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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy inform...
