Serious Trouble

Pro Se Exam

In this episode of Serious Trouble, hosts Josh Barrow and Ken White dissect a series of high‑profile legal battles, from Sam Bankman‑Fried’s chaotic pro‑se appeal and his mother’s questionable court filings to the Pentagon’s unconstitutional press‑pool policy that the New York Times successfully challenged. They also cover a DOJ settlement in New Jersey, Minnesota’s request for shooting records, Mike Lindell’s contempt ruling, and the Supreme Court of Oklahoma’s permissive stance on AI‑generated legal briefs. Throughout, the hosts provide sharp commentary on the procedural quirks and broader implications of each case.
