Lots of awards were handed out in New York this weekend. The annual Tony Awards were given to the best Broadway productions of the year. But no amount of theatrical showmanship could top what happened in the Belmont Stakes.
American Pharoah completed horseracing's elusive Triple Crown. Finishing a few lengths behind him in third place was Keen Ice, who is part-owned by two Connecticut residents. This hour, we speak with one of the local owners.
Also, a recent decision by the United States Supreme Court may already affect a trial in Connecticut. The Elonis v. United States decision makes it more difficult to prosecute people who make threats on social media. Edward Taupier is on trial for threatening a family court judge via email. We speak to his attorney about what the Supreme Court decision means for her client's case.
GUESTS:
- Frank Rizzo - Theater writer for The Hartford Courant and Variety
- Rachel Baird - Attorney representing Edward Taupier
- John Buckley - Part owner of Keen Ice, who showed in Belmont Stakes
