Illegal Searches, Dead Lawyers & Botched Executions: Fourth Amendment Deep Dive
Podcasts > The Attorney Patrick Smith Show
Saturday, October 3, 2026
Attorney Patrick Smith and the full crew dig into two of the most practical (and slightly morbid) legal questions of the week: illegal searches and seizures under the Fourth Amendment, and what actually happens to your case—and your lawyer’s staff—if your attorney dies.
From landmark cases (Mapp, Katz, Weeks, Carpenter) and the exclusionary rule to Florida’s inventory-attorney requirements and the hilarious sealed envelopes Patrick’s own staff wrote about their “immediate action items” if he kicked the bucket, this episode is pure radio gold.
Isaiah gets an update on the botched Tennessee execution he almost witnessed, Jeff Deardorff of the Yankees organization stops by to plug free high-school baseball at TD Ballpark, and Surf’s Up with Maddie the Surfer Girl brings the latest on Krista Pike’s failed lethal injection, a Cornell fraternity civil suit, and a warrantless blood-vial grab that finally got tossed.
Plus the usual caller questions, Uber shedding-fee follow-ups, Oktoberfest remote-broadcast plans, and sports predictions. Real law, real stories, real fun. Call 800-771-1025. Heart and soul on the airwaves—stay safe, God bless, and Go Gators!
