Benjamin Crump and the Civil Suit Business Model

Attorney Benjamin Crump enters the narrative, representing the Jean family in a civil suit. Mo deconstructs Crump's business model, comparing it to Al Sharpton's "ground game" but updated for the internet era. They discuss how high-profile attorneys use media appearances and protests to create leverage for multi-million dollar settlements, often framing the case around "living while black" to maximize public pressure.
