Adam Montgomery walked into jury selection for his own murder trial smiling, tongue out. Then he refused to show up for most of the proceedings, choosing to stay in his cell. The jury convicted in under a day. The Supreme Court reversed the conviction. And now the Harmony Montgomery case is headed for a second murder trial where everything about this man's behavior will be on display again.The retrial raises questions the first trial never had to face on its own: whether Kayla Montgomery's uncorroborated testimony can carry a murder conviction, whether the defense theory that Kayla — not Adam — is responsible for Harmony's death will land with a fresh jury, and whether the cover-up evidence can still be used to argue consciousness of guilt when the Supreme Court said it only proves what happened after the killing.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta (Defense Diaries) joins Tony Brueski to assess both sides of the retrial. How a defendant's courtroom demeanor registers with jurors. Whether the speed of the first conviction tells us the evidence was strong or the jury was contaminated. And what the prosecution must change to get a verdict that survives appeal.

Massachusetts gave Adam Montgomery custody of his five-year-old daughter despite twenty-one criminal cases on his record. New Hampshire's child protection system saw the bruises, documented them, and emailed police that everything was fine. Two states failed Harmony Montgomery while she was alive. Now the legal system is asking for a second chance to convict the man who, according to prosecutors, killed her and hid her body for months.The Harmony Montgomery case has reached its most consequential juncture: a murder retrial with less evidence, a compromised key witness, and a defense team arguing an alternative theory. All of it playing out while the defendant faces decades in prison regardless of the outcome and refuses to say where his daughter's remains are.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta (Defense Diaries) joins Tony Brueski for the complete three-part breakdown: the Supreme Court's reasoning for reversing the conviction, the prosecution and defense strategies for the retrial, and the larger questions about silence, civil judgments, and whether justice is still possible for a child the system abandoned at every turn.

It wasn't a split decision. All five justices on the New Hampshire Supreme Court agreed: Adam Montgomery's second-degree murder conviction in the Harmony Montgomery case could not stand. The ruling, authored by Associate Justice Bryan Gould, found that trying the murder and assault charges together prejudiced the jury against Montgomery — the airtight assault evidence propped up a murder case that depended almost entirely on one compromised witness.That witness is Kayla Montgomery. Adam's estranged wife. She went to prison for lying to the grand jury investigating Harmony's disappearance before cutting a cooperation deal. The defense argued Kayla killed Harmony and Adam covered it up. The Supreme Court said that theory never got a fair fight because the strong assault evidence bled into the weaker murder case.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta (Defense Diaries) joins Tony Brueski to break down the legal reasoning behind the unanimous reversal and what it tells us about how clear-cut the procedural error was. Also examined: the defense's remarkable pivot from requesting the joint trial to appealing it, whether the trial judge should have caught the problem, and the gap between what the public thinks “overturned” means and what actually happened. Montgomery remains behind bars on other convictions. The state plans to retry.

This month on Laura Flanders and Friends, we're revisiting conversations around solidarity, kinship and what it means to be human.  This week we celebrate Marsha P Johnson's life and legacy with two trans activists who are carrying on her work.  This show is made possible by you!  Make a one off donation or make it monthly at LauraFlanders.org/donate.  Episode Description: Activist and artist Marsha P. Johnson was one of the key founders of the gay liberation movement after the 1969 Stonewall Uprising, but it's taken years for her to receive recognition. On this special Pride Month edition of “Meet the BIPOC Press”, we're celebrating Marsha's life and legacy with two activists carrying her story forward. A new biography from Penguin House, “Marsha: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson” by our guest, Tourmaline traces Marsha's working-class beginnings to her work with sex workers and street activists, to her death in 1992. Qween Jean is a self-described “spiritual daughter” of Marsha and the founder of Black Trans Liberation. Explore how mainstream media coverage once excluded Marsha, and what's changed since then. We also unpack the media's coverage of transphobia and the recent ruling from Tennessee that restricts gender-affirming care for minors. In the face of extreme backlash and repression, how are artists and activists reframing media narratives for queer and trans liberation? “A lot of trans and queer people, especially here in New York City, that are asylum seekers that have had to leave other countries from persecution now find themselves in a place of purgatory . . . They can't even go to get a hormone shot because they're afraid. What if ICE is literally outside waiting for us?” - Qween Jean “Marsha knew that these conditions didn't get to determine how she felt about herself. No court, no Supreme Court, no police officer, no governor, no president . . . She was creating the conditions to remind herself and each other that we too get to feel beautiful and know our value firmly.” - Tourmaline Guests: •  Qween Jean: Founder, Black Trans Liberation; Human Rights Activist & Costume Designer  including 'CATS: The Jellicle Ball' on Broadway •  Tourmaline: Artist; Author, MARSHA: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson   Watch the episode released on YouTube; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays, and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

Adam Montgomery's murder retrial in the Harmony Montgomery case will look nothing like the first trial. The assault evidence is out. The independent witnesses who corroborated the pattern are excluded. What's left is a murder charge that depends on Kayla Montgomery — a witness who did prison time for lying to investigators — and a cover-up timeline that the Supreme Court says only proves what happened after Harmony died.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta (Defense Diaries) joins Tony Brueski for the full three-part conversation. The legal mechanics behind the unanimous reversal: what went wrong at trial, why the defense ended up arguing both sides of the joinder issue, and what people misunderstand about a conviction being overturned. The retrial calculus: prosecution strategy, defense strategy, and the question of whether Kayla can carry a murder conviction alone. And the questions that outlast the courtroom: Montgomery's silence about Harmony's location, the civil judgments, the system failures, and what justice looks like when a little girl's body has never been found and her father won't say where she is.

