An incident that’s been deemed the worst case of fraternity hazing in the U.S. left a University of Missouri freshman with serious brain damage. The victim had a blood alcohol level six times the legal limit for drivers in Missouri. Two frat members who were instrumental in the hazing were charged with misdemeanors. Attorneys Eric Banks, Nicole Gorovsky and Jeff Johnson dive into the high-profile case and consider whether potential bias may have led to light sentencing. The panel also discusses whether GOP senators should get taxpayer-funded lawyers to fight a defamation suit, a court ruling on St. Louis’s 1% earnings tax, and a judge who revoked a man's right to represent himself after spouting “sovereign citizen” conspiracy theories in court.
