Insider trading, state government employee fraud, and implementing DOGE across all of state government. Former Florida House Speaker Paul Renner on his ‘Florida First' agenda as candidate for governor

In the second part of our conversation with Sabina Grigore, PhD candidate at the University of Amsterdam, we take a closer look at the discretionary power of prosecutors and how their decisions fundamentally shape access to justice.Building on the discussion of domestic prosecutions of international crimes, this episode focuses on prosecutors as institutional gatekeepers. Sabina explains how prosecutorial discretion determines what evidence is included in a case, whose experiences are legally recognised as victimhood, and which cases ultimately reach a judge. These decisions, often made long before any courtroom proceedings begin, have profound implications for both alleged perpetrators and survivors of atrocity crimes.The conversation unpacks how prosecutorial choices influence what can be considered a “just outcome,” highlighting the structural and human factors that shape legal processes in practice. Rather than viewing justice as a neutral or automatic outcome of the law, Sabina invites listeners to examine the layers of power, interpretation, and responsibility embedded within prosecutorial work.Throughout the episode, one message becomes clear: access to justice is mediated by institutions and individuals alike. Understanding how prosecutors operate — and the limits of their accountability — is essential to understanding where justice is enabled, constrained, or denied.What will you learn?How prosecutorial discretion shapes access to justiceWhat it means to view prosecutors as institutional gatekeepersHow evidence selection affects victims' recognition and legal outcomesWhy justice is shaped long before cases reach a courtroomWhat a “just outcome” means for victims and accused in practice

In the January 2026 episode of 12:01: The Death Penalty in Context, DPI Managing Director Anne Holsinger speaks with Aramis Ayala, Executive Director of Fair and Just Prosecution. Ms. Ayala made history in 2016 as Florida's first Black state attorney and later became the first Black woman in Florida to be nominated for state attorney general by a major party. In the podcast, she discusses her decision to not seek the death penalty, the reaction to her decision, and the evolving role of prosecutors in the capital punishment system.

Navigating the Complexities of Criminal Procedure: Eyewitness IDs, Prosecutorial Discretion, and Double JeopardyThis conversation delves into the complexities of criminal procedure, focusing on key areas such as eyewitness identification, prosecutorial discretion, the Sixth Amendment right to counsel, and the Double Jeopardy Clause. It highlights the systemic issues within the legal framework, particularly the challenges posed by unreliable eyewitness testimony and the significant power wielded by prosecutors. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding these legal doctrines for effective legal practice and examination preparation.In the intricate world of criminal procedure, understanding the nuances of legal doctrines is crucial for anyone studying law. This post explores three pivotal areas: eyewitness identification, prosecutorial discretion, and double jeopardy, each presenting unique challenges and implications for justice.Eyewitness Identification: Eyewitness testimony is often seen as compelling evidence, yet it is fraught with potential for error. The case of Ronald Cotton highlights how suggestive police procedures can corrupt a witness's memory, leading to wrongful convictions. The Supreme Court's Manson v. Brathwaite decision attempts to address these issues with a two-part test, but critics argue that the reliability factors can be tainted by the very procedures meant to be scrutinized.Prosecutorial Discretion: Prosecutors wield immense power in the judicial system, deciding who to charge and what charges to bring. While this discretion is necessary, it is not without limits. The Constitution provides checks against selective and vindictive prosecution, though proving such claims is notoriously difficult. The balance between prosecutorial power and accountability remains a contentious issue.Double Jeopardy: The Fifth Amendment's Double Jeopardy Clause protects individuals from being tried or punished multiple times for the same offense. However, the Dual Sovereignty Doctrine allows separate sovereigns, like state and federal governments, to prosecute the same act independently. This doctrine raises questions about fairness and the potential for excessive punishment.Conclusion: The tension between finality and fairness is a recurring theme in criminal procedure. As legal systems evolve, the challenge remains to reconcile traditional practices with scientific insights and constitutional protections. Understanding these dynamics is essential for navigating the legal landscape and advocating for justice.Subscribe Now: Stay informed on the latest legal insights and analyses by subscribing.TakeawaysEyewitness identification is a leading cause of wrongful convictions.The systemic crisis of misidentification is acknowledged by judges and scholars.Prosecutorial discretion is vast but not unchecked.The Sixth Amendment right to counsel attaches after formal adversarial proceedings begin.Double Jeopardy protects against multiple prosecutions for the same offense.The Manson v.

Simon's live roundup of events in the United States for James O'Brien's morning programme on the UK's LBC.

