Your text messages can follow you into the courtroom. In this episode of Law on Edge, California trial attorney Eric Ganci breaks down the real case Adoption of X.D., where a single threatening text message became pivotal evidence that changed the outcome of an adoption dispute.

Eric explains how courts authenticate text messages, when hearsay exceptions apply, why prejudicial evidence is often still admissible, and how digital communication can be used to prove state of mind. He also shares strategy tips for trial lawyers and warnings for anyone who sends messages in the heat of the moment.

Law on Edge gives you clear, practical insight into how modern courts view digital evidence and why your phone is often Exhibit A.

When your boss is the government, your rights don’t work the same.

In this episode of Punching the Clock, employment attorney Mila Arutunian sits down with former correctional officer Hector Bravo — better known online as @HectorBravoUnhinged and @ThatPrisonGuard — to expose the hidden realities of working in law enforcement.

From forced interrogations and limited free speech to retaliation, mental health struggles, and whistleblower retaliation, this episode uncovers the paradox of police work — how those enforcing the law often lose their own rights in the process.

They break down landmark cases like Garrity v. New Jersey and O’Connor v. Ortega, explain how officers can be legally coerced to talk, and explore the trauma, burnout, and retaliation that come from speaking out.

If you’ve ever wondered what happens inside the system — this is the one to watch.
