Descripción

For decades, people have heard the same advice after a DUI stop: "Don't blow." But is that actually good advice? In this episode of Both Sides of the Bench, former prosecutor and Mississippi criminal defense attorney Shaun Yurtkuran breaks down the reality behind refusing a breathalyzer. Learn the difference between roadside breath tests and the Intoxilyzer, why refusing can trigger a 90-day license suspension, and why the famous "I only had two drinks" explanation never seems to work. Shaun shares practical, real-world insight from both sides of the courtroom and explains why legal myths often sound better than they work in practice. If you've ever wondered whether refusing a breath test helps or hurts your case, this episode is for you.

WHO ARE YOU DATING? How Other People's Crimes Become Your Problems

Could your significant other get you arrested? This Saturday on Both Sides of the Bench, we're talking about constructive possession, spousal privilege, and why dating the wrong person can sometimes turn into a criminal case. If drugs are found in a house, whose drugs are they? And if both of you get arrested, can your spouse testify against you? We'll also break down the Broadmoor shooting that led to a murder charge and discuss why the answer to "Can I shoot someone breaking into my car?" isn't as simple as most people think. Plus, the Mississippi Supreme Court has agreed to hear the Saint Patrick's Day murder case involving Jordan Cummings, putting self-defense law back in the spotlight. 📻 Saturday • 11:00 AM 🎙️ 103.9 WYAB 📱 Live on Facebook & YouTube Watch who you date. Watch who you marry. And for the love of God, watch whose drugs are in your house.
