    Recently the term “Allen Charge” was used during the last day of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts v. Karen Read trial. I thought of using this episode to describe and explain its origins and application. It is based on the Supreme Court decision in Allen v. United States (1896).

  • NM v. Alec Baldwin

    NM v. Alec Baldwin
    Jul 12 2024
    On October 21, 2021 in Santa Fe County New Mexico, on the scene of the filming of a western entitled Rust, actor and Director Alec Baldwin fired a round from a 45 caliber revolver that he assumed was a blank. It was not. To his horror it was a live bullet that struck videographer Helena Hutchins in the chest, passing through her body and wounding Director Joel Souza, who is standing behind her. In this episode listeners will have an overview of the criminal trial, which is currently in its third day as Baldwin stands accused of involuntary manslaughter. The possible sentence of 18 months incarceration loom ahead.
