A Criminal Minds legal podcast. Each week we take one episode of the infamous CBS show and go over just how much of a legal predicament these wacky profilers have gotten themselves into. Hosted by a journalist and a law student, each week we hope to answer the question "is any of this admissable?"
This week, we follow New York's finest on a case that really shows how the power of mom erotica. That's right, for Christmas we watched an episode of Law & Order: SVU. Lee and special guest star Graham introduce Hope to an especially heinous episode with their favorite character. (Warning, the audio on this episode has some crunchy bits. Listen at your own risk.)
