Summary

Mark and Gary reunite to examine the controversy surrounding a federal judge in Atlanta after allegations of an inappropriate relationship and a viral video sparked calls for accountability, recusal and even impeachment. Then, they turn to the conviction of 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony in the fatal stabbing of fellow student Austin Metcalf, discussing jury selection, race in the criminal justice system, inflammatory social media rhetoric and whether the case is destined for appeal.

0:00.0	This is beyond a reasonable doubt with your hosts Mark Geregous and Gary Smith.
0:10.3	JPS brought to you straight from New York where I can tell you, Gary, last night, the energy in the city was off the charts.
0:20.2	I don't know that I can remember the energy in the city was off the charts. I don't know that I can remember the energy in the
0:23.2	city being similar to this in the last 50 years. I mean, understandably so. It's been almost that
0:30.9	long since they've won a championship. And boy, did they do it in a spectacular fashion.
0:36.1	The only downside is I have heard a couple of people, you know, we were talking at the park this morning, saying that it would have been great, Knicks and Six.
0:45.5	But I said, don't be, you can't be.
0:48.1	Not everything is poetry.
0:49.8	Nothing's perfect.
0:50.8	I was commenting as I watched the game with neighbors that I would prefer that they do it at the garden because it would have been that much more electric. But, you know, I don't think anyone in New York is going to trade a championship for the opportunity for it to possibly be done somewhere else.
1:07.7	Yeah, I was thinking about Willis Reed and the Wakers and 73 the entire time. So it's
1:14.4	incredible and well deserved and kudos to them. We've got two stories today that I want to talk about.
1:23.0	The first is the Atlanta federal judge. And do you know which story I'm talking about? I do. I have no way of knowing whether or not this is a real video, but I've got it ready for you. And we can play it if you'd like. Okay. So we're going to do a disclaimer at the beginning. We don't know if this is AI or not. No, we don't. And I think that should just be a blanket disclaimer going forward for the world.
1:47.7	Yes, because given where we are in 2026, I don't know that anything is real.
1:54.1	Neither do I, but here we go.
1:55.6	Yeah. So that's
2:03.6	So that's video that purports to show an Atlanta judge having an affair with a police officer in her chambers,
2:24.2	and that is someone who is walking through the halls of the courtroom on their way to lunch.
2:29.9	And apparently, we know whether we, whether or not that AI or non-AI video, we can discuss that.
2:38.7	What we do know is that there was how what led to this is the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, the federal circuit.
2:48.7	Now, this is not, we're not talking state court.
2:50.7	So Atlanta's had their fair share of state court shenanigans that we have covered in the last
