Just Lawful

The JL boys investigate a complex case  based on a web of deceit and corruption, cash and drugs, a prosecution deal and only pleading guilty to a selection of the charges. What begins as a simple, routine traffic stop quickly escalates into an intriguing tale of a much larger operation, with cash, drugs and connections to a notorious Ponzi scheme.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After ending with a bizarre twist, Sean and Daniel finally discover the true identity of the man accused of being at the center of a multi-state cannabis trafficking operation. But as Mr. Abbas maintains his innocence despite a strong prosecution case and two co-accused pleading guilty and providing evidence against him how will this one end?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Mysterious Case of Ibrahim Abbas: A Story of Virality and Intrigue The JL boys start this one off with a routine drug bust just north of Adelaide, however almost everything else about this case proves to be anything other than routine. It starts with difficulty in verifying the visual identification of one of the major players which generates a bizarre amount of public interest before taking another major twist.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sean and Daniel continue with the powerful story of Sean Mitchell, a young man who, in his own words, wanted his story to told, to be known and its impact to be understood. As Sean approached his 18th birthday his biggest wish was to regain the identity taken from him at age eight, this is the long and arduous process of Sean's journey to do so.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The JL boys return to a case that in essence also returns the existence of a young man, his voice, his story and his place as a victim and sole surviving member of his family. As Sean Mitchell has come of age his want and will to be recognised and to speak of his experience and pride for his mother and siblings has never waned, and now is his time.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sean and Daniel return with a conclusion to a previously unanswered question, how was the continued legal defense and ongoing appeals of Wendie Sue Dent being funded? The question now is how does a convicted murderer sell and gain access to proceeds of her victim’s possessions and how does a lack of legal oversight allow this to occur?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The JL boys are revisited by an all too familiar name, one that has seemingly also revisited their old ways of running by their own rules and ensuring everyone knows. With everyone from the public, to the DPP and top politicians alike scratching their heads, this situation is a predicament more akin to a bizarre game of hokey-pokey.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sean and Daniel conclude their coverage of the case of the Zai family, one that has become a complex saga of cultural, ethical, legal and procedural to-ing and fro-ing. For a family who plead guilty and seemingly failed to accept accountability it was now time to face adjudication, a verdict shaped by the words of the victim herself, Lour Zai.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The JL boys follow the twists and turns as they move recount sentencing submissions for a family who continually claim this is culturally allowable and not a criminal act. In a case that has heard from all sides it seems this ongoing game of “he said, she said” will finally move to an adjudication phase and the ultimate form of “Thee said”.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sean and Daniel discuss that despite the Zai family having entered guilty pleas they still continue to display a lack of contrition and failure to acknowledge any wrongdoing. As sentencing submissions are entered, Lour Zai chooses to suppress her impact statement while numerous other issues and their implications still remain unresolved.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
