sentences

In the finale of this All Things Crime series, Jared and Neama continue to dive deep into the world of crime, discussing topics such as plea deals, sentencing for violent sex crimes, and the tragic stories surrounding high-profile individuals like Johnny Manziel.

Jared and Neama unpack the importance of flipping lower-level criminals to bring down major criminal networks, a tactic that can sometimes be misunderstood by the general public. The conversation explores the motives and strategies that drive prosecutors to offer such deals, even in high-profile cases involving child sex traffickers.

Neama also sheds light on some of the captivating cases he and his team have handled in their practice. From representing victims of abuse and rape to taking on celebrity lawsuits, their work spans a wide range of criminal and civil issues.

In a surprising twist, Neama shares his involvement in a defense case, representing none other than former NFL quarterback, Johnny Manziel. The discussion takes a candid turn as they explore the consequences of fame, fortune, and success at a young age, reflecting on how the pressure and lack of preparedness can lead to tragic outcomes.

To wrap up, they touch on the vital importance of athletes and young individuals in the limelight having a plan beyond their playing careers. They discuss the challenges of transition and the need for guidance to navigate the demanding world of professional sports.

So, sit back and get ready for an eye-opening episode as we explore the intricacies of plea deals, share compelling case stories, and delve into the dark side of fame and success.

This episode is mostly about the writer John Updike. We hear Updike read from several of his short stories, the foreword to The Early Stories, and we hear him speak with Charlie Rose on two different occasions. Updike was an accomplished novelist, poet, critic, artist, and family man. But what can he tell us about the need for art in life?

In this podcast series, we ask an artist represented in the David and Indrė Roberts Collection, and who was also part of one of the Evening of Performances, to select a work by another artist represented in the collection as the starting point for the discussion.

We invited Dora García, an artist who often draws on interactivity and performance in her work. At our 2008 Evening of Performances, García performed The Game of Questions, a performance that blurred boundaries between spectator and performer.

In this edition, she chose Ida Applebroog’s A Performance, (1977-1981) which sparks a discussion about reading and performance, marginality and collaboration.

Save The Persecuted Christians brings you news of anti-Christian violence in today’s SaveUs Minute

Four Christians in Iran, including two converts, have appealed their prison sentences for alleged missionary activities, arguing that they're innocent of the charges.

"Fondness for Christianity and conducting religious services cannot be the basis for incarceration," said Dabrina Bet Tamraz, the daughter of Assyrian pastor Victor Bet Tamraz and Shamiram Isavi, who were both sentenced by a Revolutionary Court in Iran to 10 years and five years in prison respectively.

The couple is currently free on bail along with their two codefendants, Christian converts Hadi Asgari and Amin Afshar Naderi, who had been sentenced to 10 years and 15 years in prison respectively.

Charges include “acting against national security by forming home churches, and insulting the sacred.”

Iran's Christian community, particularly converts to the faith, faces systematic state persecution.
