(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.
Reb tops off a martini and hosts a seance in Tanner v. United States (1987).

27: The Lost Boys of Rikers Island
Saison 1 · Épisode 27
jeudi 18 juillet 2024 • Durée 01:07:16
(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.
**CONTENT WARNING** Violence against children

17: The Cadaver Meet And Greet
Saison 1 · Épisode 17
samedi 2 décembre 2023 • Durée 01:12:45
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. Why did we put a dead body on trial in 897 AD...and again in 2013? Oh, and can you marry someone after you die? As always, Reb gives you the answers, blessings, and vengeance in Cadaver Synod.

18: The Airman Is Alive
Saison 1 · Épisode 18
samedi 2 décembre 2023 • Durée 01:31:28
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).

Saison 1 · Épisode 16
samedi 2 décembre 2023 • Durée 02:24:58
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.
Wolf of Wall Street meets Suits meets adult film stars meets iconic court transcripts. Hear Reb unzip the epic saga of Prenda Law and Ingenuity 13 LLC v. John Doe (2012).

14: The Penalty Is Death
Saison 1 · Épisode 14
mardi 5 septembre 2023 • Durée 01:07:13
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).

13: The Dirty Liars
Saison 1 · Épisode 13
dimanche 20 août 2023 • Durée 01:18:17
Since 1969, the police have been legally allowed to lie to you. Yes, you. About anything. Anywhere and everywhere. And they do. All the time. One of their favorite tricks is to use the “false evidence ploy” to convince you to take a lesser guilty plea instead of risking a trial. Despite millions of guilty pleas entered in this country based on deception and misinformation, the Supreme Court has repeatedly held that it is okay for cops to be dirty liars. Reb teaches you when and how to shut your mouth as she runs through Frazier v. Cupp, Miranda v. Arizona, the "Interrogation Bible" used to train cops in the US, and the rights everyone should know how to exercise.

A fugitive wanted for murder stares at two newlyweds through a window on their back porch in Dover, Kansas on a Saturday morning in 2009. He makes them an offer: $10,000 to hide him, please.
