After several steps in this strange case, the Judge wiped the debt offthe books - the couple is free and clear!

Spooktacular Show | Professor Curt Benson and Attorney Mike Dunn discuss the still unsolved case of Jack the Ripper, the mad man who, in 1888, tore his way through the foggy London streets brutally (but skillfully) slicing up at least five women within a square mile area near the districts of Whitechapel, Spitalfields, Aldgate, and the City of London proper. Our spooky journey continues. We cross the big pond to America and explore the infamous Salem Witch Trials. This was a bleak and mysterious spot in our history as witching hysteria overcame a small town in Massachusetts in the 1690's. Wait until you here about "spectral evidence." We discuss Lizzy Borden. She was acquitted in 1893 of killing her parents because she was a girl. Curt and Mike explain how this case is still significant. We also consider the 1962 - 1964 case of the Boston Strangler, and why that case is still so puzzling. The Lawyers have an update on a sad news story they discussed at length in January of 2007. The Sacramento radio station, KDND, as part of its "Morning Rave" program, held an on-air contest--"Hold Your Wee for a Wii." The person who drank the most water without urinating would win a Nintendo Wii video game console. Twenty-eight year old Jennifer Lea Strange really wanted to win the game for her two kids. She died as a result. The technical term is hyponatremia, otherwise known as water intoxication. Her family sued the radio station and a jury returned a verdict of $16 frac12; million. The Lawyers discuss it. | 11/1/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

We scatter our legal feelers over the landscape & have highlighted the best legal issues in this edition of Cooley Law Schools | This week, Curt Benson and Mike Dunn discuss the HAPPY Act aka the Humanity and Pets Partnered Through the Years. a piece of legislation proposed by U.S. Rep. Thaddeus McCotter, R-Mich. that would grant every household in the land a $3,500 tax deduction for "qualified pet care expenses." The Lawyers discuss the legal ramifications in pet ownership. So exactly how do you prove that Fido is your beloved friend to the end? Or is he really just a junkyard dog you took a picture of in order to get the tax credit? Parenthetically, Fido is little more than another piece of the furniture in the eyes of the law. The Lawyers will also dismantle the antics of Balloon Boy, Falcon Heene, the 6-yr-old who was thought to have floated away in the family's giant Mylar balloon. Richard Heene, the boys' father has been accused of creating the story and using his son as a publicity stunt after the boy made an odd confession on CNN's "Larry King Live" on Thursday night. Heene asked Falcon why he had not come out from hiding when his parents were calling for him. "You guys said we did this for the show," the boy said. What are the legal ramifications when children are used for fame and publicity by their parents? Speaking of kids, 6-yr-old Zach Chrisite has been reinstated after national media attention forced his 45-day suspension in reform school ruling to be thrown out by the local school board. Zach brought a camping knife and spoon set to school #38; his school has a zero tolerance policy on such behavior, even for 6 yr-olds. The Lawyers discuss the semantics of school rules. Curt and Mike discuss Rush Limbaugh's grounds for a libel suit as his bid for a National Football league team were allegedly sacked because of quotes he purportedly made regarding slavery. What are his chances and would he do it? The Lawyers sound off as to why he may file such a lawsuit and what constitute libel #38; slander. We also look into the suspicious deaths of three people who participated in a sweat lodge in Arizona. Although three people died unexpectedly, but there may be no law to prosecute the person who ran the sweat lodge, Curt and Mike explain.

Painting the Town & the Supreme Court | Hour 1: Painting the Town ...LAW We packed up the big show and moved a total of three blocks south; yes, we went on location to the hallowed halls of Cooley Law School to eat free food...NO! We went ldquo;on locationrdquo; to the Cooley Law School semi-annual Open House. While t here, we spoke to Cooley faculty, staff and students, as well as the hundreds of visitors touring the school. Professor Curt Benson #38; Attorney Mike Dunn spoke with newly graduated Josh Falsing, a new Cooley Alumni who blazed his own trail by ldquo;hanging out a shingle.rdquo; He shares his comedic trials #38; tribulations as an eager, but wholly inexperienced attorney. Then Heather Spielmaker, Director for the Center for Ethics, Service, and Professionalism at Cooley Law School joins us to talk about several programs that Cooley offers, including Service to Soldiers, a program where the Law School offers free legal services to the brave men and women of the Armed Forces. Heather discloses the value, in dollars, of Cooleyrsquo;s pro bono programs exceed $25 million. Assistant Dean Tracey Brame joins us to talk about Teen Court that Cooley Law School has brought to the Grand Rapids Campus, an alternative juvenile sentencing program that adjudicates justice to teens by teens. Assistant Dean Brame explains how the system works and how the Law School is promoting the program throughout Michigan. Assistant Professor Victoria V. Vuletich joins us to describe the array of practice areas available to lawyers. Hour 2: So So's Lounge gets time in the Supreme Court! The Honorable Jane Markey, judge of the Michigan Court of Appeals, joins The Lawyers in studio to discuss a Grand Rapids murder case that has wended its way to the United States Supreme Court. Judge Markey penned the decision that held the defendantrsquo;s Constitutional rights were violated, a decision later reversed by the Michigan Supreme Court. So who was right? Is it Judge Markey or the Michigan Supreme Court? The United States Supreme Court, the final arbiter, will decide. The Lawyers ask Judge Markey how she feels about the prospect of nine Justices of the Supreme Court analyzing the correctness of her legal reasoning. (She acts calm and judicio us, but The Lawyers can tell shersquo;s freaked out.) Professor Benson and Attorney Dunn also review the big cases the Supreme Court will decide this term. And Professor Benson has a prediction: Will a Justice retire this term? You may be surprised at the answer.

