In the July 2026 Current Events breakdown, I tackle a month of massive contrasts in the criminal justice system. From a staggering circumstantial conviction to a monumental victory for constitutional rights. First, I break down the People v. Larry Millete and how an eight-week trial with no body, no murder weapon, and no physical evidence resulted in a first-degree murder conviction in under seven hours. We discuss the dangerous line between convicting someone for toxic behavior and actually proving a case beyond a reasonable doubt.

Then, we pivot to a massive systemic win out of the New Mexico Supreme Court in State v. Causey. We unpack how the court shut down "evidence laundering" across state lines, forcing law enforcement to respect strict constitutional boundaries.

This episode provides a monthly breakdown of significant courtroom events from June 2026, focusing on two major self-defense cases and a Supreme Court ruling. The host, Lucas, analyzes the contrasting verdicts in South Carolina v. Rick Chow and Texas v. Carmelo Anthony, where different juries reached opposite conclusions about when deadly force was justified - with Chow being acquitted after pursuing and shooting a suspected shoplifter who allegedly pointed a gun, while Anthony was convicted of murder and sentenced to 35 years for stabbing a student during a confrontation at a high school football stadium. The episode also covered the Supreme Court's Chetrie v. United States decision, which ruled that geofence warrants requiring tech companies to provide location data for an entire area violate Fourth Amendment protections, and closes by mentioning criminal justice reform efforts to abolish administrative legal fees for defendants.
