Russell Lucius Laffite Was Granted A New Trial Nov 20, 2024

Russell Lucius Laffite was one of the bankers that worked with Alec Murdaugh to steal money from his clients. He's been granted a new trial because the court removed an alternate without giving the defense an opportunity to object without the defendant present.

He will most likely be out on bail like the last trial. I'll keep an eye on it and let you know when a new hearing is scheduled. This is a federal case, so it won't be televised.

TikTok Psychic Defamation Case Gets Denied A New Judge Nov 20, 2024

In a Memorandum Decision and Order, a judge found that the TikToker misrepresented the facts of the case when stating that the judge who found her liable for defamation was biased. The case will go back to the same judge who ruled on the summary judgement and will have a hearing on damages.

A lot of filings happened in the Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Criminal Case. The government is accusing Diddy of continuing to reach out to witnesses, intimidate witnesses and flout the rules of federal detention while being detained!

The Defense accuses the Prosecution of searching through the defendant's cell phone which has attorney-client-privilege information. There will be a hearing on these matters on Friday, November 22nd but I'll be surprised if he gets out of custody.

Quick Bits: Shannon Beador Face Lift Lawsuit. Judge in the YouTube Chat! Bench Trial in the Laken Riley Case. Nov 18, 2024

In the trailer for part 2 of The Real Housewives of Orange County Reunion, Bravo made it seem like Shannon Beador said she won a facelift lawsuit against John Janssen. I pull up the lawsuit and break down that it is still ongoing and in the settlement conference phase, but no conclusion has been made. When watching the episode, it is later revealed that Shannon was saying that she won a defamation lawsuit against John Bellino.

Kouri Richins is also back in court. She has been denied bail again, but she has won a motion to sever the murder charges from the financial charges.

Judge King usually live streams his court proceedings. It has been uncovered that he sometimes has the YouTube chat open and will post comments to the live chat. Judge King also has a Civil case against him for doing a "Scared Straight" version on a 15-year-old girl that was at the court for a field trip. The student had a hard time staying awake at court and the judge found that disrespectful to him and proceeded to do a mock trial to her based on her behavior.

The Laken Riley Murder trial has begun and many people have questions about where the jury is. This is a Bench Trial where the judge is the finder of fact. I breakdown why that is the case and the facts of the case without the graphic details.

What did Diddy do now? His attorneys are asking for bail again while holding his appeal on pause for when it doesn’t work. Diddy’s lawyers continue to go after the prosecution's case while arguing that the Government's case against Diddy isn’t strong.

Kouri Richins, the Utah mom accused of poisoning her husband with a laced Moscow mule, asked the court to reconsider her bail and was denied after a hearing on November 12th, 2024. The Commonwealth prosecutors would like to remind everyone that when you give media interviews, they may be used against you.

The new special prosecutor has brought a renewed motion seeking interview audio and notes from Gretchen Voss who interviewed Karen Read on multiple dates for Boston Magazine. They are hoping to use her ‘confessions’ to facts about the case in that interview, and likely others, in her second trial. Karen Read and her lawyers will be back in court November 13th, 2024 on a motions hearing. Will the court agree to continue the trial until April?

The YSL RICO prosecution in Georgia started with jury selection in January 2023. On October 31st, 2024, the case came to a shocking end for the lead defendant, Jeffery Williams, AKA Young Thug. Young Thug’s attorney, Brian Steel, made it clear he wasn’t happy with his clients' choice to plea open to the court without a plea deal secured after negotiations with prosecutors broke down. It became apparent in the hearing that Young Thug wanted to get out of custody and was willing to sign up for an extensive probationary period to accomplish an immediate release from custody.

Plus, last week, we learned that the Grand Jury investigating Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is ongoing and hearing from witnesses. Diddy’s lawyers are pissed that one of those recent grand jury witnesses is speaking to the media and is allegedly ‘shopping’ a video of Diddy before that testimony. The court asked for an immediate response from the defense, and we may soon see a hearing on a Gag Order in the federal prosecution.

Quick Bits: More Indictments for Diddy. Logan Paul and KSI Sued by Messi. Young Thug Release from Court! Nov 04, 2024

Control Body Odor ANYWHERE with @lumedeodorant and get 15% off with promo code EDBQB at https://LumeDeodorant.com! #lumepod #ad

The Grand jury for the Sean Diddy Combs criminal prosecution is continuing to deliberate. One of the Juror’s attorney told the media that they witnessed a video of Diddy victimizing celebrities.

In one of the Buzbee civil cases, a judge ordered that Jane Doe's name be released or the case will be dismissed. I will go more in depth on Wednesday's 'The Emily Show'.

Jeffery Williams, AKA Young Thug, was released from court on Halloween 2024. He pleaded open to the court and the judge gave him 40 years with 5 served in custody, 15 years of probation, then backloaded 20 years if there is a probation violation. I will also go into more detail on this decision on Wednesday.

Logan Paul & KSI have been sued by Lionel Messi because they accused Mas + of copying Prime drink’s aesthetic. Messi would like the court to make a decision if they infringe on the trademark and trade dress.

The prosecutor in the Menedez Brothers case recommended resentencing. I explain why, if the judge agrees on December 11th, 2024, they will not be let out right away.

Sarah Boone was convicted of Second Degree Murder after just an hour and half of jury deliberation. I will cover the sentencing on December 2nd, 2024.

Shasta County and its sheriff’s office, agreed to settle the improper seizure of a then 9-year-old girl’s goat called Cedar for $300,000 while Mark Longo’s pets - Peanut the Squirrel and Fred the Racoon - were seized and euthanized by the New York Department of Environmental Conservation. It’s such a sad story and I will update you if a lawsuit is filed.

After the first part of her testimony, her Defense argued there were overt acts in order to present a battered spouse syndrome to the jury. The motion was granted.

Cross Examination was very short and focused more on getting a timeline. There is a possibility that the Prosecution with add a lesser charge of manslaughter to this case.

Sean Diddy Combs requests a gag order to limit what is being said while more civil cases are filed against him. He doesn’t want the civil case to poorly affect his criminal case as witnesses make so called “inflammatory statements” about him.

The ACLU of MA filed an Amicus Brief in support of Karen Read echoing many of the sentiments that her attorneys have made. As of October 20th, 2024, Detective Lieutenant Brian Tully will no longer serve as unit commander of the state Police Detective Unit.

New evidence in the Menendez Brothers case might get them resentenced. Roy Rossello, a member of the Menudo, came forward about being sexually assaulted by the Menendez Brothers’ father at their home. Their cousin also wrote a letter stating that he knew about the Menendez Brothers’ abuse before the first trial that didn’t come into evidence on the second trial.

Quick Bits: Alex Murdaugh Boat Crash Settlement. Donna & Charlie’s Conflict of Interest. Girardi Retrial? Oct 21, 2024

The headlines are saying that Alex Murdaugh settled the Mallory Beach Boat Crash case. I break down the settlement filings to get a complete understanding of what happened with this case. We are still waiting on rulings with regard to 'Courthouse Becky’s' case.

