Juror No. 5 (Episode 19)

Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | TuneIn

This week we look at our abnormal political system, where the Communications Director goes on a profanity-laced tirade, the Chief-of-Staff is ousted, and the Papaya POTUS encourages police brutality. We also cover problems in our law enforcement across the country, and our #Law140 segment features a special guest to talk about the mechanics of juries.
