This show is about us discussing hot topics and how they relate to the law.
 
The longtime sheriff of metropolitan Phoenix, Joe Arpaio, was formally charged in October with criminal contempt-of-court for ignoring a judge’s order in a racial-profiling case.  Arpaio had been scheduled to be tried on December 6th, but the trial has since been moved to April 4th after his lawyer said he needed more time to prepare.  What is the backstory?  What sort of backlash could come if he is convicted?  Tune in to hear our hosts discuss the rise and fall of this controversial public figure.
