    Ep. 27 - Panic, Pressure, and Plea Deals: When Innocent People Look Guilty

    In this episode of Come Back With A Warrant, Monica and Brandon unpack a hard truth:Innocent people run. Innocent people confess. Innocent people plead guilty.Not because they’re criminals — but because fear, trauma, and pressure make people deeply, painfully human.This is a conversation about psychology, survival instinct, and a system that often punishes people for how they react when they’re scared.                                                                      Leave us a 5 Star Review!

    Ep. 26 - Sentencing in Florida: Same Crime, Different Time

    Florida sentencing is a world where your future is determined by math, multipliers, and a spreadsheet that can send you to prison based on points you didn’t even know you had. Two people can commit the same crime — and walk away with wildly different outcomes.In this episode, Monica and Brandon break down how sentencing really works in Florida:why the score sheet matters so much, how enhancements can double or triple your sentence, and when judges actually have the power to show mercy.If you’ve ever wondered why someone got probation while someone else got years, this episode is for you.                                                                                                  Leave us a 5 Star Review!

    Ep. 25 - Stand Your Ground: When Force Is Actually Justified in Florida

    Florida’s self-defense laws are famous, controversial, and wildly misunderstood. “Stand Your Ground” gets thrown around in arguments, news stories, and viral videos — but very few people actually understand what the law does and does not protect.In this episode, Monica and Brandon dig into the reality behind the headlines:What counts as reasonable fear?When is deadly force legal?How does race change the way these laws are applied?And why do so many people think Stand Your Ground is a permission slip for violence?If you live in Florida (or just watch Florida in the news), this is the deep dive you didn’t know you needed.                                                                                             Leave us a 5 Star Review!

    Ep. 23 - Crimmigration 101: ICE Holds, Deportation Risks & Real Stories with Isai Bonilla

    In this powerful and eye-opening episode, Monica and Brandon sit down with attorney Isai Bonilla, a criminal defense and immigration lawyer who lives and works every day at the intersection of two systems most people never see collide—until they’re in the middle of it.Crimmigration — the overlap of criminal charges and immigration consequences — is one of the most misunderstood and explosive areas of law in the country. And right now, especially in Florida, the stakes are higher than ever.Isai breaks down what really happens when someone without status (or with pending status) is arrested, why ICE holds appear, how quickly things can escalate, and the devastating reality that even winning your criminal case doesn’t mean your immigration fight is over.                                                                                                                                                                                                         Contact Isai Bonilla for your crimmigration needs:                                                                                                                                   📺 YouTube:  @ComeBackWithAWarrant.Podcast📸 Instagram:  @ComeBackWithAWarrant.Pod🎵 TikTok: @ComeBackWithAWarrant.Pod                                                                                             Find us everywhere and join the conversation!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Subscribe to our newsletter for episode guides and latest pod updates:

    Ep. 21 - Use of Force, Abuse of Force & What the Law Actually Says
