On July 24, 2003, Tonya Mitcham, a mother of four, was driving on I-75 in South Georgia in a severe rainstorm and was fatally struck by a Terminix Company utility truck, which slid out of control and crossed the median, killing Tonya and gravely injuring one of her surviving children, Mallory. The Terminix truck had extremely worn out tires, one with 87,000 miles on it, and was sent out in inclement weather despite two employee requests for new tires. The Insider Exclusive will show how Jim Butler and Matt Cook of the law firm of Butler, Wooten & Fryhofer revealed how Terminix concealed and covered up key statements of management employees, and how the Georgia’s Department of Transportation was liable because a blocked highway drain caused rain water to flood the roadway. This is the true story of justice for Tonya Mitcham and her family.

Featuring: Jim Butler and George Fryhofer
Time Warner’s $454 Million Breach of Fiduciary Duty: Six Flags Over Georgia v. Time Warner Entertainment, Inc.
Six Flags Over Georgia, featuring Batman: The Ride, is one of America’s favorite playgrounds. But for 5 long years it reflected one of America’s most historic courtroom battlegrounds, pitting a small group of investor/owners in a David vs. Goliath struggle against the group’s managing partner, one of the nation’s most powerful entertainment companies: The Time Warner Entertainment Affiliates! And even when Time Warner’s Vice Chairman, Ted Turner, took the witness stand to plead for leniency . . . he didn’t sway the jury one bit! The Insider Exclusive will show how Jim Butler and George Fryhofer, partners at the law firm of Butler, Wooten & Fryhofer, took on this Goliath (Time Warner) in one of the longest and biggest roller coaster rides in American legal history. And The Insider Exclusive will also show how the Time Warner Affiliates took the Six Flags owners for a big ride, stalling them, overcharging them and then systematically cheating them. This case went all the way from a little ole Georgia courthouse through the legal maze of the Georgia Court of Appeals, the Georgia Supreme Court, then on to the United State Supreme Court and back again for another round . . . until final victory with a record $454 million verdict that when paid with interest exceeded $626 million!

In this in-depth interview, Andrew Entwistle, Managing Partner of Entwistle & Cappucci LLP; William Black, a former S&L regulator, best-selling author of The Best Way to Rob a Bank Is to Own One and Professor of Economics and Law at the University of Missouri - Kansas City; and Steve Murphy, Host and Producer of the Insider Exclusive, analyze what's wrong with the American financial system.
Andrew, Professor Black and Steve expose how the collapse of government regulation creates an environment for bankers and executives to act with impunity. But it was more than greed and incompetence that hurt our financial system - it was fraud. By creating triple-A rated bonds out of ¡°liars' loans¡± - loans without verifying income, assets or employment - the federal government and the banking system set the stage for disaster in the real estate market and the broader economy. This drastic reduction in regulation is now responsible for the biggest banking crisis since the Great Depression. Andrew, Professor Black and Steve get to the heart of these financial shenanigans, and reveal the cost of governmental indifference.
William Black is a former S&L regulator, best-selling author of The Best Way to Rob a Bank Is to Own One and Professor of Economics and Law at the University of Missouri - Kansas City. He was the Executive Director of the Institute for Fraud Prevention from 2005-2007. He has taught previously at the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin and at Santa Clara University, where he was also the distinguished scholar in residence for insurance law and a visiting scholar at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics. Bill is also the author of The Best Way to Rob a Bank is to Own One (University of Texas Press 2005), an insider's account of the savings and loan debacle of the 1980s.