Charlie Adelson is requesting a new trial because his attorney, Mr. Rashbaum, who represented him during the trial where he received a guilty verdict, had previously represented his mother, Donna Adelson, during the investigation process of the case. This conflict of interest with an attorney could cause a problem during the appellate process and I will keep an eye on what decision will be made in the future.

Tom Girardi is also asking for a new trial on the basis that he was not competent to stand trial during that time. Tanya McAlpin, a person who was hired by the Girardi family to transport him from the living facility to the court, wrote an affidavit explaining that he would say things and behave in ways that showed he was not aware of what was going on. I hope to be there in person on December 6th to see the ruling.

Sarah Boone Trial Day 1 - Summary Oct 19, 2024

Opening Statements in the Sarah Boone Trial were presented by both the Prosecution and Defense. The State was able to get through 10 witnesses on Day 1 which is an impressive feat. Among the civilian witnesses were Jorge Torres's Bother, Sarah Boone's Ex-Husband and the apartment neighbors.

The state was able push in a lot of evidence through witnesses like the 911 operator, the assistant store manger, deputy sheriffs at the scene and the CSI forensic biologist. The defense said that Sarah Boone is expected to testify next week. If the first day is any indication of the speed of the evidence, the trial might be done before the three weeks the judge has allotted.

Sarah Boone Pre-Trial Motions Summary Oct 18, 2024

Sarah Boone was arrested in 2020 for Second Degree Murder of her boyfriend, Jorge Torres. She said they were playing hide and seek and she zipped him up a suitcase. Police found a video in Sarah’s phone of Jorge Torres pleading to be released because he couldn’t breathe. She is heard mocking and taunting him. Sarah has gone through eight different state appointed defense attorneys. The judge said that she was going to have to represent herself due to her behavior. Boone wrote an advertisement and is now being represented by a private attorney.

I covered both pre-trial motion hearings for Wednesday, October 16th and Thursday, October 17th. The court has ruled that until Sara Boone takes the stand and establishes the legal grounds or foundations for a self-defense claim, the evidence of that can't come in. We're not going to see an expert or a witness testimony before Sara Boone gets on the stand to testify about any self-defense or battered spouse syndrome or similar.

Sarah Boone’s Trial began jury selection on Monday, October 14th. Opening Statements will most likely begin on Thursday, October 17th. I’ll be providing gavel to gavel coverage of the trial so get the Law Nerd App to stay in the loop!

Boone is charged with Second Degree Murder of her boyfriend, Jorge Torres. She claimed that they were playing around while she was drunk and put him in a suitcase and accidently forgot about him overnight. She called the police after she found him dead from suffocation. The police went through her phone and found a video of Jorge pleading with her to release him from the suitcase because he couldn’t breathe. Boone instead taunted and laughed at Torres. She was arrested in 2020 and has remained in custody. Boone has had 8 public defenders and had to represent herself because she would not work with her appointed representation. Boone put out an advertisement and managed to get a private attorney to take on her case. Last week, she rejected a plea deal for the lesser charge of manslaughter serving 15 years.

Sean Diddy Combs is facing six new civil cases filed against him by attorney Tony Buzbee, with more on the way. These cases will be added to the federal criminal case if there is sufficient evidence. Diddy’s attorney defended his client stating that they have full confidence in the fact that he didn’t do the things claimed in the lawsuits. His attorney’s will most likely claim that Diddy cannot adequately represent himself from the barrage of civil litigation while in custody. We’ll see what the judges will rule in early November.

Lots of trial dates set, but we will see if any of them stick. Bryan Kohberger is set to start trial in August 2025, and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is set for trial in May 2025. It’s unlikely that Diddy will go to trial in May as scheduled due to the amount of digital evidence in the case. Diddy is still trying to be released from custody and is asking to have his appeal argued in early November.

Even when cases go to trial, it doesn’t mean they are done as Alec Baldwin has been learning. Prosecutor Kerri Morrissey is still pursuing her motion to have the court reconsider dismissing Baldwin’s case with prejudice. That isn’t set for hearing yet. Hopefully, we will get a hearing date soon.

In a surprise move that avoids a trial altogether the CFO of Girardi Keese, Christopher Kamon, took a plea deal and pleaded guilty on October 11th, 2024, with a sentencing date not set yet.

Tupac’s family hired Alex Spiro, Alec Baldwin’s attorney in the Rust case, to investigate if Diddy has any connection with the murder. Kefee D, who is charged with the murder of Tupac, wrote a book called "Compton Street Legend" and said that Diddy ordered the hit on Tupac. He also says that the only two people who are alive from that night are himself and Suge Knight. Will they speak up?

Diddy also has a new judge, Arun Subramanian, assigned to the case which means that his attorneys can have 2 more opportunities to make their case to get Diddy out of custody. He also has new attorneys assigned to the case, Anthony Ricco and Alexandra Shapiro. Alexandra is an appellate attorney and is signed on the appeal of the denial of bail. Interestingly she is also the appellate lawyer for Sam Bankman Fried and filed his appeal for a new trial. Shapiro was also a clerk for Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

High-profile Houston attorney Tony Buzbee did a press conference stating that he will be bringing individual civil cases against Sean Diddy Combs. So far, he has accepted 120 clients and plans to file them within 30 days. He said that some of the victims were as recent as 2024 and one victim claims that they were as young as 9 years old when they were assaulted by Diddy. Buzbee plans to also name those who facilitated and helped cover up the abuses.

Quick Bits: Menendez Brothers Getting Out of Prison? Diddy Investigated for Tupac's Murder? Oct 07, 2024

The evidence after two trials seems clear that Lyle and Erik Menendez murdered their parents in Beverly Hills in 1989. They were convicted after their second trial in 1996. The brothers filed a Habeas petition asking the court to vacate the conviction based on new evidence. On Thursday, 10-3-24, District Attorney Gascon stated there will be a hearing at the end of November.

Tupac’s family hired Alex Spiro, Alec Baldwin’s attorney in the Rust case, to investigate to see if Diddy has any connection with the murder. Now that Diddy is in custody, that investigation may be easier to do. It would be natural to question Keefe D and Suge Knight. I will cover more Diddy updates in this week’s podcast.

Karen Read’s retrial has a new special prosecutor who will be paid up to $75k for the prosecution. Hank Brennan's, who worked on the defense team for Whitey Bulger, has an hourly rate is $250 per hour.

Hannah Gutierrez motion for New Trial, Dismissal and Immediate Release was denied by the judge. A decision still hasn’t been made in the Alec Baldwin motion to reconsider the dismissal of his case.

