Another Not Guilty

From the Crypt: A Mistaken Identity

Another Not Guilty — Sat, 31 Oct 2026 19:17:14 GMT

Welcome to this week’s episode of ANG from the Archives. We’ve dusted off the cobwebs and gone back to our third episode ever, back to even when Dave had hair.

And since it’s Halloween, what could be the only thing scarier than a guy exposing himself? That’s right, being the wrong guy on trial for it.

Someone else did the crime, but the prosecution wanted that evidence buried. reasonable doubt has a nasty habit of clawing its way back out.

Enjoy this week’s episode of ANG from the crypt

From the Archives: Never Underestimate the Value of a Public Defender

Another Not Guilty — Tue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT

During the great platform migration, several older episodes vanished from the record. Unlike the prosecution, we do not hide the evidence. We recovered the master, cleaned the audio, rewrote the description, and put this one back into the feed.

Originally Season 1, Episode 7. Public defender Michael had almost nine years in when he took a vandalism case that only looked simple. His client, a veteran, turned down Veterans Court twice because getting in meant admitting the vandalism. A prior strike turned what Michael says would likely have been a misdemeanor into a felony he estimates at over eight or nine years in prison.

The homeowner's account: a shirtless man at about 5 a.m., broken outdoor piping, garden lights ripped up, a car kicked and hit, trash bins thrown at it, and water in the garage. Michael went to the house himself. The car was a VW Jetta. The body shop estimator, called by the prosecution, said the marks were ordinary wear and tear, not kicking, punching, or thrown trash bins. Ring video, turned over on the day of trial, showed the client waiting at the door and garden lights still in place. One file in the download sequence, IMG 847, never showed up. The jury was out about two or three hours. Not guilty on the counts Michael describes.

The next day, the DA told Michael the homeowner was thinking of a state bar complaint for his visit to the house. Michael says the DA told her he had not done anything wrong. He says he was never on her property.

Dave, Nikhil, and Michael also get into why a prior strike does this to a vandalism case, what malicious means when the defense is accident, and why Michael stopped trusting the version that owned him at the preliminary hearing.

From the Archives: Psych’d Up And Ready To Fight

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 12 Oct 2026 13:34:50 GMT

Before Loren became a co-host, she was defending people in psychiatric crisis and saving dogs. Whether the first job prepared her for working with Dave is still an open question. (Not really)

In this case, her 68-year-old client was living in a locked psychiatric hospital, asking to see a doctor and for basic care. The system’s response? A third-strike felony threat case that could have sent him to prison for life. Loren went to the preliminary hearing ready to fight. The case was dismissed.

Dave, Nikhil, and Loren get into how a mental health crisis became a criminal case, what the evidence actually showed, and why one dismissal doesn’t fix a system that keeps doing this. On the bright side, Dave is still only a possible case for rescue.

From the Archives: When The Truth Doesn't Matter

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 04 Oct 2026 18:30:00 GMT

Where it all began, the very first ANG episode. As many defenders and their clients know, once something is on the internet, it stays there forever. We are not hiding from the evidence, but we are remastering and cataloging.

Originally Season 1, Episode 1, released June 6, 2018, and edited back when Dave's weapon of choice was GarageBand. Who still uses GarageBand anyway?

Public defender John tells David and Nikhil about a client who called 911 because her partner was abusing her. By the time the officer arrived, the partner was gone and she was sitting in the driver's seat. The state charged her with DUI. The police report somehow forgot to mention her entire account. The prosecutor told the defense he did not need to know what actually happened, because finding the truth was not his job.

The jury needed five to ten minutes to disagree. Not guilty. The court then billed her $1,200 for the privilege of proving it. The very first ANG episode, and the state was already treating the truth like an optional exhibit.

From the Archives: Jumpin’ The Grenade For Truth & Justice

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 07 Sep 2026 12:55:41 GMT

During the great platform migration, we discovered that several older episodes had vanished from the record. Unlike the prosecution, we don’t hide the evidence. So we dusted off the master, cleaned up the audio, rewrote the description, and released this one back into the wild.

Originally in Season 1 Episode 14, Public defender Mike takes on a double homicide case where the prosecution’s theory has more holes than a crime scene interview conducted by committee.

As Mike digs deeper, the DA’s case begins shedding evidence, logic, and apparently any remaining attachment to structural integrity. What first looks like a straightforward prosecution turns into a spectacular collapse of assumptions and strategy.

The case proves that truth and justice sometimes require jumping onto the grenade before the state can pull the pin, especially when the grenade is labeled “Exhibit A” and nobody bothered to check whether it was armed.

From the Archives: Nobody Likes These Charges

Another Not Guilty — Wed, 05 Aug 2026 01:47:30 GMT

This episode has been pulled from the archives for reasons entirely unrelated to switching platforms and discovering that several old episodes had disappeared like a witness after being asked whether they actually saw anything. We cleaned up the audio, rewrote the description, and returned the case to the docket.

Public defender Erik takes on sensitive and deeply serious allegations complicated by unreliable witnesses and a prosecution determined to move forward.

Erik carefully challenges the accusations without losing sight of the human stakes, exposes weaknesses in the government’s case, and fights for a client facing charges that can destroy a life before a jury ever hears evidence.

The case ends during jury selection, proving that sometimes the strongest courtroom victory happens before opening statements and before the prosecution has time to prepare another PowerPoint labeled “Justice.”

The Prick Gets Caught in the Zipper …? When the state tries to stitch up a case

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 07 Jun 2026 18:02:43 GMT

Editors note: This episode was originally released in Season 2 as two part episode. We have combined it to be one episode and give some of our newer listeners a chance to catch up on some of our "classic" NGs!

The prosecution thought they had zipped up the case tight. No gaps, no questions, no chance for escape. But the truth has a way of slipping through, especially when a fearless public defender takes the stand.

In this combined episode — Parts 1 and 2 brought together — we follow our fellow public defenders as they dismantle the state's so-called "airtight" story. Every witness who thought they were backing up the prosecution's narrative stumbled under sharp cross-examination. Every detail the state insisted was proof of guilt came undone, exposed as sloppy, incomplete, or outright misleading.

What the state tried to package as justice turned out to be nothing but a messy zipper snag — and the defender was ready with the scissors. The comedy comes in watching the state scramble to explain their unraveling theory, while the tragedy lies in how close the system came to convicting someone on patchwork evidence.

By combining the two parts into one episode, the full scope of the defender's strategy shines: from the first objection to the last word before the jury, it's a master class in fearless advocacy. And when the verdict came, it wasn't guilt — it was vindication. Another powerful reminder that even when the system tries to stitch up the innocent, a relentless public defender can tear through the seams.

Live at Penn: Uncle Biggie, Uncle Smalls, and a Whole Lot of Doubt

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 22 Mar 2026 19:00:00 GMT

At a live taping of Another Not Guilty, we head to Penn Carey Law for a case that had everything: a chaotic family dispute, a single gunshot, and three witnesses who somehow couldn’t agree on what actually happened.

When 19-year-old Angel was charged with attempted murder and facing decades in prison, the case seemed straightforward—until the stories started changing. With no defense witnesses, no experts, and hundreds of hours of bodycam footage, Delco public defender Anna Hinchman built her case on one simple idea: if no one can tell the same story twice, how can you prove anything beyond a reasonable doubt?

Featuring Uncle Biggie, Uncle Smalls, a mysterious pair of gloves, and a staircase that heard more than anyone saw, this live episode is a perfect example of how doubt isn’t just reasonable—it’s everything.

Proof Beyond a Reasonable Printout

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 18 Jan 2026 17:59:39 GMT

In this episode of Another Not Guilty, the hosts are joined by public defender Lauren Hillary to break down a case that should terrify anyone who believes evidence still matters.

