Amity Island has more than a shark problem....it has legal liability. Joshua Gilliland is joined by his friends Steve Chu and Kathy Steinman to discuss the municipal liability in the 1975 classic JAWS in honor of the film's 45 anniversary. Was Mayor Vaughn right to keep the beaches open? Was the medical examiner pressured by the mayor to change to cause of death for the first shark attack victim to "boating accident"? Is Amity legally responsible for the death of Alex Kitner? What about the dog? Join Josh, Steve, and Kathy, as they set sail on a voyage of legal analysis.
