In episode eight of Beyond the Legal Limit, Jeff starts off discussing the University of Pennsylvania transgender swimmer controversy. Then, in the legal portion of the episode, Jeff shares a highly entertaining story about one of the two times he's guaranteed an acquittal in his entire 31-year career.

Rashaun Weaver, who plead guilty to killing 18-year-old college student Tessa Majors, was sentenced to 14 years to life this past week. As the defense attorney on this case, Jeff shares the details. Next, Jeff talks about how even democrats are turning on Joe Biden after his disastrous press conference. Later, in the second segment of Beyond the Legal Limit, Jeff shares stories about his first job as a lawyer.

In this episode, Jeffrey Lichtman talks in-depth about a representation that began with a call from a childhood friend asking him the unthinkable: to represent a man convicted of molesting four young boys – and ends with the man being released from prison after a brutal courtroom examination which caused the judge to vacate the conviction mid-questioning.  Jeff also discusses President Biden’s disastrous efforts to appease Iran while at the same time Iran is trying to kill Americans. Finally, the Muslim terror attack at the Texas synagogue comes up. 

In episode five of Beyond the Legal Limit, Jeff shares his take on the events of January 6, 2021. The Democrats are mentioning that day in the same sentence as 9/11 and Pearl Harbor, which is extremely disrespectful. Donald Trump’s actions on that day and in recent months have been selfish, as usual. In this hot take, Jeff chooses no sides.

After the break, in the legal portion of this episode, Jeff shares how a dishonest and incompetent lawyer ended up saving his client from a lengthy prison sentence. This story exemplifies how defense lawyers must be opportunistic enough to exploit any and every opportunity they have to turn nothing into something.

In this new episode, Jeffrey Lichtman discusses the Ghislaine Maxwell verdict and the notion that a trial in which the defendant is facing the rest of her life in prison may not be the right time for a lawyer to try out her new purple hairdo. Jeff also reveals that during jury selection of one of his trials, he picked a juror who he was certain would prevent a conviction – and the crazy reason why the prosecutor didn’t strike the juror. Finally, Jeff points out the worsening hypocrisy of Covid restrictions in the face of a variant that is barely worse than the flu.