The state charged Lauren’s client with 13 felony sex offenses, including counts carrying multiple life sentences—based largely on printed email notifications allegedly tied to Twitter messages that did not exist. No corroborating DMs. No forensic proof. No investigation of the home. Just screenshots, assumptions, and a year of pretrial incarceration in Mississippi’s broken system.

This is a story about fake evidence, real consequences, and what it takes to stop the system from steamrolling an innocent person. Printing something doesn’t make it true.

🎙️ Another Not Guilty tells the untold stories of public defenders fighting back—one case at a time.

Believe No One: Discrediting the Client's Confession

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 05 Oct 2025 00:30:00 GMT

Defense attorney Ryan Sullivan out of Massachusetts casts doubt on his own client's confession to win an acquittal on all charges in a gun possession case.

The defendant — a young shoe salesman who had been shot six times — faced a mandatory 1.5-year minimum sentence under Massachusetts's draconian gun laws that punished possessing a firearm for protection that was clearly needed. Ryan masterfully unravels the prosecution's case and challenges the reliability of the confession itself, turning what seemed like a sure conviction into a complete not guilty.

The ABCs of CYA – A fearless defender exposes a cop cover up and saves his client from life

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 07 Sep 2025 23:57:00 GMT

When off-duty officers turn a botched investigation into a full-blown "cover your ass" operation, an innocent man suddenly finds himself facing life in prison for attempted murder.

Enter Stanford Fraser, a sharp, fearless public defender from Prince George's County, Maryland, who refuses to let bad police work and lazy assumptions destroy a client's future. From the jump, Stanford digs into the cracks in the state's case, exposing contradictions, sloppy testimony, and the real motive behind the prosecution's push: protecting cops instead of pursuing justice.

With trial barreling forward, Stanford keeps his client calm, steady, and focused—even as the weight of life imprisonment looms. Then comes the turning point: right before closing arguments, Stanford finds the moment to blow the case wide open. The "truth" the police tried to sell collapses under scrutiny. Jurors see the lies for what they are, and the not-guilty verdict rings out like a hammer of justice.

This is public defense at its boldest. It's not just about one man's freedom—it's about exposing how institutions bend reality to cover their own mistakes, and how only a relentless defender standing tall in court can stop the injustice.

Told with wit, grit, and a courtroom edge, this episode proves once again that when defenders fight, freedom wins.

The Couple That Stands Their Ground Together Gets Charged Together

In this episode, defense attorney Andrew Darling tells the story of a case where love, loyalty, and self-defense collided in the courtroom. His client was charged with murder after her girlfriend shot and killed an attacker who came after them both.

The state tried to twist survival into crime, but Andrew dismantled their theory, showing the jury exactly why self-defense applied. Against long odds and high stakes, he secured the only verdict that honored the truth: not guilty.

It's a case that reminds us the law isn't always ready for the realities of real life — but that's why defenders fight.

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 09 Jun 2025 00:44:00 GMT

In this episode, Cincinnati public defenders Max and Molly take us inside a case where their client was wrongfully accused of voyeurism. The prosecution lined up witness after witness, each ready to double down on shaky stories — but Max and Molly weren't having it.

Through sharp cross-examinations and airtight trial strategy, they exposed the flaws, contradictions, and gaslighting at the heart of the state's case. By the time the jury saw the truth, there was only one verdict left: not guilty.

It's a case that proves even when the state throws the whole witness bench at you, the right defense can knock it all down.

Party Marty, Not So Smarty! – When Closing Arguments Seal the Deal

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 26 May 2025 20:04:26 GMT

Take a listen as Glen Oh from the Neighborhood Defender Service of Detroit shares one of his standout trials. His client was falsely accused of assaulting his ex-lover on several occasions, but the case quickly turned into a circus. The police did zero investigation, the prosecutor pulled every trick in the book, and the courtroom was packed with shenanigans.

Glen cut through the nonsense with sharp advocacy and delivered a closing argument so good other defenders could borrow it for their own trials. The result? A clean not guilty across the board.

Because sometimes the best defense against chaos is a defender who knows how to own the jury box.

All Or Nothing: The Bucket Hat Cat Burglar – When Testimony Alone Decides It All

What happens when the actual victim of a crime gets arrested and prosecuted?

In this episode, Los Angeles Public Defender Felipe Gonzalez shares the story of his client, a man falsely accused and staring down an eight-count indictment that carried a possible 45-year sentence. It all came down to one witness: his client.

With fearless advocacy, Felipe ran an all-or-nothing defense, putting his client on the stand to tell the truth. And the jury believed him. The result? Not guilty across the board.

This one's about risk, strategy, and the defender's role as the ultimate shield against injustice.

When Due Process Freezes Over – ICE Snatches a Defendant Mid-Trial

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 28 Apr 2025 03:21:00 GMT

What happens when the government literally rips your client away in the middle of a jury trial?

Defense attorney Murat Erkan shares one of the most shocking stories we've heard: his client was abducted by ICE agents during trial, depriving him of his right to a jury trial and due process. The prosecution pushed forward, the judge let it happen, and the system showed just how cold it can be.

This case is a sobering reminder that constitutional rights aren't always protected — and that sometimes defenders are fighting not just the charges, but the very machinery of the state.

Mother Knows Worst – When Family Drama Meets the Courtroom

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 13 Apr 2025 21:38:18 GMT

Family ties can twist into courtroom lies. In this episode, a public defender walks us through a case where a mother's accusations nearly cost her own child their freedom. The prosecution thought "mom knows best" would be enough to win the jury — but when the defense peeled back the layers, it turned out mother knows worst.

With relentless advocacy and a sharp eye for the truth, the defender exposed the contradictions and bias driving the state's case, and the jury returned the only verdict that fit: not guilty.

It's messy, it's dramatic, and it's proof that not even family drama can outweigh reasonable doubt.

The Wimbledon DNA Cross – When a Rookie Defender Serves an Ace

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 30 Mar 2025 23:07:36 GMT

First trials don't usually look like this. In his very first jury trial — and first trial ever — defense attorney Jared faced a client staring down multiple robbery charges and a possible life sentence.

The state leaned hard on DNA evidence to seal the deal. But Jared wasn't playing defense — he went on the offensive. With a cross-examination worthy of Wimbledon, he got the prosecution's DNA expert to admit that the supposedly damning evidence wasn't actually reliable.

The jury saw through the state's case, and Jared's client walked free with a not guilty. An underdog story, a rookie trial lawyer, and a defense win that shows why truth beats lab coats every time.

Meth, Murder, and a Missing Boyfriend – When the Case Unravels Like a Bad Thriller

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 16 Mar 2025 23:31:46 GMT

This episode has it all: attempted murder charges, cartel rumors, shady witnesses, and one very unreliable memory. Public defender Avneet takes us inside a case where his client faced 20-to-life — and walked away with not guilty.

The state leaned on a supposed victim whose story changed with every telling, three mysterious men wandering a desert property, and even a judge who flipped the rules mid-trial. But Avneet exposed the contradictions, highlighted the sloppy police work, and turned the prosecution's "Hollywood thriller" into a courtroom flop.

It's a case that shows exactly why we say the truth is stranger (and better) than fiction.

Tattoo Turf War – When the Video Inked Not Guilty

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 02 Mar 2025 18:32:19 GMT

Everything's bigger in Texas — even the trials. In this episode, defense attorney Kristin tells the story of her client, a tattoo artist accused of inappropriate touching during a session. The state tried to turn a routine tattoo appointment into a criminal case, but they overlooked one thing: the video.

Kristin walks us through how the footage exposed the truth and erased the accusations, leaving the jury with no doubt. The prosecution's case faded like bad ink, and the verdict was crystal clear: not guilty.

It's a story of false accusations, courtroom drama, and the importance of receipts — especially when they're on video.

