Not So Grand Jury

The Not So Grand Jury welcomes back friend of the podcast and special guest Wes Rist to discuss a 1989 episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, which mostly revolves around the question of whether android officer Lt. Commander Data, played by Brent Spiner, is property or a sentient being.  Wes is an international human rights lawyer who specializes in atrocity prevention (in addition to being a huge nerd like the rest of us).  If you happened to miss Wes's previous appearance on the podcast, we encourage you to go back and listen to Season 1, Episode 26 on Captain America: Civil War, where he provided significant assistance in explaining international law and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In this episode, Derrick, Geoff, and Wes discuss the concept of JAG officers, Star Trek law, the hearing (not a trial) on whether Data is property or a sentient being, relevant human rights law, and so much more.

"I didn't kill my wife! . . . I don't care."
Yes, that's right, we are talking about the 1993 classic action-thriller starring Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones.  On this episode, Geoff, Mike, and Derrick discuss the history and role of the U.S. Marshals, drug trials and approvals, custodial interrogation, and the various crimes committed by Dr. Richard Kimble throughout the movie.

A super-quick sidebar this week just to let you know that next week the guys will be discussing the iconic 1993 film The Fugitive. We really enjoyed the discussion. We hope you enjoy it as well.
See you then!

"You can't get drunk on jum. It's a breakfast liqueur."
In this second of two installments, Geoff, Mike, and Derrick finish the discussion of Scrubs Season 6, Episode 17 (Their Story) and then chat about Season 8, Episode 8 (My Lawyer's in Love).   We discuss gender affirming care, "extra hot tea for Ted" + the McDonald's hot coffee case, Ted's Alaska bar membership, the challenges of being "in charge", and a variety of other minor issues.

Eaaaaggllllleeeeee!  In this first of two installments, Geoff, Mike, and Derrick discuss Season 5, Episode 8 (My Big Bird) and start the discussion of Season 6, Episode 17 (Their Story).  We discuss, among other things, morbidity and mortality conferences, keeping exotic pets (like ostriches) as pets, contract mistake, and opening someone else's mail.  We will be back with Part II in two weeks!
(By my some chance the episode's audio is off/overlapping at around the 21- to 23-minute mark, please re-download the episode.)
