For the Defense Season Finale: Ed Shohat for Carlos Lehder

FOR THE DEFENSE SEASON 4 FINALE, EPISODE 8
EDWARD SHOHAT FOR CARLOS LEHDER


It's the Season 4 Finale of For the Defense this morning with the wonderful Ed Shohat for Carlos Lehder -- one of the biggest (and longest -- 7 months!) drug trials in U.S. history.  You can check it out on all podcast platforms (including AppleSpotify and Google. All other platforms can be accessed on this website.) 
 
It's been a really great and fun season, which included:
 
Thank you to all of these great lawyers for sitting down with me this season. Also thank you to Alfred Spellman and to Cliff Bumgardner for all of their support in producing this labor of love.

CLE CREDIT FOR FLORIDA LAWYERS:  If you are a Florida lawyer and have listened to the whole season, you qualify for 8 CLE credits, including 1 technology credit and 1 ethics credit.  Please use course number 2110734N and course title: "For the Defense", with David O.

This opinion should be required reading:

https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cacd.841840/gov.uscourts.cacd.841840.260.0.pdf

The meat of it is in pages 3-11 and then 30-44.

In conclusion, the Court found that:

"Dr. Eastman and President Trump launched a campaign to overturn a democratic election, an action unprecedented in American history. Their campaign was not confined to the ivory tower—it was a COUP in search of a legal theory. The plan spurred violent attacks on the seat of our nation’s government, led to the deaths of several law enforcement officers, and deepened public distrust in our political process . . . If Dr. Eastman and President Trump’s plan had worked, it would have permanently ended the peaceful transition of power, undermining American democracy and the Constitution." at p. 44 ("coup" capitalized for emphasis).

Just one man's opinion.

@233: Nope, the Court's opinion. Which has the force of law unless reversed.

3:02 the force of law? A lot of hyperbole if you ask me.
