Assembly Person Das Williams has co-authored a bill that provides a mechanism to keep those who may be unstable temporarily away from weaponry.  He joins us (from the Assembly floor) to discuss his bill as it moves through the California Legislature.  Wallach on Law airs on AM stations nationwide on Saturdays at 1:00pm Eastern Time, and can also be heard on iTunes, iHeart Radio.   01:01:00Wallach On Lawnolegal,news,crime,law,poiceWallach on Law.  Gun Legislation & Officer Training, With California Assembly Member Das Williams, And Gun Rights Activist Sheriff Richard Mack (“Sheriff Mack”)http://www.blogtalkradio.com/wallachlaw/2014/08/22/the-road-from-innocenceNewshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/wallachlaw/2014/08/22/the-road-from-innocence/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/wallachlaw/2014/08/22/the-road-from-innocenceFri, 22 Aug 2014 15:00:00 GMTThe Road From InnocenceToday on Wallach on Law we discuss the problems facing those released from jail after prolonged periods – whether incarcerated justly or unjustly.  We speak with Karen Wolff, a social worker with the Innocence Project, about the work of Innocence Projects worldwide, and the tools that are needed to help those who have been in custody assimilate into society.  And we speak with Harold Hall, who was wrongly incarcerated for fourteen years until his conviction was ultimately overturned by a federal circuit court.  He will discuss the process of a coerced confession, the use of “jailhouse snitch” techniques to effectuate a conviction, and the hardships one faces as they attempt to rejoin society. 01:04:00Wallach On Lawnolegal,law,justice,prisionToday on Wallach on Law we discuss the problems facing those released from jail after prolonged periods – whether incarcerated justly or unjustly.  We speak withttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/wallachlaw/2014/08/15/wallach-on-law-featuring-jane-velez-mitchell-and-dale-baichNewshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/wallachlaw/2014/08/15/wallach-on-law-featuring-jane-velez-mitchell-and-dale-baich/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/wallachlaw/2014/08/15/wallach-on-law-featuring-jane-velez-mitchell-and-dale-baichFri, 15 Aug 2014 19:30:00 GMTWallach on Law Featuring Jane Velez Mitchell and Dale BaichWallach on Law Featuring Jane Velez Mitchell and Dale Baich – Life and/or Death in Arizona – the Jody Arias Trial and the Process of Lethal Injection This week Ian Wallach welcomes Jane Velez Mitchell, the host of the Jane Velez Mitchell show airing daily on HLN.  She is a frequent contributor to CNN, an award-winning journalist, and author of the New York Times bestseller, “Exposed, The Secret Life of Jody Arias.”  And to better understand the implementation of the death penalty in Arizona, we welcome Dale Baich, a Capital Habeas Attorney with the Federal Public Defender’s office in Arizona.  Mr. Baich represented Joseph Wood, and witnessed what is considered the fourth botched execution of 2014.  He will explain the legal and chemical processes of taking a life, and the risks that the current state of lethal injection poses to the convict, the witnesses, and the society in whose name a life is taken. 01:04:00Wallach On LawnolegalWallach on Law Featuring Jane Velez Mitchell and Dale Baich – Life and/or Death in Arizona – the Jody Arias Trial and the Process of Lethal Injection This weekhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/wallachlaw/2014/08/03/wallach-on-law-featuring-cynthia-orr-christopher-ochoaNewshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/wallachlaw/2014/08/03/wallach-on-law-featuring-cynthia-orr-christopher-ochoa/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/wallachlaw/2014/08/03/wallach-on-law-featuring-cynthia-orr-christopher-ochoaSun, 03 Aug 2014 20:00:00 GMTWallach On Law Featuring Cynthia Orr & Christopher OchoaThis week Ian Wallach discusses exonoration.  We will speak with Cynthia Orr -- one of the top criminal defense lawyers in the nation, ( co-chair elect to the Criminal Justice Section of the American Bar Association and recipient of this year's prestigious Robert Heeney award) about the process of exoneration, and the unexpected hurdles that can face an innocent person who has been wrongly convicted.  And we also welcome Christopher Ochoa, an innocent man who was convicted of rape and murder and incarcerated for 11 years, and then was exonerated in 2011.  His conviction was based on a coerced confession, and we will discuss what that is and how it takes place.  You will also learn his surprising take on the Criminal Justice system.   Ian Wallach also discusses the Joseph Lamont Walker trial in Annapolis, Maryland, the execution of Joseph R.

Butler.  He has helmed the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association and the NACDL. He is an outspoken critic of mandatory sentencing laws, officers who beat inmates or suspects, and what he calls the “warehousing of young African American males.”  He fought for the exoneration of Michael Morton, who steadfastly proclaimed his innocence and was finally exonerated in 2011, leading to the disbarment, conviction, and imprisonment of Ken Anderson, who had prosecuted that case over 25 years before and since become a judge.  Robert Pickett has a different take on "independence."  He was leaving a friend's house when officers received a burglary call describing two black men in Inglewood, and in responding, collided with, and killed, a girl crossing the street.  When an officer arrived at the scene, he shot Mr. Pickett 9 times (his colleague, Darryl Lewis, was shot six times).  The witnesses did not ID Mr. Pickett or Mr. Lewis.  Still, they were charged, and held in Men’s Central Jail for 32 months while consistently proclaiming their innocence. A jury quickly acquitted them at trial.  This year, Mr. Pickett will celebrate his independence with those he loves.   00:30:00Wallach On Lawnolegal,news,civil rights,FreedomGerry Goldstein is among the most respected criminal defense attorneys in the USA and has represented clients in many high-profile cases.  In 1974, he defendedhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/wallachlaw/2014/06/26/wallach-on-law-featuring--darryl-lewis-and-robert-pickettNewshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/wallachlaw/2014/06/26/wallach-on-law-featuring--darryl-lewis-and-robert-pickett/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/wallachlaw/2014/06/26/wallach-on-law-featuring--darryl-lewis-and-robert-pickettThu, 26 Jun 2014 22:00:00 GMTWallach On Law Featuring - Darryl Lewis and Robert Pickett,Today we will discuss the Supreme Court decision in Riley v.
