14: The Penalty Is Death
A prison break, the oldest biker gang in the world, 558 death sentences, a body in a river, and the man who tried to dodge death just to run straight into it. Twice. The Supreme Court in 1976 had no idea it would set off a chain of events worthy of a biopic and a newfound appreciation for Harley Davidsons, bro code, and a really catchy crime syndicate slogan.
Rev (Reb?) your engines. It's about to get bloody. The penalty is death in Gregg v. Georgia (1976).

13: The Dirty Liars
Since 1969, the police have been legally allowed to lie to you. Yes, you. About anything. Anywhere and everywhere. And they do. All the time. One of their favorite tricks is to use the “false evidence ploy” to convince you to take a lesser guilty plea instead of risking a trial. Despite millions of guilty pleas entered in this country based on deception and misinformation, the Supreme Court has repeatedly held that it is okay for cops to be dirty liars. Reb teaches you when and how to shut your mouth as she runs through Frazier v. Cupp, Miranda v. Arizona, the "Interrogation Bible" used to train cops in the US, and the rights everyone should know how to exercise.

11: The Kidnapper Who Sued His Hostages
A fugitive wanted for murder stares at two newlyweds through a window on their back porch in Dover, Kansas on a Saturday morning in 2009. He makes them an offer: $10,000 to hide him, please. Cheetos, Dr. Pepper, and a Robin Williams movie seal the deal. Or did it? In State v. Dimmick, Reb begs you to either get it in writing or lock your door.

10: The Tribal Lands and The Blood On Our Hands
Today, there are over five million Native Americans in the United States, 22% of whom live on reservations. Native American women are murdered at a rate 10x the national average, and are 2.5x more likely to be victims of sexual assault. A majority of these violent crimes are perpetrated by non-tribal members on Tribal Lands, and over half of them are never investigated or prosecuted. Why? Reb has a few ideas. Listen to her untangle every "what the f*#k?!" in United States v. Cooley (2021).
