Allegedly Golden

The Hasan Piker case against Scott Jennings has resurfaced a legal issue that everyone should be aware of, namely, that the law on manipulated content is far from clear. For Piker to prevail, he has to establish that the video published by Jennings was a "fact," which is far from well-established. Is this case a push to change the law, and what would that look like? Plus, some thoughts on the ongoing narratives regarding Melissa Nathan and Amy Griffin.

This episode is admittedly a series of rants-about internet weirdos who are implanting themselves in criminal cases, about why Amy Griffin has chosen a narrative that makes her look like a bully and how a different narrative might been better, about Stephanie Jones saying she knew who was behind the websites years ago, and a few tidbits about the Miraval, Tyra, and Hasan Piker cases.

If you don't mind hearing a periodic drill in the background, this episode is chock full of information.  I get meta on the Anti-SLAPP issues coming in every single entertainment case, discussing the cases involving the Pitt, Dan Schneider, and James Cameron.  I'm answering a common question about retiring judges and whether thats good or bad for litigants, including Amy Griffin. Plus, what that new excerpt from Jenny Slate reminds me about what Lively's case actually did.

Trigger Warning: Discussions of sex crimes, including those involving children

For this week's episode, I'm sharing my latest conversation with criminal defense attorney and fellow fashion-loving lawyer @attorneystara. Stara and I focused on sexual assault cases for this discussion, including the criminal case of Sandra Birchmore and the civil case filed by Jane Doe regarding Cornell. We talked about whether we should even have statutes of limitations for sexual offenses, whether banning fraternities will help keep women safe, and how these cases actually work their way through the civil and criminal legal systems.

I'm fresh from vacation and ready to dive back in!  We have a complete change in the Amy Griffin case from last week, with Jane Doe now deciding whether to abandon her original California case and move everything to Nevada.  There's major movement coming in the litigation involving Stephanie Jones and Jed Wallace, and I share some thoughts on Cornell and Clancy.

Two of the biggest cases on our docket this week involve the same law, one I've worked with for many years. So, this week we're talking about Title IX. What does it require, and where do its requirements end? Should it be used to hold both Cornell and Washington State University accountable for actions within their communities? Should universities be involved in these matters in the first place? And why does men's entitlement seem to permeate everything right now?

This week I'm processing out loud what its like to be a content creator in the time of Clancy and the other cases that capture our attention. What do I give credence to, and what do I ignore? How do I compare your content to others' and what ethical limitations do I put on myself? This episode doesn't have a whole lot of answers, but if you are also scrolling and thinking "what is wrong with people?" you'll find this one relatable.

After weeks of following the Clancy trial, I needed a whole episode to process the journey. We started with a coming together of women on the issue of postpartum struggles, then ended with a mistrial and Patrick sending cease and desist letters. What happened, and how did it evolve? What do we do with this last minute information about the holdout juror, if anything? And where does this leave us trying to discuss women's issues on the internet?

We all need a a break from heavy cases like Lindsay Clancy, so this week we're talking about litigation in the sports world, with special guest Mr. NAG. The New York Times was recently found liable for defamation for the first time in 50 years for reporting about a college basketball player. The SEC sued Louisiana State University last week over its attempt to bring players back from the NFL to play college games. Plus, the law firm hired by the NBA to look into violations of the salary cap rules issued its report-and its a how-to manual for violating the rules. We're discussing them all, including which cases we think are just for optics.

If you've been following true crime but lawsuits make your head spin, this is the video for you! I'm breaking down the civil process, including all the insider information about how it really works in practice. Most importantly, I point out all the ways the media coverage can manipulate whats really happening, so you can read between the lines the same way I do.
