Happy New Year! (Episode 98)

1 hour 4 minutes

Join us this week for a belated celebration of the new year! We’ve got a surprise denial of qualified immunity in the Fourth Circuit, Alabama cops shooting a woman while they were searching for a guy who was already in jail, a truly crazy story of police abuse in Oregon, and a Pennsylvania judge excoriating officers who lied on the stand during a trial involving a viral arrest video!

*THANK YOU* to this week’s Show Note Sponsors (Anon, Trey Benfield, Chris Hairston, Colleen Mahaney, and Rob Simmons) and our #Law140 Lovers (Lindsey Bowser, Erica Phillips, Helen Poston, Joe Sevits, and Michael VanOrder)!
