For the Defense with David Oscar Markus

David Oscar Markus, a Miami trial attorney has been called “a reincarnation of the old school criminal defense lawyer and has represented clients from the head of the Cali Cartel to Fortune 500 companies and their CEOs. David has partnered with rakontur, the lauded storytellers behind Cocaine Cowboys, The U and 537 Votes, on the podcast, For the Defense. The podcast focuses on the work of the least-respected but perhaps the most important profession in America: the criminal defense attorney. In each episode, Markus will interview a top criminal defense lawyer about one of their most gripping trials. Sadly, the criminal defense trial lawyer is a dying breed. The Feds have manipulated the system -- which was founded on the idea of trial by jury -- to force almost everyone (occasionally including the innocent) into pleading guilty to avoid trial. If you dare to go to trial, you risk going to prison for decades longer than had you surrendered and pleaded guilty. The system has shifted from valuing and encouraging trials to punishing those who dare exercise their constitutional right to have a jury decide their guilt. In the 1980s, over 20% of cases went to trial -- now less than 3% do so. Having tried cases all over the United States, Markus is well-positioned to speak to other leading criminal defense lawyers in the country and explore with them the decision they made in a high-profile case to proceed to trial, including their trial strategy, the risks involved, and the clients themselves. The podcast recently concluded Season 5. It has broken news, achieved industry-wide accolades, and is the go to listen for trial lawyers around the country.

Fight Night

On October 26, 1970, Muhammad Ali triumphantly returned to the world of boxing in Atlanta, Georgia. But every national front-page headline the next morning featured the story of one of the biggest heists in history. At the center of it all - a hustler named “Chicken Man”. Fans arrived in Rolls Royces delivered from New York City. Adorned in vibrant fur coats and dripping with diamonds, they grabbed engraved invitations then strutted into the arena. The sold-out crowd stood and cheered when the first-round bell rang, minus two empty seats. After the fight, many celebrating the victory, including top black mafia leaders, headed to Chicken Man’s house with invitation in hand. Instead of women and wine greeting them at the front door, each walked into the barrel of a sawed-off shotgun. On FIGHT NIGHT, J.D. Hudson, one of the first black detectives in Atlanta’s desegregated police force helped lead Muhammed Ali into the ring. The next day, he was assigned to the robbery by the chief of police. When asked by a journalist years later, “When did the investigation end?” J.D. summed it up perfectly, “When everybody was dead.” Read More

Hiding Something

Are powerful individuals actually conspiring to control humanity? Do powerful, all-knowing secret societies actually exist? What’s the truth behind theories surrounding the Illuminati?  Who’s behind a massive granite monument on a remote hillside in Georgia that’s emblazoned with cryptic messages? What’s actually going on in, around and possibly underneath the Denver airport? What’s buried beneath a small island off of the coast of northeast Canada, where researchers have been finding strange artifacts for decades? Why do some of the most powerful people in the world meet in the dense, Redwood forest of northern California to observe a violent ceremony in front of a massive sculpture of a stone owl every summer? Are there symbols and codes embedded in everything from currency to music videos that contain clues to solving these mysteries? This summer, you’re invited to come down another rabbit hole to separate fact from conspiracy theory and find out what’s really going on, who’s telling the truth, and who might just be Hiding Something.  38.46507510260853, -122.99324756806628 Read More
