Accused Teens Laughing in Court, Sex Trafficking at Motel 6, and Nevada Day

The two teens accused in the fatal hit and run case showed up in court this week for their trial date — and were caught laughing and apparently “flipping off” the victim’s family. Internet commenters have responded with fury — but aside from the family’s allegation, where is the evidence they made that gesture? Today, host Dayvid Figler sits down with producer Layla Muhammad and contributor Vogue Robinson to talk about the nuance in covering this fraught case, how clickbait headlines can obscure facts, and whether or not these teens are being tried in the court of public opinion before their actual trial. Next up, we talk about the woman suing a Vegas Motel 6 for allegedly turning a blind eye to her sex trafficking, and last but not least, we talk about how real Nevada Day (October 31st) turned into Nevada Day observed (the Friday before) and what we’re up to this weekend.
