[Mod Note: I moved this from
The Epstein thread. The Geragos podcast mentioned below was first referenced
here. -- WN]
This is completely an aside, but in the same podcast Geragos talked about how the Daniel Shaver's execution case was progressing. Basically, he said the Az govt has cynically lied and obfuscated its way to getting a complete acquittal for the murdering officers, and on top of that they are both were able to retire with full benefits. And in the civil trial Shaver's widowed wife and children haven't gotten a penny, as the govt has effectively been able to stonewall the case progressing (he says their game plan is just to stonewall and draw things out indefinitely until statute of limitations pass and noone cares anymore).
Anyways, both him and Carolla talked about how the justice system is very corrupt, and it is very important for the media's job to hold the govt accountable. And he said the media has completely dropped the ball on this one for political reasons, mainly the victim is a white male and so the case doesn't fit the preferred political narrative.
Anyways, Geragos said he is stunned in 2019 police officers could execute a citizen blatantly like that on video, with no legal or (so far) civil repercussions; and shows just how corrupt our legal and justice system is and how easy it is for them to get away with it when the media isn't interested in holding them accountable (in case anyone was wondering if Geragos is holding water for Acosta because he is on team law and order).
