  • Lawyer Talk Q&A - Civil Protection Orders: What You Need to Know
    2024/08/05

    Steve gets into the complexities of civil protection orders, specifically within the context of Ohio law.

    If you have your own question and don't feel like calling a law firm, check out lawyertalkpodcast.com. There's an easy interface to submit your question, just like Jill did today, and I'll give you some commentary on it.

    One of the key takeaways from this episode is the distinction between different types of civil protection orders. Steve explains that while some orders are designed to address imminent threats of physical harm, others, like anti-stalking orders, focus on patterns of behavior that cause significant emotional distress.

    He emphasizes that not all negative interactions with neighbors will qualify for such orders. For instance, mere name-calling or rude gestures, without threats of physical harm, typically do not meet the legal standards required for an anti-stalking order.

  • Lawyer Talk Q&A - Can The U.S. Prosecute Crimes on Behalf of Other Countries?
    2024/07/29

    In this episode, Steve tackles the question "Can the U.S. government prosecute crimes on behalf of other countries, and vice versa?"

    The answer is a resounding "Yes, no, maybe," depending on various factors. He explores the nuances of how U.S. laws apply to its citizens abroad and how foreign laws can impact U.S. citizens.

    One of the key highlights is the discussion around the International Criminal Court (ICC). While the ICC aims to bring justice to those who commit heinous crimes like war crimes and crimes against humanity, it doesn't always offer the same protections as the U.S. legal system. This raises important questions about jurisdiction, extradition, and the complexities of international law.

    How about some real-world examples? Remember the case of a U.S. basketball player prosecuted in Russia for drug offenses? This serves as a stark reminder that being a U.S. citizen doesn't grant you immunity from foreign laws. On the flip side, we discuss scenarios where the U.S. can prosecute its citizens for crimes committed abroad, especially in cases involving financial crimes or acts of terrorism.

  • 3 Things You Need To Know: About Grand Juries
    2023/04/03

    The grand jury system is an important aspect of the American criminal justice system. As Steve Palmer, host of the Lawyer Talk podcast, points out in this episode, the grand jury is a group of jurors assembled by the county prosecutor to vote on whether there is enough evidence to indict someone on a felony. However, the grand jury system is not without controversy and questions about its fairness and transparency have been raised.

    One of the biggest issues with the grand jury system is the prosecutor's control over the proceedings. As Steve notes, the prosecutor has control over the proceedings and can present the case in a way that incorporates obvious defenses to prevent an indictment. This means that defendants do not have the same rights they would have in a trial by jury within a courtroom. For example, defendants do not have the right to appear in front of a grand jury and testify in their own case. While some prosecutors may invite defendants to testify, it is not a guaranteed right.

    However, witnesses can be subpoenaed to testify in front of a grand jury and have the right to an attorney. The attorney cannot be present in the grand jury room but can advise the witness outside the room and the witness can assert their Fifth Amendment right to remain silent if their responses may incriminate them. This is an important protection for witnesses who may be intimidated or coerced into providing false or misleading testimony.

    Another issue with the grand jury system is its secrecy. As Steve points out, grand jury proceedings are done in secret and are not a trial by jury within a courtroom. While this secrecy is meant to protect the integrity of the investigation, it also means that defendants and their attorneys do not have access to the evidence presented to the grand jury. This lack of transparency can make it difficult for defendants to mount an effective defense and can contribute to a perception of unfairness.

    Despite these concerns, grand juries have enormous power, particularly on the federal level, and can issue subpoenas for information and testimony. This power has been used in high-profile cases, such as the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. However, the grand jury system remains controversial and questions about its fairness and transparency are likely to continue.

    The grand jury system is an important aspect of the American criminal justice system, but it is not without controversy. As Steve notes, the prosecutor's control over the proceedings, lack of transparency, and limited rights for defendants are all issues that have been raised about the grand jury system. While grand juries have enormous power, there is a need for continued scrutiny and debate about how they are used and whether they are fair and transparent.

  • 3 Things You Need To Know: About The Appeals Process
    2023/03/27

    In the world of law, an appeal is not a retrial. This is a common misconception that many people have when they are facing legal issues. In reality, an appeal is a process that can only argue legal mistakes made during the trial, not the facts of the case. Appellate lawyers have limitations in their access to evidence and are only able to look at the trial record.

    Steve Palmer shares these insights on this episode of the Lawyer Talk podcast. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the limitations of the appellate process, as well as the options available for addressing issues that were not included in the trial record.

    One option for addressing issues outside of the trial record is through post-conviction proceedings. However, these proceedings have different deadlines and requirements than direct appeals, making it crucial for those involved to have a clear understanding of the legal process and their options.

    Winning an appeal does not necessarily mean that the case is won and the individual can go home. Often, it simply means a new trial with different rules in place. It is important to be vigilant about post-conviction remedies and to ask questions to ensure that the attorney understands the deadlines and requirements.

    Understanding the limitations of the appellate process and being aware of post-conviction remedies are crucial for those involved in legal matters. This episode provides valuable insights and information for those seeking a deeper understanding of the legal process.
