OA57: What Football Can Teach Us About Jury Nullification, Antitrust, and Donald Trump - Part 1
Added 2017-04-02 05:01:44 +0000 UTC
Today's episode is part one of a two-part series in which Thomas and Andrew walk through the short-lived history of the USFL, an alternative football league that ran into the bulldozer that is Donald J. Trump. Along the way, we learn about jury nullification, antitrust law, and get some insight into Trump's legal strategies that just might have some relevance today....
First, though, "Breakin' Down the Law" defines "jury nullification" in order to get you prepared to tackle our main story. Afterwards, we answer a question from listener Collin Boots, who wants to know why Andrew was so dismissive of term limits back in Episode 54.
Finally, we end with the answer to Thomas Takes the Bar Exam Question #17 about selling a lemon of a used car in "as is" condition. Remember that TTTBE issues a new question every Friday, followed by the answer on next Tuesday's show.

I'm still not sure I follow you. But, that's OK.

2017-04-05 10:33:43 +0000 UTCDid the question say there was no evidence of an accident on the way to the mechanic? I don't recall. Maybe it's just me... but, I don't think there's enough information in the question to conclude the dealer knew any of it.