All Tuah And No Hawk – When False Accusations Fall Apart

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 16 Feb 2025 23:38:15 GMT

Los Angeles Public Defender Emmanuel Garcia takes us inside a case that had all the makings of a courtroom soap opera. His client was falsely accused of hitting his eight-month-pregnant girlfriend and assaulting the very person who made those accusations.

With sharp cross and relentless trial advocacy, Emmanuel peeled back the layers of lies and showed the jury the truth. The prosecution's story collapsed, and his client walked free with a not guilty.

It's a tale of false accusations, high stakes, and a defender who refused to let the state's narrative fly.

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 02 Feb 2025 21:04:37 GMT

In this unforgettable episode, Sacha Mount from the San Joaquin Public Defender's Office takes us inside a trial where the evidence was messy — and so was the courtroom. At one point, his client literally vomited all over counsel table during the presentation of evidence.

But the real story here isn't about the cleanup — it's about the defense. Sacha walks us through his journey as counsel, standing firm for a client charged with a crime he didn't commit, even when the state's "evidence" seemed stacked against him.

It's messy, it's memorable, and it ends with the only verdict that fit: not guilty.

Pothole Vigilante – When Fixing the Streets Turns Into a Trial

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 20 Jan 2025 20:57:08 GMT

In this one, Dallas and Rachel — our Cincinnati PD hosts — sit down with defense attorney Stephenie Lape to hear the story of a trial that proves just how ridiculous the government can be.

Stephenie's client faced charges that spun everyday frustrations into a criminal case, but with sharp advocacy and steady defense, she walked her client out the front door with a not guilty.

Because sometimes the state wants to criminalize what should just be common sense — and that's where defenders step in to keep the system in check.

Pro Pimpin' Prosecutor – When the State Puts a Trafficking Victim on Trial

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 06 Jan 2025 00:44:00 GMT

We're kicking off 2025 with a banger. Desiree Garrity from the Los Angeles Public Defender's Office brings us a case that shows just how twisted the system can get.

Her client — a survivor of sex trafficking — was prosecuted by the DA's office for allegedly assaulting her trafficker. That's right: instead of protecting the victim, the state doubled down and tried to make her the criminal.

Desiree wasn't having it. With fierce advocacy and relentless defense, she exposed the absurdity of the prosecution's case and delivered a not guilty verdict that put justice back where it belonged.

It's a powerful reminder of why public defenders fight — because sometimes the system gets it exactly backwards.

Cash Rules Everything Around Me – When a Scratch Isn't Domestic Violence

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 08 Dec 2024 22:59:00 GMT

In this episode, Dallas and Rachel take the helm as hosts and sit down with two public defenders from Montgomery County, Ohio. Their client was hit with a domestic violence charge after an ex-girlfriend got scratched — not from a fight, but from the two struggling over a big wad of cash.

The state tried to spin it into something criminal, but the defense team wasn't buying it. With persistence, creativity, and trial smarts, they showed the jury what really happened and secured the only verdict that made sense: not guilty.

Because sometimes, money may rule everything around us — but in court, the truth rules all.

Forced To Go, Forced To Leave – When the System Dumps and Defenders Deliver

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 11 Nov 2024 04:23:00 GMT

From Montgomery County, Ohio, public defenders Nicole & Elizabeth share a jaw-dropping case where their client was put on a law enforcement hold, taken to a hospital, and then literally dumped onto the streets after being discharged. The state tried to turn this ordeal into criminal liability — but Nicole & Elizabeth weren't about to let that stand.

With sharp advocacy and relentless defense, they guided their client through a stacked deck and secured the only verdict that made sense: not guilty.

And this episode is extra special — it's the first one hosted by Rachel & Dallas from the Cincinnati Public Defender's Office, who bring new voices, perspective, and energy to the ANG crew.

Saving Nikolas Cruz's Life – ANG's 100th Episode Special

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 21 Oct 2024 00:58:00 GMT

For our 100th episode, we bring you one of the most compelling and difficult conversations yet. This case is notoriously known as the capital trial of Nikolas Cruz, the Parkland shooter.

Our special guests are Casey Secor, one of the attorneys, and Katie O'Shea, the mitigation specialist. Together, they give a rare and insightful look into the high-stakes defense work that saved Nikolas Cruz's life.

This episode is not about excusing, but about understanding: the role of mitigation, the weight of capital defense, and the commitment to ensuring that even in the most notorious cases, the Constitution and due process remain alive.

It's an exceptional, sobering, and deeply human conversation — and a milestone for Another Not Guilty.

Rice a Baby Mama Drama – When Family Chaos Meets the Courtroom

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 06 Oct 2024 23:33:04 GMT

This one comes straight out of Sacramento. Public defender Kyle H tells the tale of a client with six children by six different women — and one of them put a criminal case on him.

What followed was a messy family drama dragged into a courtroom, where the state thought the jury would buy their story. Kyle, however, cut through the chaos with sharp advocacy and a clear defense narrative, leading the jury to the only outcome that made sense: not guilty.

It's a wild ride of family conflict, courtroom strategy, and the importance of having a defender who can navigate drama inside and outside the courtroom.

This one's straight out of a small-town sitcom. Public defender Matt Kellegrew from the Nevada City Public Defender's Office shares how a domestic violence case unraveled after the investigating officers — who just happened to be married to each other — put their credibility on trial.

Add in Ashley Ray as a special guest co-host, and you've got the perfect mix of courtroom drama and comic relief. The jury saw through the small-town tangle and handed down the only verdict that made sense: not guilty.

Because when your key witnesses double as husband and wife, maybe you don't have the most airtight investigation.

Neighborhood Watch Gone Wild – When the Prosecutor Cries Jury Nullification

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 18 Aug 2024 23:56:00 GMT

This episode flips the script: instead of a public defender telling the tale, we hear from a prosecutor reflecting on a not guilty verdict they say came down to jury nullification.

The case? A neighborhood watch gone wrong. The charges? Serious enough that the state thought conviction was a lock. But the jury had other ideas.

Was this a bold act of jury independence — or just the state refusing to admit its case was weak? You decide, as we explore how one trial turned into a lesson on community, credibility, and the limits of the law.

G-Queen's Gambit – When Snitches, Gangs, and the Feds Collide

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 04 Aug 2024 17:18:36 GMT

This episode stars Dustin Talbot, a Federal Deputy Public Defender, who shares one of the most jaw-dropping trial stories we've heard in a while. His client — who had snitched on his gang — found himself in the crosshairs of a "G-Queen" whose crew tried to have him killed.

What followed was a courtroom chess match with life-and-death stakes. Dustin breaks down how he maneuvered through the prosecution's theory, exposed the cracks, and ultimately walked his client out the front door with a not guilty.

It's part true-crime thriller, part trial strategy masterclass — and proof that in the courtroom, every move counts.

Race, Guns, & Subway Sandwiches – When a Jury Says "Not Guilty"

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 22 Jul 2024 00:00:00 GMT

This episode highlights the grit and dedication of the Monroe County Public Defender's Office in Indiana. Kyle Duggar and his team share how they defended a client accused of attempted murder — a case tangled up in issues of race, guns, and even a subway sandwich.

The prosecution thought they had their narrative locked, but the defense dismantled it piece by piece, exposing the holes and showing the jury the truth. The verdict? Not guilty.

It's part trial story, part social commentary, and all the reason why public defenders matter.

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 08 Jul 2024 00:00:00 GMT

Season 6 kicks off with a bang — literally. Zack Kitaynik from the San Joaquin Public Defender's Office takes us inside a murder trial where his client faced life-changing charges. The state painted it as cold-blooded, but Zack showed the jury the truth: this was self-defense.