The prosecution got its conviction the first time — the jury took less than a day. The Supreme Court said the conviction couldn't hold because of how the trial was structured. So what changes? The Harmony Montgomery murder retrial will look fundamentally different from the first trial, and the prosecution has to build a case that survives on its own.The assault evidence and its independent witnesses are out. Kayla Montgomery's testimony — the only direct account of the fatal night — has to carry the murder charge without a safety net. The defense theory that Kayla, not Adam, is responsible for Harmony's death will be front and center. And the cover-up evidence, which the Supreme Court said only proves what happened after the killing, needs to be reframed if the prosecution wants to use it.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta (Defense Diaries) joins Tony Brueski to examine the prosecution's path forward and the obstacles in its way. Whether Kayla's credibility problems are manageable or fatal. What the first jury's speed tells us about the evidence. And the single strategic adjustment that could make the difference between a conviction that holds and a second acquittal.

Adam Montgomery will die in prison. The math is done. Over forty-three years on the convictions that survived the Supreme Court reversal, plus thirty-two and a half years on firearms charges. The murder retrial won't add meaningful time. So why does the Harmony Montgomery case demand a second trial?Because the murder conviction was supposed to be the one that said what happened to a five-year-old girl and who did it. Without it, the record says Adam Montgomery tampered with evidence, lied to investigators, and desecrated his daughter's remains — but not that he killed her. For Crystal Sorey, for Harmony's brother Jamison, and for every person who has followed this case, that distinction matters.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta (Defense Diaries) joins Tony Brueski for a conversation about what justice actually means when the system has already failed at every level. Whether Montgomery's silence about Harmony's location is legally untouchable. How the civil judgments interact with the criminal case. Whether the defense has any reason to deal. And what this case reveals about a system that loses a child for two years, reverses the murder conviction on a technicality, and still can't bring her home.

The U.S. Supreme Court is nearing the end of its current term. By late June or early July, the justices will announce decisions in a handful of high-profile cases. One of those has to do with how law enforcement uses location data collected by tech companies. Minnesota's Supreme Court decided a similar case back in April.Investigators have used a tool called geofencing to draw a virtual boundary around an area where a crime was committed and find out from tech companies which phones were nearby. Law enforcement needs a warrant to access this data, but critics say the tactic violates privacy rights. University of St. Thomas law professor Julie Jonas joined MPR News host Nina Moini to explain the main questions before the Supreme Court, and what its decision could mean for Minnesotans.

Bill talks with legal scholar and former U.S. attorney Barbara McQuade about her book, "The Fix: Saving America from the Corruption of a Mob-Style Government," arguing that core democratic principles—rule of law and equality before the law—are eroding under Donald Trump. McQuade describes Trump's tactics as extortionate and mob-like, pressuring institutions such as law firms, media, universities, and allies, and warns that Congress has failed to check executive overreach while the Supreme Court's shadow docket and unitary-executive approach can enable it. She says DOJ independence has been damaged by political payback efforts and cites examples of alleged lawbreaking and self-dealing, including tariffs, Iran action, emoluments-style profiteering, and a proposed tax-related settlement. McQuade outlines “fixes” including restoring DOJ norms, extending ethics rules, and structural reforms like ranked-choice voting, independent redistricting, and overturning Citizens United, emphasizing elections and accountability, including reviving the election-interference case after Trump leaves office.

Days after the Supreme Court's Louisiana v. Callais decision, Tennessee became the first state in the country to eliminate a majority-Black congressional district. Memphis was cracked into thirds in just 72 hours, with no hearings, no community input and no requirement to notify voters. State Rep. Justin Pearson breaks down how it happened, what was lost and why he's running for Congress anyway — in the very district they drew to stop him.

Governments derive powers from “the consent of the governed.” Don't they? In one of the earliest constitutional cases, the Supreme Court seemed to say so. But the Eleventh Amendment threw a wrench in it all, making it exceptionally difficult for us to hold the government accountable in the courts when it violates our rights. In […]