Jury election for the Sarah Boone case begins on Monday, October 7th. She was arrested in 2020 for the murder of her boyfriend. She said they were playing hide and seek and he hid in a zipped up suitcase. Police found a video in Sarah’s phone of Jorge Torres pleading to be released because he couldn’t breathe. Sarah has gone through 8 different attorneys. The judge said that she was going to have to represent herself due to her behavior. Boone wrote an advertisement and is now being represented by a private attorney using the battered spouse defense. The court denied the motion to suppress her police statements.

Netflix and Fiona Harvey and going through mediation for the Baby Reindeer Show Lawsuit. However, Netflix also filed an Appeal to the Anti-SLAPP denial. I will keep you in the loop. He went into court to formalize the plea and sentencing hasn’t happened yet.

The headlines are saying that one of the doctors in the Matthew Perry case has plead guilty. This is the same doctor we talked about that took the deal before the case went to court.

Hannah Gutierrez Motion for New Trial, Dismissal & Immediate Release Was Denied Oct 05, 2024

Hannah Gutierrez was denied the motion for New Trial or Dismissal and Immediate Release. She still has a hearing set for Monday October 7th to be sentenced for brining in a firearm to an establishment that sells liquor.

Her attorney can choose to appeal the decision but it is likely that he won't. There are still ongoing cases with the Rust case such as the civil lawsuit and the judge hasn't made a decision with the prosecution's motion to reconsider the dismissal of Alec Baldwin's case.

Alex Murdaugh's Appeal on Federal Financial Crimes Was Denied Oct 04, 2024

Alex Murdaugh was sentenced federally for conspiracy to commit wire fraud, bank fraud, and money laundering. Murdaugh made a plea deal with the feds to plea guilty because he had already admitted to the crimes during the the state's murder trial.

The judge sentenced him to 40 years which was more than the prosecution recommended. The judge said they did this to send a message to deter attorneys who may want to steal from their clients.

Alex Murdaugh Appealed the sentencing but the government dismissed it because part of the plea was that he would not appeal the decisions that would be made. Murdaugh's murder case is still going through the appeal process for new trial due to Becky Hill's interference and his appeal on the murder conviction is still on hold. But as far as the financial crimes brought by the Feds, that case is now closed.

Karen Read's attorneys filed their Opening Briefs to the Supreme Judicial Court in Massachusetts. The prosecution's response is due by October 16th and then Read will have a chance to reply by October 25th. Oral Arguments will most likely be at the end of November 2024 to hopefully get a decision by December 2024. There is a high likelihood that the defense will ask for the retrial to be scheduled further out.

The Baby Reindeer Civil Lawsuit has a trial date set for May 2025. Netflix has filed a request for Dismissal and Anti-SLAPP. Netflix provided a Declaration from Richard Gadd many exhibits proving Fiona Harvey sent Richard Gadd harassing emails, text messages, voice mails, and also accusations of stalking a Member of Parliament's wife. These exhibits show that Harvey did do the things detailed in the mini-series but was not a "beat-by-beat" recount of what happened. The Judge denied the Anti-SLAPP motion but granted in part the motion to dismiss, reducing some of the causes of action, leaving only the Defamation and Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress. The line in the Netflix show “this is a true story” ended up being quite persuasive to the Judge.

Quick Bits: Diddy’s Roommate. Kohberger has a new Judge. Mr. Beast gets sued again. Sep 30, 2024

MrBeast's Beast Games and Amazon Prime have a class action lawsuit filed against them in California. This is interesting because the production happened in Nevada but the plaintiffs live in California. We'll see if jurisdiction will be granted in this case. Let me know if you want a deep dive into these claims.

Diddy's attorney did an interview with TMZ and claimed that Costco had a sale on baby oil which is why he stocked up. Costco put out a statement clarifying that none of the US stores carry baby oil. It is also reported that Diddy's new roommate is Sam Bankman-Fried while he is in the Metropolitan Detention Center.

Bryan Kohberger had his first hearing with the new judge and venue. It was more of a status conference and the trial might get pushed to September 2025. Judge Steven Hippler made it clear that he wasn't happy to be there and will work faster than they are used to.

Hannah Gutierrez was in court to see if she could get her case dismissed or recieve a new trial. If Gutierrez is granted a new trial she will immediately be released from custody and the defense will request that a new special prosecutor will be assigned to the case. The judge listened to the defense and the prosecution and took it all under submission and promised to make a ruling in a week.

The 11th Circuit came back after oral arguments on the Todd and Julie Chrisley's Appeal and upheld the trial court's actions. They did however send Julie's case back to resentencing and her attorney argued that she should get five years instead of seven. The judge kept it at seven years stating that she already has below the federal minimum. Unfortunately, that puts her back to the same place.

Bryan Kohberger New Judge & Venue Hearing Summary Sep 28, 2024

Bryan Kohberger's hearing on September 26th, 2024 was a Status Conference with the new judge.

Judge Steven Hippler made it clear that he wasn't happy to be there and will work faster than they are used to. He also made sure he was aware of how the attorney's conducted themselves with the last judge and he wasn't going to stand for it in his courtroom.

The Judge wants the trial to begin in June 2025 but the Defense wants it to begin in September 2025. The judge took it under submission and will make a decision some time in the future.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was arraigned in the Southern District of New York today on a three-count indictment. If convicted, he faces a minimum of 15 years in prison and a maximum of life. After a detention hearing that lasted more than two hours, he was held without bail until trial.

The Defense is appearing before the assigned Judge on September 18th, 2024, before the assigned District Judge. It’s unlikely he will be released based on the charges he is facing, the allegations, and the concerns over his power, money, and influence being used to contact or influence victims and witnesses.

Some of what I learned in court today makes me wonder how this went on for so long and was known about by so many without any consequences. But this case has a long way to go before trial, and I will be interested to see what else comes out.

Justin Timberlake pleaded guilty to a traffic infraction driving while ability impaired to resolve his DWI case in the Hamptons. The public safety announcement in front of the Sag Harbor Police Department was part of the plea deal that knocked down the misdemeanor charge he was facing to a non-criminal traffic violation.

Karen Read filed an appeal to motion to dismiss counts one and three to the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts. The defense argues that the jury acquitted Karen of charges one and three even though they didn't mark it on the jury forms. They relitigate that retrying her for counts one and three violates double jeopardy. They are asking for oral arguments.

On Thursday, September 12th, 2024, Harvey Weinstein was indicted again in New York. According to Law360 reporting, the indictment will remain sealed until Weinstein is arraigned, which has yet to happen due to his deteriorating health. According to Weinstein’s representative he was rushed to the hospital on Sunday, September 8th, 2024, for emergency open heart surgery.

In his status conference in Illinois, Girardi wasn't present and prosecutors asked to continue to the pre-trial conferences until December 18th, 2024. They indicated that they may drop the charges against Girardi after his sentencing on December 6th, 2024 in Los Angeles.

The Bryan Kohberger trial moves to Ada County's Fourth District located in Boise and gets appointed a new judge, Judge Steven Hippler. This means that trial dates and other deadlines are now subject to change.

