Jim and Lisa are joined by artist, actress and activist Lili Bernard to debrief about the dramatic, confusing and shocking incident that unfolded between Will Smith and Chris Rock during the 2022 Oscars. There are so many ways to view and react to this altercation, depending on where you are standing, what your experience ahow you have been hurt. But one thing is for sure, there are many things we can learn from it too. Warning, towards the end of the episode, Lisa reads an excerpt from Will Smith's autobiography that has a graphic description of Domestic Violence.If Lili’s name sounds familiar to you, it is because she has been outspoken about the drugging and raping she alleges Bill Cosby did to her in the 1990s. You can hear her story on the amazing podcast series “Chasing Cosby” https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chasing-cosby/id1493558501Lili is also a gifted visual artist.

Chrystul Kizer was seventeen years old when she was arrested for allegedly killing the man who was sex trafficking her and who had used her to create images of child sex abuse. She is now fighting for her right to use the "Affirmative Defense" law to defend herself in court against charges of first degree intentional homicide and arson. The Wisconsin Supreme Court and prosecutors are debating the use of this defense which Jim breaks down for us. We talk about who this law was intended to protect, who the real victim is in this situation as well as the shocking details in Chrystul's case. #ChrystulKizer#WisconsinSupremeCourt#AffirmativeDefense*****PLEASE SUPPORT THE SPONSORS WHO MAKE THIS PODCAST POSSIBLE!*****SMILE DIRECT CLUB - Lisa’s aligners have arrived and she is so excited to get started on a new smile.

Jim and Laura continue their analysis on this shocking, many layered case. We follow the framework of the Topic docu-series “The Missing Children” of Tuam, Ireland. More is revealed about exactly where some of these vulnerable children ended up after being ripped from their destitute mothers. Someone once said “follow the money” and in this case, it is incredibly revealing who profited from the plight of young mothers and their children. This is a human rights violation. Will anyone ever be brought to justice?

It is the stuff that gothic horror movies are made of, but instead of fiction, the story of the missing children of Tuam, Ireland, is tragically real. Using the framework of the stunning documentary streaming now on the Topic platform, “The Missing Children”, Laura, Jim and Lisa analyze this case that involves multiple layers of treachery, abuse and as Laura says “evil”. If 796 children went missing in your town, there would be an uproar. If year after year, 30 to 40 babies died in the care of those who were responsible for their well being your community would demand answers. So why did no one question this when it happened to these particular children. Your blood will boil when you hear the answers. We dedicate this podcast series to International Women's Day 2022 to honor all the women and children victims and survivors. We have a long way to go.https://www.topic.com/the-missing-children#TheMissingChildren#ChildrenofTuam#ChildrenMatter#WomenMatter#Topic#NoChildIsIllegitimate#BonSecours#CatholicCh

We continue our interview with Attorney Darnell Crossland who represents the families of Lauren Smith-Fields as well as Brenda Rawls. Darnell emphasizes that there does not have to be warring sides in this case — Lauren’s family vs the police vs the individual who was with Lauren when she died. He says they are all on the same side, the side of finding out the whole truth so everyone can know what really happened. #HerNamewasLaurenSmithFields#LaurenSmithFields#HerNameWasBrendaRawls#BrendaRawls#DoYourDamnJob#VictimsMatter#WomenMatter#darnellcrosland#smallaxeThe film that Darnell and Lisa mention is called “Small Axe”.

We interview Attorney Darnell Crosland who represents both Lauren Smith-Fields' and Brenda Rawls' families. Jim gives expert advice regarding hair analysis and the investigation. Laura asks Darnell about the timeline of Lauren's death and the response by Bridgeport Police and the Mayor’s office. Lisa asks if several pieces of evidence have been collected by police and if tests have been conducted by the medical examiner. Attorney Crosland explains the failure of law enforcement to undertake a basic investigation in order to establish the manner of death. He highlights the importance of listening to the family in establishing a timeline as well as key evidence they believe they identified in the case. #HerNamewasLaurenSmithFields#LaurenSmithFields#HerNameWasBrendaRawls#BrendaRawls#DoYourDamnJob#VictimsMatter#WomenMatterClips used in this episode can been seen here in their entirety:https://thereal.com/videos/full-interview-lauren-smith-fields-family-blames-police-for-botched-investigation/PLEASE SUPPORT O

