Two cars collided head-on – but their client wasn’t wearing his seatbelt. The client suffered a brain injury – but didn’t require significant medical treatment.

Yet Michael Born and Peter McCaffrey of Born & McCaffrey Injury Law secured $380,000 from a jury. With host Keith Fuicelli, Michael and Peter reveal the plot twists in this unique case, starting at the hospital, when police initially considered that their client was at fault. The story changed when crash data revealed the defendant’s excessive speed. Michael and Peter discuss how they balanced the role that speed played against their client’s lack of a seatbelt. They also share how they delicately cross-examined the defendant so that the jury would not feel sympathy for him.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
