Crimelaw with Steven N. Gosney

Come over to talk for a few minutes. Here are the links to the GiveSendGo campaign to My Difficult Dog https://www.givesendgo.com/GBDS7 And the limiited edition hardcovers of Prepare! and Ideas & Answers In Law https://stevegosney.com/

Mr. Andrew Branca invited me on his show to discuss the confrontation between two homeless folks on a subway platform in Philly. The scuffle, which was caught on cell phone video, resulted in the death of one of the men. We discuss how we would defend the survivor. Lots of rabbit holes are explored! Note that this is an initial reaction and issue spotting exercise, which happens all the time in a public defender's office. Not all of the issues raised would pan out, but you need to think about the case objectively without jumping to conclusions. Here are the links to the GiveSendGo campaign to My Difficult Dog https://www.givesendgo.com/GBDS7 And the limiited edition hardcovers of Prepare! and Ideas & Answers In Law https://stevegosney.com/ From Andrew's description: Two men, one much larger than the other, get into a physical confrontation on a Philadelphia subway platform, with the larger man holding the smaller against a support column. Suddenly the smaller man--now identified as Chaz Wearing--throws a punch, then another, sending the larger man staggering off the platform and onto the tracks--seconds before subway car enters the station and runs over the fallen man with fatal results. Was this death lawful self-defense on the part of Wearing? Was it a genuine accident? Was it involuntary manslaughter--the criminal charge that has since been brought against Wearing?

Short little livestream to update you on my internet hiatus and to discuss a little Christmas! My Difficult Dog gofundme ... https://www.givesendgo.com/GBDS7

Dr. Steven F. Hayward, conservative crusader, and all around great guy joins me to discuss Peter Gabriel era Genesis album rankings. Before my announced sabbatical, I had invited on Dr. Hayward to talk music, and I wish to honor that commitment. Unexpectedly, he is also taking a sabbatical from his writings at powerlineblog.com. He writes about that decision (and I completely understand where he is coming from) here: https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2023/12/time-for-a-sabbatical.php Professor Hayward is moving from his position at UC Berkeley to teach at Pepperdine School of Public Policy as the Edward L. Gaylord Visiting Professor of Public Policy. Dr. Hayward is the author of a two-volume narrative history of Ronald Reagan and his effect on American political life, The Age of Reagan: The Fall of the Old Liberal Order, 1964-1980, and The Age of Reagan: The Conservative Counter-Revolution, 1980-1989. His other books include Index of Leading Environmental Indicators; The Almanac of Environmental Trends; Mere Environmentalism: A Biblical Perspective on Humans and the Natural World, Churchill on Leadership; Greatness: Reagan, Churchill, and the Making of Extraordinary Leaders; Patriotism Is Not Enough; and M. Stanton Evans: Conservative Wit, Apostle of Freedom. But best of all, Steven is an avid prog rock fan. And although I delve into King Crimson, Yes, Genesis, ELP, Rush, and Pink Floyd, only a true prog fan (such as Steve) can actually enjoy a tune from Gentle Giant or Renaissance. Thus, he is the perfect choice to help me sort through the early Genesis catalog.