In the infamous viral clip, Redden is accused of leaping over the bench and attacking a Las Vegas Judge Holthus. He was charged with Attempted Murder of a victim 60 years of age or older. On the second day, after hearing the testimony of Judge Holthus and her law clerk, Redden pleaded Guilty but Mentally Ill. He has a sentencing Hearing on November 7th.

Now, the Defense also wants his work phone extracted for the 2025 Retrial. Prosecutor Adam Lally has concerns about this request and I have my own worries about the relevancy of the information it may contain.

On Friday, September 6th, Karen Read was interviewed on ABC's 20/20 show. I share my initial thoughts on the show and what this could mean for the upcoming retrial in 2025. I will go more in depth in this week's podcast episode.

The Commonwealth filed motions to block defense attorneys from getting the full extraction of Trooper Proctor's work phone. His personal cell phone was turned over, but now they are trying to get into his work phone. I will go more in depth about that on Wednesday's podcast episode as well.

For last week's podcast, I went over the arrest of former Police Officer, Matthew Farwell, for the murder of Sandra Birchmore and the Feds charging him with Killing a witness or victim. I answered some of the questions you had in the comment section of the video and what could come next.

Governor Healey of MA brought in Lieutenant Colonel Jeffrey Noble from New Jersey as the new Head of State Police. Not only is it good news to appoint someone from outside the state, I wouldn't be surprised if they end up under a consent decree.

Kari Morrisey filed a fifty-two page motion to reconsider Alec Baldwin's dismissal with prejudice on a request to exceed the page limit. The Judge denied the state's motion for extension of page limits and cited case law that talks about deterring frivolous filings. Kari Morrissey can technically refile this motion again but it has to be within the 10 page limit.

On February 4th 2021, a pregnant Sandra Birchmore was found deceased in her Canton, Massachusetts apartment. The case was initially ruled a suicide however an internal affairs investigation was opened and led to the resignation of Matthew Farwell, his twin William Farwell and Deputy Chief Richard Devine, all prior to them being interviewed as part of the ongoing investigation.

On June 18th, 2024 a pathologist hired by Birchmore’s family determined that Sandra Birchmore died by homicide, not suicide. The pathologist was hired in relation to the family's wrongful death action against the department and the officers who had resigned.

On August 27th, 2024, former police officer, Matthew Farwell, was arrested for the murder of Sandra Birchmore and charged with killing a witness or victim. Farwell has a detention hearing set for September 12th, 2024 at 2pm ET and a Status Conference Hearing on October 17th, 2024.

Quick Bits: Read Sued For Wrongful Death. Richins & Kohberger Had Hearings. Doctor In Perry Death Takes A Plea. Sep 02, 2024

Control Body Odor ANYWHERE with @lumedeodorant and get 15% off with promo code EDBQB at https://LumeDeodorant.com! #lumepod #ad

The latest headlines in the Matthew Perry case state that the doctor taking a plea in the case is a Dr. Chavez, not Dr ‘P’. This is not new to the Law Nerds because as I broke down in The Emily Show podcast, Dr. Chavez is one of the three defendants who had already taken a plea deal. He made his first court appearance on August 30th and was allowed to remain out of custody on a $50K bond and may not practice medicine as a condition of his release.

The ex-husband of Kyle Richards, Mauricio Umansky, is being sued over Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans taken during the COVID pandemic. The US is suing on behalf of Relator LLC., claiming the loan was taken under false pretenses as the company was not finanically struggling during that time and a jury trial is being requested.

Kouri Richins had a preliminary hearing last week that lasted two days. The judge determined that there is probable cause to move forward with a jury trial. Richins pled not guilty and her trial is scheduled for May of 2025.

Bryan Kohberger had a change of venue hearing last week, where the defense brought in their witnesses to explain the results of the surveys. The defense and prosecution had an opportunity to make their arguments to the Judge, and he took them into submission and will make a written ruling some time in the future.

Karen Read, CF McCarthy’s & The Waterfall Bar & Grill were sued for the wrongful death of John O’Keefe. The lawsuit was filed by John’s brother Paul O’Keefe, his father John O’Keefe II and his mother Margaret O’Keefe, as well as additionally on behalf of his niece. I will monitor this civil lawsuit closely and provide updates in the future.

Kouri Richins is accused of murder for the death of her husband Eric Richins. She was arrested over a year after his death and after she wrote a children's book about grief.

Her communications from jail, the 'walk the dog letter', and her Google searches, 'luxury prisons for rich people,' are just a part of what has kept this case in the headlines.

A preliminary hearing is a process to determine if there is enough evidence to hold someone over for trial. There is no jury present and the judge is the finder of fact.

The O'Keefe's blame the bars for overserving Karen Read and causing her to make reckless decisions that lead to John's death.

The 80-year-old disgraced lawyer, Tom Girardi, was convicted on all counts and is facing 80 years in federal prison. His sentencing will be in December 2024.

Disney stated that the couple had signed up for a Disney+ trial in the past and the terms of service state that the consumer’s right to a jury trial in any dispute would forever be barred. Disney lawyers also claim there is an arbitration clause when you get a Disney park ticket as well.

In the Alex Murdaugh case, the Supreme Court granted a direct hearing of his appeal about his motion for a New Trial, which Justice Toal had previously denied. They will also take up if South Carolina will keep the standard that requires a defendant to show that the jurors were impacted and in any way prejudiced.

The Tom Girardi trial should end this week and jurors might make a decision depending on when they get the case goes to deliberation.

The LA Innocence Project took on the Scott Peterson Case this year. DNA testing on a piece of duct tape found on Laci was granted. We are waiting for the results and if something comes out of that, then a bid for a new trial can be made.

U.S. Gymnast, Jordan Chiles, was stripped of her floor exercise bronze medal in the 2024 Olympics. I break down the law behind the Court of Arbitration for Sport's ruling and some things that don't add up.

I also review the statements made by the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG), USA Gymnastics, the US Olympic & Paralympic Committee, and the International Olympic Committee.

The Young Thug RICO trial has resumed with Kenneth Copeland's testimony. He told prosecutors under cross-examination that he lied to the detectives so that he would not be held in custody. The court denied the defense's motions to dismiss so the defense attorneys have taken a writ.

As of Monday, August 12th, Tom Girardi was on day four of his trial. I went over the witness covered right before I began filming the podcast. The prosecutors are already done with half of the witnesses on their list, so this should be a fast trial.

On Friday, August 9th, Karen Read had a hearing for the oral arguments toward the motion to dismiss. The Defense is asking the court to reach out to all 12 jurors to know if they were unanimous on counts 1 and 3. The Prosecution has countered that doing so would be inquiring into the jurors’ deliberative process. The Judge took all arguments under advisement and will make a written ruling.

On Thursday, August 8th, Kouri Richins had a hearing on the motion to disqualify the prosecution. The court denied that motion and there will be a preliminary hearing in the last week of August which I will be covering on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel.