The prosecution won the first trial in under three hours of jury deliberation. The second trial might not go the same way. The Supreme Court limited the financial crimes evidence. The defense has new evidence and subpoena power. The jury pool has spent three years watching documentaries and forming opinions. And the AG just complicated everything by putting the death penalty on the table.Eric Bland predicted a high likelihood of reconviction when the ruling came down. He also said something most legal commentators skipped — that there's a real possibility of a hung jury. One or two jurors who decide circumstantial evidence isn't enough. One or two who watched three years of Murdaugh content and came in with doubt baked in. That's all it takes.On True Crime Today, Bland explains what the prosecution should prioritize, whether the kennel video still hits the same after years of public dissection, and what Harpootlian might actually have when he says the defense has uncovered additional evidence. He also gives the most honest assessment you'll hear on whether Alex Murdaugh should take the stand again — from someone who watched him do it the first time and knows exactly what it cost him.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Strip away the twelve and a half hours of financial crimes testimony that dominated the first trial. Take out the emotional victim impact that the Supreme Court just called prejudicial. What's left is a circumstantial murder case built on a cell phone video and a lie about being at the kennels. Eric Bland says that might be enough. He also says it might not.Bland built the financial crimes case the prosecution leaned on. He knows which pieces were essential to motive and which were emotional padding. In this interview, he does something nobody's asked him to do on any other show — he walks through what he'd tell Creighton Waters to keep and what to cut if the prosecutor called him for advice.He also tackles the defense's escalating strategy. Harpootlian says they have new evidence. Griffin is pointing to unknown DNA under Maggie's fingernails. The AG has put the death penalty on the table and handed Harpootlian a vindictive prosecution argument on a platter. And Alex Murdaugh may or may not take the stand again.Bland has spent years in discovery on the financial side of this case. He knows what's in those records. The question nobody's asking is whether the defense can reframe anything Bland has seen.

It's Tuesday, June 16th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Two pastors killed in Manipur State, India Two pastors -- Pastor Kenpibou and the Rev. Manu Thiumai -- and at least two others were found dead in India's Manipur State last week, reports The Christian Post. The victims of ethnic and religious violence were found with their hands tied and their bodies mutilated in this northeastern state.  The Economic Times quotes a Manipur home minister who described the killings as “a heinous crime against humanity.”  74% of Israelis support sexual perversion today The Jerusalem Post reports that more than 100,000 persons participated in this year's so-called “gay pride” parade in Tel Aviv, Israel. A new study conducted by the Israel Institute for Gender and LGBT Studies found that 74% of Israel supports “full and legally enforced equal rights for the LGBT community.”  That's up from 61% just three years ago. Additionally, 89% of secular Israelis support equal rights for homosexuals and transgenders compared to 75% of traditional Israelis, 53% of religious Israelis, and 25% of ultra-Orthodox Israelis. Judges 3:12 says, “Once again, Israel did what was evil in the sight of the Lord.” Brazil's attendance at sexually perverted “pride” event cut by 50% In related news, one of the world's largest sexual perverted so-called “pride” events has been held in São Paulo, Brazil. However, a university drone count found that the peak attendance fell off from 73,600 in 2024, to 36,800 in 2026. Organizers say the total attendees topped one million, but that's down from three to five million in recent years. Isaiah 2:10-11 promises this: “Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of His majesty. The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.” Trump scored elusive peace deal with Iran The United States and Iran have reached a deal aimed at ending the war that will reopen the Strait of Hormuz and lift the American naval blockade, reports NBC News. A signing ceremony is set for Friday in Switzerland. Global markets soared after the tentative deal was announced, while oil prices fell more than $4 a barrel on the news that shipping may soon be restored through the key trade route, according to Just The News. On Truth Social, Trump wrote, "Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!” However, the memorandum of understanding leaves some key issues unresolved, setting up potential future tensions. The deal gives the two sides 60 days to resolve what to do about Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium and its nuclear program. Supreme Court sides with pro-abortion public school This just in.  The U.S. Supreme Court came down on the side of the pro-abortion lobby, to disallow a pro-life club from posting signs in a public school which would have denounced the abortion giant Planned Parenthood. Only Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented. Justice Alito pointed out that the “Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment constrains censorship.” Many U.S. Christian denominations have lost members American denominations have lost church attendance since 2007. Pew Research breaks it down by denomination. Only the Reformed Churches and non-denominational groups have recovered or gained members since 2007. By percentage,  Holiness churches have lost the most members, followed by Methodists, Adventists, Restorationists, and Baptists. In raw numbers, Baptists have lost 11 million members, Methodists have lost seven million members, Lutherans have lost four million members, and Holiness groups have lost 1.6 million members since 2007. Meanwhile, the non-denominational churches gained 10.5 million members, and reformed churches gained about 150,000 over this 14-year period. Overall, the decline of faith in America has leveled off since 2019, largely due to an increased interest in church attendance on the part of Gen Z men between the ages of 14 and 29. