Love the show but the episode with Gilbert King was really ignorant of the true victim .. He is so happy that Leo (the wife beater) is no longer upset with Jeremy the murderer ! What about Michelle’s family and the Cab drivers family ? It seems like he wants to give him a reward to confessing to ANOTHER murder

I love Alice and Brett! They are so smart and witty. Their easy going logic as well as succinct way of explaining confusing legal issues make listening to them easy and informative. Their shows are the equivalent of going out to dinner with friends and getting sucked into a great conversation. Listen to both podcasts - you will not be disappointed. I find myself replying out loud to what they are saying!!! You have to listen!!!! Question: you’ve made it to the end of your life and have arrived at the Pearly Gates: St. Peter says that before you enter he will give you the answer to one of life’s great mysteries. What are you asking him about? (Who killed JFK? What happens at the Dyatlov Pass? Who is the real Dan Cooper? Etc.)

I wish I could remember how I first heard about you guys! It was 4 kids ago (right before Brett’s baby boy) and it all just keeps getting better!! Q-With all of your travels; if you were made to move to another country, which one would it be and why?

Alice & Brett: Have you ever had Rocky Mountain Oysters? And if not, would you try them?

I love Brett and Alice’s straightforward legal analysis so I can keep up to date with the news. Can you guys please cover the disappearance of Jennifer Kesse?

I have truly fallen in love with your coverage of all the cases in your other podcast, and this one here is the cherry on top. Understanding the mechanics of the law and why things happen as they do is very refreshing. MY QUESTION: I have debated starting a podcast, or maybe a blog-turned podcast. Yet my insecurities often stop me, because why would anyone want to hear me speak (or write)? When I look to you, your insight makes sense considering your respective CVs. How do I determine if my idea is worth the effort or if it would fall on deaf (or non-listening) ears?

I’m a better communicator and understand issues that are important to me better because of this podcast! I love the passion without trying to convince any one of anything, just encouraging people to be informed and have educated opinions that include all the nuances of incredibly complicated issues. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and perspectives

If someone is convicted of two lengthy sentences that were committed in two separate states, in which state do they serve their sentence?

I had already left a five star, you may not want to answer and can leave the name out (BM), but how do you maintain controversy, and previous connections? You guys are top notch, but being connected to controversial people can hurt you. How do you deal with that? What’s your opinion on his latest?

Wow loved the interview with Ivan Bates! Great episode and love both shows!

MY 5 STAR QUESTION AT THE END: Nancy Grace! Common you guys. You taught me a thing or two about this truly fascinating woman. I did not know her story, and had based my opinion on old SNL parodies of her. She’s fab. She’s fierce. She’s worked her butt off to get where she is. She’s in it for the right reasons. And I wouldn’t have known any of this, or what a Chevron thingie is, or how jury selection or sentencing works without Alice and Brett and their awesome Legal Briefs! HERE’S MY QUESTION: “Do you take the polygraph or not?” “Would you?” You keep telling us it’s an investigative tool, but whenever it’s used, you can only win if you pass. If you don’t take it, you’re uncooperative and suspicious. If you do take it and it’s inconclusive or your fail - you’re suspicious. Or you could even pass and they could lie to you and say you didn’t. What’s a good citizen who’s been listening to you for years to do?

Great podcast and well as the other one called “The Prosecutors”. Question: in general, among the prosecutors/DA office, do they begrudge the true crime genre bc they think it does harm to cases that should be left alone?

I’m a fairly recent listener and just love your thoughtfulness and playfulness. It’s such a great mix. I’m a part time medical professional and full time mom of 3 so I feel like listening to both podcasts is such delightful entertainment and opportunity to use my brain and critical thinking. I love it. EDITING REVIEW WITH A QUESTION: What is a habitual behavior or idiosyncrasy that your friends/family/colleagues would term “doing a *your name*.” For a silly example, my husband calls getting in the shower without remembering to have a towel ready “doing an Annie.” Do yall have any chronic behaviors that your people would term “an Alice” or “a Brett?”

