- Description
- The clock is ticking down to the November 3rd election, and new polling suggests that Democrat Xavier Becerra has a commanding 18-point lead in the race for Governor, leading Republican Steve Hilton by 55-to-37-percent in a recent UC Berkeley IGS/LA Times poll. That race, and how Becerra could lead the state if those numbers bear out, is the subject of a new, baseball-themed column from legendary L.A. Times Capitol Journal Columnist George Skelton: "Xavier Becerra won't deliver the Home Runs - or Strike Outs - Racked up by Newsom, Schwarzenegger." The column compares Becerra to a "small ball" player, who won't be swinging for the fences, but also won't be striking out trying to hit home runs. Skelton joins Micah Ohlman and Cher Calvin to discuss how Becerra would lead as a "small ball" player, how he's using the same mentality to run his campaign, and whether any polling should be trusted given new reporting that a poll for Los Angeles Mayor was completely fake, used instead as a "soci...

- Description
- Some 30 years after the 1996 killing of rapper Tupac Shakur, the murder trial of the man accused of orchestrating the killing, Duane "Keffe D" Davis, is now underway in a Las Vegas courtroom. Davis, a former gang member from Compton, is not accused of pulling the trigger, but instead of orchestrating the killing, prosecutors are working to establish revenge and retribution as a motive, the culmination of a long-running, bicoastal hip-hop rivalry. Davis' defense, meanwhile, is working to make the argument that the statements from Davis that link him to the killing are embellishments, and that words from Davis himself are outright lies and fabrications. With more on the case, and the arguments being laid out, Cher Calvin and Micah Ohlman are joined by criminal defense attorney Lou Shapiro. Shapiro also weighs in on the case of Nick Reiner, accused of killing his parents Rob and Michele. This, as the younger Reiner is fighting in civil court to tap into his trust fund in order to handle l...