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act was not reauthorized On June 11th, Congress did not reauthorize  the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA. The vote was 198-218. FISA 702 has been used to spy on American citizens, and it actively circumvents the Fourth Amendment which prohibits the government from spying on Americans without a warrant. Almost all Democrats voted against reauthorization of FISA 702, but it took 19 Republicans to officially defeat the spying measure. Establishment Republicans signaled their disappointment that the measure was defeated, but Republican Congressman Tim Burchett of Tennessee explained, “The Fourth Amendment is there for a reason.” Trump saved 146,000 migrant children trafficked under Biden The Trump administration has rescued 146,000 migrant children who were trafficked into the country during the Biden administration. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin explained the situation and the conditions under President Biden. Listen. MULLIN: “We're going to right the wrongs that the Biden administration turned a blind eye to. It's because of President Trump's leadership. It's horrific what's happening right in our own country because of four years of a blind eye that allowed unvetted sponsors to come pick up 450,000 kids on our borders, knowing their reports. While the Biden administration was in office, their own reports reporting that over a third of the females, regardless of age, were sexually assaulted before they made it to the border.” Cleveland Clinic to invest $2 million to help de-transitioners In another domestic victory, the Trump administration reached a massive deal with the Cleveland Clinic Foundation which agreed to stop transitioning minors. The clinic also agreed to commit $2 million to help de-transitioners, following in the footsteps of Texas Children's Hospital, which set up a $10 million fund for that purpose.  Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward stated, “The Department of Justice is steadfastly committed to protecting America's children. Just as the resolution with Texas Children's, today's resolution with Cleveland Clinic furthers that commitment and puts these providers on notice that this Department will vigorously enforce federal law where children are put at risk.” In Mark 9:42, Jesus said, “But whoever causes one of these little ones, who believe in Me, to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea.” Artificial Intelligence can now clone your voice in a scam Please be aware!  Artificial Intelligence can now clone your voice with only three seconds of audio taken off of your voicemail greeting.  Artificial Intelligence scams increased twelve-fold in 2025.  Recent surveys have found one in four adults have encountered an Artificial Intelligence voice scam.  New York Knicks are world champions after a 53-year drought And finally, on June 13th, the New York Knicks became basketball world champions once again. ANNOUNCER: “It's over.  Knick fans: This is not a dream. Your long, long wait has ended. Go ahead and cry. After 53 years, the Knicks are finally NBA champions once again.” During Game 5 of the NBA Finals in the Alamo City, the New York Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs by a score of 94-90, capping off a stunning playoff run.  Knicks star Jalen Brunson scored 45 points in the victory, which earned him the nomination of Finals Most Valuable Player. But even more special for Jalen was the fact that his Dad, Rick Brunson, was his coach.  Amazingly, Rick, himself a former NBA player, made the finals for the New York Knicks back in 1999, also playing against the San Antonio Spurs in that series.  Rick and Jalen continue to maintain a close relationship, which Jalen elaborated on in a Good Morning America interview on ABC. BRUNSON: “Our relationship is unique. People may think just because he pushes me a certain way that we don't say things to each other, but I wouldn't trade anything for the world. We have the best relationship, even when it looks like we're fighting. That's just a coach and player trying to get over, to get to the Promised Land.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, June 16th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Jim Griffin went on national television after the Supreme Court ruling and said the defense has evidence nobody's seen — including an unknown male DNA profile found under Maggie Murdaugh's fingernails. He said it wasn't properly investigated. He said it changes the case. And now the defense walks into retrial with subpoena power and the ability to build a full third-party culprit strategy around it.Eric Bland has seen more of this case's financial discovery than almost anyone outside the AG's office. He's been watching the defense signal its strategy for weeks — the DNA claim, Harpootlian's argument that SLED had tunnel vision from night one, the push for a venue change and attorney-led jury selection. He knows what the prosecution has to work with now that the Supreme Court has limited the financial crimes presentation. And he's making a prediction that splits the difference: reconviction is likely, but a hung jury is possible.In this interview, Bland explains what makes the hung jury scenario real, whether the unknown DNA has the forensic weight to support an alternative suspect theory, and why Creighton Waters may be walking into a fundamentally harder case than the one he won. He also answers a question nobody else has put to him — whether anything in the financial records he's reviewed could be reframed by the defense in their favor.The lawyer who built the state's motive case gives his blueprint for trial two.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

