or improper coordination between Epstein's defense team and federal prosecutors.The legal team emphasized that the absence of this material undermined public trust and cast doubt on the government's narrative surrounding Epstein's prosecution. “I think it calls into doubt everything that we've been told about the case,” said one of the attorneys, urging the DOJ to come clean about the full extent of its dealings with Epstein. The motion underscored the growing belief among survivors and their advocates that the original agreement—which allowed Epstein to avoid federal charges and protected unnamed co-conspirators—was not just flawed, but potentially the product of behind-the-scenes corruption or manipulation that still has not been fully disclosed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Lawyers for Epstein victim seek 'previously concealed information' from Justice Department - ABC NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Addressing the relationship between law and the visual, this book examines the importance of photography in Central, East, and Southeast European show trials. The dispensation of justice during communist rule in Albania, East Germany, and Poland was reliant on legal propaganda, making the visual a fundamental part of the legitimacy of the law. Analysing photographs of trials, Agata Fijalkowski's Law, Visual Culture, and the Show Trial (Routledge, 2023) examines how this message was conveyed to audiences watching and participating in the spectacle of show trials. The book traces how this use of the visual was exported from the Soviet Union and imposed upon its satellite states in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War. It shows how the legal actors and political authorities embraced new photographic technologies to advance their legal propaganda and legal photography. Drawing on contemporary theoretical work in the area, the book then challenges straightforward accounts of the relationship between law and the visual, critically engaging entrenched legal historical narratives, in relation to three different protagonists, to offer the possibility of reclaiming and rewriting past accounts. As its analysis demonstrates, the power of images can also be subversive; and, as such, the cases it addresses contribute to the discourse on visual epistemology and open onto contemporary questions about law and its inherent performativity.

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you looking for some insights on how to create a healthy firm culture? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson interviews law firm co-founder, Travis Howard about his journey from corporate life to building a firm with a strong, authentic culture rooted in shared values, transparency, and conscious leadership. They discuss practical strategies for defining and sustaining company culture, managing ego, and fostering emotional intelligence. As a law firm owner who can control the culture of that firm, it is important for the culture to mimic that of the owners. It is important to take shared experiences of the owners and use those to design the foundations of the culture from that. You don't want to create a culture that simply mimics that of another because you feel that is what your workers want. Using it as inspiration, you understand your own values and that of your staff and create something dynamic.Travis shares some practices that enable growth for a firm. One practice is to be honest with each other about what the core principles are for the firm and follow them. For Travis, his firm still does formal reviews, which began at the start of the firm, to talk about things staff are displeased with and things they can do better. This really builds trust for staff and allows for open dialogue.Listen in to learn more!• 4:19 Building Law Firm Culture• 8:08 Avoiding Toxic Culture• 17:30 Unique Cultural Practices• 31:27 Culture's Role in Reputation and Trust • 35:21 Practices That Enable Growth• 44:51 Introspective and Conscious LeadershipConnect with Travis:Website LinkedIn Tune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.

If you're wondering about police procedures—or just want some sharp legal insight—this Q&A style episode is packed with answers and practical examples.Welcome back to Lawyer Talk! In this episode, host Steve Palmer dives into a listener's question that stirs up plenty of curiosity: Can Ohio police pull you over in an unmarked cruiser?With law student Troy Henricksen joining in, the conversation covers the legal nuances unique to Ohio, from what counts as a “competent” police witness in traffic court to the reasons behind those uniform and marked cruiser requirements.Along the way, Steve Palmer unpacks courtroom procedures, shares real-world stories about undercover officers, and gives listeners a deeper understanding of how traffic stops play out under Ohio law.Top 3 Takeaways:Uniform + Marked Car = Required for Traffic Patrol: In Ohio, for a police officer's testimony about a traffic violation to be competent in court, they must have been in uniform and driving a marked cruiser on routine patrol.Undercover Cops Face Limits: Officers working undercover or as part of a task force, driving unmarked cars, are typically not allowed to testify against drivers in routine traffic violation cases.Legal Definitions Matter: Ohio has unique “competency” rules—not just about mental fitness, but specific circumstances like police attire and vehicle—that can make or break a traffic case.Got a question you want answered on the podcast?
