Episode #14
This episode gets into identify. How do we see ourselves? How do we define our own identity? Where is the line between being unique and being mentally ill? For criminal law purposes, which version of identify matters: how one sees themselves, or how society sees them? In this episode we set out to explore Father Hans Schmidt and analyze his identity. Was he sane? Insane? Or was he just a con man?
Episode #13
We continue to learn more and more about the dark world of Hans Schmidt as we find the backdrop and context that helped him become the man who would be infamous for being the first Catholic Priest to ever be sent to the electric chair.
Episode #12
In this installment of Famous or Infamous Trials , Dr. Josh Carpenter begins the story of Father Hans Schmidt, the only Catholic priest executed in the electric chair in the United States. Before reaching the murder and trial that made Schmidt infamous, the episode looks closely at his childhood in Germany, his intensely religious upbringing, early reports of unusual behavior, fascination with blood, and the family and psychiatric history that would later become central to his insanity defense. The episode also examines a recurring problem in criminal trials: how much weight should be given to childhood memories and family testimony reconstructed years after the crime? Dr. Carpenter explores the tension between evidence suggesting genuine psychological disturbance and the possibility that Schmidt and those around him later exaggerated parts of his history to support an insanity defense. The result is the beginning of a larger story about mental illness, criminal responsibility, religious obsession, and the difficult legal question of what it means to truly understand that an act is wrong.
Episode #11
In this episode, Dr. Josh Carpenter explains what happens after a judge signs an order—and the other side simply refuses to follow it. Using a fictional divorce involving missed possession exchanges, unpaid medical expenses, and property that has not been turned over, he walks through the fundamentals of enforcement, including why the exact language of the order matters, how to document violations, the importance of continuing to comply with your own obligations, and the difference between frustrating behavior and an actual enforceable violation. The episode also examines contempt, possession and access enforcement, property division, and post-judgment collection, while emphasizing that enforcement should be strategic rather than retaliatory. The central lesson is simple: winning a case and obtaining a signed order may only be the first step—sometimes you have to return to court to make that victory actually mean something.
Episode #10
In this continuation of How to Lose Your Case in 10 Easy Steps , Dr. Josh Carpenter returns to the fictional—and chronically self-defeating—client Bobby to cover the final four ways a litigant can sabotage an otherwise manageable case. From treating a deposition like an open microphone and showing up to court dressed for battle, to interrupting the judge and firing your lawyer shortly before trial, the episode uses humor to illustrate how poor judgment, emotion, and courtroom behavior can quickly undermine credibility and strategy. Dr. Carpenter closes the series by turning those mistakes into practical lessons for anyone involved in litigation: preserve evidence, communicate honestly with your attorney, stay off social media, prepare carefully for testimony, respect the court, control your emotions, and understand that even a strong case is never guaranteed. Ultimately, the episode emphasizes that successful litigation requires discipline and teamwork—and that clients should avoid becoming their own worst opponent.