“If you're not prepared to protect your rights, someone else will decide how you live.” Episode Summary In this episode of The Gun Experiment, we sit down with Peter Tilem, Second Amendment attorney and bourbon buddy, to chop it up on the latest legal battles, gun rights issues, and regulatory absurdities coming out of New York and beyond. We cover the implications of the new so-called “Glock ban,” why courts are so slow to tackle assault weapon and magazine bans, and New York's relentless push for tighter firearm regulations—including a new three-day waiting period. We also dive into free speech rights in schools, the expanding use of AI surveillance in cities, and the dangers of proposed hunting and fishing bans.

Key Takeaways New York's “Glock ban” is more bark than bite but shows a continued legislative obsession with targeting gun owners. Waiting periods and carry insurance bans in NY are likely unconstitutional and face tough legal challenges post-Bruen decision. The courts are a slow, inefficient fix for bad laws—winning elections and being active in local politics is more effective. Selective law enforcement (both liberal and conservative) is a slippery slope and citizens can't always rely on prosecutorial discretion for protection. Hunting and fishing rights are under political attack in some states—protecting these traditions requires active involvement and coalition-building. Surveillance technology and AI in cities continue to advance rapidly—at the expense of personal privacy and freedom.

Jon Herold comes in Tuesday on a hectic kid-shuttling day with a story that immediately raises questions. The FBI says it disrupted a terror plot involving explosive drones and a staged sniper attack targeting last weekend's UFC Freedom 250 event, with five suspects in custody and 23 more identified, but Jon notes none of them were arrested in Washington DC and wonders how surveillance happened just days after FISA 702 expired. Ghost joins for an extended breakdown of the Middle East endgame: Trump's strategy of simultaneously escalating and deescalating to box Israel into a corner, the bombshell that Naftali Bennett sabotaged the 2022 Russia-Ukraine peace deal while serving as mediator, and the prediction that Arab nations will drift toward Iran while Israel becomes politically isolated. JD Vance pushed back hard on claims Iran gets American money in the new deal, insisting not a single taxpayer dollar moves. Gavin Newsom announced he and his family are under DOJ investigation and called it political, though Jon suspects the real story runs through his wife's finances. The Supreme Court also rejected Carter Page's surveillance lawsuit on statute of limitations grounds, and Jon has thoughts about who that rule actually protects.

After Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted in December 2021 on five federal counts tied to Jeffrey Epstein's sexual-abuse operation, attention immediately shifted to sentencing, the survivors, and the unanswered question of who else had participated in or enabled the scheme. In June 2022, Judge Alison Nathan sentenced Maxwell to 20 years in federal prison, describing her conduct as calculated and emphasizing that she had helped identify, groom and normalize the abuse of underage girls. Several survivors addressed the court, portraying Maxwell not as a passive companion to Epstein but as an active manipulator who helped make vulnerable girls feel safe before their exploitation. The conviction provided a rare measure of accountability, but it did not produce the broader reckoning many expected: no sweeping prosecution of additional alleged facilitators followed, and many records connected to Epstein's network remained sealed, redacted or fiercely contested.Maxwell then began a prolonged campaign to overturn the verdict, arguing that Epstein's Florida non-prosecution agreement protected her, that juror misconduct had compromised the trial and that procedural errors required a new one. The Second Circuit upheld her conviction in September 2024, and the Supreme Court declined to hear her appeal on October 6, 2025, leaving the conviction and sentence intact. Her case nevertheless remained politically explosive: she was transferred in August 2025 to a minimum-security federal prison camp in Bryan, Texas, after meeting privately with senior Justice Department officials, prompting accusations that she was receiving preferential treatment. She later invoked the Fifth Amendment before Congress while indicating that she might provide information in exchange for clemency, reinforcing the sense that—even after her conviction—the full story of Epstein's operation, its enablers and the institutional failures surrounding it had still not been publicly resolved.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In Hour 3, Todd Piro joins Ryan Wrecker and Kim St. Onge to discuss the FBI's foiled terror plot targeting a major America 250 celebration, security concerns surrounding high-profile events, border security, and the challenge of balancing freedom with public safety. Later, Two-Way Tuesday continues with Mark Walters, who weighs in on the arrest of James Harden in Texas, Second Amendment issues, the Supreme Court's decision not to hear a major New York gun law challenge, and concerns about escalating political violence in America. The hour wraps up with Kim on a Whim as Kim examines claims from Gavin Newsom regarding political investigations, questions surrounding charity finances and government fraud, political double standards, and the role rhetoric plays in today's political landscape.

During this week's Two-Way Tuesday, Mark Walters joins Ryan Wrecker and Kim St. Onge to discuss the arrest of NBA star James Harden in Texas over an alleged firearms violation. The conversation examines permitless carry laws, police discretion, and how even gun-friendly states can create legal pitfalls for lawful gun owners. Walters also reacts to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision not to hear a challenge to New York's restrictive gun laws, expressing frustration with the Court's handling of major Second Amendment cases. The discussion then turns to the FBI's foiling of an alleged drone attack and mass shooting plot, concerns about escalating political violence, and the increasingly hostile political climate surrounding President Donald Trump.

