Episode Details

Your Heard Tell for Wednesday, 25 May, 2022 is turning down the noise and getting the information we need on the terrible news out of Texas and the school shooting in Uvalde that has left at least 19 children and 2 adults dead. Coming just 10 days after the Buffalo killings we once again find ourselves arguing over familiar ground of why mass shootings happen so often in America, and why just arguing over guns, policy, legislation, and the motives of the individual shooters aren't getting us anywhere near reducing/preventing these terrible events. We have primary results to cover, starting in Georgia where the Trump vendetta ride did not have a good night as two of MAGA's main targets for "correcting" 2020 in Governor Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger not only won against Trump-backed opponents but triumphed outright by large margins. We will also cover other primary races of note in Georgia, Texas, and Alabama. Guest Em Carpenter, attorney and Senior Editor at Ordinary-Times.com is one of many lawyers and SCOTUS watches that are really fired up about the new 6-3 ruling by The Court regarding whether poor representation is grounds for two death row inmates to get considerations. Em also talks about how vital representation is to our system of justice, how the adversarial component of criminal justice needs good representation on both sides, how that plays into the crisis of not having enough good lawyers, and how it exasperates issues at the sharp, pointy end of the legal system. We end on an uplifting note that finds a couple in Wales who proves it is good to be in love, regardless of age, and even when the newly wed couple are a combined age of 179. All that and more on this Wednesday Edition of Heard Tell.
