As we recorded this episode, the Senate agreed to unanimous consent, sending the House passed legislation to release all of the Epstein files to President Trump’s desk for signature. Trump has already said he will sign the bill into law, as we saw Epstein victims rally on Capitol Hill today to urge lawmakers for full transparency. Amy and T.J. discuss the one lawmaker who voted against the bill - a congressman from Louisiana  - and the Harvard professor who has expressed being “ashamed” at his level of friendship with Epstein in the latest round of emails released to the public.

Prosecutors say Indiana’s Stand Your Ground Law does not apply to homeowner Curt Anderson, who fired a single shot from the top of his stairs, through his front door, killing a 32-year-old house cleaner who’s GPS sent her to the wrong home. Anderson said he feared for his life when he was awakened to the sound of someone trying to enter his home, grabbed his gun and fired. He maintains it was his right to do so under the stand your ground law, but prosecutors maintain that fear alone is not enough to justify invoking the law. This is just the latest tragedy to unfold where a gun owner kills someone who actually meant them no harm, and is reigniting the debate on whether these laws embolden people to shoot first, and ask questions later.

It’s a headline three decades in the making. The executor of the O.J. Simpson estate has publicly acknowledged it owes $58 million dollars to the family of Ron Goldman, but the most the family might ever see would be between $500,000 and $1,000,000, and even that might be a long shot. The Goldman’s have to essentially “get in line” with other creditors, including the IRS, following the death of Simpson last year. This all stems from the civil case where Simpson was found liable for the deaths of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson, the jury awarding the families $33.5 million dollars at the time. Right now, Simpson’s estate is auctioning off Simpson’s remaining memorabilia to try and raise enough cash to pay down its debts, but turned down a very high profile offer from Kim Kardashian, who was looking to purchase a very sentimental item for her family.

A Singapore judge threw 26-year-old Johnson Wen behind bars for rushing Ariana Grande in a social media stunt while she was promoting her new “Wicked” movie. Her co-star Cynthia Erivo heroically rushed to her aid, as Grande looked terrified watching Wen approach her and put his arm around her.   This is a woman who knows all too well what terror looks and feels like after her concert was bombed in 2017, killing 22 people. Does Wen’s punishment fit his crime, and is it enough to deter him from doing it again? This was not his first stunt and many believe this will just lead to more.

What an incredible story out of New Orleans over the weekend. 62-year-old Calvin Duncan has gone from being an 8th grade educated convicted murderer to an exonerated, college educated lawyer who just won Clerk of Criminal Court. Duncan spent 28 years behind bars, educating himself and helping fellow inmates before eventually being freed through the assistance of the Innocence Project. His political opponents used his past to try and turn voters against him, but it backfired and Duncan came out on top with 68 percent of the vote.
