From Soulmates to Cellmates - Episode 5

This week on Both Sides of the Bench, criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor Shaun Yurtkuran breaks down how modern relationships, breakups, smartphones, and social media are creating criminal cases in Mississippi every single day. We discuss domestic violence charges, protective orders, no-contact orders, harassment laws, revenge porn statutes, gun rights, and the growing role phones, screenshots, texts, and social media posts play in criminal investigations. What is the difference between a protective order and a no-contact order? Can a misdemeanor domestic violence conviction affect your federal gun rights? Can repeated texting become a criminal offense? What happens when private photos get used as revenge after a breakup? We also discuss celebrity examples involving Sean Combs, Johnny Depp, Amber Heard, Tiger Woods, and others to show how digital evidence now dominates modern relationship disputes. Because relationships no longer just end. Now they leave behind screenshots, Ring camera footage, deleted messages, and evidence. Real law. Real cases. Real-world consequences.
