Daniel Van Kirk's crazy stories include a woman who was bitten by a tiger at the zoo after trying to pet it at 4 in the morning. Later, Hutch performs a few songs from his new record, which is titled "We Disappear," and Donald Trump leaves a message for the Sklars.

Great podcast, but I disagree with your take on double jeopardy. Yes, Pistorius should be in jail. However, the government shouldn't have the power to repeatedly try an individual for the same offense. It leads to harassment and would enable the government to try the case as many times as it wishes until it gets a jury (or in South Africa's case, a judge) that decides as it wants or the individual accepts a plea. I don't think public opinion and budgetary concerns would be enough of a check on this. Imagine if Ken Kratz had that discretionary power. US justice system has plenty to criticize, but double jeopardy protection isn't one of them.

 

Big fan, rock on guys
