Pranks and jokes are usually funny to people but sometimes the joke can turn on you. In this episode we talk about a recent case in Northern Virginia where a social media prankster gets shot after trying to make someone else a victim of one of his pranks. We discuss what types of charges can come from this, the right to involve others in your pranks, when a prank goes too far, and who should be charged in these type of scenarios and with what charges.

You wouldn’t take advice from someone you have never met or spoken to directly, right? If you were bleeding profusely, you wouldn’t listen to a podcast in hopes of a bandage somehow materializing over the internet and onto your 3D printer. Seeking actual legal advice can be just as important as a tourniquet. The hosts of this podcast are in no way intending to create an attorney-client relationship with any listener. Sorry. We are sure you all are great people but we cannot stress enough how little we know of you and your case and rather than risk an awkward moment, let us just remember we have never met. Nothing on this platform be taken as legal advice for any individual case or situation! We are just a group of friends with differing opinions and viewpoints which we will try to explore through discussions of current events, law changes, and whatever else floats our fancy.
