I Bet It's a January 6 Case

Episode notes

Just after we discovered who our neighbors were, Lauren got called to serve as a juror on a January 6 case. About 1,500 people have been charged for their actions on January 6.  Like many of them, the defendant in Lauren’s case had no previous criminal record. We get uncomfortably close to the dilemma of how to punish this unique category of defendants.