The Judge in the Alec Baldwin Rust case filed a written motion detailing the dismissal. Kari Morrisey, the prosecutor in the Hannah Gutierrez case, filed a snarky opposition to having a new trial and disagreed with the judge’s decision to dismiss the Alec Baldwin trial.

The court has denied the defense’s motions to recuse the prosecutors in the Young Thug case. The defense intends to appeal the decision. The trial resumes on August 12th, and the new judge will ask the jury if they can strike Kenneth Copeland’s testimony. If that can not happen, the judge will declare a mistrial and seek a new jury.

Tom Girardi’s trial is now underway. The strategy is to shift the blame for the client’s stolen money to the CFO, Chris Kamon.

Quick Bits: Tati Settles! Hannah Gutierrez Asks for Immediate Release. Karen Read’s Upcoming Hearing. Aug 05, 2024

Filed in October 2020, the years-long litigation between Tati Westbrook, Halo Beauty, and her former business partner is finally over. On July 31st, 2024, a stipulated order to dismiss with prejudice was filed. On August 1st, 2024, Tati posted on YouTube that the case had settled, that she was stepping away from Halo Beauty, that she retains the rights to her name, and that she would be looking at other cosmetics and perfume products going forward.

The Court of Appeals has granted Hannah Gutierrez's request to have the defense's motions, including one for a new trial, reviewed by the lower trial courts. The defense asked for an immediate release while the litigation is ongoing.

In a rather snarky response, Kari Morrissey argued that the motion for immediate release is premature and should not be addressed until the motion for a new trial is decided. Morrissey also asserted that the defense’s case was not significantly affected by any missing elements, despite the absence of an expert report, and thus does not warrant a new trial.

Hayley Paige's 2020 lawsuit is also now finally resolved. The court of appeals gave Hayley Paige back her Instagram account and she has subsequently settled the lawsuit with her former employer JLM Couture for over $260,000 allowing her to move forward designing under her name.

The TikTok Psychic Defamation case continues as TikTok relitigates its claims when responding to the professor's opposition to removing the judge and amending the judgment.

Two more officers in the Karen Read case are under internal investigation. Trooper Bukhenik and Lieutenant Tully were in the group chat with Trooper Proctor when he disparaged Karen Read.

A scheduling hearing is on the calendar for July 22nd, 2024. The court will hear oral arguments regarding the dismissal of counts one and three on August 9th, 2024. I break down count two in the podcast. The trial is scheduled to begin on January 27th, 2025, to account for the possibility of an appeal.

Logan Paul is suing YouTuber Coffeezilla, alleging defamation related to the CryptoZoo project. At the heart of the lawsuit is Coffeezilla’s portrayal of CryptoZoo as a scam, and Paul’s claim that his comments have damaged his reputation.

The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee has also sued Prime Hydration, a sports drink company founded by social media influencer Logan Paul. The lawsuit alleges that Prime Hydration LLC infringed upon several trademarks of the USOPC including phrasings such as Olympic, Going for the Gold, and Team USA.

An injunction is being requested to further prevent infringement of these terms, which may be granted due to the rights the USOPC has over these phrases.

As court systems around the US move into the digital age, many of them are being attacked by ransomware.

As the hearing for a new trial approaches in the Karen Read case, new filings have emerged, including an affidavit from an anonymous juror requesting an extended order to protect juror anonymity due to significant safety concerns. The judge granted the request by sealing the jury list indefinitely.

The Scandoval lawsuit has had several additional motions. Ariana Madix’s Anti-SLAPP motion was denied, while Rachel Leviss and her father filed an affidavit detailing the emotional distress and financial costs incurred due to Tom and Ariana’s actions.

Tom Sandoval filed a cross-complaint against Ariana, seeking the court's declaration on liability percentages for damages. Tom posted on Instagram that he fired the attorney who filed the cross-complaint and rescinded the filing.

Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney were sued by Chef Penny of “Their Something About Her Sandwich Shop”. Per the complaint, chef Penny Davidi claims that the duo did not honor the terms of her role as COO and Director of Culinary at the restaurant. Let me know if it is something I should do a deep dive into.

Defense attorney Jason Bowles filed a motion for a new trial or dismissal in the case of armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed. Bowles alleges that a significant amount of information was withheld from the defense, including two reports from one of the state's weapons experts, a complete interview with Seth Kenney, and 900 pages related to state witnesses.

Judge Ural Glanville, presiding over the YSL RICO trial, was ordered to be removed from the case on Monday. A new judge has been assigned and the trial will proceed on August 5th.

In a summary judgment, the court found the purported TikTok Psychic liable for defamation against a professor at the University of Idaho. The TikToker filed a motion to amend the filing and remove the judge from the case.

Finally, Tom Girardi's federal criminal trial for stealing client funds has been scheduled for early August.

On October 21st, 2021, Alec Baldwin accidentally shot and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured Director Joel Souza. Alec Baldwin has subsequently been charged with involuntary manslaughter, which, if convicted, could land him in jail for up to 18 months.

The trial begins on Tuesday, July 10th, 2024. Hannah Gutierrez was the armorer on set who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter for failing to identify that the prop gun was loaded with a live bullet instead of a dummy round. She is scheduled to be transported from custody on Saturday, July 13th, 2024.

Does this mean she might be on the witness stand even though use immunity was not granted to her by the judge?

Jury Selection was completed on Tuesday, July 9th, 2024, with the jury consisting of 11 women and 5 men.

Kouri Richins “Walk The Dog” Letter Breakdown May 29, 2024

I break down the Kouri Richins infamous “Walk The Dog” letter found in her jail cell. She claims this letter was part of a fictional book she was working on. The prosecution disagreed with that sentiment and requested sanctions be placed on Richins.

On Monday, Kouri Richins wrote a statement claiming her eagerness to proceed with the trial and prove her innocence. Eric Richins's estate put out a statement saying that they are confident in the judicial system and there will be enough evidence for a jury to convict her.

We still have a long way to go before a trial can be set. First, Kouri needs a new defense attorney, then the preliminary hearing needs to happen.

The prosecution had leaked the date of the indictment to the New York Times, cut off witnesses during their testimony, and didn't reach out to other possible witnesses' attorneys to let them know they might be needed for that hearing. The judge stated that they would make a written ruling this week and with the amount of questions the judge had, it is possible that the dismissal could get granted.

Kouri Richins’ defense attorneys filed a motion to disqualify the prosecution and to designate the "Walk The Dog" letter as attorney-client privilege. Subsequently, the firm withdrew from her case. This will delay Richins's preliminary hearing that is currently set for June.

CNN published a video of Diddy assaulting Cassie at a hotel in 2016. The Los Angeles Police Department said it was aware of the video but was unable to charge Diddy due to the statute of limitations. Cassie's lawyers put out a statement about the video, “The gut-wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of Mr. Combs. Words cannot express the courage and fortitude that Ms. Ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light.”

Diddy posted a video apology on Instagram stating that he is disgusted with his conduct in the video while he still keeps up the post stating that didn't do things alleged in the lawsuits against him.

