(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) This is another **Reb's Round-Up** episode—A rapid-fire (or as rapid as Reb can make it) list of cases that deserve to be included in the Rebuttal Podcast universe but are too short to devote a full episode to.
For this Round-Up, Reb gives you *7 bonus cases* with a few important lessons:
Tailgating into CIA Headquarters is frowned upon;
Try NOT to know where the prison you escaped from is located;
Don't take a ride on a metal bumblebee;
And more…
Enjoy!

(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) Death row inmate David Wood is the focus of the five-part podcast series "The Last 12 Weeks". What his case can tell us about the death penalty in America expands far beyond the six murders he was convicted for.
Not only does the system sentence people to death based on arbitrary biases like race, income, and political capital—The system convicts people they know you’ll hate. And it keeps getting away with it.
A special thank you to our guest Maurice Chammah for providing invaluable insight into the death penalty and David Wood’s case for this episode. Follow Maurice on Instagram.
