It’s no secret that Kris Kringle, aka Saint Nicholas, aka, Santa Clause is the head of a global crime syndicate, but what you may not know is the depths and extent of his crimes. This week we have one of our favorite law professors, Corinna Lain, to help walk us through some potential crimes that may have been committed by this red suited, grandma trampling fugitive. We cover a range of crimes from unlawful entry to possible violations under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations act. They also discuss the difficulties of jury selection and possible criminal culpability of the elves and even Mrs. Clause!
