On Wednesday I published the video of my legal analysis of the Sonya Massey shooting, who was shot and killed by Deputy Sean Grayson inside her own apartment earlier this month. Grayson has since been fired and charged with murder and other crimes. In my legal analysis I concluded that the available evidence--in the form of the body worn camera video of Grayson and a second deputy with him at the time--made clear that the shooting of Massey, while tragic, was almost certainly lawful self-defense. This, of course, has led to a tsunami of protesting comments, as my analysis runs counter to the consensus view of this police use-of-force event. In this live stream I will sift through a selected portion of the more substantive comments and questions I've received across social media, and address those with law-based analysis and the actual evidence in the case. I'll also take selected questions and counter-argument from the audience during the live stream. Join me LIVE this Friday, July 26, at Noon ET to become informed!

A white cop shoots a black woman through the head in her own kitchen and is now charged with murder and other felonies.

President Donald Trump was shot by an attempted assassin on Saturday, July 13, a day that exposed a horrific degree of incompetence of both the US Secret Service generally and some of its purportedly elite agents on scene in particular. Exactly how incompetent were some of those agents on scene? In today's show we illustrate exactly their level of incompetence, by contrasting their performance with that of a normal street cop actually in a gun fight.

An Indianapolis driver got very angry with another vehicle, and approached that other in a rage with a gun in hand. Turns out the other vehicle also had a gun, and the day ended poorly for Indianapolis man. Was this shooting an unnecessary murder? Manslaughter? Or could this have been an entirely lawful killing of another human being in the middle of a public roadway? Join me LIVE at 11AM ET to discuss!

This past Saturday a rifle-armed assassin came within millimeters of killing President Donald Trump. Fortunately, the President survived with a flesh wound to his ear. Perhaps even worse, the more we learn about this assassination attempt, and especially the US Secret Service preparations for and response to this threat, the more inexcusable the whole scenario becomes. Join me to discuss how the law of self-defense provides MORE than sufficient perfectly legal options for the US Secrete Service, local law enforcement, and even mere bystanders to have STOPPED this assassin in his tracks, before he was ever able to to fire his first murderous shot.

Today is the first day of the Alec Baldwin involuntary manslaughter trial, over his shooting dead cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the movie set of low-budget western "Rust" on October 21, 2021.

FYI: Turns out the jury selection was NOT live broadcast from court today. At about 58 minutes of today's show I realize that's the case, and I switch to a quick summary of the outcomes of the 22 motions argued in yesterday's pre-trial hearing. _____________________________________________ It begins! Finally! Today the jury will be selected for the manslaughter trial of actor Alec Baldwin, who shot and killed Halyna Hutchins on the movie set of low-budget western "Rust" on October 21, 2021. Baldwin is charged with manslaughter based on the facts that he pointed what he knew to be a real gun directly at Halyna Hutchins, without ensuring it had no live ammo in it, cocked the hammer, and pulled the trigger. In fact, the gun did contain a live round, which fired and killed Hutchins. Trial Judge Sommers has ordered the parties to take no longer than 50 minutes each to arrive at a jury of 12--a very rapid jury selection process for a high-profile trial, so I expect this will be a morning show only, today.

On Saturday July 6th an event called "Freaknik Picnic" held in Brooklyn NYC's Prospect Park (nearly?) almost had a bit of fisticuffs turn into a fatal shooting--and a rather unusual shooting, at that, as it appears to have involved a derringer! With only a very short (~7 second) video clip of the confrontation available, and little news reporting that I was able to find, it's not easy to arrive at any definitively RIGHT ANSWERS about who might have been acting lawfully--or not. What we can do, however, is identify the RIGHT QUESTIONS as a foundation for any legal analysis of this event, and that's what we'll do in today's show. After all, you can hardly expect to ever arrive at right answers if you don't even know the right questions. Join me LIVE at Noon ET to discuss!

Today the Alec Baldwin trial court is holding its FINAL pre-trial hearing of this case, mostly covering requests by the State to exclude various forms of evidence they expect the defense to offer, and which the state believes is irrelevant. It appears that Judge Sommer is allowing only 10 minutes per side on each of these many motions, so things should proceed quickly. Join me LIVE as I play catch-up on these arguments.

The body worn camera for two police shootings were just brought to my attention, and I thought they provided good examples of how police shootings can be straightforward GOOD shoots, as well as how they can be straightforward BAD shoots. In today's show we break down the legal elements that make each of these shooting lawful and unlawful, respectively. Unfortunately, of the two, it was the unlawful shooting that resulted in an unnecessary death. Join me LIVE at 11AM ET on Wednesday, June 26 to discuss!

Yesterday's ~5 hour pre-trial hearing for upcoming #AlecBaldwin manslaughter trial was largely a snooze-fest--but the last ~35 minutes was ABSOLUTE FIRE. So I've carved out that last bit so you can enjoy it without first having to slog through 4.5 hours of defense bloviating. Enjoy!

On October 21, 2021, actor Alec Baldwin, on the set of low-budget Western movie "Rust," pointed what he knew to be a real gun directly at cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, cocked the hammer, depressed the trigger, and fired a fatal bullet into her body. Baldwin is now approaching trial on a charge of involuntary manslaughter. Last week the Baldwin defense team began arguing to the court that the manslaughter indictment should be dismissed WITH PREJUDICE--so that it could never be brought again--on the grounds that the prosecution "destroyed" evidence. The "destroyed" evidence consists of the revolver used by Baldwin to kill Hutchins, which had some small internal parts broken during function testing by the FBI. In today's live stream we complete this argument to the court, hear the State's response, and hopefully get an immediate real-time decision by the judge. Join me LIVE at 4PM ET, with court proceedings on this matter scheduled to begin at 4:30PM ET. THERE IS ONLY ONE SELF-DEFENSE "INSURANCE" PROVIDER I TRUST!

A Chicago man walks into his home and finds a burglar already present. The homeowner grabs a frying pan, and chases the burglar from the home, whacking away at the burglar's noggin. The chase continues outside of the home, into the yard, and ultimately down the sidewalk--at this point accompanied by Chicago PD. Join me to discuss the legal boundaries for the use of a frying pan in self-defense, defense of home, and defense of property! THERE IS ONLY ONE SELF-DEFENSE "INSURANCE" PROVIDER I TRUST!
