Hate Crimes, Hateful Rhetoric, and Racial Bias in Hiring & Redistricting
Anchored by MT founder and civil rights lawyer, Ben Meiselas and national trial lawyer and strategist, Michael Popok, the top-rated news analysis podcast LegalAF x MeidasTouch is back for another hard-hitting, thought-provoking look in “real time” at this week’s developments. On this episode, Ben and Popok discuss:
1. A Federal Court’s rejection of convicted murderer Travis McMichael’s plea deal on federal hate crimes due to Ahmaud Arbery’s family objections, meaning he goes to trial this week facing another life sentence.
2. A black woman being convicted and sentenced to 6 years in prison for trying to vote before her probation was over.
3. NFL coach Brian Flores, one of only 2 NFL Black head coaches, filing a class action suit against the NFL and some of its teams because of its racially-segregated “Plantation”-like system.
4. The Fulton County (GA) District Attorney fighting off racist attacks on her credibility as she moves closer to having a Special Grand Jury gather the evidence she needs to indict Trump for criminal interference in the election process.
5. A Federal Court’s overturning a Texas law preventing state contractors from exercising their First Amendment rights concerning the Israel-Palestinian conflict.
6. The Ghislaine Maxwell Federal Judge deciding whether to unseal the defense’s motion for new trial on the basis that “Juror 50” failed to disclose that he had been a victim of sex abuse in the jury selection process.
7. State Supreme Courts protecting voting rights in redistricting in ways Federal Courts and SCOTUS have refused, giving victories to Democratic voters in Ohio and Pennsylvania so far.
8. Updates to the Jan6 Committee’s work including 3 more key cooperators.
9. Pence’s too little too late admission that Trump was wrong about Pence having the power to overturn an election, and the GQP’s latest Orwellian attempts to refrain the Jan6 Insurrectionist and attempted violent coup, as a mere “legitimate political discourse”
And much more.
