Bonus! New York public defender Liz Skeen joins Gavel Gavel to break down what's been happening in the Luigi Mangione trials!
GG54 - Wayfarer v. Lively 19 Join as these rootin' tootin' scrutin' gavelistas unravel the most insane day or two of messages and nonsense. This required like 4 different recordings and re-recordings because it is so complicated.

GG52 - Wayfarer v. Lively 17 We're back on our Blake beat. Together we can finish this effing complaint (and the attachment)
It's a new Gavel Gavel trial! We are excited to announce that we will be producing a totally new full trial re-enactment working from our EXCLUSIVE access to the transcript of the federal prosecution of Sean Dunn, better known to the world as the "Sandwich Guy" after being federally charged for assaulting a CBP officer with a fully-loaded 12-inch Subway sandwich on the streets of DC. But before we get to the meat of 2025's Trial of the Century, legal sandwich artist Matt Cameron is here to slice up everything you need to know. From Dunn's notably underreported motive to the significance of the date and location of the alleged assault to a shot-by-shot analysis of the only known video of the incident, we've got this one wrapped. U.S. v. Dunn docket Sean Dunn's GoFundMe Video of Sean Dunn throwing a Subway sandwich at a uniformed CBP agent near 14th and U in Washington DC on August 10, 2025 U.S. v. Dunn complaint (filed 8/13/25) Sensationalized video of Dunn's arrest in his house by a swarm of federal agents posted on the official White House X account (8/14/25)

In the patron-only segment, we chat about Dale's own experience with a Hollywood lawsuit, in which he and his colleagues sued Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire to free the film they made back in the 1990s, Don's Plum.

Wayfarer v. Lively 16 - It's the last sub-chunk of the November mega-chunk and there's some fun stuff in here! Baldoni and Heath cannot tell when people are obviously lying to them, and also we get some previously unseen Jones/Abel texts!
Wayfarer v. Lively 15 - It's here, baby! The most massive self-own. Can't wait for you to hear it.
Wayfarer v. Lively 14 - It's Book Bonanza time! Apparently Blake outright STOLE the movie file and showed it to hoards of people without permission or authority??? ARREST HER. Or....maybe that's not what happened. Support the show, get rid of ads, and get bonus stuff over on patreon.com/gavelpod!
Wayfarer v. Lively 13 - The CH words continue to CH. Wayfarer's own complaint continues to be bad for them.
Wayfarer v. Lively 12 - Gavelheads and Chunkarinos, it's the end of the month and you know what that means! Chunks, chunks, chunks chunks chunks chunks, chunks! We begin this month's Chunkmas exactly where we left off last time. It's more Wayfarer v. Lively! But we're weirdly excited about it this time. There's a lot of stuff we haven't seen before and it's not good for WF parties at all.

Wayfarer v. Lively 6 - We're back! Apologies for the big delay in normi-sodes. This chunk was released on Patreon and then our horrendous October schedule prevented us from doing the released that we wanted to on here.

We are so, so sorry. We have to do this. It's time to listen to and break down Justin Baldoni's nearly 7-minute voice memo to Blake Lively. BUT! We have some great analysis, clock investigation, and commentary on some curious reactions from when this was released. This episode is like the vegetables you need to eat before getting dessert... Well, if those vegetables had salmonella, e-coli and several other kinds of infectious bacteria. But then after your vegetables, and a long hospital stay, you can have the dessert of more Wayfarer v. Lively complaint!
Wayfarer v. Lively 4 - It's time to take on one of the most infamous messages of this entire saga. Khaleesi and her dragons. But also, Baldoni has no idea when someone is blowing smoke. It seems like he thinks everyone loves him all the time. Support the show, get rid of ads, and get bonus stuff over on patreon.com/gavelpod!
