Episode 17: Richneck School Shooting & Alvin Bragg’s lawsuit against Congress

The 6-year-old Richneck Elementary School shooter was not charged with any crimes. But this week, his mother was indicted on a charge of felony child neglect and a misdemeanor gun crime. The victim, teacher Abby Zwerner, has sued some Newport News school administrators for gross negligence over the shooting, claiming that they were warned of the threat and failed to act. Our legal team previously talked about this shooting and the possible civil and criminal legal implications of the act. In this episode, we revisit our prior predictions (which came true!) and provide legal updates on this case.

New York City's District Attorney Alvin Bragg is back in the news this week, too. This time, he has filed a lawsuit in the federal court for the Southern District of New York against Republican Representative Jim Jordan, the head of the House Judiciary Committee for Congress. He is asking the court to stop two subpoenas that were issued by the House Judiciary Committee to one of Bragg's former and current employees to testify before Congress. Is he right? Can these subpoenas be quashed? Ultimately, these are questions of federalism, state prosecutions, and Congress's purpose in issuing the subpoenas. 

Grab a glass of wine and join hosts Virginia Tehrani, Esq., and Chelsey Rogers for happy hour as we break down, discuss, and explain these interesting legal issues (while trying really, really hard to discuss only the legal issues of the cases and not the politics surrounding them).
