8M ago51:57

51:57

Remember Full House? Remember how wholesome and family-friendly it was? Remember Aunt Becky? She was married to Uncle Jesse.

The 1990's were filled with high profile criminal trials for some of the most famous entertainers in the world.

1:04:15

Hello again friends and family, Bucking a recent trend of recent cases, today we head back roughly 140 years to Chicago in the 1880s.

United States v. Philip Esformes 56:18

1+ y ago56:18

56:18

What is "fraud?" How does it work? What are the recourses of someone who has been defrauded? Is fraud always criminal? In today's episode, Paul dives into healthcare fraud.

In the 1950's and 60's, Lenny Bruce was a transformative figure in the world of comedy. He was hip, brash, unfiltered, and...obscene?

In this episode…

Impeachment 49:45

2y ago49:45

49:45

A lot of listeners have asked In Summation to publish an episode on impeachment. Paul thought it only fitting that episode 45 be the one to cover impeachment seeing as how our 45th president has the dubious distinction of being the most impeached president in American history. In this episode, Paul explains the historical background of impeachment,…

Maryland v. Keith Davis, Jr. 1:05:30

2y ago1:05:30

1:05:30

This is a unique episode for a number of reasons. First, this is the first case Paul has covered which is technically still ongoing. There is hope that it may be brought to a just resolution in early 2023, but there is no way to know for certain just yet. Second, the fact pattern and procedural history of this case is more absurd than anything comi…

No matter how successful someone becomes, there is always the chance of flying a little too close to the sun and having the heat melt the wax holding your makeshift wings together.

United States v. Eugene Debs 41:20

2+ y ago41:20

41:20

Sometimes, when we fulfill our commitment to abiding by the bill of rights, it means we end up protecting the rights of people to say or do things that make us uncomfortable. Perhaps the greatest example of this is free speech. It is incumbent on all citizens to ensure that speech remains free, but in doing that, it necessarily requires the average…

The bombing of the Alfred Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City was a watershed event of the mid 1990s.

United States v. Griselda Blanco 48:41

3y ago48:41

48:41

We typically think of Central and South American cartel leaders as men. We're familiar with such infamous characters as El Chapo, Pablo Escobar, and more recently, El Mencho. But if we take a serious look through history, we would see that it wasn't always a man's world. While we tend to believe that the world of the Colombian cartels importing hug…
