    ARE COMBS’ ACCUSERS GILDING THE LILY?

    In the Sean Combs sex trafficking trial, his accusers have given graphic, potentially devastating testimony about rapes and beatings.  But the cross-examination brought out evidence the victims praised him for years after the alleged abuse, then made charges to back up lawsuits yielding multi-million dollar settlements.  Who will the jury believe?

    NO, VIRGINIA, THERE IS NO CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS

    There’s a lot of hand-wringing going on over the idea Donald Trump’s response to some federal court orders has put us in a soup called “constitutional crisis.”  Well the soup may soon be heated up and served, but so far it’s still in Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s can.  Trump hasn’t spit in the eye of a judge yet, he’s more or less playing by the rules.  If he gets a “NO” from SCOTUS in a case and ignores them, yes, we’ll be in hot water (and Trump will probably in a trifecta – three impeachments! – and this time might be convicted).  But not yet, so everybody should take a chill pill.

    MARCIA CLARK LOOKS BACK AT THE OJ SIMPSON MURDER TRIAL

    The “trial of the century” resulted in “the worst jury verdict of the century.”  How did it happen?  What better source to consult than Marcia Clark, the lead prosecutor.  Why did a downtown LA jury vote for OJ?  And, did the DA’s office blow the case by insisting that the trial be held in downtown LA, instead of a courthouse in West LA, where the crime occurred?  Clark’s answers may shock you.

Simpson’s murder case.  How did a guy facing overwhelming evidence of guilt beat the rap?   In this report you’ll learn how the Los Angeles County DA had a sure win if he’d just chosen to try the case in West Los Angeles, where the crime occurred.   Instead, overconfidence and a desire for a conviction by a diverse jury led the DA to commit a colossal blunder.

    SHOULD WE DUMP ANTI-NUDITY LAWS?

    Gloria Allread is back, and – shocker – she’s angry! Her client was bounced off a Delta flight for trying to soar braless.    Gloria’s got us thinking:  Why are guys the only ones can stroll around topless in public?   San Francisco has experimented with dropping its anti-nudity ordinance – should we give that a try?  Or should we just face facts, our society considers women’s breasts to be sex objects – manboobs, not so much.