This Day in Legal History: The End of Roosevelt's Hundred DaysOn this day in 1933, Franklin Roosevelt signed three pieces of legislation that closed out what the country has been calling the Hundred Days ever since: the Banking Act of 1933, the National Industrial Recovery Act, and the Farm Credit Act, with the Home Owners' Loan Act having been signed three days earlier. The Banking Act of 1933 is the one most lawyers know, because the popular name attached to it — Glass-Steagall — has been doing rhetorical work in financial-regulation debates for ninety-three years.Carter Glass of Virginia and Henry Steagall of Alabama, the Senate Banking chair and the House Banking chair respectively, built the statute around two structural propositions: that commercial banks should be separated from investment banking and the speculative securities business that had helped pull the country into the Great Depression, and that depositors at member banks should be protected by a federal deposit insurance scheme so that a panic at one bank did not become a panic everywhere.The deposit insurance piece became the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The separation piece was the part that got partially repealed by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act in 1999 and then revisited in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. The National Industrial Recovery Act, signed the same day, set up the National Recovery Administration and the Public Works Administration and was meant to coordinate industry-wide codes of fair competition; the Supreme Court struck the centerpiece codes provision down two years later in A.L.A. Schechter Poultry Corp. v. United States in 1935 on nondelegation and Commerce Clause grounds, an opinion that nearly killed the early New Deal and prompted Roosevelt's court-packing plan two years after that. The Farm Credit Act consolidated and refinanced the agricultural lending system that the Great Depression had taken to the brink.The legal point worth remembering is that this last day of the Hundred Days was, in retrospect, the moment the federal regulatory state of the twentieth century stopped being a collection of post-Civil-War commissions and started being the integrated structure of agencies, deposit-insurance funds, securities oversight, labor regulation, and welfare administration that the country has lived inside ever since. The fact that the Schechter Court was waiting in the wings to strike down the most ambitious piece of that day's work is part of the lesson. The constitutional question of how much economic ordering a Congress and a President can do at once was not answered on June 16, 1933 — it was framed.The Supreme Court on Monday declined to take up E.D. v. Noblesville School District, a free-speech challenge brought by the parents of an Indiana high-school student whose school district had refused to let her post flyers for her student-run anti-abortion club on classroom and hallway walls. The student, identified in court papers by initials because she was a minor when the case was filed, had been the founder of Noblesville High School's Students for Life chapter. The flyers she wanted posted featured images of demonstrators holding “Defund Planned Parenthood” signs. Noblesville Schools removed the flyers under a district policy giving administrators content-based authority over student materials displayed on school property, and the parents sued under the First Amendment.The Southern District of Indiana sided with the district in 2024, and the Seventh Circuit affirmed in 2025, both applying Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier, the 1988 case that lets public schools regulate the content of school-sponsored expressive activities if the regulation is reasonably related to legitimate pedagogical concerns. The cert denial leaves Hazelwood intact in the Seventh Circuit and everywhere else.The piece worth flagging is Justice Alito's dissent from denial, joined by Justice Thomas, which urged the Court to grant review and use the case to revisit Hazelwood's framework. The dissent argues that Hazelwood was wrongly decided to the extent that it lets schools draw viewpoint-based lines under the cover of pedagogical-concern review, and that the doctrinal distinction Hazelwood draws between school-sponsored speech and Tinker-style independent student speech has become unworkable in the age of student clubs, distributed school messaging, and post-Mahanoy off-campus speech. Two votes are not five votes. But two votes naming a case as the vehicle they wanted are how the next decade of student-speech cases gets queued up. The Court has now told litigants what kind of vehicle it might be looking for. Expect a steady drumbeat of cert petitions teeing up the Hazelwood revisit over the next several terms.US Supreme Court turns away free speech claim by anti-abortion student | Reuters via Maryland Daily RecordThe Supreme Court also turned away on Monday the National Shooting Sports Foundation's challenge to New York's General Business Law § 898, the public-nuisance statute the New York legislature passed in 2021 to let the state and certain private plaintiffs sue firearms manufacturers, distributors, and dealers for endangering the public through the marketing and distribution of their products.The challenge was supported by Smith & Wesson, Sturm, Ruger, Beretta, Glock, and Sig Sauer, and went up on appeal from a 2024 Second Circuit decision that held the New York statute is not preempted by the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, the 2005 federal statute that broadly immunizes the gun industry from civil liability arising from the criminal misuse of firearms.The Second Circuit reasoned that the PLCAA's “predicate exception” — which preserves state-law claims when the firearms industry has violated a state or federal statute applicable to the sale or marketing of firearms — covers a state public-nuisance statute that, by its terms, regulates the sale and marketing of firearms. The cert denial leaves the Second Circuit's reading in place, leaves New York's statute on the books and enforceable, and leaves the industry with a litigation exposure it had hoped to neutralize.The strategic part of the case is going to be the copycat statutes. California, New Jersey, Washington, Delaware, Illinois, and Hawaii have all enacted versions of the New York approach since 2021, and other states have similar bills in committee. Each of those statutes is going to invite its own PLCAA-preemption fight in its own circuit, and the cumulative jurisprudence is going to get built case by case until either Congress amends PLCAA or the Court decides one of these cases is the right vehicle to step in. Today's denial was not that vehicle.SCOTUS Upholds NY Law Allowing Lawsuits Against Gunmakers | The Daily SignalThe third notable cert denial on Monday was the end of the road for Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. in its long-running trade-secret fight with DXC Technology — the successor in interest to Computer Sciences Corporation. TCS had asked the Court to review a Fifth Circuit decision that affirmed a $168 million judgment against it for misappropriating CSC's life-insurance-administration software trade secrets and using them to build TCS's own BaNCS platform, which TCS then used to win a $2.6 billion contract with the insurer Transamerica.The Northern District of Texas verdict, returned in 2022, had been $56 million in compensatory damages and $112 million in punitives, and the Fifth Circuit upheld the punitives ratio in 2025 over TCS's BMW v. Gore and State Farm v. Campbell challenge to the proportionality of the punitive award and over its Defend Trade Secrets Act extraterritoriality arguments. The cert petition pressed both points and pressed a circuit split on the standard for proving misappropriation by an independent contractor that had been given access to source code under a nondisclosure agreement, but the Court declined.The practical immediate effect is that TCS will recognize a roughly $70 million one-time exceptional charge in Q1 of its 2027 fiscal year and the total exposure on the matter — combining the affirmed judgment with previously taken provisions — settles in around $220 million. The broader effect is doctrinal stability. The Fifth Circuit's analysis on cross-border trade-secret damages and on the extraterritoriality limits of the DTSA stand. Both questions are going to recur, and the next vehicle that brings them up may catch the Court in a different mood, but for now the law is what the Fifth Circuit said it was.US Supreme Court rejects TCS challenge in $168 million trade secrets case | Business Standard This is a public episode.

ustice is rarely simple. At the conclusion of this See You In Court conversation, Professor Stephen Vladeck describes justice as messy, imprecise, and complicated. Those complications, however, help give people confidence that the law is more stable, neutral, and principled than the will of whoever currently holds political power. This closing reflection connects directly to Robin Frazer Clark and Lester Tate's broader interview with Professor Vladeck about the Supreme Court's shadow docket, due process, judicial transparency, and public confidence in the legal system.

