Episode Notes Should defendants have to face their victims and the family of their victims in court?

Episode Notes Mason Greenwood was "Cleared of all charges" according to statements from Manchester United and Mason Greenwood himself earlier this week. Was he? Comedian Tom Binns received a suspended sentence last week. Does this mean he was guilty or innocent or somewhere in between of the offences he was charged with? Surely a suspended sentence means he wasn't as guilty as if he'd been sent directly to prison. We also have a listener question and we reveal our favourite listener ever. We recorded this via zoom due to having ridiculous schedules at the moment. Find out more at https://barely-legal-comedy-podcast.pinecast.co This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Episode Notes This episode stems from a question from listener Toby Grier. We, (0h alright then), Kehoe, also answers the seemingly logical question, "Why when you are charged for murder, are you not also tried for attempted murder" posed by listener Gary Dugdale. If you have a question for us then send it in and we will answer it in upcoming episodes. We can be contacted on barelylegalcomedypodcast@gmail.com You can always send questions directly to Chris via his extremely niche Only Fans/ allotment owner/birdwatcher website. For legal reasons, I can't post a link to this as it's only available on the dark web. Also, feel free to send the show loads of money via the Tip Jar so I can buy a soft top Jag or maybe even a 911.

Earlier this month Tom Binns, a comedian whom both Chris and Alex know, admitted in court to five counts of "Making" and one count of "possessing" indecent images of children. Whar exactly does "Making" indecent images of children mean? What is the case law surrounding this topic? How has the law developed in recent years? What possible defences are there to the charges? Also, we have new equipment and Chris sounds ok but Alex sounds like he's underwater (lucky he doesn't speak much in this ep).

Just what disingenuous, tiresome, underhanded bollocks are the Home Office up to now?

What is a refugee? When is a terrorist not a terrorist? Is the Home Secretary to blame for a recent terrorist attack which led to a man's death? With thanks to @nataliehusdan

Is this Kehoe's final episode before we get in a younger, sexier, woman-ier replacement in? I hope so. In the meantime he looks at the soup throwing Criminal Damage case from the news this week. What is the charge, what are the possible please and defences and what will the likely penalty be? Plus, the also topical discussion around a famous footballer being granted bail. What does this mean?

Kehoe finishes what he started (weeks ago). He did forget his mic though so let's not get too carried away.

Heckler in Scotland arrested as Queen's funeral car passes. Man in London arrested for holding up a blank piece of paper 'In case' he wrote something with an anti-monarchy message on it. Are we finally living in a right-wing/ dystopian/ fascist dictatorship? Did tthe above events actually even happen? Plus, have we, as a Nation, lost our collective minds?

With all the news this week (death of the Monarch, new PM) you may have missed the fatal shooting of Chris Kaba (24) in Streatham Hill London at the hands of the police. As Chris is a barrister who is attached to the police, he guides us through the relevant laws surrounding the use of lethal force by the police.

Chris talks about his day in court, the upcoming barrister strike and reveals how a discussion with a female police officer in one of his cases leads to us starting a new topic, unlawful act manslaughter.

Just what can you say on stage? Is there a wokeist cabal running the industry? Are right wingers against market forces? Are there actually any leftist comedians anyway? Should comedy be unleashed or leashed or is it all just a cynical marketing ploy? Plus discussions on Sovereignty, how and when it grew, and how Sovereignty is almost always misrepresented and used against people. And whilst discussing offensive material, a highly offensive joke about Harry Potter that nobody should ever have to hear is improvised.

A very recent and tragic manslaughter case involving a s.4 (suicide pact) defence from The Homicide Act (1957). Barrister Chris takes us through the tragic facts and the excellent judgement from Mr Justice Goose. It is a horrible case, but the police, the prosecution, the judge and jury all work magnificently to ensure justice is done. Also, is it time for the law on assisted suicide to be changed?

Part two tidies up all the loose ends and looks at the development of the law of oblique intent. This episode takes in Hancock and Shankland, Nedrick and also briefly discusses R v MD (2004). Also, we start a brand new feature which hasn't yet got a title but will probably be called "Ask Keheo a question." It features law student Emily (pictured) from Liverpool.

Following on from the "Murder v Manslaughter" episode which featured the case Hyam v DPP and used a test of foreseeability to establish indirect intent, we move on to look at further developments in the law. Chris guides us through the facts on Woollin and stops along the way to look at R v Maloney. Plus, toast and Steve Wright.

Barrister and University Law Lecturer Chris Kehoe guides us through the legal issues regarding the Rwanda bound flight to process asylum seekers which was grouded on 14th June 2022. Was it grounded because a European Court overruled a UK Court? Is the idea to "Process" asylum seekers actually an attempt to reduce trafficking as some in Govt. claim? What are the legal duties of the UK with regard to asylum seekers? All this, and more, in a special Chris Kehoe ONLY episode of Barely Legal Comedy Podcast

Direct vs Oblique Intention, Negligence, Recklessness, R v Smith is replced by statute which then leads to one of the most famous criminal cases of all time; Hyam v DPP. Plus, Kehoe talks about life as a Law Lecturer, reveals his dream life and a book Chris lends Alex is read aloud in a coffee shop...
