    The Body

    A quiet neighborhood. A body under a carport. A jealous husband. And a verdict unlike anything Speedy has ever seen before—or since. In his first-ever murder trial, Speedy takes us inside a case where passion, suspicion, and small-town whispers collide. The victim—rumored to be having an affair with the defendant’s attractive wife who worked at a convenience store—was found shot dead beneath a homeowner’s carport. Witnesses recall seeing two men arguing, one “swinging” at the other, before everything went silent. But when the courtroom dust settled, the jury’s decision left even Speedy stunned. Join him as he unpacks the twists, tension, and unforgettable outcome of The Body—the case that marked the beginning of a career built on fighting for the truth, no matter how strange it gets.

    The Switch

    When an officer crosses the line—and later, the lines of identity—the justice system faces questions it’s never seen before. This true South Carolina case follows a female law enforcement officer charged with grand larceny after keeping a suspect’s revolver following an arrest. But the story doesn’t end there. After jumping bond and moving to Florida, the officer began gender transition and returned to face charges as a man—drawing national attention, even from a Late Show in New York City. Ultimately convicted, this case became one of the first times the SC Department of Corrections had to make accommodations for a transgender inmate—raising unprecedented legal and ethical debates along the way. ⚖️ Tune in to Speedy Law for a story of identity, justice, and the complex human side of the courtroom.

    Is It Justice

    In this jaw-dropping episode of Speedy Law, Speedy takes us deep into one of the wildest cases he’s ever defended—where adrenaline, misunderstanding, and the limits of law enforcement collided right in a client’s front yard. It all started when a man riding his motorcycle was pulled over… in his own yard. Before he could even ask why, the officer jumped out and grabbed him without explanation. Instinct kicked in—Speedy’s client fought off the officer and retreated into his home. But things escalated fast. Armed with a .22 shotgun, he fired a shot at the officer—missed. The officer crawled away, but the client wasn’t done. He smashed the patrol car for good measure. The charge? Assault and battery with intent to kill. The verdict? You'll have to tune in to hear how this one ended! Was it justice… or just chaos in the name of law and order? Speedy breaks it all down—every wild turn, every legal twist—in a case where the line between self-defense and criminal intent gets as blurry as a speeding motorcycle at dusk. Warning: This one’s intense. Hold on tight.

    Praise The Lord

    In this powerful episode of Speedy Law, Speedy recounts a gripping case that shook a small-town courtroom—and tested the faith of an entire congregation. A kind-hearted preacher known for mentoring at-risk youth finds himself at the center of a scandal when one of the boys he brings to church accuses him of inappropriate behavior. As the trial unfolds, the courtroom is packed with church members praying for justice. The judge—perhaps inspired or just needing peace—assigns them their own room to worship while the case proceeds. With reputations on the line and emotions running high, the jury ultimately finds the preacher not guilty. But the story doesn’t end there—after the verdict, jurors raise questions about the steady stream of people moving in and out of the courtroom. Was it just prayer… or something more? Tune in for a story of faith, false accusations, and the unpredictable twists of courtroom drama. Disclaimer: Not every legal battle is what it seems. Speedy tells it like it is—truth, testimony, and a little legal chaos