Eastern Cape Premier Oscar Mabuyane is facing fresh corruption allegations. AfriForum's Private Prosecution Unit claims provincial prosecutors tried to shield him from charges by misleading the Hawks. The unit says it has proof the Director of Public Prosecutions decided not to prosecute Mabuyane months ago, but falsely claimed more investigation was needed. The Hawks have contradicted this version, saying they were never told further probes were required. The allegations link Mabuyane to money funnelled from transport contracts for Winnie Madikizela-Mandela's funeral. Elvis Presslin spoke to Barry Bateman, Spokesperson for Afriforum's Private Prosecution Unit

Dahlia Lithwick is joined by former federal prosecutor Mimi Rocah, who brings her extensive experience trying and supervising federal criminal cases to a discussion of what the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse can teach us about justice. She suggests that the Trump administration's eleventh-hour switchback tactic of calling for investigations of only Democrats speaks volumes about how the Justice Department is functioning these days, proving that vindictive prosecutions are the only game in town, bonus if they also have the effect of power-washing the president's shadow from the scandal. Next, they turn to the extraordinary scenes in a Virginia courtroom this week, as the DOJ's case against former FBI director and Trump foe James Comey seemed ready  to fall apart at the seams. As this administration's practice of political interference in legal proceedings is supercharged by dear leader's “Dear Pam”  posts to “his” AG Pam Bondi, this conversation highlights why judicial integrity and the ever-expanding ranks of judges refusing to accept lies, are among the last best hopes for equal justice under the law in America.  Learn more about your ad choices.

CannCon and Ashe in America break down the latest alarming developments in the Tina Peters case, beginning with news that she was placed in solitary confinement after filing a grievance, an action described by inmates as blatant retaliation. They walk through Tina's firsthand account of being strip-searched, mentally evaluated, and isolated for a 17-day “investigation,” then expose a series of letters sent to Governor Polis from AG Phil Weiser, DA Dan Rubenstein, and the Colorado County Clerks Association, all pressuring the state to stop her transfer to federal custody. CannCon and Ashe highlight how these officials openly admit their fear of Tina's speech, not her alleged crimes, and connect the situation to Colorado's wider political machinery, from Griswold and Crane to thousands of new campaign-finance violations and fresh filings in the Arizona elector case.

In recent days we've seen several points of lights piercing through the Trump-induced darkness. First, a Trump-appointed judge, Karin Immergut, has issued a permanent injunction prohibiting Trump from deploying National Guard troops to the streets of Portland. Second, in a clear repudiation of prosecutorial overreach and abuse by Attorney General Pam Bondi and DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro, a DC jury has now acquitted - found not guilty - the man who threw a Subway sandwich at a federal officer.Glenn discusses the implications of these two new legal developments.

In this eye-opening episode of the Must Read Alaska Show, host Ben Carpenter sits down with forensic journalist and author David Ignell for a deep dive into the constitutional role of grand juries in Alaska—and how that role is being undermined by the Department of Law and the judiciary. At the heart of their conversation is the case of former Ketchikan Police Chief Jeffrey Walls, who was targeted with felony charges by three different prosecutors across three grand juries in two different jurisdictions. Each attempt was thrown out by the court, culminating in a judge dismissing the third indictment with prejudice and expressing a loss of confidence in the Department of Law's integrity. Ignell draws on historical and legal precedent—from the English roots of grand juries to U.S. Supreme Court rulings—to argue that today's grand juries are being deliberately disempowered. He shares insights from his 131-page book and first-hand accounts of how grand jurors, witnesses, and even foremen have been silenced or threatened when attempting to investigate government misconduct. This episode explores troubling patterns of institutional resistance to transparency, including a sealed grand jury report currently locked away in a judge's desk and the state's redefinition of "investigative grand juries" as a means to control outcomes. Carpenter and Ignell make the case for urgent reform—and potentially federal intervention—to restore the public's trust in Alaska's justice system.

James Craig Case: Poison, Premeditation & Prosecutorial Precision What happens when a trusted husband, a father of six, and a respected Colorado dentist is suddenly accused of killing his wife—with cyanide, eyedrops, and protein shakes? In Part 1 of this gripping two-part breakdown, defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins us from inside the courthouse to dissect the case the jury is still trying to wrap their heads around. The prosecution has laid out a chilling timeline: online orders for arsenic and cyanide, Google searches like “how to make murder look like a heart attack,” and hospital visits where Angela Craig mysteriously crashed—right after being alone with James. With no eyewitnesses, no surveillance video of a fatal act, and no dramatic confession, this is a case built entirely on digital footprints, emotional devastation, and one cold, calculated timeline. But is that enough? Eric Faddis walks us through the strategy unfolding in real-time—how prosecutors are methodically connecting Amazon carts, IV access ports, and digital forensics to paint a portrait of intent. He also breaks down how the defense is trying to poke holes in the chain of evidence and float the idea that Angela may have died by suicide. But with Angela's daughters testifying that their mother was optimistic and making future plans, the suicide theory may be dead on arrival. This episode sets the stage: Was this a clinical poisoning plotted by a man who wanted out of his marriage—or a tragic medical mystery that looks too neat to be true? Get the inside view from the courtroom—and decide for yourself. #JamesCraig #TrueCrimePodcast #MurderTrial #AngelaCraig #DentistMurderCase #CyanidePoisoning #CourtroomDrama #TrialAnalysis #EricFaddis #HiddenKillersPodcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The lawsuit, filed by Grace O'Marcaigh, accuses him of assault, battery, sexual assault, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The alleged incident occurred in July 2022 aboard a yacht named Victorious, which was chartered by Diddy for a family outing. O'Marcaigh, a stewardess on the yacht, claims the event devolved into a "hedonistic environment" involving drug use and sex workers, leading to an increased workload and unwanted exposure to illicit activities.According to the lawsuit, Christian Combs exhibited inappropriate behavior towards O'Marcaigh, pressuring her to drink alcohol and becoming aggressive when she resisted. He allegedly grabbed her arm violently, preventing her from leaving, and made unwelcome advances. O'Marcaigh asserts that this experience caused significant emotional and physical distress, adversely affecting her career and personal life.

