4/19/2024

What is imposter syndrome? Do you suffer from it? Are you worried that you don't suffer from it and maybe you should? More to the point what does all this have to do with Kehoe having to follow Baroness Hale, former President of the Supreme Court, speaking at an event for women in the law?

S1E37 - Can you assault someone without touching them?

Party time as the boys have been promised a gift by a listener!

S1E35 - Automatism
12/15/2023
This ep is about some legal stuff, but seriously, Automatism is a great name for a band. Anyone able to play anything and want to join? I can play a bit of guitar and Kehoe can too but he will probably want to play a balalaika or a sitar or something equally wacky. Probably need a lead singer (1970's Debbie Harry type) and a drummer (Rick Buckler type) and then Automatism can start rehearsing.
Anybody...? Hello...?

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

S1E28 - Greenwood, Binns, Woolmington.
8/24/2023
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.

S1E27 - Illegal Migration Act
8/2/2023
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.

R v Bowden (1999) and other cases around indecent images
1/20/2023
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).
