A two-week trial that saw clashes between union reps and reality television producers wrapped up in Boston this week after a jury acquitted four Teamsters of trying to strong-arm their way on to a production team for the popular cooking show Top Chef. We’re joined by court reporter Brian Amaral, to share some stories from inside the courtroom. Also on this week’s show, the hosts discuss a trial where DirecTV could be on the hook for $4 billion for allegedly misleading customers about subscription fees, a defamation suit against the New York Times filed by a professor who says he was misquoted to make it seem like he defended slavery, and an Illinois lawyer hit with a disciplinary complaint after creating a bogus dating profile for a rival attorney.
