Too Many Lawyers
Too Many Lawyers goes beyond the headlines about laws and court cases to tell listeners what developments in the law really mean, and how the stories impact real people. The hosts are each lawyers and legal analysts, but beyond that couldn’t be more different. One, Royal Oakes, is a libertarian, baby boomer and dad, who’s been offering analysis on network radio and television for decades; the other, Connor Oakes, is a progressive millennial and son of Royal Oakes, who offers a fresh take on the legal world. TML knows what podcast listeners want to hear about, and delivers – subjects include:--- Should America embrace Pete Buttigieg’s view, legalization of every drug, from grass, to meth, to heroin?--- Should the feds be bumping the tobacco purchase age to 21?--- Can we trust Twitter and Facebook to censor political opinions?--- Your devices are spying on you – should you go through life not trusting Alexa?--- The gig economy – do laws saying everybody with a side hustle is an “employee” help, or hurt?--- Should colleges be dumping SAT and ACT tests as a tool to fight discrimination? --- How can governments regulate “ghost guns” made by 3-D printers?--- Is facial recognition just another tool like fingerprints, or does it spell the end of privacy?--- Should Amazon face lawsuits for sales of unsafe products, when they just collect a slice as middleperson?

The Menendez brothers gave it their best shot. They hired super lawyer Mark Geragos, and then rode the wave of public sympathy generated by 110 million views of a pair of Netflix specials that made a lot of folks think their PARENTS were the monsters. This week, we present the case for why in spite of all that, the brothers will likely never taste freedom.

The jury is deliberating the fate of hip hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs. The government failed to convince the panel he’s a gangster, and the testimony of the victims he abused fell far short of proving sex trafficking. Translation: Diddy will have a smile on his face when the verdict is read.

Donald Trump’s criminal case problems may not be in his rear-view mirror. The Stormy Daniels case is history, but the Florida, Georgia and Washington, D.C. cases could be revived after he leaves the White House. Plus, could Trump’s pardon of a man whose mom donated $1 million to Trump days before the pardon lead to a bribery charge?

The prosecution says Sean Combs is a racketeer. The defense says he’s a mean guy who’s hit some women but the sex was consensual. Will he walk, or will he spend the rest of his life in prison?

The Menendez Brothers have been waiting 35 years to be sprung. They were on the brink, but now they’re back on hold for another month. But is the handwriting on the wall? Will you be seeing them shopping on Rodeo Drive this summer? And, I’ll tell the story of my most unforgettable jury trial!

There’s a lot of hand-wringing going on over the idea Donald Trump’s response to some federal court orders has put us in a soup called “constitutional crisis.” Well the soup may soon be heated up and served, but so far it’s still in Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s can. Trump hasn’t spit in the eye of a judge yet, he’s more or less playing by the rules. If he gets a “NO” from SCOTUS in a case and ignores them, yes, we’ll be in hot water...
Some Americans are suffering from a severe case of premature pearl-clutching. Donald Trump may at some point trigger a constitutional crisis by defying federal court orders. But, that hasn’t happened yet, so his critics may fall prey to “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” syndrome. Plus, a California jury is struggling with its verdict in the case of a judge who shot his wife to death after she dared him to pull the trigger. After the sho...
The “trial of the century” resulted in “the worst jury verdict of the century.” How did it happen? What better source to consult than Marcia Clark, the lead prosecutor. Why did a downtown LA jury vote for OJ? And, did the DA’s office blow the case by insisting that the trial be held in downtown LA, instead of a courthouse in West LA, where the crime occurred? Clark’s answers may shock you.
This year is the 30th anniversary of the not guilty verdict in O.J. Simpson’s murder case. How did a guy facing overwhelming evidence of guilt beat the rap?
In this report you’ll learn how the Los Angeles County DA had a sure win if he’d just chosen to try the case in West Los Angeles, where the crime occurred.
Instead, overconfidence and a desire for a conviction by a diverse jury led the DA to commit a colossal blunder.
Are we in for the ultimate in irony? Biden pardons himself, after Dems blasted a presidential self-pardon as illegal? And if he DOESN’T pardon himself and Trump’s DOJ indicts him, he relies on SCOTUS’ “presidential immunity” decision, after Dems blasted it as wrong-headed?
Plus, Canada as our 51st state is a stretch – but maybe Denmark wants to unload Greenland. Looks like we’d need to pay a cool $1 trillion. That’d buy a lot of...
Gloria Allread is back, and – shocker – she’s angry! Her client was bounced off a Delta flight for trying to soar braless.
Gloria’s got us thinking: Why are guys the only ones can stroll around topless in public? San Francisco has experimented with dropping its anti-nudity ordinance – should we give that a try? Or should we just face facts, our society considers women’s breasts to be sex objects – manboobs, not so much.
Just when we thought toxic partisanship couldn’t get any worse, we have an epidemic of people saying, “Yes, but . . . .” Yes, executing business executives is bad, BUT my goodness folks are frustrated over the handling of health insurance claims. Really? How about no ifs, ands or buts: Murder is inexcusable. Maybe we all agree on that, full stop. Then, pick another day to talk about how to reform the health care system.
PARDON-GATE: IF YOU THINK THE BIDEN LEGACY HAS HIT ROCK BOTTOM, WHAT ABOUT A JANUARY 20 SELF-PARDON?
Who doesn’t have compassion for Joe Biden – he loses one son to cancer, then almost loses another one to addiction and prison. But a TEN-YEAR PARDON, the start of which was 90 days before Hunter joined the Burisma board?
And, does this guarantee Trump will pardon all 645 people sentenced for January 6 crimes?

It’s the season for happy criminal defendants! Jussie Smollett’s conviction was tossed because prosecutors failed to honor deal. Jack Smith threw in the towel on TrumpLaw. And the Menendez Brothers hope they’ll be walking free in January.

Hey they’ve got seven weeks before the GOP takes over the White House and the Senate. Dems are saying we can do this – Sotomayor quits, Biden nominates a replacement, and the Dem-controlled Senate installs her before January.
One possible catch: SHE MAY NOT BE READY TO RETIRE. Biden’s likely response: Uh, you do remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg, right? DO YOU WANT THE CONSERVATIVES TO HAVE A 7-2 MAJORITY??
On November 26 Donald Trump has a date with destiny – he’s due in the Stormy Daniels hush money courtroom to hear his sentence, following his conviction by a jury of 34 felony counts. Does his election win protect him from incarceration?
And, why did Kamala lose? I’ll tell you about the two big blunders that doomed her campaign.

People assume that a Trump win means dismissal of the federal criminal cases pending against him.
But, not so fast! When prosecutors agreed to drop charges against General Michael Flynn, the judge said no!
Yes, judges may bring in new prosecutors to keep fighting, if the think “justice” or “public interest” requires it.

—- Is Elon Musk in legal trouble for giving away $1 million a day to boost voter registration? If so, does Taylor Swift’s Kamala endorsement cross the line as well?
—- Is Biden’s DOJ going after Musk proof the legal system is being weaponized for political reasons?
—- Was SCOTUS’ ruling giving Trump immunity an overreaction to the concerns about weaponization?

Yes, the Menendez brothers were sentenced to life without parole for shot gunning their parents. But their new lawyer Mark Geragos wants them released, saying he hopse to host them at Thanksgiving dinner next month.
There’s yet another lawsuit against a baker who refuses to create a cake he disapproves of. The latest entry? The customer wants a birthday cake with an image of Satan, smoking a joint.
And, does America have an incarcera...
