  • 'If You Can Keep It': Trump, The Supreme Court, And Immunity

    'If You Can Keep It': Trump, The Supreme Court, And Immunity
    Apr 29 2024
    Last Thursday, the Justices heard arguments in a case all about presidential immunity. At the heart of the case is whether former President Donald Trump is immune from charges related to conspiring to overturn the 2020 election.

    The case is a first for the Supreme Court that could impact not only former president Trump but all future presidents, as stated by Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

    And the timing is just as significant as the outcome with the November election just six months away.

    We discuss the case and the impact the outcome could have.

  • The Psychology Of Jury Selection

    The Psychology Of Jury Selection
    Apr 25 2024
    It's a right guaranteed not once, but twice in our constitution – a trial by jury. And many of us are asked to serve on them, whether we want to or not.

    Whether jury duty is a responsibility you dread or relish, the trial of former President Trump in Manhattan put the spotlight on the jury selection process – one that happens every day in courthouses across the country.

    We speak with legal experts about the role juries play in our justice system – and the psychology of jury selection.

    We also hear from someone who's served on a jury for another high-profile case.
