A breakup, three college students, a truck—and enough peanut butter, honey, syrup and feathers to turn heartbreak into a criminal case.On this episode of You’re Free to Go, criminal defense attorneys Guy Fronstin and Marc Nurik open the case files and share two stories from early in their legal careers.Guy takes us back to 1992, when he was still in law school and working as a certified legal intern in a prosecutor’s office. His case involved three young women accused of taking revenge on an ex-boyfriend by covering his truck in sticky food and feathers. What initially looked like a strange criminal-mischief case became one of Guy’s earliest courtroom battles—and put the rookie prosecutor across from a highly experienced defense attorney. Pasted textWith no confession and initially little direct evidence, Guy describes how investigators pieced the case together through store footage, purchases of feather pillows and food products, and testimony establishing that the ex-girlfriend had access to the truck. Pasted text He also reveals the closing-argument move he used to catch the veteran defense lawyer off guard—and what happened when the judge finally delivered the verdict.Then Marc reaches back into his own career for the story of a federal agent who was pulled over, arrested and jailed after her identification fell from her hand during a traffic stop. Marc explains how the incident eventually became a civil case against the sheriff’s department and why the story took another shocking turn months after the settlement.