PLUS: Kemp's 11th hour endorsement may test his political prowess for now and later.When Nabilah Parkes stepped away from use Georgia Senate seat to run for lieutenant governor, I believe she put personal aspiration ahead of party and constituents, which is why I can't vote for her today. That said, she couldn't have predicted the Supreme Court gutting the remnants of the Voting Rights Act to unleash another round of racial gerrymandering, but that's where we are, starting tomorrow.There's a run-off for that seat where two Democrats hope tobe on the general election ballot in November to take the office next January, but Republicans could win it today with a surge in turnout up-ballot aiding them.It's a three-alarm fire, and stepping up to try and save that Senate seat for Democrats is an unconventional candidate in Adrienne White-Carden. She's a career woman, mother and wife who's worked behind the scenes on several campaigns and causes, and is now the face and name on campaign material.She joined me to discuss the moment, why it works for her and her family "just this once" and the uphill battle she and her campaign staff, volunteers and army of endorsers have had to wage in the lats week.- - - Elsewhere on the ballot, Republicans have to choose between "Daddy's (money) boy Burt" and Rick "the ick" Jackson - who now has backing from (ick!) Ted Cruz and the social media praise from Donald Trump Jr. (ick!). Meanwhile Burt netting an 11th hour endorsement from Governor Brian Kemp feels like a backhanded compliment of sorts but it and Kemp's backing of Derek Dooley in the US Senate primary seem to be early tests of Brian's political clout in the state he's governed for two terms.

Kate and Leah cover this week's three Supreme Court opinions—one featuring a killer Ketanji Brown Jackson dissent—before turning to legal news, where bad behavior is everywhere. We've got a violent judge who can't park in Idaho, politically motivated prosecutors in Chicago, and Trump's generationally incompetent personal lawyers failing to do basic lawyering. Finally, Leah speaks with Mary Moriarty, Hennepin County (MN) Attorney, about the charges her office has filed against ICE agents, the breakdown in cooperation between local authorities and the feds, and FAFO, the new coalition of prosecutors fighting back against federal overreach. The paperback edition of Leah's book, Lawless, featuring brand-new material is out on Tuesday, June 16.

OA1270 - A good court thingie! A famous case from 1986 gave us the “Batson rule” that prevents the use of “peremptory strikes” to remove people from juries on the basis of race. To this day, racial discrimination in jury selection continues to be a problem. But the Supreme Court recently reinforced the on-going utility of Batson challenges in two decisions… written by Kavanaugh? Tune in to learn about the history and modern application of this important protection of our rights. Swain v. Alabama, 380 U.S. 202 (1965) Batson v. Kentucky, 476 U.S. 79 (1986) J. E. B. v.

When Rachel Goldberg-Polin's son, Hersh, was taken hostage by Hamas on October 7, 2023, she became a prominent spokesperson for the families of Israeli hostages. Throughout Hersh's captivity, and then after his murder, Goldberg-Polin, who was born in Chicago and emigrated to Israel in 2008, argued that Israel's priority should be to bring the hostages home, and that the killing of all innocents, Israeli and Palestinian, must stop. She advocated with Israeli politicians, Pope Francis, and other leaders, and she addressed the Democratic National Convention in 2024. She recently spoke with David Remnick about her new book, “When We See You Again,” and how she has continued her work as a public figure despite unending grief. “People are desperate for us to be angry . . . to feel things that I think that they assume they would feel if they were in the position that we are in. But the truth is, I'm open to feeling anything,” she reflects. “I put Hersh in the ground on September 2, 2024. After that, I'm in a completely different universe.” Further reading: “Gaza's Broken Politics,” by Mohammed R.

