Summary
Mark Geragos is joined by special guest co-host (and his daughter) Teny Geragos, a criminal defense attorney, for a wide-ranging legal breakdown that moves from the arrest of journalist Don Lemon and the First Amendment issues it raises to a major pre-trial victory removing the death penalty in the Luigi Mangione case. The episode also digs into federal charging tactics, prosecutorial discretion, and the latest Epstein file disclosures, including why heavy redactions have become routine in high-profile criminal cases.
