The Unfortunate Application of Statutes of Limitation and Davino Watson (Opening Arguments OA92)

In today’s episode, Andrew reluctantly — but definitively — opines that the Second Circuit got the law right in dismissing out the claims of Davino Watson, who argued that he was falsely imprisoned by the U.S. government for 3 1/2 years.

We begin, however, with a question about Donald Trump from conservative listener Sage Scott. Is it really a big deal to just listen to the Russians? Couldn’t you just pay them if their stuff turns out to be useful? No. The answer is no.

In our main segment, Andrew explains why statutes of limitation are necessary and why the Second Circuit got it right in dismissing out Watson’s false imprisonment claim even though the circumstances are awful.

Next, the guys break down Rod Wheeler’s defamation lawsuit against Fox News. Why is this part of Yodel Mountain? Listen and find out!

Finally, we end with an all-new (and fiendishly hard!) Thomas Takes the Bar Exam Question #35 about a hospital’s duty to third parties when releasing a patient with homicidal ideation. Remember that you can play along with #TTTBE by retweeting our episode Tweet along with your guess. We’ll release the answer on next Tuesday’s episode along with our favorite entry!
