Description
In a follow-up to last week's coverage of Sarah Palin's defamation lawsuit against the New York Times, Jessica and Joe report that the judge tossed Palin's case - but that he also allowed the jury to render a verdict. Neither were particularly favorable to Palin, but the unique close to the trial may complicate the situation down the road after Palin issues a near-inevitable appeal. Will the First Amendment rights of the press remain as robust when Palin's defamation accusation is eventually resolved? Also, this week a 1st Judicial District judge ruled that three members of the Trump Organization, namely the former president Donald Trump and his two eldest children, Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump, must sit for depositions under suspicion of fraudulent business practices. Will they show? And if they do, will they lean on their 5th Amendment protections and not answer questions? Also, in a unique wrap for this week's episode, Jessica gives the absolute latest development of a story on a podcast in a manner that typically happens on live radio - breaking news that former Minnesota police officer Kim Potter was today sentenced to two years for the fatal shooting of Daunte Wright.
