Jessa and Nick introduce the case about the death of Dianne Whipple and talk about creative prosecutions. 

We're talking cases of first impression and questions about floor mats, castle law, and jury instructions! Let's get into it!

Jessa and Nick -- hot off the presses -- open up the discussion about off-duty officer Amber Guyger's homicide trial & sentencing.  Shout out to Lisa Strawn for a major assist on our audio.  Lisa is the genius behind the True Crime Podcast Festival -- check out https://tcpf2019.com/ for more info. We'll be live there next summer!

A friend of the show has invaded our feed to share what we believe will be interesting to our listeners -- a spirited discussion by smart people who disagree about something.  Check out the Challenging Opinions podcast for regular logical/intellectual/political/philosophical duels between thoughtful, nuanced narrators that respect each other but do not agree. 

Clemency, forgiveness, and juvenile justice. 

Nick and Jessa talk about executive clemency in the context of the Montanez case. 

Jessa and Nick continue talking about what the hell a "youth officer" does.

**AUDIO QUALITY ISSUE/MALFUNCTION THIS AND THE NEXT EPISODE. WE APOLOGIZE IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS AND WILL ADDRESS.***Nick and Jessa talk about Epstein's suicide, jail supervision of inmates, the fate of the pending civil litigation, and more!

A listener asked if we could explain hearsay in a "simple" way.  This is our total failure at attempting to do that. 

Jessa and Nick are joined by two kick-ass doctors, Shiloh and Scott, to discuss the Mary Kay Letourneau case.  In this episode, you'll get the facts and some of the legal quirks.  In the next episode, which you'll find on L.A. Not So Confidential's feed next week, will talk to you about the psychology behind female sex offending, gender issues in criminal cases, and much more! 

Nick and Jessa talk about the government's response brief in re: remedies for victim rights violations committed in the execution of the NPA for Epstein back in 2007. 

Jessa and Nick discuss the brief filed requesting remedies for the victims that were not notified of the entry of the NPA in the Epstein case back in 2008. 

Nick and Jessa talk about the civil CVRA decision and the concept of remedies for the crime victims that were misled about the existence of an NPA in the Southern District of Florida in re: Epstein.
