Summary

It’s time to look back on 2020 and the top legal stories of the year, which began off with one of the biggest trials of the century – NY v. Harvey Weinstein – only to see courtrooms soon shut down due to the Covid-19 crisis. What will the long-term impact of the shutdown be on our legal system? In 2020 we also learned of the grim fates of missing siblings Tylee Ryan and JJ Vallow, whose bodies were discovered in the back yard of their mom Lori Vallow’s new husband Chad. But perhaps the biggest legal story of the year was inspired by two men– Georgia’s Ahmaud Arbery and Minnesota’s George Floyd – two men who tragically will killed, igniting an international call for social justice that many hope will change with world for the better for years to come.

20 is coming to an end so it's time to look back on the five biggest legal stories of

the year. Court TV's Julie Grant and Ted Rawlins are here to count down the

0:27.3

stories that dominated the headlines, set off social justice movements, and

0:31.6

impacted the legal justice system in ways we could have never

0:36.0

imagined.

This is the Court TV Podcast with Vinney Polytan.

0:47.1

I'm Vinny Polytan.

0:48.3

Thanks so much for joining us here on the Court TV

0:50.8

podcast and this is the time of year where usually I would like to do the

0:56.4

top trials of the year but this is 2020 right this is 2020 so I can't do that because this has been such a bizarre year and it's impacted everything,

1:06.5

especially our system of justice and trials.

1:10.4

So we can't do the top five trials of 2020 because I don't even know if there were five trials in 20 20 to be honest with you, right?

1:18.0

We'd really be stretching it.

1:20.0

1:27.4

Which is covering the big crime and justice stories. So what I would like to do is take a look at the top five