In and out of juvie and jail since childhood, Charles Manson learned guitar in prison from the last of the great Depression-era gangsters. He also made music industry connections in jail like the Rolling Stones' road manager. During the "Summer of Love", Manson bounced from prison and took his act to San Francisco, formed a drug-soaked sex cult, moved the whole Family to L.A., and before you could say “celebrity orgy,” he was hanging with Neil Young, the Mamas and the Papas, and the Beach Boys. Charles Manson was about to be the breakout star of 1969…at least in his own mind. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners and includes graphic depictions of violence.

Today, Hunter spoke with Professor Justin Murray about his recent law review article, Prosecutorial Reform and the Myth of Individualized Enforcement. On several past episodes, Hunter has explored the field of Progressive Prosecution. As he has uncovered, much of the push back to these types of prosecutors is their decision not to prosecute certain types of crimes. Today, Justin is here to show how that critique does not comport with the history of prosecution, and he asks us to rethink how we understand how Progressive Prosecution should/does operate in our society.   Guest Justin Murray, Professor of Law, New York Law School   Resources: Justin's Faculty Page https://www.nyls.edu/faculty/justin-murray/ Law Review Article https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4932729   Contact Hunter Parnell:                                 Publicdefenseless@gmail.com  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patron www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast  Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN Trying to find a specific part of an episode?

Maurene Comey, an assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, has joined the federal prosecution team in the case against Sean "Diddy" Combs, who faces charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. Comey, daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, previously served as a lead prosecutor in the high-profile trial of Ghislaine Maxwell.Combs was arrested in September 2024 following a grand jury indictment. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges and remains in federal custody, with his trial scheduled to begin on May 5, 2025.The addition of Comey to the prosecution team underscores the case's significance, given her experience with complex sex trafficking prosecutions. Her involvement is expected to bring substantial expertise to the proceedings against Combs.Christian "King" Combs, the 26-year-old son of Sean "Diddy" Combs, has been served with legal documents at his father's Miami mansion. The lawsuit, filed by Grace O'Marcaigh, accuses him of assault, battery, sexual assault, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The alleged incident occurred in July 2022 aboard a yacht named Victorious, which was chartered by Diddy for a family outing. O'Marcaigh, a stewardess on the yacht, claims the event devolved into a "hedonistic environment" involving drug use and sex workers, leading to an increased workload and unwanted exposure to illicit activities.According to the lawsuit, Christian Combs exhibited inappropriate behavior towards O'Marcaigh, pressuring her to drink alcohol and becoming aggressive when she resisted. He allegedly grabbed her arm violently, preventing her from leaving, and made unwelcome advances. O'Marcaigh asserts that this experience caused significant emotional and physical distress, adversely affecting her career and personal life. Representatives for both Christian and Sean Combs have denied the allegations, describing them as "lewd and meritless" and attributing them to attorney Tyrone Blackburn, whom they accuse of filing unfounded claims for media attention.(commercial at 9:06)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Ghislaine Maxwell Prosecutor Joins Sean “Diddy” Combs CaseDiddy's Son Christian Combs Served Papers Regarding Alleged 2022 Sexual Assault: Report

Kamala Harris is framing her presidential race against Donald Trump as prosecutor versus felon. What kind of a prosecutor was she in California?  The Israeli prime minister will address Congress on Wednesday, and meet with Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Donald Trump. But support for Israel among Americans has decreased. Critics have praised “The Bear” for its realistic portrayal of the high-stress restaurant world. But it’s also about what alcohol addiction does to families.  Kamala Harris has embraced Gen Z internet memes and pop star Charli XCX’s viral summer album “brat” to energize young voters.  

