In Alexandria, a 9-1-1 call prompts a welfare check on a man in mental distress--Paul Behan had lost his wife and job, and had been drinking. Paul answered the door with a rifle under his chin, and a tense standoff began. Officers pleaded to save Paul from himself-- but should they have been there in there in the first place? Being mentally unwell isn't against the law, and if no one else is in danger, should police take the risk?
Actual 9-1-1 dispatcher Jon plays a phone call made every day in this country: a call for someone passed out inside a car. This time in Phoenix Arizona. What are the potential problems and dangers? Next, actual cop Drew Breasy walks you through how the police respond: first to check welfare of the driver, but after she refuses to comply and attempts to leave, how the response has to escalate. But why did this have to happen? And what is the shocking turn of events that would have made her death a tragedy?
In this special Aftershow, Jon gets it all off his chest-- is Donald Trump going to be a fascist in his next term? Without having to worry about appeal to the voters a fourth time, Trump could go on a full blown "revenge tour." But what does that mean? Will political opponents be jailed? Will radical ideology sweep the country? Will rights be curtailed? Jon also opines on Kamala: Was she REALLY the worst veep ever? And did Biden vote for Trump? For three hours, Jon talks the election and the changes to come responding eventually to live chats from the audience. Enjoy this final breakdown of the past 4 years and election result, or if you are burned out-- skip it, and we'll catch you on the next episode.
In Day Five of Sarah Boone's Trial, attorney James Owens' lack of prep time shows as he cross examines State witness Doctor Tonia Werner, a forensic psychiatrist practicing since 1998, and asks the doctor to confirm Sarah's battered spouse syndrome (BSS) and PTSD. Werner stated she didn't have enough evidence to diagnose PTSD and said most damningly that because Sarah stated at the outset that she and victim Jorge Torres were having a fun day of hide-and-go-seek, Sarah had no reasonable belief she was in imminent danger. This pulled the rug out of Sarah's entire defense-- she has BSS, yes, but it didn't matter during the moment when Sarah zipped the case shut and never let Jorge out again. The state closed out the day with release of 911 calls and body cam footage from domestic violence cases before the murder, and Jon and Drew break it all down live, and take your comments and phone calls.