I also summarize week 3 of the Karen Read trial as more civilian witnesses take the stand. We finished Friday with the direct examination of Jen McCabe and expect that cross-examination will be spicy on Tuesday.

I broke down the Bryan Kohberger Hearing on May 2nd, 2024. The defense and prosecution agree that the hearing scheduled for May 16th, 2024 should be closed but do not agree that the hearing on May 14th, 2024 should also be closed.

Ann Taylor argues the hearing on May 14th should not be closed because it is in the interest of Kohberger's 6th Amendment Right to have a public trial. The prosecution argues that the proceedings before the public trial are not obligated to be in the public and that they need to balance the interests, privacy, and sensitive information as a right to a fair trial.

Judge John Judge ultimately sides with the prosecution to have a closed hearing on May 14th, 2024 signing a subpoena for the FBI to produce evidence for cell towers, amongst other things, that should have been provided over 6 months ago.

Scandoval Lawsuit. Ariana Madix wants it dismissed. Tom Sandoval blames Rachel May 08, 2024

The co-stars of Vaderpump Rules - Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval - have responded to Rachel Leviss' lawsuit against them. Ariana Madix has filed an Anti-SLAPP motion requesting the whole claim against her be thrown out and her attorney's fees paid.

Ariana states that she never distributed the video to anyone. Ariana also states that she recorded a clip of the video from Tom's phone and sent it to Rachel with a text stating "You are DEAD TO ME".

Tom Sandoval filed a Demurrer to Complaint and Motion to Strike. His attorneys claim that the video file he obtained was created by Rachel and sent to Tom by her. Rachel Leviss' attorney has also put out a statement stating that she never created and sent the video to Tom Sandoval and Ariana's account of how she discovered the relationship is false.

Rachel has since said that she will continue to pursue the lawsuit.

Although the settlement terms are private, there is much to be learned from the court documents, and today I will be going over all of them.

The previous trial date has been vacated, and the only remaining issue is payment to Britney’s former lawyer, Sam Ingham. I expect that matter to be resolved next month.

In this week's Quick Bits, I explain why Harvey Weinstein's 2020 conviction was overturned and whether that affects the California conviction for which he is currently serving a sentence on a separate sexual assault charge.

Karen Read finally has jurors for the trial but has moved to a different courtroom where the jurors can better see the witness.

The Alec Baldwin case has been updated with more filings between the defense and prosecution.

The judge in the Bryan Kohberger case allows the potential juror survey to continue in Latah and other surrounding counties.

Veronica Butler and Jilian Kelley's bodies were found after they were reported missing on March 30th, 2024. Veronica Butler was going through a custody battle with Tifany Adams who is her children's paternal grandmother. The children's father was in rehab during the time of the disappearance. Jilian Kelley was the person who was authorized to supervise visits.

Subsequently, Tifany Adams and her boyfriend Tad Cullum, as well as married couple Cole and Cora Twombly were arrested on April 13th, 2024, and held without bond. The charges include 1st-degree murder, kidnapping, and conspiracy to murder in the first degree.

Cora's teenage daughter, CW, bravely told OSBI that she overheard the group's plans for the homicide, the existence of 2 burner phones and that she was forced to clean the truck after the murders and the previous attempts on Butler's life. With a considerable amount of digital evidence, we'll see if this tragic case goes to trial.

The TikTok Psychic defamation case had a hearing for summary judgment. Both the plaintiff and defendant had a chance to argue their cases. The judge will decide in writing soon.

Bryan Kohberger filed an alibi stating that his phone records would show that he was not in the area at the time of the murders.

Alec Baldwin gets a new prosecutor added to his case. And the Oklahoma Texting Judge ended up costing the state over $111K in attorney's fees.

Karen Read is accused of murder in the second degree, driving under the influence, and fleeing the scene of a hit and run of her police officer boyfriend, John O'Keefe. The prosecution and defense paint different pictures of what happened on the night of his death.

The prosecution claims that Karen and John had problems in their relationship and that she ran him over with her car while drunk, before fleeing the crime scene. The defense states that Karen dropped off her boyfriend at a party with his work colleagues and that it is more likely that he was attacked in the home before being left outside in the blizzard to die. Karen also claims she is being set up by the cops as a cover-up for their actions.

A Federal investigation is also currently being conducted but has not yet concluded. In contrast to the prosecution's evidence, Federal investigators say that they do not believe John O'Keefe was hit by a car.

The jury selection begins Tuesday, April 16th, 2024, and I will be covering it gavel to gavel!

Quick Bits: Hannah Gutierrez's Jail Calls! Diddy & His Son Are Sued. Bryan Kohberger Had A Fiery Hearing. Apr 15, 2024

Hannah Gutierrez's attorney requested the court to do a conditional discharge which places her on probation with certain conditions. Upon the successful completion of that probation, there will be no conviction on her record. The prosecution responded that Hannah is eligible for a conditional discharge, however, it should not be granted because other felonies are pending and cites failure to accept responsibility due to what was said in the recorded jail calls.

I'll be live on the Emily D. Baker YouTube channel to cover the sentencing on Monday, April 15th at 11 am CST.

The state responded to Alec Baldwin's motion to dismiss the indictment. The state detailed how they followed the rules of the grand jury and why the trial should move forward. They also explained the reason for rescinding the original plea deal. The state says that after they extended the plea deal to Alec Baldwin, they never responded to the email, told a reporter about the nature of the plea deal, commissioned a documentary about the shooting, and pressured witnesses to be interviewed in the documentary.

In a new filing, Diddy and his son, Christian "King" Combs, were sued by a crew member and bartender on a yacht. The attorney representing this case is the same attorney representing Lil' Rod. In an unrelated case, the attorney has been referred to the discipline committee for filing cases in federal court to boost media attention.

Bryan Kohberger had a fiery hearing. The TikTok Psychic was mentioned by the survey expert, Bryan Edelman, as part of misinformation that is floating around about the case. A video of the prosecutor, Bill, was used as an example of disseminating information.

Bill accused Edelman of tainting the jury pool and Edelman said he was so angry it made him cry. The judge didn't make a ruling but did push back the change of venue hearing to June 27th, 2024, and kept the May 14th, 2024 Hearing to go over a motion to compel.

On Friday, April 5, 2024, news broke that Sean ‘Puffy’ Combs and his son Christian were sued in Los Angeles. This suit was referenced in Lil Rod’s lawsuit, with a note that a suit would be forthcoming. The suit's allegations stem from incidents on the Holiday Yacht trip that are also detailed in Lil’ Rod’s suit. Unsurprisingly, this plaintiff and Lil’ Rod have the same attorney, currently under fire in New York Federal court. The attorneys for UMG brought to the court's attention a court order in an unrelated case brought by Attorney Blackburn wherein the court ordered him referred to the discipline committee of the federal court. In a comment given to the media, attorney Blackburn states that the two things have nothing to do with the other. One thing is clear: these cases aren’t slowing down.

