On November 26 Donald Trump has a date with destiny – he’s due in the Stormy Daniels hush money courtroom to hear his sentence, following his conviction by a jury of 34 felony counts.  Does his election win protect him from incarceration?

People assume that a Trump win means dismissal of the federal criminal cases pending against him. But, not so fast! When prosecutors agreed to drop charges against General Michael Flynn, the judge said no! Yes, judges may bring in new prosecutors to keep fighting, if the think “justice” or “public interest” requires it.

—- Is Elon Musk in legal trouble for giving away $1 million a day to boost voter registration? If so, does Taylor Swift’s Kamala endorsement cross the line as well? —- Is Biden’s DOJ going after Musk proof the legal system is being weaponized for political reasons? —- Was SCOTUS’ ruling giving Trump immunity an overreaction to the concerns about weaponization?

Yes, the Menendez brothers were sentenced to life without parole for shot gunning their parents. But their new lawyer Mark Geragos wants them released, saying he hopse to host them at Thanksgiving dinner next month. There’s yet another lawsuit against a baker who refuses to create a cake he disapproves of. The latest entry? The customer wants a birthday cake with an image of Satan, smoking a joint. And, does America have an incarceration problem? Well yeah, we only solve 50% of violent...

What would you pay to pick the brain of a presidential speechwriter who spent countless hours with two of the most consequential leaders of the 20th century, Reagan and Nixon. Well good news, it’s FREE. This week’s episode of Too Many Lawyers features my interview of Ken Khachigian, author of “Behind Closed Doors: In the Room with Reagan and Nixon.

It was a very bad week for rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs – indicted on sex trafficking charges, and denied bail -- he'll be locked up for a year or more awaiting trial. The judge may have worried Diddy would ride his Gulfstream to Switzerland, and become Roman Polanski's roommate. And, is TikTok about to lose a court battle, meaning it’ll be kicked out of America?

A high school class takes a field trip to court, and little Cindy winds up in cuffs and a jump suit – seems she talked back to the judge when he scolded her for dozing off. Will his honor be looking for a job as a bailiff? Plus: --- Should cops be allowed to use AI to write their police reports – even though, sometimes, Chat GPT hallucinates? --- And, how cranky are the Dems, now that a judge has kicked Trump's Stormy sentencing date to Thanksgiving?. So much for Kamala's ads...

The rumors are true! The podcast "Too Many Lawyers" will continue, but when we go video and invite guests to play pool, the show becomes "Lawyers With Balls." Watch for Larry Wilmore and others in the coming weeks. Meantime, inquiring minds want to know: Will Donald Trump be sentenced to prison on September 18? Don't laugh – the judge is not a fan, who's on record saying "I don't want to hear about your day job – I'm here to dispense justice!" Plus, have you seen Dennis Quaid's new biopic,...

Super-lawyer Tom Girardi, on trial for fraud, claimed dementia as a defense. Should he have testified, sounding at times articulate and amusing? And, has a NYT columnist lost her mind? She thinks it's great the DMV has lousy service because it's the only time privileged white people get to encounter women of color.

Should UCLA have allowed the maintenance of a “Jew-free zone” on campus during pro-Palestinian protests? Well no – duh – but why did it take an order by a furious federal judge to shut down the racist encampment? And, should drug dealers – like the one who allegedly killed Friends star Matthew Perry – be charged with murder?

Yes, the Supreme Court told the D.C. trial court judge to sort out the allegations against Trump – were they official duties, giving him immunity from prosecution? Well the judge may have a joker up her sleeve – a mini-trial, to answer SCOTUS’ question, may achieve the Democrats’ dream of one more pre-election trial for Trump.

Believe it or not, California’s progressive governor, Gavin Newsom, wants to lock up the crazy people. He calls it “involuntary conservatorship,” and he’s shocking his liberal pals. But, unless something’s done about California’s burgeoning tent city homeless population, well, it doesn’t look good on the governor’s resume. He’s looking to build shelters to accommodate 10,000 Californians who have a tenous grip on reality. Advocates for the homeless vow to flood the courts with lawsuits.

Back in the day, you rack up a jillion dollars in debt, then whoosh – it's gone with a bankruptcy filing. Not so much now:      --- Johnson & Johnson thought they'd get rid of 61,000 claims that their talc products contain asbestos and cause cancer – the bankruptcy judge said, "Nice try."      --- The Supreme Court rejected the Sacker family's attempt to win immunity from suits through its company's bankuptcy.      --- Rudy Giuliani tried to get out from under a $148 million defamation...

Dems are giddy over their chances with Biden out of the way. If there's a blue wave in November, what's next for the Supreme Court? --- Will Congress limit the types of cases SCOTUS may consider? (Yes, they can do that!) --- Will we see age limits, term limits and an expansion of the size of the Court – maybe including 3 new progressives appointed by President Harris? --- Will a President Harris be permitted to add 3 or 5 progressives to the Court?

Could the last week have been any bigger? We probe the shocking collapse of the manslaughter case against Alec Baldwin. Will a Trump appointee’s tossing of the Mar-A-Lago documents case hold up on appeal?

--- Will Democrats try to dump Biden based on the 25th Amendment, a path to taking the car keys away from an incompetent president? --- What about the convention – if Biden hangs in, must his primary delegates vote for him? --- And, can Dems freaking out over Kamala’s chances really get away with leapfrogging over the VP?

History was made this week: Never before has the Supreme Court decided an ex-president may be criminally prosecuted, at least for SOMETHING. And never before has a presidential debater admitted, “I almost fell asleep right there on the stage!

OJ Simpson’s low-speed chase was 30 years ago this week. I sit down with my radio colleagues who covered the trial, Steve Kindred and Ken Jeffries, for a look back. Will “cameras in the courtroom” ever recover from the OJ trial? And was OJ’s 9-year Vegas sentence payback for the murder jury letting him off?

One Hunter Biden juror is spilling the beans: They felt sorry for him, they’re rooting for probation not jail -- but when Hunter’s daughter testified, admitting she and her dad swapped texts about him visiting his drug dealer the day after the gun purchase, the guilty verdict was sealed. And: Will Trump get jail time?

Awkward moment at the Hunter Biden Delaware gun trial – his wife screamed at a Trump adviser in the hallway, “You don’t belong here you Nazi piece of S” – only she didn’t say “S”. Plus, the GOP mantra in the Stormy Daniels trial was heard in Delaware: “But for his last name, these charges never would have been brought”

The hush money trial jury hit the ground running, immediately asking for testimony readbacks. If Trump’s convicted, his lawyers may say hey, prosecutors argued the public deserves to know the outcome before the election. Does that apply to an appeal as well?

The Stormy case will soon be in the jurors’ hands. Inquiring minds want to know: Was Michael Cohen so devastatingly bad on the stand he blew up the DA’s case? Why didn’t Trump testify? And you heard it here first: If the jury is hung, will the judge book a second trial before the November election?

Should Ivy League Palestine protesters lose their fancy Wall Street jobs? And, will Biden and Trump really get together on the debate stage?

It’s an all “Guess the Verdict” episode, with one wacky lawsuit after another. May a city sue a professional clown for feeding expired parking meters? A guy wins five grand by sending a nude photo of his ex to an adult magazine’s “Girl Next Door” contest – is he in trouble?