We begin our coverage of the Lauren Smith-Fields case with Laura and Jim analyzing victimology. Laura is deeply troubled at how the family was notified of Lauren’s death and how they were treated. Jim is outraged that the last person to see Lauren alive was not properly questioned by police. Lisa has a lot of questions about how law enforcement should have handled a potential crime scene. #HerNamewasLaurenSmithFields#LauenSmithFields#HerNameWasBrendaRawls#BrendaRawls#DoYourDamnJob#VictimsMatter#WomenMatterThe clip from today’s episode can be seen in its entirety here:https://whereisthebuzz.com/shantell-fields-lauren-smith-fields-mother-says-apart-of-her-soul-died/PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS.

Breaking: A man has been charged with the murder of Akia Eggleston and her unborn baby almost five years after she went missing. Akia’s family never stopped trying to find out what happened to Akia who disappeared days before her baby shower leaving behind her two year old daughter.

Laura and Jim analyze the red flags that have been present all along in this case. You won’t want to miss this. #hernamewasAkiaEggleston:#nevergiveup#neverstopsearching#blackandmissing#hbo#hbodocumentariesPLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS.

We finish our coverage of the HBO docu-series "Black and Missing" by focusing on the cases of Tamika Huston, Akia Eggleston and Relisha Rudd. Tamika's disappearance and her family's frustration with getting media attention led Natalie and Derricka Wilson to form the Black and Missing organization. Akia, an expectant mother, went missing and it was shockingly difficult for her family to get the police to take it seriously. Eight year old Relisha Rudd was missing for almost an entire month before anyone reported it to the police. How did this happen? You won't believe these heartbreaking cases. #hernamewasTamikaHuston#hernamewasAkiaEggleston#hernamewasRelishaRudd#blackandmissing#neverstopsearching#soledado'brien#derricawilson#nathaliewilson#hbodocumentariesPLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSBOLL & BRANCH SHEETS -The Signature Hemmed Sheets from Boll & Branch are a best-seller for a reason.

Jim and Laura analyze the cases of Kennedi High, Pam Butler and Tamika Huston. 16 year old Kennedi High went missing after being lured away from home by men who took advantage of her vulnerability due to her autism. When Pam Butler and Tamika Huston went missing, their families desperately searched for them, and tried to get the national media's attention to help them get the word out -- to no avail. Police had strong suspicions about who was responsible in each case-- but needed the public's help to find answers.

On today’s show, we discuss a different kind of “missing person”, those who are missing from the lives of their families due to police misconduct, and wrongful arrests. Such was the case for Elon Wilson, Natalie’s son, a former D.C. firefighter who spent almost two years in prison after a “pretextual” traffic stop, by then Officer Jonathan A. Freitag. Elon was released after it was discovered that Freitag lied about what happened and had a history of racially motivated stops. Laura also talks about a case that came across her desk where law enforcement had many intervention opportunities. Banaz Mahmod, a 20-year-old woman in South London went to police several times.Banaz asked the police for help. She told them she was ‘going to be the victim of an “honor killing”. She even gave them the names of the men who would kill her - orchestrated by her own father and uncle. When Banaz went missing there were already so many red flags that police should have realized the danger she was in. You won’t believe

Today we analyze the cases of 21 year old Keeshae Jacobs who disappeared in 2016 from Richmond, VA and 16 year old Amaria Hall who went missing in 2019 from Trenton, MI. Neither mother of either girl was able to get law enforcement to react with urgency about their daughters. Jim talks about the terrible consequences of the "wait and see" attitude when it comes to the missing. Laura points out how important it is for law enforcement to examine baseline behavior in victims and identify red flags. #blackandmissing#neverstopsearching#soledado'brien#derricawilson#nathaliewilson#hbodocumentaries#findkeeshaejacobs#amariahallPLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSBOLL & BRANCH SHEETS -The Signature Hemmed Sheets from Boll & Branch are a best-seller for a reason.
