OA52: Thomas Knows Words! Thomas Has The Best Words!
In today's episode, we look at some legal terms that our patrons asked us to define. \xa0In a twist, however, the guys switch chairs and Andrew asks the questions while Thomas tries to offer legal definitions. \xa0How did that work out? \xa0 Listen and find out! We begin, however, with a listener question from Rachel Doty, who -- in keeping with this episode's theme -- asks us to define "Alford plea." Then, based on a suggestion from patron Marie Kent, we ask Thomas to define as many legal terms as he can in half an hour. \xa0We think this would make an awesome game show, so if any of our listeners are TV producers, please give us a call. Next, we take a look at a listener who recommended a Facebook post from an immigration attorney, and the guys discuss the concept of "illegal" immigration. Finally, we end with a brand new Thomas Takes the Bar Exam question #15 that asks whether eyewitness testimony can be tainted by viewing the suspect in police custody. \xa0Remember that TTTBE issues\xa0a new question every\xa0Friday, followed by the answer on next Tuesday's show. \xa0Don't forget to play along by following\xa0our Twitter feed (@Openargs) and/or our Facebook Page and quoting the Tweet or Facebook Post that announces this episode along with your guess and reason(s)! Recent Appearances: None. \xa0Have us on your podcast, radio or TV show, or interview us! Show Notes & Links
