"An incredible true story that reads like an international crime thriller peopled with assassins, political activists, shady FBI informants, murdered witnesses, a tenacious attorney, and a murderous foreign dictator."--Steve Jackson, New York Times bestselling author of NO STONE UNTURNED On June 1, 1981, two young activists, Silme Domingo and Gene Viernes, were murdered in Seattle in what was made to appear like a gang slaying. But the victims' families and friends suspected they were considered a threat to the dictatorship of Phillippines dicatator Ferdinand Marcos and his regime's relationship to the United States. But how could they prove it up against such powerful, and ruthless, adversaries? In SUMMARY EXECUTION attorney and author Michael Withey describes his ten-year battle for justice for Domingo and Viernes that he fought because “They killed my friends.” Follow along as he embarks on a long and dangerous investigation and into the courtroom to obtain convictions of three hitmen, and then prove in U.S. federal court that Marcos was behind the assassinations. If so, it would be the first time in U.S. history that a foreign head of state would be held liable for the murder of American citizens on U.S. soil. However, to accomplish this Withey and his legal team, working with the victims' families and friends, would have to defeat concerted efforts by the murderers, and those who hired them, to cover-up their crimes and obstruct justice. Then they'd have to overcome numerous obstacles including exposing the perjured eyewitness testimony of an FBI informant, uncovering the brutal murder of an accomplice who was being sought to turn state’s evidence, and working around the failure by local authorities to prosecute the Marcos operative who planned the murders. "If you have not heard Mike Withey tell the story of the cover-up of the Domingo/Viernes murders, you have not lived. I thank my friend and colleague Mike for writing it."-- Vince Warren, Executive Director, Center for Constitutional Rights See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Communication is not JUST speaking, it is also listening. We learn from listening in a conversation than speaking. I am delighted to introduce our special guest Chris Withey, an HR thought leader, who shares his top tips to being a superstar listener.

Michael and I talk about the gaping hole that is the Small Forward position. (As always with the Hornets/Pelicans) Then we move on to Rivers v Fredette and what that means for the rotation, whether we think Withey has a chance, and if Eric Gordon is awesome because of his appearance in NBA 2K15.   Enjoy the Podcast!

So - last week Michael and I talked about Davis becoming a monster.  We were too early in singing his praises.  The guy is crazy good.  So we talk Davis, we give Tyreke Evans his due, we try to figure out why Monty equates Stiemsma to Winning and Withey to development, and Michael again lays all his hopes and dreams on Anthony Morrow.  We also talk about Brian Roberts and if he's truly as vital a piece to the Pelicans as Demps seems to indicate.   Plus, Anthony Davis!

Michael and I talk about the different things we've been seeing the past couple weeks as the Pelicans defense appears to be tightening.  We talk about Davis and his crazy run, Jason Smith and his season-ending injury, and discuss why Tyreke Evans has not been particularly effective.  As always, we also wonder at why Withey isn't getting more minutes, whether Rivers is developing, and what is the deal with Eric Gordon's huge dry spells. Oh, and I slaughter several people's last names.  They deserve it.  Why use confusing letters?

Michael and I talk about Jason Smith's Injury, whether he or Aminu will be back next season, and where the team needs the biggest upgrade.  We cover trends for the young guys on this team - the play by Rivers, Withey, and Darius Miller - and who we were most impressed with.  We also talk, of course, about Anthony Davis' exceptional play as he's had to carry more and more of the load.  Last, we talk Jrue Holiday, what my three wishes are for the rest of the season, and where Davis would already fit in for a "Top Hornets/Pelicans players of all time" draft.

The Pelicans continue their undefeated role behind Anthony Davis.  Michael and I talk about whether we may have sold him short, whether Holiday will take fewer shots, what Austin Rivers may be this year, and spend a lot of time on players like Aminu, Stiemsma, Withey, and Roberts.

Why should the details of most legal settlements in tort cases be strictly confidential? Some think the details should be made public. Its a controversial topic for many. Join Ringler Radio hosts Larry Cohen from Boston and Tony Robinson from Seattle, both of Ringler Associates with guests who are experts on the topic. Please welcome Attorney Paul Stritmatter from the law offices of Stritmatter, Kesler, Whelan, Withey and Colluccio in Seattle. He's been a key figure in many multi-million dollar product liability and negligence lawsuits and settlements. Also welcome Law Professor Louis Wolcher from the University of Washington School of Law. He's been teaching law for 20 years and prior to his teaching career, Wolcher was a partner at the law firm of Petitt and Martin in San Francisco.
