22: The Boxers, A Bomb, and Dolly Mapp

1 hour 43 minutes

(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) There are 3 reasons one of the most important 4th Amendment rules in America exists as it does today: (1) Boxers in the criminal underworld, (2) A bomb in the house of famous boxing promoter Don King, and (3) Dollree "Dolly" Mapp - The young black woman who dated bad boys and stood up to an all-white police force in Baltimore...and won.

What started as a mobster/boxer gambling ring turned into a 4-year battle over...you guessed it...nude magazines. Come with Reb to throw some punches and start a Dolly fan club in Mapp v. Ohio (1961).
