FOX LiveNOW: Legal Analyst Andrew Lieb on Michigan School Shooter Ethan Crumbley
Attorney Andrew Lieb joined LiveNOW from Fox to delve into the intricacies of the Ethan Crumbley case, where he stands as a school shooter facing a Miller Hearing. The crux of this hearing transcends the mere evaluation of the crime committed; rather, it necessitates a meticulous examination of crucial factors. These include the defendant's age at the time of the incident, the surrounding circumstances that culminated in this tragic event, and most importantly, the potential for rehabilitation.
Throughout the interview he discussed Rehabilitation vs. Punishment. Is the primary goal of our criminal justice system to solely seek retribution and deterrence, or should it earnestly emphasize the opportunity for redemption and reformation?

Newsmax: Attorney Andrew Lieb Talks About Mental Illness & Whether It's An Excuse For Being Late To Your Job
To qualify for accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a condition must be a statutorily recognized disability. Currently, chronic tardiness related to mental health doesn't meet this criterion.
If recognized, it must then be proven that the employer doesn't face undue hardship due to the employee's unpredictable timekeeping.
Lieb advised employers against bending rules for certain groups to avoid creating a reverse discrimination scenario. He advocated for strict, fair policies that benefit all employees and ensure genuine accommodations for recognized disabilities aren't undermined.

FOX LiveNOW: Political Legal Analyst Andrew Lieb Discusses Trump's Status as Criminal Target in Jan. 6 Probe
During the interview, Lieb emphasized the lack of surprise surrounding Trump's involvement in the probe, citing previous cases involving the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys leaders as precedent. He noted the existence of an active Grand Jury in Washington, D.C. together with the target letter, indicating the likelihood of future charges against Trump.
Lieb highlighted the potential consequences of multiple indictments, discussing the existing charges in New York and Florida. He acknowledged the differing jury compositions in Washington, D.C., and Florida, underscoring the impact of juries on legal proceedings compared to media influence on public perception.
Regarding the implications of facing charges in multiple jurisdictions, Lieb differentiated the New York case, centered around false business records, from the cases in Washington, D.C., and Florida. He also alluded to the possibility of future charges in Georgia and New Jersey, outlining the significant challenges Trump could face if indicted on multiple fronts.
Lieb stressed the importance of patience and cautious evaluation of official indictments. He recommended relying on credible sources such as the PACER system for accurate information on federal court filings.
Scripps News: Employment Attorney Andrew Lieb Talks about In-N-Out Banning Workers From Wearing Masks on Scripps
In Attorney Andrew Lieb's discussion about the legality of In-N-Out's mask policy with Scripps News, Lieb emphasizes its potential issues regarding discrimination. Although it's legal in the majority of states as a general matter, the way the policy is worded could inadvertently lead to discrimination by not providing exemptions for religious reasons. He suggests that employees might have a chance to oppose this policy through unionization, concerted activity, or lawsuits related to religious accommodations and disability accommodations.
Before pursuing a medical exemption, Lieb advises employees to consult a discrimination lawyer to better understand what counts as a statutorily recognized disability that would qualify for such an exemption. He also addresses the problematic nature of the restaurant chain's requirement for only company-provided masks, which could fail to accommodate those who might need different kinds of masks due to their religion or medical condition. He specifically points out that "Many Muslim women might need to cover their face. So the way they articulate it is really problematic and potentially discriminatory."
FOX LiveNOW: Legal Political Analyst Andrew Lieb Talks About Trump Expecting To Be Indicted Over January 6.
In this interview with FOX liveNOW, Attorney Andrew Lieb unpacks the emerging legal crisis facing 16 Michigan residents who have been indicted for allegedly forging documents tied to the 2020 election as fake electors. While the First Amendment guarantees their right to advocate for Donald Trump's election victory, it does not permit fraudulent actions, such as posing as electors when they clearly were not.
Lieb also delves into the curious case of Trump's unique approach to legal challenges. The former president's strategy of pre-empting legal indictments via social media puzzles many from a legal standpoint, yet it effectively rallies his supporters in the political context.
Analysing Trump's current predicament, Lieb suggests that an indictment over his involvement in the January 6 events appears increasingly probable, given the current trajectory of the investigations.
Key Points:
- Serious charges loom over 16 Michigan residents for allegedly falsifying and filing elector documents.
- Trump's preemptive social media tactics might score political points but are legally confounding.
- A looming indictment for Trump appears likely considering the "target" letter and the progression of investigations so far.
In Lieb's words, "It's a legally bewildering scenario. You can just picture his attorneys at their wit's end, wondering why he's openly taunting prosecutors. From a legal perspective, this is an unorthodox, almost reckless approach."