Through sharp advocacy and fearless trial work, Zack dismantled the prosecution's theory and gave the jury the roadmap to justice. The verdict? Not guilty.

It's a high-stakes trial, a bold defense, and the perfect way to launch a new season of Another Not Guilty.

Alfred Hitchcock for the People – When a Murder Case Unravels in Motown

Another Not Guilty — Tue, 28 Nov 2023 05:50:38 GMT

Two Detroit public defenders take us inside a chilling case where their client was accused of the unthinkable — shooting and killing his own mother with a shotgun. The state built a murder case on bad assumptions, lazy detective work, and tunnel vision.

But here's the twist: multiple suspects, hidden leads, and defense attorneys who refused to let the jury swallow the state's story. Piece by piece, they showed how sloppy the investigation really was, and why the prosecution's "thriller" didn't have a second act.

The result? A not guilty verdict that proves even in the darkest courtroom drama, truth can still be the plot twist.

My So-Called Expert – When One Week Brings Two Not Guiltys

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 13 Nov 2023 15:29:04 GMT

In this episode, a public defender walks us through a wild week in which he won two separate jury trials for the same client. The prosecution thought they had their "expert" angle locked down, but sharp cross and relentless advocacy showed otherwise.

From shaky testimony to overblown charges, this defender dismantled the state's case not once, but twice — proving that sometimes the best way to handle a so-called expert is to show the jury how little expertise is really there.

Two trials. One client. Zero convictions. That's how you do it.

A Cop Hopping Kangaroo Court – When the State Jumps the Shark

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 29 Oct 2023 23:05:00 GMT

You've seen bad prosecutions before, but have you ever seen a police officer literally hopping around a courtroom? In this episode, a young, passionate public defender takes on a ridiculous case where the state's star witness — a cop — tried to prove to a jury how a tied-up person could "walk" to a police car… by bouncing around like it was a courtroom talent show.

The defense didn't need theatrics. With sharp advocacy and steady cross, they showed the jury just how far the state was willing to jump to make their case stick. Spoiler: it didn't. The result? Not guilty.

Because when justice turns into a kangaroo court, sometimes it takes a defender to stop the hopping madness.

Groper's Got a Gun – When the State Brings More Drama Than Proof

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 15 Oct 2023 21:23:23 GMT

Oh boy — this title is just the tip of the iceberg. In Wisconsin, two badass public defenders took on a case where the allegations were loud, the prosecution was confident, and the evidence? Paper thin.

What unfolded was a wild ride of cross-examination, contradictions, and defense strategy that shredded the state's story until there was nothing left standing. The result: not guilty.

Because sometimes all the state brings to trial is drama — and that's not enough to take away someone's liberty.

Meet Gabe & Ana — better known as Belligerent & Sneaky — a powerhouse public defender trial duo who prove once again why you never plead guilty too soon.

In this case, their client nearly pled guilty at arraignment, but thanks to a twist from the judge, the case went to trial. That's where Gabe & Ana worked their magic, exposing the cracks in the state's theory and securing a not guilty verdict.

It's a reminder that sometimes justice comes from skill, sometimes from strategy — and sometimes from a little courtroom chaos.

You've Got Mail, Cuz – When Emails Wreck the State's Case

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 17 Sep 2023 19:18:24 GMT

Family drama, digital receipts, and a whole lot of reasonable doubt. In this episode, a cousin accused her own cousin of sexual assault — but the prosecution's story unraveled thanks to a treasure trove of emails between the two.

What started as a serious allegation turned into a courtroom demolition, as the defense used the inbox to shred the state's theory piece by piece. By the time the jury saw the messages, there was only one outcome left: not guilty.

Because sometimes the best witness isn't a person at all — it's Gmail.

This not guilty comes straight out of Oregon, where a young couple's fight over some weed spiraled into an alleged domestic violence case. The state thought they had drama on their side, but what they didn't have was proof.

Enter two Oregon public defenders who were equal parts tenacious and innovative. With sharp trial strategy and creative advocacy, they showed the jury the truth and walked their client right out the door.

And bonus — this episode marks the debut of Loren, our newest co-host, bringing fresh energy to the ANG crew.

Murder-ring The Prosecution's Theory – When a Teen Faces Murder and Walks Free

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 21 Aug 2023 01:06:42 GMT

This week we've got a double feature: guest co-host Hunter Parnell from Public Defenseless and guest public defender Hillary from Salt Lake City.

Hillary shares the story of a murder charge her client faced stemming from when he was just 16 — sitting in a car when the driver shot and killed someone, then blamed him for it. The state built their entire case around guilt by association, but Hillary dismantled it piece by piece until the jury had only one option: not guilty.

It's a tale of teenage scapegoating, prosecutorial overreach, and a defender who refused to let the system railroad her client.

Half Nelson, Full Acquittal – When Wrestling Moves Don't Equal Felonies

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 23 Jul 2023 17:21:51 GMT

This episode features two outstanding public defenders who team up for a case straight out of a law school exam and a wrestling mat. Their client — a former state wrestling champ — was accused of assault after putting his lover in a half nelson. But here's the twist: he did it to stop her from harming herself.

The prosecution tried to turn a life-saving move into a criminal act, but the defense wasn't having it. With skill, teamwork, and some mat-side strategy, they showed the jury what really happened. The result? Not guilty.

Because sometimes a wrestling hold is just that — a hold — and not every half nelson belongs in a courtroom.

Public Defender Ali Siddiqi takes center stage in this episode, pulling off one of his sharpest tricks yet: walking his client on a sexual battery charge the state swore they had nailed down.

Some people are just touchy-feely, some aren't — and Ali showed the jury exactly why his client didn't belong in the latter category. With skillful advocacy and a little courtroom magic, he made the prosecution's case vanish right before their eyes.

Because when the state tries to turn smoke into fire, sometimes all it takes is a little sleight of hand to reveal the truth.

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 25 Jun 2023 22:00:00 GMT

Former public defender Patrick Wilson brings us one of his all-time favorite trials — a case where his client faced multiple counts of attempted murder and arson, with the state pushing for life without parole. The supposed crime? Accidentally causing a fire in his ex-girlfriend's house.

With sharp advocacy, Patrick dismantled the prosecution's "murder-by-fire" theory and showed the jury that what happened was an accident, not a crime. The result: not guilty on everything.

It's part thriller, part legal clinic, and all the reason you'll be shouting at the end: "How did the state even think this was a case?"

This one's got it all: a gang murder prosecution, shady cops hiding evidence, an OG gangster out of central casting testifying for the defense, and a judge making prosecution-friendly rulings like it was their side hustle.

But even with the deck stacked, Public Defender Jimmy showed the jury the truth: this was self-defense, not murder. With grit, skill, and fearless cross, he tore down the state's case until the only verdict left was not guilty.

Fools Get Stabbed – When a Jury Schools the Judge on Self-Defense

Another Not Guilty — Tue, 30 May 2023 00:08:18 GMT

Three-time ANG guest Ania returns with another trial defense masterpiece. Her client was accused of stabbing a man, but the truth was clear: it was self-defense. The twist? The judge refused to give a self-defense instruction.

But the jury wasn't having it. They saw through the state's case, ignored the judge's attempt to tilt the scales, and delivered justice on their own terms. As one juror basically told the court: "Hell no, Judge — we the people aren't taking away this man's liberty just because you said so."

Ania's sharp advocacy and the jury's courage came together for the only right result: not guilty.

Que Happens – When Lying Witnesses and Bad Policing Collide

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 15 May 2023 04:15:03 GMT

Public Defender Adella steps into trial and takes on a case built on the shakiest of foundations: lying children and sloppy police work. With sharp advocacy and relentless cross, she showed the jury that the truth was nowhere in the state's file. The result? Not guilty.

And this one was a true team effort — shout out to our good buddy Walid, who handled the prelim and got the charges reduced to a misdemeanor before trial.

