A joke's punchline is not an excuse to assault someone yet we all either saw this happen live or saw it in the news or on social media after it happened at the Oscars. In this episode we discuss what Virginia law is and how it could play out if you were to use your fists when someone makes fun of your or mouths off at you. It can lead to a criminal charge in Virginia even if you are just reacting in the moment. Check out this episode to hear our take on what happened with Will Smith and Chris Rock.
LEGAL DISCLAIMER:
If you are listening to this podcast, thank you! We sincerely hope you are listening to this podcast for its entertainment value and not with the intention of acquiring legal advice for any individual case or situation. I mean, come on! You wouldn’t take advice from someone you have never met or spoken to directly, right? If you were bleeding profusely, you wouldn’t listen to a podcast in hopes of a bandage somehow materializing over the internet and onto your 3D printer. Seeking actual legal advice can be just as important as a tourniquet. The hosts of this podcast are in no way intending to create an attorney-client relationship with any listener. Sorry. We are sure you all are great people but we cannot stress enough how little we know of you and your case and rather than risk an awkward moment, let us just remember we have never met. Nothing on this platform be taken as legal advice for any individual case or situation! We are just a group of friends with differing opinions and viewpoints which we will try to explore through discussions of current events, law changes, and whatever else floats our fancy.
