Fighting Back Podcast

You've heard the headlines about kids and social media addiction, but this case isn't about what got posted. It's about how the platform itself was allegedly built. Jessica Travis and Rocky break down the landmark child safety case against Meta, where internal company documents reportedly reveal a stated goal of maximizing "teen time spent on platform." You'll learn why this case sidesteps the legal shield tech companies have relied on for decades, how a $1.4 trillion ask turned into a $17 billion settlement, and where that money is actually going. If you're a parent, a teen, or just terminally online, you need to hear this one.

Days after a shooting in the parking garage of the Orange County Courthouse, the court granted the State’s Arthur motion and ordered the defendant held without bond. In this episode, recorded before that ruling, Jessica and Rocky break down the charges, from attempted murder to robbery with a firearm. What do these charges carry? What can happen if someone is convicted? And what is an Arthur hearing, and why can it keep a defendant in jail with no bond at all before trial? Jessica explains it all.

Florida voters will decide this November on a constitutional amendment that could reshape property taxes across the state, and in this episode, Jessica sits down with Attorney Jacob "Jake" Schumer, a partner at The Grosshans Group, to break it down in plain language. Together they explain how the changes could affect homeowners, business owners, and local budgets, when they would take effect, and the biggest misconceptions voters may have before heading to the polls.

A hung jury. A mistrial. And a case that isn't over. Jessica Travis and Rocky, unpack what really happens behind closed doors when jurors deadlock, including the "Allen charge" judges use to push (but never coerce) a stuck jury toward a verdict. They break down why Florida requires unanimous verdicts, why a mistrial doesn't mean either side "won," and why double jeopardy doesn't stop the state from trying again.

Nearly three decades after Tupac Shakur's murder, a jury finally reached a verdict. Jessica Travis and Rocky dig into how Duane "Keffe D" Davis's own 2019 memoir became the evidence that helped convict him, why there's no statute of limitations on murder in Florida, and the wild constitutional history of the "Son of Sam" law that once tried (and failed) to stop criminals from profiting off their crimes. It's a masterclass in how bragging on the record can be just as damaging as a confession.
