    31: The Children: Alone In America

    (WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) In America, unaccompanied children are forced to represent themselves in immigration court. That's right. Children as young as infants to teenagers. Each year, thousands of immigrant children are placed into court proceedings in which government prosecutors seek to deport them unless those children can prove they have a right to stay in the United States. While the U.S. government may provide pillows and booster seats for children who are too small for the chairs in immigration court, the government does NOT have to give them an attorney to protect their rights. In this episode, Reb tells these children's stories and interviews attorneys Amanda Doroshow and Lauren Esterle with the Acacia Center for Justice who have firsthand experience advocating for these children both inside the courtroom and beyond. LINKS TO RESOURCES AND FELLOWSHIP OPPORTUNITIES: https://acaciajustice.org/ https://acaciajustice.org/careers/students/ https://justicecorps.org/justice-fellowship/ Thank you to the Acacia Center for Justice, Amanda Doroshow, and Lauren Esterle for making this episode a reality.

    30: Skin The Judge Alive?!

    28: The Jury Is On Drugs, Your Honor

    (WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) What do you call a 6-week period in which you and a handful of very recent acquaintances get drunk every day at lunch, sleep through the afternoons, sell weed to each other, smoke weed with each other, and whip out a few bags of cocaine to snort when the time feels right? For a group of twelve people in Florida in 1987, they would call it jury duty. That’s right. Since 1987, jury misconduct stories only got crazier and crazier...including one where a jury convicted a man of double homicide by breaking out a Ouija board and asking the victims' ghosts. Yep. Reb tops off a martini and hosts a seance in Tanner v. United States (1987). *** 0:00 - Intro 2:17 - Facts of Tanner v.

    (WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) In the early hours of Saturday, May 15, 2010, Kalief Browder and a friend were returning home from a party in the Belmont section of the Bronx. He was 16 years old. Browder saw a police car driving toward them. More squad cars arrived, and soon Browder and his friend were squinting in the glare of a police spotlight. An officer said they had robbed a man. “I didn’t rob anybody,” Browder replied. “You can check my pockets.” . . . Reb shares the cases of Kalief Browder and Inmate H, and thousands of other children and adults held in pretrial detention in the United States without ever being convicted of a crime.

    24: Stand Your Ground

    (WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) Since Biblical times, self defense has been simple. Guard your castle. Retreat to the wall. Defend yourself. The U.S. stole its common law from the English, and the elements of self defense didn't change. Until.......Florida.