Attorney Eric Bland has a problem nobody else in the Alex Murdaugh case has. He built the financial crimes case that prosecutors turned into their motive theory — the argument that Murdaugh killed Maggie and Paul to generate sympathy and buy time as his financial empire collapsed. The jury bought it. The Supreme Court said the prosecution overdid it. And now Bland's clients — the Satterfield family, the financial crime victims who testified — are being told their time on the stand may have done more harm than good.The Supreme Court's twenty-nine-page ruling focused primarily on Becky Hill's jury interference. But tucked inside that opinion was guidance that could reshape the entire retrial. The justices said twelve and a half hours of financial crimes testimony was too much. They called out specific witnesses by name. They said some of that testimony had "obviously high potential for unfair prejudice."The questions he has to sit with are the ones nobody else in this case faces. Did Becky Hill actually change the outcome? Was the financial crimes evidence improper, or did the prosecution just present too much of it? Does Harpootlian's victory lap change the fact that Alex Murdaugh stole from vulnerable people and is still serving decades for it? And what does this ruling mean for the people Bland represents — the ones who already lived through the first trial?On True Crime Today, Bland gives his first long-form reaction to the ruling, the defense's civil rights lawsuit, and what happens next for the families caught in the middle.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Adam Montgomery had twenty-one criminal cases in New Hampshire alone when a Massachusetts juvenile court judge decided he was fit to raise a child. The Harmony Montgomery case began the moment Judge Mark Newman awarded sole custody of a five-year-old girl to a man whose record included a stabbing, a suspected homicide, and shooting another man in the face. The court moved so fast it didn't wait for the required home study to be completed. Ten months after that ruling, Harmony was dead.Now the New Hampshire Supreme Court has reversed Montgomery's murder conviction on procedural grounds — the latest in a chain of institutional failures that stretches across two states and seven years. The court found that trying the murder charge alongside a separate assault charge in one trial denied Montgomery a fair proceeding. The assault evidence was airtight. The murder evidence depended on a single witness with credibility problems. The strong case dragged the weak one across the finish line, and the Supreme Court sent it back.But the system failures started long before the courtroom. DCYF caseworker Demetrios Tsaros was assigned to investigate reports that Harmony was being harmed — despite having served as Adam Montgomery's youth counselor fifteen years earlier. He visited the home, found it filthy, saw bruising around Harmony's eye, never spoke to the girl, and emailed police that everything looked fine. Manchester police responded to the Montgomery residence sixteen times in a single year. Nobody pulled Harmony out.Tony Brueski breaks down how two states failed one child — from the custody decision to the killing to the conviction that was supposed to hold and didn't. Montgomery still faces decades in prison. Harmony still has no grave.Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Campbell family's case has reached the highest court in the UK, the Supreme Court. They are litigating whether decisions by the AG can be challenged in the courts or if the AG is effectively above the law. If they win, they will be able to challenge the lawfulness of the AG's refusal to reopen Geoff Campbell's inquest, and winning at that stage would lead to reopening the inquest. Litigating at this level, whether in the UK or US, is very expensive. The hearing is in October, and the family needs to raise the final £125,000 by the end of June so that their barristers can get started in earnest.

Alex Murdaugh's murder convictions are gone — and the lawyer who built the financial crimes case the prosecution used as motive says the system just failed the people it was supposed to protect. Eric Bland represented the Satterfield sons. He helped expose the web of financial schemes that became the backbone of the state's argument for why Murdaugh killed his wife and son. The Supreme Court agreed that evidence was relevant to motive. Then the justices said prosecutors spent twelve and a half hours burying the jury in it — and that some of the most emotionally powerful testimony had no legal value at all.Bland sits in a position nobody else in this case occupies. He's not the prosecutor. He's not the defense. He's the attorney who handed the state its motive theory and then watched the court say the state got greedy with it. In this interview, he responds to the ruling with the kind of specificity only someone inside the case can provide. He takes on the Toal decision, the Becky Hill question, Harpootlian's "lone wolf" theory, and the defense's civil rights lawsuit that claims to benefit the very victims Bland represents.If you want to understand what this ruling actually cost — not in legal terms, but in human terms — this is the conversation.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This month on Laura Flanders and Friends, we're revisiting conversations around solidarity, kinship and what it means to be human.  This week we celebrate Marsha P Johnson's life and legacy with two trans activists who are carrying on her work.  This show is made possible by you!  Make a one off donation or make it monthly at LauraFlanders.org/donate.  Description: Activist and artist Marsha P. Johnson was one of the key founders of the gay liberation movement after the 1969 Stonewall Uprising, but it's taken years for her to receive recognition. On this special Pride Month edition of “Meet the BIPOC Press”, we're celebrating Marsha's life and legacy with two activists carrying her story forward. A new biography from Penguin House, “Marsha: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson” by our guest, Tourmaline traces Marsha's working-class beginnings to her work with sex workers and street activists, to her death in 1992. Qween Jean is a self-described “spiritual daughter” of Marsha and the founder of Black Trans Liberation. Explore how mainstream media coverage once excluded Marsha, and what's changed since then. We also unpack the media's coverage of transphobia and the recent ruling from Tennessee that restricts gender-affirming care for minors. In the face of extreme backlash and repression, how are artists and activists reframing media narratives for queer and trans liberation? “A lot of trans and queer people, especially here in New York City, that are asylum seekers that have had to leave other countries from persecution now find themselves in a place of purgatory . . . They can't even go to get a hormone shot because they're afraid. What if ICE is literally outside waiting for us?” - Qween Jean “Marsha knew that these conditions didn't get to determine how she felt about herself. No court, no Supreme Court, no police officer, no governor, no president . . . She was creating the conditions to remind herself and each other that we too get to feel beautiful and know our value firmly.” - Tourmaline Guests: •  Qween Jean: Founder, Black Trans Liberation; Human Rights Activist & Costume Designer •  Tourmaline: Artist; Author, MARSHA: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson   Watch the episode released on YouTube; PBS World Channel 11:30am ET Sundays, and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).
