Summary

When news broke last week that Bowe Bergdahl's legal team had scored a victory in his case, we weren't sure we understood exactly what happened. So, Kevin reached out to our trusty military legal eagle James Weirick for a quick run-down. As a bonus, we get confirmation that Weirick is, in fact, the manliest man to ever man-up. Also, the PBS documentary Peace Officer hooked us in but also left us with some questions. As we tackle those, we also wonder, WTF is our local PD doing with a tank? (BTW, you can find out what we're going to be talking about before our episodes drop if you sign up for our newsletter! You can do that right here.) Plus, Lara gets corrected correctly, we answer a couple of listener inquiries, and the Crime of the Week posits...is it EVER too late to hand out some justice? LINKS: "The Coldest Cut" article by Kevin & Rebecca Radley Balko's Washington Post blog: The Watch AMC/Netflix's crime drama "The Killing" Crime of the Week: 71 year old fugitive caught 50 years after his escape.
