68 - Menzel v. List: The Case of the Looted Painting
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 1932, the Menzel family purchased Marc Chagall’s painting,</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">Jacob’s Ladder</span><span style= "font-weight: 400;">, and hung it in their apartment in Brussels, Belgium. But as the Nazi regime advanced, the Menzels, fearing for their own safety, fled Brussels for the United States, leaving their Chagall painting behind.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After the Allied Forces declared victory, the Menzels returned to their Brussels apartment, only to find their Chagall painting missing. The Einsatzstab Rosenberg, a Nazi Party organization responsible for looting cultural property like artwork, had stolen it during the war. But the Menzels were not about to let the fascists take anything else from them. They were determined to find and retrieve the Chagall.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mr. Menzel passed away in 1960, but his widow, Erna, refused to give up on the painting. In 1962, she found it. And the legal case that would follow was controversial and precedent-setting in New York State, the art world, and the field of post-war damages and reparations.</span></p> <p>Patreon: <a href= "http://www.patreon.com/DasCriminal">http://www.patreon.com/DasCriminal</a></p> <p>Sources: <a href= "https://bit.ly/3ygv9Fz">https://bit.ly/3ygv9Fz</a></p>

67 - Marco Muzzo & The Driving While Intoxicated Epidemic
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On Sunday September 27th, 2015 Marco Muzzo landed at Toronto Pearson International Airport. He was returning on a private jet from a trip to Miami. He got into his SUV and drove off, reaching 85 kilometers per hour (or ~53 mph).</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At around 4:10 PM, Muzzo’s SUV sped past a stop sign in Vaughan (a city in Ontario, north of Toronto and within the GTA), smashing a family minivan. Gary Neville, 65, was killed instantly. Children Daniel (9), Harry (5), and Milaga (Milly, 2) Neville-Lake also died from their injuries. Neriza Neville and Josephina Frias, also in the minivan, were severely injured. The children's father, Edward, would later die by suicide.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode, we dissect this case and the controversy surrounding the sentencing and parole of Marco Muzzo, as well as better solutions to the epidemic of driving while intoxicated or under the influence.</span></p> <p>Patreon: <a href= "http://www.patreon.com/DasCriminal">http://www.patreon.com/DasCriminal</a></p> <p>Sources: <a href= "https://bit.ly/3ygv9Fz">https://bit.ly/3ygv9Fz</a></p>
