Just Lawful

Sean and Daniel kick off a brand new series investigating a family feud over a contested will, an inheritance of seemingly biblical proportions and even allegations of murder. Then, after all the complex legal issues and arguments of blasphemous commentary end this family saga would reoccur 13 years later as another multi-million dollar battle begins.

The JL boys continue their interview with Phillip Lawrence and it’s fair to say this one proves just as fascinating as we hear a first hand perspective of the Lawrence family. As more revelations are revealed we hear of the care and concern from our wider community and a final revelation from our listeners that even Phillip didn’t see coming.

When Sean and Daniel covered the death of David Lawrence they thought they’d heard all there was to know about this case. That was until they interviewed Phillip Lawrence. In this episode we start to understand the difference between what’s heard in court and the lived experience endured by those who have been forced to face the fallout.

Here the JL boys go again!!! One episode just wasn’t enough for them to capture all of the memories, moments, updates and events they’ve encountered in 100 episodes. This time around they talk waning book sales before we hear from prior guests to share their thoughts and thanks for their experience as well as notes on life since JL.

Yayyyy!!!! It’s a celebration as Sean and Daniel pause, take a moment and celebrate their….. 203rd episode? Well they figured it’s better that than interrupt their last series. Join them as they reflect, reminisce and remonstrate over recent goings on. The only real question is, will they be able to get it all done in a single celebration episode?

As the JL boys get set to let out a collective sigh of relief there’s a little more concern, commentary and conjecture that they need to cover before they lay their own capstone. This is the episode where we reexamine, reassess and attempt to reconcile all that we’ve heard as we collectively contemplate if we’ve reached a Just or Lawful conclusion. See omnystudio.com/listener for...

Sean and Daniel begin the episode with a criminal case concluded, a civil case set to resume and the Lawrence family finally being offered a sense of closure and justice. However it would instead be more legal wrangling and procedural posturing proving there was still a twist to come including a bizarre demand from the defence counsel. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The JL boys do their best to reconcile with the ongoing revelations and reckonings that simply keep coming as a filed appeal is  dismissed and leave the boys dismayed. As more information was made available in real-time about situations that occurred in the past, time would seemingly stand still as the end, yet again, may still not be in sight. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy informat...

Sean and Daniel continue their coverage of this case by commencing with their own culinary critique to explain recent courtroom antics, tactics, oversights and rhetorics. They then discuss the intricate details of the appeals process, when to grant or deny one and the implications to trial proceedings, media coverage and the impacts to victims. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As the JL boys continue to make friends and earn detractors within the judiciary and the legal community with their commentary of the “process”, the case at hand continues. And now it would be the turn of those left behind to tell their side of the damage done by the tragic and selfish actions of “The Prisoner” that took the life of their loved one. See omnystudio.com/liste...

Sean and Daniel continue their coverage of this case however before beginning they bring to the fore the ongoing battle of their own biases and belief in tendered evidence. Beyond challenged bias it is previously unheard information that challenges them to further ponder the prospect of how this may have impacted the outcome of this case. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The JL boys move from initial investigations to intriguing interpretations of information through to institutional interruptions as this anticipated court case has barely begun. In a short period we would hear details of an alleged kill, questions over a suspect will, a potential dispute for dollar bills and an incorrect administering of prescription pills. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy...

Sean and Daniel have the initial brief of this frustratingly fascinating case and while we seem to have the basic outline of the events it seems we are far from all the details. As allegations were laid what followed would be nothing short of a confusing exercise and examination into explanations, excuses and exceptionally exaggerated contradictions. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy informa...

The JL boys kick off a new series and we quickly learn that this will be one of the most intriguing, frustrating and devastatingly sad cases they have covered in a long time. And although it is said time heals all wounds this one will test how this theory is possible with no resolution, no opportunity and no time for the healing process to even begin. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy inform...

Sean and Daniel conclude their coverage of the curious case of corrupted condiments as courtroom process unfolds and common sense seemingly prevails with the outcome. However consideration would continue as a civil case commences and the principle concerns connecting religion, righteousness and right and wrong are contemplated. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The JL boys continue their coverage of a story that continues to create questions s and cause them to consider the crossover between congregation and consequences. In this episode they add the one element that was missing in all this, the names. As circumstances continue to unfold we learn about the who that is impacted by the what. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sean and Daniel kick off a new series with a case that quickly reveals far more than first appears, proving it tough to swallow and ultimately leaving a bad taste in our mouth. Between religion, righteousness, redemption and retaliation we’re challenged to consider our relationship with community, connection and the consequences of our actions. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy informa...

The JL boys conclude their series on arson where the ecosystem of court proceedings seems to be just as volatile as the weather system caused by the arson attack itself. And while exceptions and excuses wouldn’t disguise the guilt in this case, it appears despite 20 years and changes in law, the penalty doesn’t differ from where we began. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy informa...

Sean and Daniel attempt to understand the extenuating elements and the confusing  circumstances of conflicting timelines and alleged activity resulting in criminal charges. As arguments over evidence are anticipated and defense counsel’s involvement becomes inconsistent our story and indeed the case itself feels it is unravelling before our eyes. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy...

After the JL boys considered if “bats in the belfry” reside in a church or within the misguided mind of an offender they move to a more modern example of an act of arson. And the devastating effects are only rivaled by the offenders account of his actions even before we consider the questionable counter punching that occurred in the courtroom. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy in...

Sean and Daniel spend as much time scratching their heads as they do shaking them as the initial details of both a suspect and their suspicious activity are revealed. Perhaps most perplexing are the previous  similarities coming to the surface, betrayal of the countryside, the community and even down to the choice of combustible catalyst. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The JL boys cover, commentate on and consider the outcome of this first case along with the penalty applied as this would set a precedent for similar crimes still to come. And it’s a good thing they did as similar crimes come quickly when their next case has unique circumstances and explanations leaving us thinking “liar, liar, pants on fire”.

Sean and Daniel return to the Adelaide countryside and a community in crisis, considering why would their town be the target of repeated attempted arson attacks. Amongst this ongoing threat to peace, person and property it seemingly becomes worse by the unfolding realisation it is highly possible the threat was coming from within. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After the JL boys previously turned up the heat they now turn their attention to a crime that is probably not the first you think of when we talk about lengthy punishments. This starts out with a slow burn before the full force of potential devastation is realised yet it is the alleged perpetrator that really gets the community hot under the collar.

Sean and Daniel have never shied away from shining the spotlight onto those in positions of power, the ones supposed to administer and operate our establishments. This time around they pull no punches and leave nothing to the imagination as they unpack the data and the details of the deeds done by number of those within our judiciary.