Question What would be a good news source (podcast) that is middle of the road? I was shocked in listening to to the birthright citizenship podcast on how biased what I had heard was, even BBC. I get tired of feeling like I am being tugged one way or another Would you guys consider doing yet another podcast lol? Just kidding. But it would be nice to have both sides presented. Barring that, what is a good right leaning daily news source that you can recommend. No need to post this

I LOVE this podcast!!! Love the legal round up you did today. My Question is why aren’t they using genetic dna to solve the Jon Bonet case & who can we tweet to put pressure on them to do so?

Listening to Oct…. So if spirits are real don’t you think every murderer would be haunted? If I were murdered that would be how I would spend my afterlife

I love Brett and Alice and their pods so much. Question: would you please do an episode on the Perkins Executive Order and today’s TRO? I know you don’t like to get political, but the legal profession needs smart conservatives with backbones to explain why this matters.

Love them Question: What was President Trump convicted of and do you believe it was wrong that he was charged and convicted of this?

This podcast is an extremely educational source for me, a non-legal expert. Fun dynamic between Alice and Brett too, makes learning about the law a little more fun. Question for Alice and Brett: if you were charged with a serious crime and needed someone to defend you in court, who would you choose to be your defense attorney?

Please answer my question: I love both of your podcasts. I strive for intellectual consistency, especially related to controversial topics. After listening to the Chevron Doctrine episode I thought yes, let’s minimize unelected orgs from setting regulations. Then DOGE came along and I’m all for it. I know there’s a contradiction there. What is your take on this?

Maybe don’t play devils advocate for a beautiful child’s suspected killers. I get it they’re white girls. Sheesh.

I enjoy both of their podcasts. Question: How has your perspective of the world changed in the past ten years?

These episodes challenge my thinking and I have changed or affirmed my opinion on several high profile cases. Now for the question. What is the biggest legal disagreement you have had, and how did Brett concede that Alice was right? Also, is there something non-law-related that you disagree about?

I was actually a Patreon member and wrote a positive review maybe a year ago, but the more I listened the more I realized- they’re not right, they’re just good prosecutors selling their point of view! And good for them, but I think they should stay in their lane. Go put more innocent people in jail. (No, I don’t think Karen Read is innocent.) Podcasters spreading misinformation or glossing over facts that don’t fit their narrative have proven to be very damaging to this country. Laughing about an administration sending out letters laying off like half of our govt employees, while promising severance for which they haven’t legally appropriated funding- Not funny. Alice still hides it but Brett doesn’t even try to- fascists.

Great podcast. The hosts are extremely knowledgeable and engaging. Alice is absolutely lovely and brilliant. Brett is almost as lovely and brilliant. They offer great insight, encourage listeners to critically think and welcome diverse viewpoints and healthy discussion. I thoroughly enjoy the knowledge shared on Legal Briefs and theories on The Prosecutors. I love the tidbits they share about their experiences and families. Not sure if y’all are still doing questions, this one may have been asked already. What is your favorite baseball team? And what is your favorite concession food and beverage?

These two are absolute fascists. Hearing them talk about birthright citizenship confirmed it.

Love the podcast, thank you for the wealth of knowledge you guys provide. Question: can you please discuss the legalities of what is happening in our federal government currently with Elon Musk infiltrating various departments? Trying to find hope in lawyers who believe in and defend the constitution.

I love listening to Alice and Bret! They bring a different perspective from any other true crime media I have ever consumed and trust me it’s been a lot. My question for you both: my boyfriend is getting ready to go to law school. He has been accepted to one already and is waiting to hear from a few more. How should I prepare myself to best support him while he is in law school? What should I expect?

I always recommend this podcast to my students (forensic science/forensic investigative genetic genealogy). The discussions are always on point, informative, accurate/factual, and balanced/fair. I always look forward to new episodes!

I started on the first podcast, The Prosecutors, earlier this year due to an ad on the Jordan Harbinger podcast, and loved it! Made my way through the entire library before starting Legal Briefs. Legal Briefs is also incredibly engaging, insightful, and educational. Their easy dynamic shows sharp minds and quick wit! I’m learning so much about the law and why decisions are made. I’ll be so sad when I’m caught up with this collection, because then I’ll have to wait every week for a new episode.

Thank you for an incredible podcast. Not only do I learn from you, but I enjoy learning about you. So, thank you for sharing your knowledge, expertise, and opinion, and thank you for sharing your journeys. I look forward to your podcast each week and cannot wait for the episode to arrive.