Is it a crime?! | Hour 1 - We are from the Government; We are Here to Help...But We Really Donrsquo;t Know What We Are Doing. Special Guest the Hon. Steve Petska, recently retired from the Kent County Circuit Court bench, joins The Lawyers in studio to compare his experience as a member of the Michigan House of Representatives with his experience as a Family Court Judge. Curt Benson #38; Mike Dunn question Judge Petska about the difference between writing laws versus enforcing them. In this episode, we don't complain about politics, Judge Petska, Curt and Mike dismantle the legislative and Judicial process, piece by piece, with this in-depth personal analysis. We answer a listener's question about do-it-yourself litigation. We alsonbsp;update earler stories ofnbsp;Susan Atkins, the Charles Manson "family" memeber,nbsp;who has served more time in prison than any other woman in California, as well as the Kentucky High School football Coach who was charged with manslaughter after one of his players died of heatstroke during practice in 2008. Hour 2 - Yes itrsquo;s Gross, But is it A Crime? Professor Curt Benson #38; Attorney Mike Dunn talk about the disturbing news story of daughter McKenzie and her biological father John Philips alleged decade-long incestuous relationship. Disgusting for sure, but is it a felony? The Professor and The Barrister discuss the legalities of the incest statute in Michigan. They discover some extremely interesting things that actually may apply to you if yoursquo;re married or in a mixed marriage family. And finally, Mike dazzles us with sizzling legal news and Professor Benson bores us silly with useless knowledge.

“Manson Family” and Gay Rights | Hour Number 1 Susan Atkins wants out of prison. One of the infamous ldquo;Manson Familyrdquo; members, in 1969, Atkins joined other members of the Family in breaking into a home and ritualistically murdering five helpless people. The next night, they killed two more innocent people. Today, 38 years after her crime, Atkins has brain cancer. She has lost a leg. She is paralyzed in 80% of her body and cannot feed herself or even sit up in a wheelchair. Mercy vs. Retribution, Compassion vs. Justice, what should California do with Susan Atkins? Curt and Mike discuss this compelling question. Hour number 2 Ted Olsen, one of the nationrsquo;s most prominent conservative lawyers, has joined forces with a Democratic colleague to challenge, in federal court, Californiarsquo;s recent amendment to its Constitution banning same sex marriages. Olsen hopes to get the case to the Supreme Court for a definitive ruling. Curt and Mike discuss why Gay Rights groups, while thankful to have a conservative ally, are less than thrilled with Olsenrsquo;s decision. | 6/10/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

PT 1. Sotomayor and Gitmo -&- PT.2 Cancer and Hoaxing | Hour 1 Curt and Mike Discuss President Obamarsquo;s nomination to fill the Supreme Court vacancy created by retiring Justice David Souter, 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Sotomayor. The guys tackle lsquo;judicial activismrdquo; and how each party has a different take on the code words used for liberal or conservative. Hour 2 The Lawyers discuss 2 unusual cases relating to children and the law. First, they discuss a 13 year old from Minnesota who did not want to have chemotherapy for his 90% curable cancer. The Court ordered the medical treatment and off the mom and son went. The mom was charged with medical neglect and returned to the state where her son is now safely having the necessary medical treatment. Fake kidnapping seems to bring you nothing more that a charge of ldquo;Filing a False Police Reportrdquo; if you are the custodial parent of a child. Bonnie Sweeten called in the kidnapping of herself and 9-year-old daughter, Julia. Turns out, she simply took her to Disney World. Listen to the tape of her friend sticking up for her as being ldquo;organized as a momrdquo;. Apparently, organized people do not commit crimes. Or, Maybe, organization is a defense to the crime! I think the authorities also want to talk to her about $300,000 of missing money from an employer. Can you say: Last Hurrah! Next, listen to what happens to a disorganized criminal!!!!!!!!! | 5/31/09 | Free | View In iTunes |
