Paul the AccuserYou’re Wrong…Yo, your boy Temujin is guilty. Listen to your peoples at The Murder Sheet. Even if he is innocent he still deserves to be in prison forever. Love your show tho.

Octomom888Professor Brett/ HistoryIf Brett had a history podcast I would love it. My question is:how do we get Brett to do a history podcast?
-
mellem4562873JudgesThis podcast has great information and the explanations on current court cases has been excellent! My question is - do judges ever know ahead of time what the jury has decided and how does this play into their sentencing decisions. Do they have a stance ready to go? Also, can a judge not follow standard guidelines lines and give someone a lighter sentencing? For example - the Brock Turner case. The judge said he was following guidelines, but he ended up getting recalled. Why wasn’t anything done about Brock’s light unjust punished if the Judge got recalled? Can prosecutors do anything about it if they feel the punish isn’t right?

4kids2cats1dogExcellent podcastI have been a fan of this podcast for a long time. Bret and Alice have amazing insight to cases and great banter. I enjoy every minute of listening to them. My question: Do you have any helpful advice for my daughter who wants to become a prosecutor? She’s majoring in chemistry and history as an undergraduate at a state college and is worried she won’t look competitive enough for law school. She was valedictorian in HS and would love to eventually work on the east coast. Thanks!!!

Laura 5002Loving this Podcast!I have been really impressed by the quality and content of the show! I know my political beliefs probably do not align with Brett or Alice’s, particularly in recent cases, but I’m singularly impressed by their ability to present both sides without taking an opinion or making me feel like I shouldn’t listen to them because I don’t agree with their conclusions. My question: have you ever been in a position as an attorney where you had to defend a position that you did not agree with and what do you do? For example - if you’re a part of the Karen Read legal team and you don’t agree with the “she was framed by everyone in Boston” defense and find their tactics morally ambiguous?

Kaycee.C.C.Love you guys! Sorry my question is long!Hey y'all! Love the podcasts, avid listener of both of them over here. There was a "news story" circling on social medias - spoiler alert it ended up being AI created - but the plot sparked an ethical debate before realizing the whole thing was fake. Long story short the fake video claimed that four adult women got heavily and publicly intoxicated, ended up at the wrong apartment, and when they couldn't get the door open began to bang on and kick down the door at like 2am. Cut to the 80 year old man who wakes up to his door being kicked in at 2am, uses a firearm to defend himself and his home, and three of the four women are fatally shot and one loses a leg. Again, this did not really happen. If that was a real case that went to trial, with the remaining woman suing the man and wanting jail time for him, and the man maintaining his innocence and right to defend via castle doctrine, what do you think the outcome of that case would be? And if it was real, regardless of the confines of the law, what would you want it to be? Also, how close are we to living in a simulation with AI getting smarter and people becoming dumber? Will we eventually be able to sue AI? Or will AI create its own jury of AI peers and the human race just won't stand a chance at that point?

Bama Tina JoFive Star QuestionI worked as a social worker for DHR in Alabama for 18 years. What is your perspective on juvenile court dependency proceedings?
-
MamáSherylGuatemalaHi, I love, love, love your podcast and was thrilled when you covered the Rosenberg case. I’ve lived in Guatemala since 1996 as a missionary and this case rocked the political scape tremendously. Did you know that the then president, Colom, had his wife divorce him so she could legally run for the presidency herself! Also, there is another case I hope maybe someday you would consider covering, it’s the Floridama Roque case. She traveled here for a cosmetic surgery and died in the recovery room. What happened afterward is horrific and shocking and her story should be told to help others be aware of seeking cosmetic treatments abroad. Thanks for reading and I wish your families many blessings!!!

