Daniel Penny for Your Thoughts, NY v Penny trial audio book on Amazon, sample by Matthew Russell Lee here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CY6JNDFD I. A Subway Car Like This One Onto a subway car like this one he got on, a muffin in his jacket pocket wrapped in plastic, a spleen speckled, it would turn out, by sickle cell disease. But that is not what killed him, Assistant District Attorney Dafna Yoran would say. Was it an improper blood choke, or the terror he inspired, in a lady from Park Slope with her baby, a Nike brand ambassador on the way to Rucker Park? Even the Bronx school girls said they were frightened, even if one did later drop the dime on the white man. That was prosecutor Jillian Shartrand's doing, to call the victim by his name and the defendant merely the white man. Of the decedent there was more, not only the mother stuffed in a suitcase but the channeling of Michael Jackson, dreams. Now to see a man lifeless on the subway's floor, liquids flowing out of his pants, his eyes rolling back -- here in the courtroom, a woman starts to cry and the anonymous jurors look over, a lady in a COVID mask, her eyes suddenly big. Another woman next to me is typing loudly, two fingers only, stopping to fan herself and shake her head. It is not possible to know if she is for a guilty or not guilty verdict: either way, she doesn't like it. The defendant sits stiffly straight, not looking at the jurors. A Marine who misapplied the air choke? A racist or a hero or both. The subway door is closing. The story nears its end. II.

Enter coupon code OPENING for 4 months EXTRA at https://surfshark.com/OPENING We are excited to welcome Georgetown law professor Steve Vladeck back to Opening Arguments for a look back at how the Supreme Court responded to the infamously unruly--and increasingly more extreme--Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in its last term. How did the 5th “win by losing,” and why is there still cause for future concern even after SCOTUS reversed all but three of the eleven cases it took up from them? What kind of messages are the high court justices trying to send back to the 5th, and why aren't they receiving them?  Also discussed: Neil Gorsuch's most recent not-quite-true statement, why the Supreme Court continues to tolerate the dumbest standing arguments on Earth, the 5th's use (and abuse) of administrative stays, and what may or may not be wrong with Matt's brain.

In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," defense attorney Bob Motta, host of the "Defense Diaries" podcast, discusses the Black Swan murder trial of Ashley Benefield. The case centers around Benefield, who shot her husband, Doug, claiming self-defense under Florida's Stand Your Ground law. The courts previously rejected this defense, leading to the current trial. Motta highlights the complexities of the case, noting Doug's lack of a violent history and the conflicting narratives surrounding the shooting. He discusses the brief, tumultuous marriage, Doug's daughter's opposition to the relationship, and Ashley's allegations against Doug, including an incident where Doug discharged a weapon into the ceiling. The conversation also delves into the potential role of digital evidence, such as text messages between Ashley and her mother, in revealing more about the circumstances of the shooting. Motta emphasizes the challenges faced by the state in proving their case beyond a reasonable doubt, especially given the lack of witnesses and the reliance on circumstantial evidence. Comparisons are made to the Lori Vallow case, underscoring the trial's intrigue and complexity. **Main Points:** - Discussion of the Black Swan murder trial of Ashley Benefield. - Overview of Florida's Stand Your Ground law and its implications in the case. - Rejection of Ashley Benefield's initial defense by the courts. - Examination of Doug Benefield's character and history, including his daughter's disapproval of the marriage. - Details of Ashley's allegations against Doug and the incident of Doug discharging a weapon into the ceiling. - The significance of digital evidence, such as text messages, in the trial. - Challenges faced by the prosecution in proving their case beyond a reasonable doubt. - Comparisons to the Lori Vallow case, highlighting the trial's complexity and intrigue. #BlackSwanMurderTrial #AshleyBenefield #DougBenefield #StandYourGroundLaw #FloridaLaw #DigitalEvidence #LoriVallowCase Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In response to Opening Arguments, the hosts solve a Multi State Bar Exam question involving trespass, aggressive fish and tortious liability from the perspective of French Law.

John is joined by Jeffrey Toobin, celebrated author and legal analyst, who reflects on his extensive career in law and legal journalism.  First, Jeffrey describes his legal background, including his clerkship on the Second Circuit which led to his years working for the Independent Counsel investigating the Iran Contra scandal (which led to his first book, Opening Arguments) and his years as an Assistant US Attorney.  He also describes his years writing for the New Yorker and covering the OJ Simpson trial which led to his second book, The Run of His Life.  Jeffrey then explains the writing process that has allowed him to complete nine books so far, including his strategy of writing about topics that have not been covered extensively by other authors, his absolute commitment to write 1,250 words per day for the project he is working on, and his habit of beginning to write each chapter in the middle and only writing the opening of the chapter later.  John and Jeffrey then discuss why books on trials are so popular, including how trials are “perfect dramatic stages” and good trial lawyers are experts in both emphasizing the dramatic elements in stories and making issues interesting and meaningful to non-lawyers.  Finally, John and Jeffrey discuss their favorite books about trial lawyers and personal insights into the most unforgettable lawyers Jeffrey has met including Johnnie Cochran, Barry Scheck, F. Lee Bailey and Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B. Quinn Producer: Alexis HydeMusic and Editing by: Alexander Rossi

OA1030: Trump Trial, Week 2, Part 2! This episode centers around David Pecker's testimony and it's basically rock solid. Trump's attorneys are desperate, so Mr. Bove goes for the juggler! And then everyone has to explain it's actually "jugular" why in the world would you go for the "juggler?" Why would that be the idiom? In what world are jugglers like, crucial components of anything, at which you would want to go in order to really hurt someone or something? Maybe at circuses? They're arguably not even that important to circuses though, don't they just mess around in between way better acts to try to distract the audience a little? I just want to assure people that Matt had nothing to do with these show notes. He hasn't had a stroke or anything, don't worry. It's just that I, Thomas, now answer to NO ONE when it comes to Opening Arguments because.... SURPRISE SHOW NOTES ANNOUNCEMENT Andrew is completely out of OA! The legal bull shit is over!

Elon Musk is suing Media Matters for reporting that advertisers' content was showing up right next to posts from newly reinstated Nazis on X, something X's CEO said was impossible. Media Matters is based in D.C, and X is headquartered in California - so why did Musk choose to file the suit in Texas?