On the podcast, I covered Sean 'Diddy' Combs’ most recent lawsuit from Lil' Rod and its connections to the subsequent raids. An arrest was made of his supposed drug mule and there is a high possibility that Diddy will also be arrested in the future. Rumor has it that the feds have been talking to Kefee D. regarding Diddy's possible involvement with the murder of Tupac Shakur and Shug Knight had a message for Diddy from prison.

Alex Murdaugh was sentenced to 40 years in prison and ordered to pay over $8.7 million in restitution for federal financial crimes. This is in addition to the two life sentences for the murder of his wife and son and 27 years in prison for state financial crimes.

Bryan Kohberger had a new hearing because his lawyers were surveying the residents of Latah County via telephone without the court's knowledge. The prosecution revealed the questions that were asked to the citizens as they believed it violated the non-dissemination order.

The judge scheduled a hearing for Wednesday, April 4th to see if they can draft better questions for a new survey. I will be covering that on the channel as well as Tom Girardi's trial, which has been moved to August 6th, 2024.

A lot has happened since Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs settled with ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. Four people have sued Diddy and federal agents have since raided his three homes. I wouldn't be surprised if all or some of his accusers have been cooperating with the feds to build a case against Diddy.

I go over the second amended complaint filed by Lil' Rod and how his initial filing could have led to the federal investigation. Statements made by Diddy's lawyers and Homeland Security imply a broader operation and I suspect the raid was done to preserve digital evidence of illegal activities in the homes.

Although Diddy hasn't been arrested, that doesn't mean he won't be in the future. Brendan Paul was arrested during the raid and is suspected of being Diddy's drug mule. There is a high possibility that Diddy could be charged with Federal RICO charges.

Prosecutors may go as far back as 1999 and the infamous Club New York shooting when looking at the RICO charges. Diddy was dating Jennifer Lopez at the time and this may have broader implications.

There have also been rumors that Keefe D could be cooperating with the authorities in connection to this investigation. Suge Knight has also recently sent a message to Diddy about the raids and possible future imprisonment. This is wild!

Quick Bits: New Ruby Franke Details. Will Alex Murdaugh lose his plea deal? Baldwin wants his case dismissed. Apr 01, 2024

Control Body Odor ANYWHERE with @lumedeodorant and get 15% off with promo code EDBQB at LumeDeodorant.com ! #lumepod #ad

There was a massive release of videos, photos, and interviews related to the Ruby Franke and Jodi Hildebrandt case, including both women’s arrest and interview videos, interviews with Ruby’s estranged husband Kevin Franke, and her journal.

When police arrived to search Jodi’s home, she was already on the phone with her lawyer and kept her lawyer on the phone for a substantial amount of time. Ruby not only exercised her right to remain silent but mostly simply blinked at law enforcement while looking outraged that they had arrested her.

The federal government wants to break its plea deal with Alex Murdaugh ahead of his April 1st, 2024 sentencing on 22 federal financial crimes. Federal Prosecutors had offered Alex Murdaugh a plea deal based on his truthful interviews and disclosures about any criminal activity, where the proceeds of the crimes have gone etc.

For that, they would ask that the sentence on the federal crimes run concurrently with the state financial crimes, for which he is already serving 27 years. Since Alex's plea deal will not move forward, the judge will most likely apply an upward variance from the proposed guideline ranger.

Alec Baldwin’s attorneys filed over 700 pages in support of their Motion to Dismiss the grand jury indictment, arguing that the prosecution gave inappropriate jury instructions to the grand jury and that the prosecution acted in bad faith when they failed to present exculpatory evidence.

The prosecution has extended time to respond and the court hasn’t set a hearing on this yet. However, the trial date in July will be here before you know it. Hannah’s defense made an emergency motion for a new trial and release, in a hearing on March 29, 2024, the court denied both motions and reminded counsel that the sentencing would go forward as scheduled on April 15, 2024.

Kouri Richins is now facing 11 charges, including counts of attempted murder, mortgage fraud, insurance fraud, and forgery. The new information brings to light that Kouri had previously tried to poison Eric on Valentine's Day, had an affair, confessed to wanting out of the marriage but couldn't leave because she would be left with nothing under the pre-marital agreement, and had no idea she wasn’t going to be the beneficiary of Eric’s estate.

Now that Hannah Gutierrez has been convicted of manslaughter, what does this mean for Alec Baldwin’s case? His team has filed for dismissal of the grand jury indictment, arguing that the prosecution gave improper jury instructions, acted in bad faith, and failed to present exculpatory evidence.

It also came to light that Baldwin was offered the same plea deal provided to first assistant director Dave Halls, but the prosecution withdrew the offer ten days before Baldwin’s deadline to accept. The court has since ordered and ruled on the proper instructions for the Grand Jury.

I am interested to see how the prosecution responds to this voluminous motion.

Control Body Odor ANYWHERE with @lumedeodorant and get $5 off of your Starter Pack (that’s over 40% off) with promo code EDBQB at https://lumedeodorant.com ! #lumepod #ad

Alec Baldwin has filed a motion to dismiss the grand jury indictment claiming an error with the jury instructions. It is also revealed that the prosecution offered Bladwin the same plea deal given to Dave Halls - six months of unsupervised probation and a misdemeanor charge. But in a curious turn of events, the prosecution withdrew the offer 10 days before the offer expired and indicted him.

Hannah Gutierrez has filed a new trial motion because of a New Mexico Supreme Court decision unrelated to her case. The prosecution responded to the motion and a hearing has been set for Friday, March 29th. I will cover it on my long-form channel.

Kouri Richins’ warrant was unsealed. There was speculation that her mother helped plan Eric Richins’ murder. There will be a Preliminary Hearing on May 15th.

Lastly, there was a breakdown of a Bryan Kohberger hearing from February 28th. It consisted mainly of discovery status and scheduling deadlines. No trial date has been scheduled yet. A hearing for the Motion for Change of Venue has been scheduled for May 14th.

Last week the trial of Hannah Gutierrez, the armorer on the set of Rust, ended. She was convicted of Involuntary Manslaughter and acquitted of Tampering with Evidence. Gutierrez was remanded into custody right after the conviction and will likely be sentenced in April.

If you at all pay attention to pop culture, you have probably heard of 'Scandoval', the cheating scandal that rocked the Bravoverse.

Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix were in a 10+ year partnership, co-owned a home (subject of another lawsuit), and shared their relationship on the long-running Bravo show Vanderpump Rules.

Fellow VPR cast member Rachel Leviss started a seven-month-long affair with Tom Sandoval in the Summer of 2022 until Ariana discovered it in March 2023. How Ariana discovered the affair is the subject of a new lawsuit filed by Rachel against Ariana and Tom.

The suit lashes out at Bravo, Lisa Vanderpump, fellow cast members, and more. You don’t want to miss this breakdown!

