Devin Stone, adjunct law professor and host of LegalEagle on Youtube, returns to WIRED to answer more of your burning questions about criminal law.
What’s the difference between a felony and a misdemeanor crime? Is the death penalty unconstitutional? Could Luigi Mangione be found ‘Not Guilty’ at trial? Is any of what Elon Musk and the so-called US DOGE doing legal? Is training AI to create images stealing other people’s art or simply fair use? How do we prevent deepfakes from making video evidence worthless?
