Law360's Pro Say: The Lawyer Who Lived 'Wild, Wild Country'

(May 4, 2018, 10:16 PM EDT) -- On the latest episode of Law360's Pro Say podcast we're joined by Robert Weaver, one of the lawyers featured in Netflix's binge-worthy docuseries "Wild, Wild Country," who tells us all about what it was really like to prosecute the leaders of a cult.

Each week on Pro Say, Law360 staffers Amber McKinney, Bill Donahue and Alex Lawson bring you inside the newsroom and break down what you need to know about key legal developments.

If you've watched "Wild, Wild Country," you know the story of a free-love cult that took over a ranch in Oregon quickly becomes a legal tale of charges related to bioterrorism, immigration fraud, wiretapping, and attempted assassination. This week Robert Weaver, one of the prosecutors who lived through the wild events depicted in the show, gives us his inside perspective.

Also this week, we discuss two big employment developments — a $100 million class action filed against Morrison & Foerster for alleged pregnancy bias and a California ruling that will make it easier for workers in the gig economy to be classified as employees.
