In this special episode, we take an in-depth look at DUI blood draws.  We start with the meat and potatoes: What does a successful implied consent admonition look like?  When can you do a warrantless blood draw?  And how do you conduct a forced blood draw that doesn't shock the conscience  From there, we take a more in-depth look at the history and future of DUI blood draws.  Thanks for tuning in.

On this episode, we'll talk about the world's biggest chalk block, spend a few minutes talking about some good and bad Miranda issues, discuss the infamous "654" phrase that you've probably heard from local lia... I mean, lawyers, iron out money laundering, figure out when a juvenile is not a juvenile (almost never these days), and close with a cool decision on warrantless DUI blood draws.

The Supreme Court clears its own calendar, the Ninth Circuit eats crow and then says the shot clock expired before the ball left two bad guys' hands, and the California courts give us a semi-important reminder about accomplice testimony.

On this week's bonus episode, we catch up to the courts and have super exciting discussions about why it's good to get a search warrant, how the Ninth Circuit concluded 211 PC is a non-violent felony, why it's a bad idea to get spun, put on a mask, and make people think you're trying to kill them, and how you can be guilty of murder by doing nothing more than whispering in someone's ear.  For our special topic, we'll discuss jury instructions: What they are, how you get them, and why you should care about them.  

Thanks for tuning in!

On this episode, we're going to look at a Supreme Court case on use of force (that smacks down the Ninth Circuit!), a case on a really, really bad warrant from the Ninth Circuit, and some cases from the California courts that define possession of burglary tools (turns out they're not what you think) and robbery (turns out it is what you think).  We're also going to take a closer look at Miranda and the things you need to document to make sure that confession comes in.

In this episode, we'll introduce the show and go over everything you never wanted to know (but probably should) about the courts.
