Trumps Sentencing Delay Sucks but Is Probably the Right Call
OA1068
We begin with a quick review of some of the stranger legal issues raised in this week\u2019s Presidential debate, including such mysteries as whether it is legal to murder babies upon delivery and the factual guilt of the Central Park Five 22 years after they were exonerated by DNA evidence and a third-party confession. In our main story, we review the chaos that the Supreme Court\u2019s legalization of Presidential crime is already causing in Donald Trump\u2019s hush-money case and discuss the relative merits of pushing his sentencing back until after the November election. Finally, Matt drops a footnote to explain an overlooked legal story in this week\u2019s news involving a remarkably rare grant of a common defense motion.
