0:00.0	And look this man in the eye and hold him accountable for what he did.
0:30.0	Hello and welcome to Best Case Worst Cases Special Worst Case scenario. I'm your host,
0:43.1	francey hakes, former state and federal prosecutor, and I am in Atlanta today recording from the East Coast
0:50.0	Office. I'm joined by my illustrious co-host Jim Clemente from Los Angeles, California. And it may be
1:00.0	wonderful out here. The weather's great, but I'm a little under the weather. So hopefully I won't go into a
1:07.7	coughing fit in the middle of this. But I have a lot to say about this particular topic. Jim, I
1:14.0	suspect we both have a lot to say about this particular topic. And if you have to cough, you go right
