RM88: Due Process is Dead

We roll into episode 88 just hours after news of Jeffrey Epstein is found dead in his cell. That is obviously our breaking news segment for the night. We are delighted to be joined by Mike, a long time patron out of New Jersey who gives us a great deal of inspiration and insight into getting a CDL license to drive trucks. Our weekly news items start with a jailhouse lawyer having a case make it all the way to the Supreme Court; An article describes that if you’re a male in the United States, a leading cause of death is interactions with the police; The jackass award of the week goes to a politician is trying to close a social media loophole; Alabama holds juveniles effectively for life, but doesn’t consider it life without parole; Old news, I didn’t realize it – but a man helps a toddler find her parents and gets beat up by the father – labeled a predator; A brief discussion regarding “Club Fed” and how some federal facilities are considered worse than Guantánamo Bay; Larry provides personal testimony regarding due process, statute of limitations, constitutional right to face your accusers; And finally go over the breaking news of Jeffrey Epstein being found dead in his jail cell
