Is it a crime?!
Hour 1 – We are from the Government; We are Here to Help…But We Really Don’t Know What We Are Doing.Special Guest the Hon. Steve Petska, recently retired from the Kent County Circuit Court bench, joins The Lawyers in studio to compare his experience as a member of the Michigan House of Representatives with his experience as a Family Court Judge. Curt Benson & Mike Dunn question Judge Petska about the difference between writing laws versus enforcing them. In this episode, we don’t complain about politics, Judge Petska, Curt and Mike dismantle the legislative and Judicial process, piece by piece, with this in-depth personal analysis.
We answer a listener’s question about do-it-yourself litigation. We also update earler stories of Susan Atkins, the Charles Manson “family” memeber, who has served more time in prison than any other woman in California, as well as the Kentucky High School football Coach who was charged with manslaughter after one of his players died of heatstroke during practice in 2008.
Hour 2 – Yes it’s Gross, But is it A Crime?
Professor Curt Benson & Attorney Mike Dunn talk about the disturbing news story of daughter McKenzie and her biological father John Philips alleged decade-long incestuous relationship. Disgusting for sure, but is it a felony? The Professor and The Barrister discuss the legalities of the incest statute in Michigan. They discover some extremely interesting things that actually may apply to you if you’re married or in a mixed marriage family.
And finally, Mike dazzles us with sizzling legal news and Professor Benson bores us silly with useless knowledge.
