(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) Being a lawyer is a stressful job, and we all handle the anxiety of this high-pressure field in different ways. Some enjoy pilates, others indulge in junk food, a few find relief at the bottom of a liquor bottle. But in 2023, one lawyer's preferred method of "blowing off steam" made headlines. It read: "BREAKING: LAWYER SUSPENDED FOR POOPING IN A PRINGLES CAN AND THRO-"

(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) On December 31, 1918, Colonel Luke Lea of the 114th Field Artillery Regiment handed his commanding officer a request for leave from his post in Allied-occupied Luxembourg. He would not say where he was going or what he intended to do, though he assured the general he had nothing to worry about. General Spaulding called it the "strangest request for leave he had ever read," but approved it anyway. After all, Luke Lea was not just an excellent officer, he was also a successful lawyer, newspaper publisher, and one-term senator from Tennessee. How much trouble could he possibly get into.....
Grab a baseball and an ashtray (trust me). Reb is breaking down State v. Wallace B. Davis, Luke Lea, & Luke Lea, Jr. (1932), but more importantly, all of the unbelievable chaos that happened before it.

(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) In America, unaccompanied children are forced to represent themselves in immigration court. That's right. Children as young as infants to teenagers. Each year, thousands of immigrant children are placed into court proceedings in which government prosecutors seek to deport them unless those children can prove they have a right to stay in the United States. While the U.S. government may provide pillows and booster seats for children who are too small for the chairs in immigration court, the government does NOT have to give them an attorney to protect their rights.
In this episode, Reb tells these children's stories and interviews attorneys Amanda Doroshow and Lauren Esterle with the Acacia Center for Justice who have firsthand experience advocating for these children both inside the courtroom and beyond.

(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) What do you call a 6-week period in which you and a handful of very recent acquaintances get drunk every day at lunch, sleep through the afternoons, sell weed to each other, smoke weed with each other, and whip out a few bags of cocaine to snort when the time feels right?
For a group of twelve people in Florida in 1987, they would call it jury duty. That’s right. Since 1987, jury misconduct stories only got crazier and crazier...including one where a jury convicted a man of double homicide by breaking out a Ouija board and asking the victims' ghosts. Yep.

(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) In the early hours of Saturday, May 15, 2010, Kalief Browder and a friend were returning home from a party in the Belmont section of the Bronx. He was 16 years old. Browder saw a police car driving toward them. More squad cars arrived, and soon Browder and his friend were squinting in the glare of a police spotlight. An officer said they had robbed a man. “I didn’t rob anybody,” Browder replied. “You can check my pockets.” . . .
Reb shares the cases of Kalief Browder and Inmate H, and thousands of other children and adults held in pretrial detention in the United States without ever being convicted of a crime. Some people say cash bail “creates Hell on Earth.” You might just believe them.

(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) Since Biblical times, self defense has been simple. Guard your castle. Retreat to the wall. Defend yourself. The U.S. stole its common law from the English, and the elements of self defense didn't change. Until.......Florida.
Why did Florida change its slogan from the Sunshine State to the Kill At Will State? Aren't Stand Your Ground Laws a good thing? How old is the Castle Doctrine? Whose castle is it anyway? Reb lowers the drawbridge on the madness and teaches you all the wheres and whens and hows on who is really allowed to "defend" themselves.

(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) Humans have been digging moats, slingshotting arrows, poisoning food, and laying spikes for thousands of years — and modern day booby traps are still alive and well. But what do an Indiana Jones-inspired hot tub contraption and a haunted house’s 20-gauge shotgun have in common? Vengeance.
This episode starts the engine for Episode 24’s deep dive into self-defense, "Stand Your Ground" laws, defense of property, and the Castle Doctrine. But first, listen to Reb pick tibia bones and shotgun pellets off the floor in Katko v. Briney (1971).

(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) Breathing through chemical smoke has been described as “drowning on dry land.” When one imagines chemical warfare, they often imagine a striking image of filthy soldiers choking in trenches on the frontlines through thick fogs of yellow-green gas.
In 1993, the Convention on Chemical Weapons sought to end chemical warfare as we know it.
20 years later, the international treaty the U.S. signed in 1997 to ban and stop the creation, sale, and export of chemical weapons for warfare around the globe led us to an unusual suspect in an unusual place—Carol Anne Bond, a 34-year old microbiologist living with her husband in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Carol Anne Bond was not a soldier. She was not welding steel cylinders of chlorine gas to be released over trenches in Belgium. She was not spraying 19.3 million gallons of chemical herbicides over Vietnam. She was not using white phosphorus against civilians in Fallujah or Syria. She was not a guerrilla fighter on the front lines, a terrorist, or a military contractor. She was an angry wife.
Hold your breath and wash your hands. This is Bond v. United States (2014).

Pararescue is the most highly decorated Air Force-enlisted force, executing the most perilous, demanding, and extreme rescue missions at anytime, anywhere around the globe. Their motto is: "These Things We Do, That Others May Live." Pararescue Staff Sergeant James D. Pou was so legendary, he became the "gold standard" for how the Air Force drills its trainees. He died a hero.
So why did the June 2, 1993 L.A. Times headline read: "Bigamist, Deserter Escapes From Air Force Brig"....? Grab a parachute and jump into the interstate scandal of one legendary Airman/escape artist, two wives, two affairs, five kids, one bank robbery, and a military prison break. Reb debriefs the military's very own "justice" system and why you can't lead a triple life if you can't keep your gun dry in U.S. v. Pou (1995).

Plug your nose and cross your heart - a rotting corpse is on the stand. 1,126 years ago, Rome was going through Popes like napkins at a BBQ cook-off. Most of them were killed, tortured, maimed, spit on...by each other. Eventually, Desperate Housewives and the Catholic Church collided to exhume a body and strap him to a chair.

Illinois attorneys John Steele and Paul Hansmeier had an X-rated dream: to represent the “little guys”. The wrongfully accused? The juvenile delinquents? The small businesses? Porn production companies, of course. What started out as a seemingly legitimate copyright business model snowballed into what Federal Judge Otis D. Wright II called “a porno trolling collective”. Yes, there are court transcripts.

A prison break, the oldest biker gang in the world, 558 death sentences, a body in a river, and the man who tried to dodge death just to run straight into it. Twice. The Supreme Court in 1976 had no idea it would set off a chain of events worthy of a biopic and a newfound appreciation for Harley Davidsons, bro code, and a really catchy crime syndicate slogan.
Rev (Reb?) your engines. It's about to get bloody. The penalty is death in Gregg v. Georgia (1976).
