Derek Chauvin CONVICTED for the Murder of George Floyd
On Episode 5 of Legal AF, MeidasTouch\u2019s weekly law and politics podcast, Legal AF, hosts MT founder and civil rights lawyer Ben Meiselas and national trial lawyer and strategist, Michael Popok, analyze the jury\u2019s verdict to convict Chauvin on all 3 counts for the murder of George Floyd, and with special guest criminal defense lawyer Alexandra Kazarian, discuss Minnesota\u2019s sentencing guidelines and predict the length of Chauvin\u2019s sentence. Next up, the \u201cAnalysis Friends\u201d take a deep dive into Liberty University\u2019s suit against Jerry Falwell, Jr. to claw back the $10 million it paid him because he failed to disclose that he, his wife, and a Miami Beach pool attendant (you can\u2019t make this stuff up), were having a threesome.\xa0Returning to the world of criminals, the Legal AF dynamic duo (and with apologies to the Sopranos) tackle the recent inadvertent disclosure by the Justice Department that it had reached its first plea deal with an \u201cOathkeeper\u201d who attacked the Capitol on January 6th, who in return for turning in his friends and cohorts, won an all-expense paid trip to 3 years in jail and the witness protection program. To round out the episode, Ben and Michael learn to \u201ccount to 5\u201d and take a hard look at SCOTUS\u2019s 2010 Citizens United decision allowing for unlimited corporate and PAC money to flood our election system under the First Amendment, and whether there are 5 votes on the current Court willing to allow donations to be made in secret in the new Koch Brothers-backed suit, Americans for Prosperity Foundation v. Rodriguez. Special \u201ceaster egg\u201d alert: Ben uses the word \u201csperm\u201d in the context of our high-brow Supreme Court analysis and Michael takes the bait!\nLearn more about your ad choices.