Because when the government's case is all smoke and no fire, the defense just has to open the windows and let the truth in.

1 Tequila, 2 Tequila, 3 Tequila … Not Guilty! – When Faulty Science Meets a Savvy Defense

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 30 Apr 2023 19:15:10 GMT

Public Defender Kyle takes on the state's "slam dunk" DUI case — complete with blood draws and breath tests that looked airtight on paper. But Kyle knew better. With sharp cross and expert knowledge, he showed the jury just how faulty and unreliable the evidence really was.

And to make this episode even more fun, comedienne Ashley Ray (TV, I Say w/Ashley Ray) joins as co-host, adding her sharp wit and fresh perspective to the trial breakdown.

Because when the state serves up weak science, sometimes all it takes is a strong defense — and maybe a shot of tequila — to end up with a not guilty.

The Scorned Preacher's Daughter – When Family Drama Turns Into False Accusations

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 16 Apr 2023 21:03:56 GMT

Here's some free legal advice: if you ever find out your wife is sending nude photos and having affairs with members of your church, don't send those pictures to the other wives. Or as co-host George put it: "It won't end well."

What followed was straight out of a soap opera. A preacher's daughter turned scorned wife, and suddenly their own daughter made up allegations of inappropriate touching against the husband. The case hit the courtroom, but the jury wasn't buying it.

This episode is wild, messy, and ultimately victorious — ending in a not guilty that proves truth can outlast even the ugliest lies.

Depraved Murder Prosecution – When Tragedy Meets Overreach

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 02 Apr 2023 23:15:21 GMT

This episode brings you both sides of the defense table: Public Defender Mark, the trial lawyer, and his client Victor, who was unjustly charged with second-degree murder after the tragic accidental shooting death of his girlfriend.

The state tried to twist an accident into a crime, stacking the deck with a charge that never fit the facts. Mark recounts how he fought tooth and nail in trial, while Victor bravely shares his own story of being dragged through a system determined to make him a criminal.

It's a powerful look at how prosecutors can weaponize tragedy — and how a strong defense can shine a light on the truth.

No Felony, No Murder – When the State's Case Trips Over Itself

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 19 Dec 2021 23:14:33 GMT

The prosecution tried to spin felony charges into a murder case — but the story didn't match the facts, and the evidence didn't back the hype. What they wanted was a conviction. What they got was a defense that shredded their case from every angle.

With sharp trial tactics and fearless advocacy, the defense exposed how flimsy the theory really was. By the end, the jury sent a clear message: no felony, no murder, no guilty verdict.

Because when the state tries to overreach, sometimes the best defense is reminding everyone what's actually on trial.

Grab The Bull By The Balls – When Police Brutality Backfires in Court

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 21 Nov 2021 23:10:40 GMT

Prya, a public defender out of West Palm Beach, Florida, takes us inside a police brutality jury trial where the state charged her client with battery on a peace officer — even though he was the one being abused.

Through fearless cross-examination and unshakable advocacy, Prya turned the tables, showing the jury exactly who the aggressors really were. By the end, the only thing left on the state's side was a bruised ego.

Because when the cops bring the bull, sometimes the defense has to grab the case by the horns — and the balls — to win not guilty.

Scat Burglar – When the State's Case Goes Down the Toilet

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 10 Oct 2021 22:49:55 GMT

Yeah, that's right — we're going there. The "evidence" in this case was literally left behind in someone's bathroom. The state tried to pin it on Public Defender Sierra's client, but the jury wasn't buying it.

With humor, grit, and sharp cross-examination, Sierra showed that while the real burglar may have left something incriminating in the toilet, it sure as hell wasn't her client.

Because sometimes justice means flushing away the prosecution's worst ideas.

Unsworn Kids Say The Darndest Things – When Testimony Doesn't Hold Up

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 20 Sep 2021 00:00:00 GMT

Two New York public defenders, Rob and James, step into trial to defend their young client against charges of inappropriate sexual conduct with a minor — charges the government seemed to conjure out of thin air.

The state leaned on questionable testimony, but Rob and James tore it apart, exposing how flimsy, unreliable, and downright absurd it was. Piece by piece, they showed the jury what was really happening: this was less about facts and more about the government trying to force a story that didn't exist.

The result? A not guilty that proves kids may say the darndest things, but the truth still wins in court.

Bemidji PDs To The Rescue! – When Key Evidence Gets Tossed Overboard

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 08 Aug 2021 19:07:38 GMT

Two badass public defenders out of Bemidji, Minnesota, show how it's done. Mid-trial, they convinced the judge to exclude the prosecution's key evidence, and just like that — dismissal. Case closed.

But this episode isn't just about trial fireworks. Along the way, you'll hear their stories of crisscrossing Minnesota to visit their client — plus a few side quests involving rescue dogs and kittens. Because sometimes justice looks like a courtroom win, and sometimes it looks like saving puppies on the weekend.

Bemidji PDs to the rescue, indeed.

The Shaggy Defense – When Eyewitnesses Say "It Wasn't Me"

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 12 Jul 2021 00:00:00 GMT

Two powerhouse public defenders from Chicago, Kaitlin and Radiance, step into court to defend their young client against an attempted murder charge that carried up to 31 years in prison. The state leaned on shaky eyewitness IDs, but the defense showed just how faulty and unreliable they really were.

Piece by piece, Kaitlin and Radiance dismantled the prosecution's story until the jury saw the truth: the case didn't hold up. The result? Not guilty.

Because when the state's whole case is "it was him," sometimes the best defense is proving — it wasn't me.

A Father's Absence Makes The Defense Grow Fonder – When the State Brings Drama Instead of Proof

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 14 Jun 2021 00:00:00 GMT

Public Defender Anne steps into trial where family drama took center stage. The allegations? Vandalizing her baby daddy's car window and assaulting his longtime girlfriend. The supposed victim? He didn't even bother to show up and testify.

Anne seized on the holes, exposed the shaky testimony that did make it in, and showed the jury exactly why this case was more soap opera than solid prosecution. The result: not guilty.

Because when the state tries to put family squabbles on trial without the key player, it's less "justice system" and more "daytime TV."

FBI: Federal Bureau Of Instigation – When the Feds Try to Script a Crime

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 03 May 2021 00:00:00 GMT

An alleged murder-for-hire plot gone sideways. A shady FBI confidential informant. And a 70-year-old man, Mr. Malavi, caught in the middle.

The feds thought they had themselves a blockbuster sting, but what they really had was entrapment dressed up as "investigation." From undercover agents to wild recordings, this case shows how far the government will go to create a crime when there isn't one.

The facts are outrageous, the tactics are messy, and the jury? Well, they had the final say.

Don't Meth With The Neighborhood Watch – When Cops Overreach and the Defense Pushes Back

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 19 Apr 2021 00:00:00 GMT

From Arizona comes a wild trial story of aggravated DUI and assault on peace officers — charges that could've sent a man away for years. Enter Public Defender Charlie, backed up by his cool-as-ice paralegal Dan.

Together, they tore apart the state's case, exposed its cracks, and showed the jury just how flimsy the accusations really were. By the end, what started as the prosecution's attempt to paint a "dangerous criminal" ended as a complete not guilty.

Because when the neighborhood watch gets nosy, and the state piles on bogus charges, sometimes it takes a defender and a sidekick to remind everyone what real justice looks like.

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 05 Apr 2021 00:00:00 GMT

Public Defender Evan from Solano County walks into trial with a client staring down a heavy prison charge — and a jury already thinking he did it. Not exactly the best accommodations. But with skill, strategy, and a little courtroom magic, Evan got the stars to align for a not guilty.

And to make this episode even better, comedienne Ashley Ray (from TV, I Say w/Ashley Ray) co-hosts, bringing fresh perspective and hilarious commentary to the mix.

