If you're ready to cut through the noise and look at the legal nuts and bolts of a high-profile case, this episode is for you.

Welcome back to Lawyer Talk, where legal complexity meets candid conversation. In this episode, host Steve Palmer and law student Troy dig into a headline-grabbing case involving none other than Don Lemon. With curiosity circling both Steve Palmer’s personal life and professional inbox, they explore the legal intricacies surrounding Lemon’s recent charges—which stem not from political allegiance, but from the application of the FACE Act (Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act).

Together, they break down what the FACE Act actually covers, how it applies to protests at both abortion clinics and places of worship, and why Don Lemon’s role—whether as a protester, journalist, or something in between—is at the heart of the controversy. The conversation stays refreshingly nonpartisan, focusing on the facts, the law, and the bigger constitutional questions of freedom, protest, and selective prosecution.
