What Next: Stormy Daniels Takes the Stand

Guest: Jeremy Stahl, Slate’s jurisprudence editor.

Punishing A Shooter’s Parents Misses The Point
On today’s episode of Hear Me Out: prosecuting parents.
Ethan Crumbley’s parents didn’t pull the trigger that killed 4 students in 2021 — but they’ve been sentenced to prison time for it all the same.
School shootings are devastatingly common in this country, but punishing the parents of the killer is a new tactic of handling the aftermath. Even if you think the Crumbleys were bad parents, though, the questions should be posed: why are we punishing them under the law? And is this the best way to address, or even prevent, mass tragedies?
Professor, writer, and legal contributor for ABC News Kim Wehle joins us to urge for a look at the bigger picture.

Customer Reviews
The best pod on President Manbaby
The four-six minutes of each episode that is not commercials is usually pretty good. The best in-depth podcast on the disastrous presidency of Mango Mussolini.
Echo room
If you are wondering how conspiracy theories arise, this is one school example. The program worked professionally and one believes that this is really fact-based. then one more critical listener will eventually hear that one is only talking about what if and maybe. virtually no facts are discussed, one takes a really insignificant and everyday occurrence in the world and with a variety, what if and maybe, one makes it a giant thing. Quite the same as one sees, for example, the UFO hunters make amazing stories of pyramids and other ancient sites.
Bra og morsom på en tragisk måte
En god kilde til nyheter om alt som er Trump. I blant skinner det gjennom at de kanskje er litt for glad i nyliberalisme. Hør episoden med Naomi Klein "The Trump Brand and the Conversation That Isn’t Happening on the Left". Episoden om Antifa er også veldig god.