The power of prosecutors extends far beyond the courtroom, shaping the trajectory of countless lives through their decisions. Legal experts Bruce Green and Rebecca Roiphe delve into this immense authority in an insightful interview, exploring the nuances of prosecutorial discretion and its profound impact on the justice system. Their discussion sheds light on the ethical and constitutional standards that guide prosecutorial conduct, emphasizing the balance between power and responsibility.

The Tom Renz Show – These lawsuits against Trump are so terrible that it's hard to even believe that they are serious. As we consider Fanni's conflicts of interest, the legally absurd approach being taken in the hush money case, the clear political nature of the documents case, and all the other nonsense, my only real question is why no one has been brought up on ethics charges.These cases are a distraction and nothing more...

In a gripping episode of 'Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski,' Tony and Attorney Eric Faddis delve into the myriad of civil cases and a looming federal investigation encircling the once untouchable music mogul, Diddy. Amidst allegations ranging from weapons possession to sex trafficking, Diddy's carefully curated image is under unprecedented scrutiny. Faddis critiques one of Diddy's attorney's bold claim of having "overwhelming, indisputable proof" of his innocence, cautioning against such grandiose public declarations. The conversation navigates through the murky waters of civil suits, non-disclosure agreements, and the potential criminal repercussions stemming from them. It touches on the prosecutorial strategies likely to unfold across multiple states, given the sprawling nature of the allegations. Faddis speculates on Diddy's possible defense narrative—emphasizing consensual encounters—while also pondering the influence of drugs on his judgment and behavior. The dialogue provides a stark look at the complexities of defending high-profile clients in the age of federal scrutiny, highlighting the potential for significant legal and PR battles ahead for Diddy. Diddy faces a tarnished image amidst widespread allegations, with his legal team aggressively asserting his innocence. Civil suits and settled cases may provide a foundation for federal criminal investigations, with NDAs offering limited protection. Prosecutorial strategy might involve segmenting charges across multiple jurisdictions, focusing initially on the most provable offenses. Drugs are speculated to have played a significant role in Diddy's alleged misconduct, potentially influencing his decision-making and sense of invulnerability. Faddis suggests a cautious approach for Diddy, emphasizing humility over bombastic public statements, given the broad spectrum of charges and the serious nature of the allegations. #Diddy #EricFaddis #TonyBrueski #FederalInvestigation #CivilSuits #DrugAllegations #ConsensualDefense #MusicMogulDownfall #PublicImageCrisis #LegalStrategy Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Jesse isn't in the business of telling the audience what they want to hear; the harsh reality is that the system will not allow Donald Trump to become President again. Obsessing over a single politician and still thinking it's 1960. Is compromised, retiring Ken Buck making the finishing touches on his system membership card registration? Prosecutorial discretion. Making mistakes.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: On Wednesday, Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) seemingly froze while taking questions during a press conference. His doctor stated that McConnell is “medically clear” and is permitted to continue working—explaining that it was simply a case of lightheadedness. Philadelphia progressives want to raise the age of adulthood to 25-years-old for prosecutorial purposes. According to Randall Chase of the Associated Press, “a federal judge in Delaware ordered prosecutors and defense attorneys on Thursday to provide a status report regarding a felony gun charge against Hunter Biden. Judge Maryellen Noreika directed lawyers to provide the report by next Wednesday, including any steps they believe the court needs to take.” You can read the full report here: https://apnews.com/article/hunter-biden-joe-biden-burisma-plea-deal-taxes-guns-drugs-5887025e2caefef9bb5ddb23b69820e8 S.A.

...Plus, Prosecutorial feeding frenzy takes shape around Trump's effort to subvert 2020 election

Eli Lake—Contributing Editor at Commentary Magazine & Host of “The Re-Education Podcast”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest article at The Free Press, “Alvin Bragg's Dangerous Stunt.” Lake writes, “Many campaign finance law experts say it's unclear whether hush money would be an in-kind contribution to a political campaign, since Trump himself has said he made the payments to spare his family from embarrassment—not to win the 2016 election. What's more, President Biden's own Justice Department, which would be the appropriate venue to prosecute this case, has declined to do so—presumably, because there's not much there there. Finally, reporting violations of campaign finance law are almost never prosecuted as felonies.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.thefp.com/p/alvin-braggs-dangerous-stunt

In and out of juvie and jail since childhood, Charles Manson learned guitar in prison from the last of the great Depression-era gangsters. He also made music industry connections in jail like the Rolling Stones' road manager. During the "Summer of Love", Manson bounced from prison and took his act to San Francisco, formed a drug-soaked sex cult, moved the whole Family to L.A., and before you could say “celebrity orgy,” he was hanging with Neil Young, the Mamas and the Papas, and the Beach Boys. Charles Manson was about to be the breakout star of 1969…at least in his own mind. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners and includes graphic depictions of violence.
