Ep. 320: The Secret Meeting That Could Unravel A Murder Case
A secret conversation held in an empty courtroom has raised ethics questions for a judge, his clerk and a local attorney. And it may lead to a manslaughter conviction being tossed. On this week\u2019s episode of Pro Say we\u2019re joined by Marco Poggio who fills us in on this twisty legal drama. Elsewhere this week, the Israel/Palestine conflict reverberates into the U.S. legal system, as BigLaw shops rescind job offers to students for voicing solidarity with Gaza and the government is hit with a lawsuit challenging its refugee policy. We\u2019ll also discuss the Baltimore archdiocese\u2019 move to seek bankruptcy protection, and what it means for sex abuse victims that thought they had a green light for suing the church. Finally, we look at an Oklahoma judge under fire for a range of improper texts with her bailiff, which mocked the appearances of attorneys and witnesses during a murder trial\u2026AS the trial was underway.