Because when the state tries to check your client into prison, sometimes it only takes one badass defender to upgrade the whole outcome to five stars.

The Good, The Bad, But Not Criminal – When the State Brings Back a Mustache-Twirling Villain

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 22 Mar 2021 00:00:00 GMT

Two San Francisco public defenders return with the same client from the season 4 opener — but this time the stakes are even higher. After beating the charges last round, the client is arrested again, now facing bogus attempted murder charges. And who's leading the charge? None other than the same malicious, vindictive, mustache-wearing prosecutor who just won't quit.

Enter Martina, trial lawyer extraordinaire, who breaks down the case with true-crime detail and fearless advocacy. By the time she's done, it's clear why she's a premier public defender and why her client wasn't guilty then — and isn't guilty now.

Because in this courtroom saga, the mustache is bad, the case is worse, but the defense? Absolutely unbeatable.

Pornstacchio, "I've Got No Facts To Hold Him Down" – Two Trials, Two Not Guiltys

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 08 Mar 2021 02:02:03 GMT

Two trials. Two not guilty verdicts. Two San Francisco public defenders showing the state how it's done.

In this episode, Public Defender Ilona takes us inside a case where her client was the victim of police brutality. Ilona not only defended her client but also testified as a witness — putting herself on the stand and surviving cross-examination from a prosecutor rocking a mustache so ridiculous it deserved its own sidebar.

From police lies to mustache theatrics, this one has it all: vindication, advocacy, and the sweet sound of not guilty … twice.

Nothin But A G-Thang – When Knowing the Law Beats Knowing the Lyrics

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 25 Oct 2020 22:57:08 GMT

Drunk in public — dismissed! This public defender rolled into court ready to school the judge, prosecutor, and even the arresting officer on what the law actually says. Turns out, knowing the rules better than everyone else in the room can make the state's whole case vanish faster than a bar tab at last call.

This episode is proof that sometimes the best defense isn't a flashy argument — it's simply reminding the courtroom what the law really requires. And on this day, the state learned the hard way: it ain't nuthin' but a not guilty thang.

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 12 Oct 2020 00:00:00 GMT

Public Defender Carl — a grizzled veteran of the courtroom — takes us on a ride where family lies and a stick almost cost his client their life. Facing the possibility of a life sentence, Carl put decades of trial savvy on display, exposing contradictions and showing the jury that the story the state was selling just didn't add up.

By the end, the only thing sticking was the not guilty verdict.

Because when a lying family tries to frame your client, you need a defender who's been around the block and knows exactly how to knock their story down.

ANG Special Edition: Organized, Relentless & Ruthless – When Public Defenders Hold Power Accountable

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 05 Oct 2020 00:00:00 GMT

In this special edition episode, we hear from Colin, a public defender in Snohomish County, who decided enough was enough. After watching a sheriff abuse his power and betray his community's trust, Colin didn't just complain — he organized.

He formed a committee, rallied other lawyers, and launched a recall effort to hold an elected official accountable. It's a behind-the-scenes look at how defense attorneys can be more than just courtroom warriors — they can be catalysts for systemic change.

Shout out to Colin and the other lawyers who prove that when public defenders get organized, even sheriffs can't hide from accountability.

Sleeping With The Frenemy – When the Star Witness Trips Over Their Own Story

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 20 Sep 2020 23:59:35 GMT

Public Defender [name here] turns a case that looked like it could hinge on one complaining witness into a masterclass in credibility takedown. The witness had baggage — including a little problem with controlled substances — and by the end of trial, the jury saw the truth: this was less about guilt and more about smoke and mirrors.

Sharp cross-examination, pointed strategy, and a flair for exposing contradictions left the state with nothing but doubt. The result? Not guilty.

Because when your "star witness" can't even get their own story straight, the case is already sleeping with the enemy.

TW: charges discussed in this case are sensitive and of a sexual nature.

El Primer Pescador Latino De Los Angeles – When a Boat Sinks but the Case Doesn't

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 07 Sep 2020 01:00:46 GMT

Sinking ships and courtroom dreams collide in this one-of-a-kind trial out of the LA ports. The first Latino fisherman of Los Angeles found himself staring down criminal charges after his boat went under — but the case wasn't nearly as seaworthy as the prosecution wanted the jury to believe.

Enter a young public defender, trying their very first jury trial — something they'd been dreaming of since childhood. With sharp research, fearless advocacy, and some rookie fire, they steered the case away from disaster and into not guilty waters.

Because in this courtroom, the only thing sinking was the state's theory.

Zero To Not Guilty In 1.37 Seconds – Beating the State at Their Own Crash Test

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 23 Aug 2020 23:30:57 GMT

Police assault. Pandemic courtroom. The state thought their "slam dunk" piece of evidence would floor the defense — but they didn't count on one savvy public defender bringing in an accident reconstruction expert to blow it all up.

With experience, strategy, and a touch of flair, the defense turned the prosecution's best shot into their biggest flop. The result? A lightning-fast not guilty that left the jury with no doubt and the state spinning its wheels.

Because when the cops overcharge, the defense can still go from zero to not guilty faster than the state can shift gears.

Black Friday Steals Covid Current Events – When the State Discounts Due Process

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 09 Aug 2020 22:00:00 GMT

The prosecution rolled out its usual holiday special: grease the wheels of mass incarceration and skip that whole "proof beyond a reasonable doubt" thing. But the local public defender knew the case, knew the community, and knew exactly how to stop the state from turning a flimsy accusation into a prison sentence.

Think of it as a courtroom doorbuster: the state tried to sell guilt at a bargain price, but the defense wasn't buying. In the end, the jury walked away with a not guilty — and the state was left holding its unwanted merchandise.

Liberty Does Dallas – A Trial in the Shadow of Protest and Pandemic

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 27 Jul 2020 00:03:36 GMT

Everything our country was wrestling with landed in this one jury trial: racial profiling, police brutality, and the backdrop of a nation in the middle of a pandemic and protest.

The prosecution tried to run business as usual, but the defense wasn't about to let systemic injustice hide behind procedure. This trial became more than just a fight for one person's liberty — it was a reflection of the struggle for fairness in a country on edge.

Dallas may be the setting, but the story speaks to every courtroom in America.

Saw Me Bangin' In The Honda (It Wasn't Me) – When the State's Theory Goes Off Track

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 12 Jul 2020 23:45:39 GMT

Santa Clara Alternate Deputy Public Defender Sajid Khan takes us inside a gang murder trial where the prosecution's theory was as bogus as their evidence. From pretrial fights to appellate relief, Sajid battled every step of the way to keep his innocent client from being buried under junk charges and junk logic.

But at the end of the day, it came down to a jury staring down a case that never added up. Was it the car? The gang? The story? Or just the state trying to make "it wasn't me" into "guilty anyway"?

This one's a ride from start to finish — appellate twists, trial turns, and a reminder that sometimes the biggest gang in the room is the prosecution itself.

A fiery young public defender steps up for a client accused of battery after a bar brawl broke out during the Dodgers' playoff run. The scene? October, beer flowing, and every suspect rocking a beard and a Dodger jersey — basically the world's worst lineup for eyewitness identification.

In trial, the defense cut through the foam and showed the jury that tough talk and beer buzzes don't add up to guilt. By the end, the only thing on tap was a not guilty verdict.

Because when everyone looks the same, the state better have more than a hunch and a hangover.

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 04 May 2020 00:22:51 GMT

Public Defender Michael puts on a clinic in trial advocacy when his client is accused of maliciously setting fire to… a palm tree. Yes, that's right — the prosecution turned a crispy plant into a felony.

Michael's research, quick wit, and sharp cross-examination exposed just how absurd the case really was. By the end, the jury saw what he did: this wasn't arson, this was nonsense.