Why don’t attorneys like engineers on the jury?

Love their podcasts! And the bloopers are awesome, shut up haters.

Love Brett and Alice, and really appreciate them for spending time they probably don’t have to spare educating people on how the justice system really works and debunking scary headlines. For my question: how on earth were the Phen-Phen countersuits from Chesley allowed to move forward?

I love y’all. But this is enough

Their take on the Karen Read Case is just embarrassing. She is beyond innocent and to claim she isn't means you are not smart and should not be allowed to prosecute anyone. Horrible and corrupt!

Hey, love the show. Any thoughts on careers to transition out of law? I’ve been practicing in employment defense for 5 years and I hate it. Deeply miserable and need to do something else but having trouble seeing a way out. Sorry to be a bummer. Really do love the show. I loved law school and learning about the law, just hate giving up my health and personal life for the stress and inhumane hours of practicing.

I really used to like this podcast until I realized how frequently they probably sent innocent people to jail.

My question is this: can anyone who has been arrested request a public defender or are there specific financial criteria that must be met? Love the podcasts!

Love the show…really helpful and in depth information about the technical law stuff but enjoyable and easy to understand. My question: what is your favorite/most interesting to you “hinge moment” in history? That is, what seemingly insignificant moment or person in history changed the trajectory of bigger world events?

I’ve been listening from the beginning. Love how successful this pod has become along with the original. My question: what are the coolest jobs you can use your JD for - I’m convincing my kids to get a law degree for the education, not to be a law partner. Thank you guys!!!!!

No question. Love you guys!

I would love your take on the death of Baltimore officer Sean Suiter a day before he was supposed to testify in front of fed grand jury about police corruption! Most of the time I roll my eyes at conspiracy theories, but this is so suspicious.

First, I could literally listen to you two read the dictionary and be content. Your voices are so cool. But that’s not the reason for a 5 ⭐️. The cases and legal jumbo are explained so easily that makes sense to me and that says a lot. They keep me laughing even when I shouldn’t 😁. Brett & Alice rule! Also, Marcia Clark is one of my favorites of all time!

Love Brett and Alice and love The Prosecutors, but your reporting on Delphi was SO biased. You left out A LOT of important details from the trial and honestly, it seemed like your main source was The Murder Sheet, which is laughable. Stopped listened to MS and Legal Briefs for Delphi coverage and switched to Lawyer Lee on YouTube.

The Prosecutors and Legal Briefs are my favorite podcasts. I love learning about a case with the cold water, rational approach (though I do miss them always considering “was it aliens?” like they did in the early days). Legal Briefs is great because it gives perspective on legal matters that is interesting and approachable for someone without a law background who is interested in high profile criminal cases. Question: Have you ever been in a situation where you truly thought you were about to die? (Or had a narrow miss?)

I love both the Prosecutors podcasts. I love that they are both intelligent and clear spoken when discussing confusing law topics. It’s very comforting to have things broken down from clickbait headlines. Are there any checks/balance for judges in the court room in the moment? Or are they kinda able to rule how they want until the session is over? Are they only “checked” by people making motions? (A judge dismissing a defense counselor w/out reason and the counselor files a motion trying to reverse this)

hi Brett and Alice! Been listening to y’all for about a year now and have finally run out of episodes😭 I get so excited now when a new episode drops! My question is: have either of y’all watched breaking bad or Better Call Saul? If so, what is your opinion of Saul Goodman? is he an unethical lawyer who cheats or is he just taking advantage of the loopholes in the law? sorry that’s a couple questions! I personally love the saul and think he’s brilliant.

I love Brett and Alice’s insight and banter. My question is: Can you do an update on the trial for parents of orphan Natalia Grace? Unless I’m missing it I don’t think the show revisited it. Thanks!

Get the perspectives of two down-to-earth, logical, experienced and very human attorneys! Very genuine and insightful! Even if you don’t care about the law, even their voices are captivating! If you have any interest in the US legal system, you will love this podcast! My college advisor suggested I go into law (I chose history, Latin and philosophy for college courses). This podcast confirms that would have been a great choice!