Jenrose25Honest, Informative, and Relatable True Crime ContentI have been a huge fan of The Prosecutors from the beginning. I love the friendship between Brett, Alice, and their families. They take very complex legal information and break it down in a non-bias, no agenda way that is easy to understand. As they put it, they aren’t in it for the reviews, they just speak the truth no matter how many 1 star reviews they *cough-cough-Alice* get. ;) Although I encourage everyone to listen both podcasts, Legal Briefs is my favorite. This podcast is more laid back and in a way more informative because they break down the legal side of filings, how the law works, and why lawyers do what they do. The good, the bad, the ugly from true practitioners that love the law and love sharing their knowledge with others. Don’t quit y’all! You two are my favorite Podcasters! My question: all jokes aside, I love you Alice, listening to you is truly amazing how y’all balance life, kids, work and podcasting is inspiring. I also enjoy hearing the ups and downs along the way because it’s real and honest and completely relatable! You too Brett. :) So my daughter, Bree (shout out), is 15 and a Sophomore in high school. Her goal is to be the Valedictorian when she graduates and go to law school someday. What advice do you have for her about undergraduate studies and anything else you can think of for a highschooler interested in law- what should she study, should she try and go to the same school for undergrad that she wants to go to law school at? What schools would y’all recommend? We’re in your home state of Texas. Lastly, what can she do now to prepare? Thank you both!!!
-
Laurenlo9778DisgustingThese are federal prosecutors in your districts that don’t recognize reasonable doubt. I used to love this pod but these people represent you and your constituents in court, beware! Yikes. Brett and his connection to the Trump administration is disgusting. Alice is a sycophant which makes her even grosser. Don’t listen, and beware
-
gracemg_question from a (hopeful) future law student!thanks to both of you for all of the work you put into this podcast, it has truly deepened my appreciation for the law and its quirks. my question is: what is your advice for the LSAT? any hacks? thanks again!
-
Maggles979Love the show!I disagree with other reviewers who claim to hear your politics in your coverage- I think you guys do a great job of presenting facts without bias- and I can guarantee, our personal politics are very different :) It makes me appreciate you more! For my question: Do you agree with the Double Jeopardy clause in the 5th amendment, or would you like to see it change? I personally am fascinated by the UK’s Criminal Justice Act that allows for subsequent charges in serious cases,if new evidence surfaces. Thanks guys!
-
MrsK104Two of my favesI love the banter the info and everything about the two of you But for real are we watching the same trial!
-
MomOf3💗💗💙Fantastic podcast and hostsAlice and Brett are amazing hosts who take us through every episode with enthusiasm and professional opinions. They have a great co-host chemistry between them and always have interesting content. I always look forward to these episodes! Question for Alice and Brett: what is your favorite family vacation spot with kids? We went to Salem, MA last October and had a blast. Our other favorite is Chicago.
-
advanced millennial ageCan you do a collab with the Bravo Docket?Lots of good true crime / housewives overlap! Maybe start w Tom Gerardi?
-
Andrea5149Question WM3I’m new to the WM3 case and listening to your series. I also just finished episode one of Paradise Lost. So, I’m going in blind and have no preformed opinions. Why did they put Damien and Jason on trial at the same time? Shouldn’t they have received separate trials?
-
RichCase003Legalese questionI am preparing to take my real estate license test and I am curious about something, how do you train your brain to read legalese??? I am struggling so much with the state statutes and law portions.
-
BellaGReuAmazing podcastI absolutely love how Brett and Alice make law understandable and easy to listen to. Unlike others I adore their banter, rants, and side chatter. They get me through many 90 min pool running laps.
-
GroveorangeAnd I thought I couldn’t love The Prosecutors more than I already do…HERE’S MY QUESTION: “Do you take the polygraph or not?” “Do you lawyer up or not?” “ What’s an honest citizen who stumbles upon a dead body to do?” What’s would Brett and Alice do? You’re walking down the street and encounter an abandoned murder victim. You call 9-1-1. You guys always say the person who finds the body is an immediate suspect. So knowing this, do you speak to the police without a lawyer or not? Do you take a polygraph or not? If you don’t take it, you’re uncooperative and raise suspicions. If you do take it and it’s inconclusive or you fail - you’re suspicious. Or you could even pass and they could lie to you and say you didn’t.
-
Kohana SushiLove their approachable coverageI enjoy both of their podcasts. Question: What do you think are the most important ways that you have grown as individuals in the past ten years? What changes in yourselves are you most grateful for?
-
Nikki’s NotionsHeroesYou guys are the true hero’s of the true crime world! You tell it straight and you tell it true! I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you both. Question : What was your favorite Halloween costume as a child? Myself, I had a blast dressing as a Cone Head from Saturday Night Live. I loved spending the whole day acting like an alien. It was a bonus to watch my teachers expressions. The smiles turning to puzzlement and shock when they realized a 3rd grader was dressing as a character from a late night comedy show. Priceless.
-
andi417The bestBrett and Alice are the best! I love their other podcast, The Prosecutors, and I’ve learned so much from Legal Briefs! Thank you for what you do, Brett and Alice!
-
SeafedtLove this podcast!!Great podcast! Great job of explaining the processes and providing insight. I really love how the hosts present information, how they interact with each other and how their love of law is obvious. I would like to know if they think Melanie McGuire is guilty and how they think the crime was really carried out. That is my 5 star question 🥰
-
puxzledUgh!Terrible take on everything
-
Sluethy FoxYeah TRH !Bret, what’s your favorite thing to order when you go to Texas Roadhouse ? I’m obsessed with TRH, I love their amazing boneless wings and that delicious chicken with the grilled onions and cheese 😭
-
JanefromNjGilbert KingLove 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
-
IHateNicknames!!!!!!!Love You Guys!!!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.)
-
keithnollie🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟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?
-
HuskerGrad21Love the show!Alice & Brett: Have you ever had Rocky Mountain Oysters? And if not, would you try them?
-
kasia bo basiaLove this podcast!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?
-
Juliet ConleyThe best part of the show is the insightI 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?
-
KarajoyvmEducational and SO interestingI’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
-
IsabellaDonatelliGreat showIf someone is convicted of two lengthy sentences that were committed in two separate states, in which state do they serve their sentence?
-
My4meaniesThank you for constant truthI 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?
-
pdmddc19Great informative showWow loved the interview with Ivan Bates! Great episode and love both shows!
-
Larissa91Love you guys and QuestionGreat 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?
-
AnnieAustinEdited w/question!!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?”
-
Diana1sbqAwesome!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
-
kwdreamsMy favsI 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?
-
TaxcellQuestionListening 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
-
HshskfjfueibdbaGreat showI 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.
-
Lyn61Great PodcastLove them Question: What was President Trump convicted of and do you believe it was wrong that he was charged and convicted of this?
-
Crjones83Great Breakdown of Legal ItemsThis 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?
-
dude45637890My question for youPlease 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?
-
Mirror_SeaWith that accentMaybe don’t play devils advocate for a beautiful child’s suspected killers. I get it they’re white girls. Sheesh.
-
Rosey and CrimeFantastic Analysis of the LawThese 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?
-
JljlbManipulativeI 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.
-
TX-Megs1044Great discussionGreat 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?
-
jipjopflopDangerousThese two are absolute fascists. Hearing them talk about birthright citizenship confirmed it.
-
Listeneremr0034Love the podLove 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.
