L&O S8 E5 "Nullification"

Defendant: That flag has fringes. This is a military tribunal. Judge: Bullshit.

Defendant: That flag has fringes. This is a military tribunal. Judge: Bullshit.

It's an armored car heist! No! It's actually a militia hoping to overthrow the government! And as long as there are fringes on that American flag, the defendants consider themselves prisoners of war.

We're looking at a classic L&O season 8 episode 5 "Nullification." Our guest is retired Lt Col James Weirick of the Military Justice podcast.

The original episode is inspired by the real life cases of anti-government militia activity of the 1990s.