Hakuna Matata – No Worries, Just a Murder Trial (While 38 Weeks Pregnant)

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 19 Apr 2020 23:13:21 GMT

Self-defense. A murder charge. A jury trial in Washington State. Oh, and did we mention the public defender was 38 weeks pregnant when it all began? Talk about labor pains.

The prosecution tried to paint the case as cold-blooded murder. But the defense showed the jury what it really was: a fight for survival. Between medical testimony, cross-examination fireworks, and a baby bump in the well of the court, this trial was anything but ordinary.

Because sometimes zealous advocacy means proving your client's innocence and proving you can do it while timing contractions.

New England Clam Chatter – When Tough Talk Turns to Acquittal

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 06 Apr 2020 01:21:33 GMT

From the land of chowder and championship teams comes a Connecticut defense attorney with a "not guilty" tale. The client? All tough-guy talk on the streets but, as it turns out, it was all just chatter.

In court, the state tried to spin the chatter into criminal intent. Instead, the defense cracked the case wide open, proving that sometimes words are just noise — and not every loudmouth is a lawbreaker.

Because in the courtroom, clams stay shut, but reasonable doubt talks loud.

Miscarriage Of Justice – When Science Meets the Courtroom (and Wins)

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 15 Mar 2020 23:55:05 GMT

Michael — back for his third appearance and still an ANG all-star — recounts a second-degree murder trial where the alleged victim was a fetus. The facts were tragic, but the cause of death was natural, not criminal.

What could have been a story of heartbreak turned into a story of overreach, as the state tried to turn biology into blame. Along the way, Michael mixes in fascinating medical testimony, defense antics, and the kind of anecdotes only he can deliver.

This is one of those trials where you'll laugh, you'll learn, and you'll question just how far prosecutors will go to chase a conviction.

I Shod the Sheriff – But I Did Not Lie on the Stand

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 02 Mar 2020 01:00:00 GMT

This isn't your usual trial story — it's told straight from the defendant's own perspective. Accused of robbery and assault with a hate-crime twist, he chose to fight back, risk his liberty, and stand up to a lying deputy sheriff with an ego too fragile to survive cross-examination.

What unfolds is a true jury trial tale of courage, police misconduct, and a system that tried to break someone for daring to challenge authority. Spoiler: the sheriff may have been shod, but the lies didn't stand a chance.

Oops I Did It Again – When a Motion Breaks the Case (and the Prosecutor)

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 17 Feb 2020 01:20:07 GMT

Public Defender Shahan steps into trial and drops a tactical motion in limine so good that the witness couldn't handle it — and neither could the prosecutor. What followed? A mistrial.

But instead of justice, the state's blunders turned the courtroom into a circus act, with Shahan running circles around the opposition. It's a wild ride where skill meets chaos, and the only thing more off-key than the charges was the prosecution's performance.

Because when Shahan hits play on trial tactics, the state just can't keep up with the beat.

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 27 Jan 2020 03:25:02 GMT

Straight out of Ohio, Public Defender Kevin steps into trial with his client staring down serious drug trafficking charges. The prosecution thought their star witness would seal the deal — but instead, Kevin turned that testimony into confetti.

Piece by piece, he cast doubt, shredded credibility, and showed the jury that the only thing really in the box was reasonable doubt.

Because when the state's case hinges on one witness, sometimes all it takes is one badass cross to close the lid for good.

The Blind Oppressing The Blind – When Justice Tries to Look Away

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 13 Jan 2020 03:34:05 GMT

Public Defender Christine steps in to defend her elderly blind client, who the state claimed somehow assaulted both a firefighter and a police officer. That's right — the prosecution wanted the jury to believe a blind senior citizen was a one-man wrecking crew.

As if that wasn't absurd enough, an officer nearly killed the man while he was in the hospital. But instead of justice, the state doubled down and stacked up seven felony charges.

Christine wasn't having it. She flipped the script, exposed the nonsense, and walked her client out with a full acquittal. Because when the system can't see straight, you need a defender with perfect vision.

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 25 Nov 2019 02:13:07 GMT

The state accused an uncle of the most serious crimes imaginable — abuse of his own nieces. But in trial, the defense showed the jury that the real abuse was happening at the hands of their father.

With sharp advocacy and fearless cross-examination, the defense exposed the truth and revealed how easily an innocent man can be turned into a villain when the wrong story is told. It's a reminder that justice isn't always about what's alleged — it's about what can actually be proven.

Mind Your LGBT's & Q's – When Bias Becomes the Evidence

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 11 Nov 2019 04:36:31 GMT

What happens when prosecutors put someone's identity on trial instead of their actions? This case shows just how far bias can twist the justice system.

In this episode, the state tried to stack charges while leaning on stereotypes, hoping prejudice would do the heavy lifting. Instead, the defense peeled back the layers of nonsense, showing the jury how dangerous it is when accusations are fueled by who a person is rather than what they've done.

Because in court, you should be judged by evidence — not identity.

If You Are Ridin' Dirty And You Know It Cuff Your Hands – When a Traffic Stop Turns Into a Circus

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 28 Oct 2019 02:06:42 GMT

What started as a simple stop quickly spiraled into a full-blown circus act: accusations flying, cuffs snapping, and the prosecution swearing they had a "slam dunk."

But trials aren't talent shows, and the defense wasn't about to let the state juggle bad evidence, shaky witnesses, and police overreach into a conviction. This episode takes you behind the scenes of a case where the only thing dirtier than the accusation was the state's playbook.

Because if you're ridin' dirty, you better hope the cops are cleaner than this.

May The Centrifugal Force Be With You – PD vs. the Kitchen Sink of Charges

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 30 Sep 2019 03:31:11 GMT

Attempted murder. Carjacking. Criminal threats. Assault. And pretty much every other charge the prosecution could pull out of a hat. This was their "everything but the kitchen sink" case — a desperate spin cycle of accusations.

But when the state throws in the whole catalog of crimes hoping something will stick, sometimes all they really do is make the jury dizzy. This episode takes you inside a trial where the centrifugal force of overcharging was no match for sharp defense and clear-eyed truth.

Because when prosecutors overplay their hand, the force is definitely not with them.

The High Cost of Eating Meat – When Cops Act Like a Street Gang

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 16 Sep 2019 02:06:17 GMT

Police brutality, false arrest, and a department straight out of a Scorsese script. Civil rights attorney Greg Peacock takes us into the desert, where a rogue police department wasn't protecting and serving — they were hustling and terrorizing like a full-blown criminal street gang.

In this episode, Greg breaks down the trial, the discovery process, and how the community was shaken by officers who treated badges like gang colors. It's a wild ride through misconduct so brazen you'll be asking: who exactly was on trial here?

Psych Meds & Reefer & Beer, Oh My! – When the State Mixes a Cocktail of Nonsense

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 02 Sep 2019 02:09:34 GMT

Public Defender Peter steps into court where the prosecution has brewed up a sloppy mix of psych meds, reefer, and beer to charge his client. On paper, it looked like a strong cocktail for conviction. In reality, it was more like flat soda with no fizz.

With sharp cross-examination and a knack for exposing contradictions, Peter shows the jury that the state's case is less about facts and more about fantasy bartending. Witnesses stumble, cops clash in their testimony, and suddenly the prosecution's "open and shut" case looks more like an open tab at closing time.

Because when the state serves up nonsense, Peter makes sure the jury sends it back.

Pin The Gun On The Homie – When the State Plays Musical Chairs With Evidence

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 18 Aug 2019 22:00:00 GMT

Public Defender Sully, a 30-year veteran of the courtroom, takes what looks like an "open and shut" gun possession case for the prosecution and flips it on its head.

Instead of folding under the weight of police testimony, Sully proves that the gun wasn't his client's at all — it was planted. With decades of trial savvy, Sully shreds the officers' credibility, exposing lies, contradictions, and the state's desperate attempt to stick a weapon on the wrong man.

This isn't just a defense. It's a master class in dismantling the prosecution's playbook.

Is That a Burrito in Your Pocket …?

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 24 Jun 2019 01:00:56 GMT

The cops thought they had their case wrapped up, as neatly as foil around a burrito. They were wrong.

This episode of Another Not Guilty dives into the outrageous prosecution of a client accused of concealing evidence in the most ridiculous way imaginable. The state's theory? That what was supposedly hidden in a burrito was proof of guilt. But when the stakes are life and liberty, flimsy claims wrapped in bravado don't cut it.

Enter the public defender — [Attorney name not found] — who refuses to let this case become another easy conviction. From the first hearing, the attorney sees through the state's weak narrative. Instead of letting the jury swallow the prosecution's story whole, the defender peels it apart ingredient by ingredient.

Cross-examination becomes a battlefield. Every cop's claim is tested, every assumption unwrapped. Witnesses who thought they were delivering solid testimony crumble under the defender's relentless questioning. The supposed evidence? Turns out it was about as solid as a soggy tortilla.

But this is more than courtroom comedy — though the absurdity of the state's arguments delivers plenty of laughs. It's a reminder of how often our system treats people like they're disposable, assuming guilt from the start. It's a case where the public defender's persistence, sharp wit, and command of the facts flipped the script.

By the end, the jury could see what was really happening: a client railroaded by a system more concerned with easy wins than actual justice. And thanks to fearless lawyering, this story ends not with punishment, but with the two sweetest words in the English language: not guilty.

Confidential Misinformant …? When the state hides behind lies.

Another Not Guilty — Sun, 09 Jun 2019 23:56:43 GMT

Two parts, now combined as one incredible fight for justice.

The state thought it had the upper hand with a "confidential informant" whose word was supposed to carry the case. They banked on secrecy, on hiding the source, on making the jury believe without question. But justice doesn't work on blind faith — and [Attorney name not found] wasn't about to let this case slide.

From the start, the defense dismantled the prosecution's smoke and mirrors. What was billed as confidential turned out to be misinformant. Under relentless cross-examination, the so-called informant's credibility collapsed: contradictions piled up, motives for lying came to light, and the prosecution's carefully staged performance fell apart in front of the jury.

The comedy of the moment wasn't lost — watching the state cling to a sinking ship, scrambling for answers that never came. Yet the tragedy was just as clear: how close the system came to convicting someone on the word of an unreliable witness, shielded by secrecy.

By combining Parts 1 and 2 into one story, you'll hear the full arc — from the state's smug confidence to their unraveling, and from the client's terror to the relief of hearing the words "not guilty." It's proof once again that public defenders are the last line of defense against injustice, armed with wit, skill, and relentless dedication to the truth.

A Gentleman's Duel Lost In Translation - A fearless public defender battles mistranslations & mayhem

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 03 Jun 2019 03:10:38 GMT

What happens when the truth gets lost—not in evidence, but in translation?

In this outrageous yet high-stakes trial, a public defender faces a courtroom circus where interpreters fumble, testimony mangles meaning, and cultural nuances get twisted into damaging "facts." The prosecution pushes ahead anyway, more interested in a conviction than clarity.

Enter our defender, armed with sharp wit and relentless cross-examination. Piece by piece, he exposes the mistranslations, shows how the state's "evidence" crumbles under scrutiny, and reminds the jury that justice can't be delivered if nobody knows what was actually said.

It's a duel of words, a comedy of errors, and a testament to the courage of a public defender who refuses to let language barriers become prison bars. When the dust settles, his client walks free—proving that even when the system stumbles, truth has a way of cutting through.

Told with equal parts grit and humor, this episode captures the absurdity, humanity, and heroism that define public defense.

In "When The Kobe's Fit You Must Acquit," the stakes are not just legal—they're cultural, media‑charged, and packed with expectation. When allegations against a famous name dominate headlines, it's easy for justice to be lost in the noise.

Public defender [Attorney's Name] steps into that storm. They don't shy away from the glare—they challenge assumptions, dissect inconsistencies, and force the case to adhere to law rather than reputation. With sharp cross‑examination, close attention to prosecution missteps, and a fierce commitment to the presumption of innocence, the attorney shows how not every accusation can survive under scrutiny.

This episode honors the defenders who protect justice when celebrity tries to dictate the outcome—and proves that sometimes acquittal requires not just skill, but courage.

Don't Bring A Gun To A Knife Fight - When self‑defense becomes a stage.

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 20 May 2019 00:10:46 GMT

In "Don't Bring A Gun To A Knife Fight," a murder case puts the spotlight on self‑defense—both real and assumed. The defense attorney, one of LA's best, doesn't just argue in court, he recreates the scene (yes, even hauling in the actual couch from the incident) to show how the client was forced into a split‑second decision. With partner defense counsel, he literally acts out what happened to expose how the state's case misrepresented the danger and the behavior. What should have looked like a clear cut prosecution becomes a complex battle of context, fear, and what the law allows when someone fights back.

This is courtroom artistry backed by legal skill. A story about how effective defense comes not just from what is said—but from what is shown, understood, and believed.

The Class That Cried Wolf - Seven child abuse charges. One public defender. Zero tolerance

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 13 May 2019 03:42:05 GMT

In "The Class That Cried Wolf," public defender Jacquelyn takes on a harrowing child abuse case—one with seven separate charges, each relying heavily on the way detectives questioned young children involved. The prosecution's case is strong in number, but weak in method.

Jacquelyn zeroes in on interview techniques: how questions are phrased, how suggestive prompts can taint memories, and how authority figures can unintentionally lead answers. Through calm cross‑examination, expert insights, and a readiness to hold the state accountable, she shows how flawed technique can dismantle what looks like a sure conviction.

This episode underscores the power of defense attorneys who refuse to let method be ignored, who fight for truth when victims, systems, and assumptions collide—and who secure justice by refusing to accept "everyone did things the wrong way."

It's defense that doesn't just push back—it outsmarts, outworks, and outlasts. Humor sharpens the edge. Strategy steadies the fight. And justice becomes possible—not just for the client, but for what defending magnificently looks like.

The Damned If You Do, The Damned If You Don't - When the system punishes you for either choice.

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 29 Apr 2019 02:36:20 GMT

In "The Damned If You Do, The Damned If You Don't," the case puts the client between a rock and a hard place: whatever decision they—or the state—make, they lose. Maybe it's about complying and being used against; or resisting and facing harsher punishment.

This fearless public defender sees past the trap. Through questioning false choices, exposing coercion, and giving voice to the client's agency, they challenge the narrative that defendants must choose the lesser of two wrongs. It's not just defense—it's setting a precedent for dignity, truth, and fair chance.

When law enforcement lies under oath or in the field, it corrupts trust, evidence, and outcomes.

Through meticulous cross-examination, emotional impact, and the courage to stand when most would submit, this defender shows how resisting isn't just about refusing physical arrest—it's about resisting lies masquerading as performance. With wit, precision, and steely resolve, justice gets a fighting chance.

A True Patriot's Verdict - When serving your country isn't enough to earn justice.

Another Not Guilty — Mon, 08 Apr 2019 17:21:50 GMT

In "A True Patriot's Verdict," the case is steeped in symbolism and expectation. The client is someone labeled a patriot—but that title becomes a weapon used against them.

This public defender refuses to let that be enough. With fierce legal strategy, proof where it ought to matter, and a commitment to separating myth from fact, the defender fights to make the law matter more than applause. The verdict becomes a stand—not just for the client, but for truth, justice, and what it really means to defend the defenseless.