The civil case between the parents of Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie has been reluctantly settled prior to a full jury trial. In my coverage of this lawsuit, I went through the motions for summary judgment but not the depositions.

Today, I am covering the submitted depositions from attorney Steven Bertolino, as well as Christopher and Roberta Laundrie. We hear how they respond to the pointed questions about what they knew, their involvement in the case, and what they thought when Brian called them before the investigation into Gabby's disappearance.

I also cover the sentencing of Ruby Franke & Jodi Hildebrandt. They will both be imprisoned for at least 4 years, with a maximum penalty of 30 years. The final decision on that sentence will be determined by a Parole Board at a later date.

Quick Bits: Another Amber Heard Appeal. Donna Adelson Gets A Trial Date. Bryan Kohberger Updates Feb 19, 2024

Amber Heard appealed the court's dismissal of her claims against her insurer, New York Marine, for not providing her independent counsel to defend against Johnny Depp. New York Marine argued that they were not obligated to provide Heard with independent counsel and, therefore, hadn’t breached their agreement with her.

Donna Adelson was back in court for case management. The trial will begin at the end of September 2024 and she will have two court appearances before that for case status.

Bryan Kohberger will also be back in court at the end of February for arguments over DNA and to hopefully set a trial date.

In the Petito v Laundrie Civil Case, motions for summary argument have been filed by Steven Bertolino and the Laundries. Now that discovery and depositions are completed, the motions for Summary Judgement will allow the judge to determine if a jury trial is needed in May 2024.

The fight for whether or not the TikTok Defamation case will settle upon Summary Judgement is ongoing. If the judge finds the TikToker liable for defamation, the jury trial will only be on damages.

That's right. In 2024 Amber Heard still has litigation ongoing. Amber is appealing the court's dismissal of her claims against insurer New York Marine.

Heard is arguing that New York Marine breached their agreement with her when they denied her independent counsel to defend her in the Virginia Defamation suit brought by Johnny Depp against her. Amber Heard had two different insurers who had hired attorneys to defend the case.

New York Marine’s lawyers ceased representation of Heard before the Virginia trial. New York Marine argued that they were not obligated to provide Heard with independent counsel and, therefore, hadn’t breached their agreement with her. The court agreed, and the appeal followed.

Quick Bits: Donna Adelson is back in court and hires her sons' attorneys. This is a bad idea. Feb 12, 2024

On January 23, 2024, Donna Adelson appeared in court for a quick status conference and to officially waive the conflict with her new attorneys. She hired the same attorneys that represented her son, Charlie Adelson, who was already convicted in the murder-for-hire of Daniel Markel. These attorneys may have communicated with Donna before she tried to flee the US, possibly making them witnesses. This may be a very bad idea.

Alex Murdaugh had an evidentiary hearing where the jurors and Clerk of Court, Becky Hill, were questioned by Justice Toal. A new trial was denied, and though Becky Hill made comments, it didn't impact the jurors' decision.

A decade ago, Scott Peterson was convicted of the murder of his wife and unborn son. He is currently serving his life sentence but has filed a motion requesting DNA testing in the hope of getting a new trial.

TikTok loses the Universal Music Groups catalog due to a disagreement with the platform over their licensing renewal. UMG wants better pay and protection for its artists and against AI.

Former Real Housewives of New Jersey, Caroline Manzo, sues Bravo for sexual harassment and assault by a former cast member. She claims that the network didn't protect her from the encounter and encouraged cast members to behave wildly for ratings.

Donna Adelson had a hearing waiving the conflicts with hiring the same attorneys who represented her son, Charlie Adelson. Hanna Gutierrez Reed was in court for a scheduling conference in the Rust Case and will go to trial next month. Jodi Hildebrant put her house for sale, and Kevin Franke filed a motion requesting a portion of the sale to go to his children.

There are heavy Topics on today’s show, so remember everything is time-stamped on YouTube if you want to skip anything. As always, I cover the law without sensationalizing the details. Kevin Franke found out that Jodi Hildebrant is selling her 5.3M home. He is seeking restitution from the sale to go toward the Franke children for their future care and treatment as they recover from the abuse at the hands of Hildebrant and their mother, Ruby Franke. The Judge has ordered that Hildebrandt's assets may not be disposed of until after a restitution order is made.

In shocking news, Cheer coach Monica Aldama’s son, Austin, has been charged with ten counts of possessing or promoting illegal images of children. I review the grand jury indictment and break down the charges for the state of Texas. Coach Monica talked about how shocked she was when Jerry Harris was prosecuted for similar charges.

In New Mexico, Alec Baldwin was indicted on one count of involuntary manslaughter again. This is the second time the state has charged Alec with the crime. The first time, the state withdrew the charges because they wanted more time for forensic testing.

Leah Remini’s court battle with Scientology has been met with tons of additional litigation. Both sides have made it clear they will not go into mediation regarding this lawsuit, making a court showdown highly likely.

David Miscavige, the ecclesiastical leader, claims he was never properly served by Leah’s team and should be removed from the lawsuit.

Leah has requested the court place an injunction on the church of Scientology due to their continued harassment campaign against her. The manner of which has become so severe that by the time the trial is over, her reputation could be irreparably damaged.

The Church of Scientology has additionally filed an anti-SLAPP motion claiming their reciprocal right to speech is based on public interest. The court has been so overwhelmed with their back and forth that they requested both sides to stop filing motions while the court takes the time to review and consider the current motions prior to the hearing.

The Petito v. Laundrie civil case is set for a spring 2024 trial, but there is a lot of litigation to go before then. In recent litigation, we learned that Brian Laundrie called his parents ‘frantic,’ saying Gabby was ‘gone’ and that he needed a lawyer. With the help of Attorney Steven Bertilino, they hired a criminal defense attorney in Wyoming. They are also seeking to compel further deposition of Bertilino, hoping the Judge will order him to disclose the contents of conversations with Brian Laundrie, which Bertilion asserts are protected by attorney-client privilege.

Bryan Kohberger's motion was granted regarding removing media cameras in the courtroom. Moving forward, the court will operate their own camera and broadcast to the court’s YouTube channel.

The TikTok defamation psychic's case continues as the TikTok'er accuses the court of inappropriate behavior while not adhering to the request for discovery.

Clerk of Court Becky Hill’s son was arrested for wiretapping, allegedly in connection with his job as the IT director for Colleton County. Interestingly, this case investigation started a few days after team Murdaugh filed their motion to stay the appeal, and Becky Hill’s phone was subsequently taken via a search warrant in connection with this investigation.

Lastly, Alex Murdaugh pled guilty to the state financial crimes and was sentenced to 27 years. Alex addressed his victims and the media, seemingly trying to make everyone understand that he felt bad for the crimes he committed and insisted that he did not kill his wife and son.

Muraugh murder trial Clerk of Court Becky Hill’s son, the head of the Colleton County IT department was arrested for wiretapping in an investigation that also resulted in Becky Hill’s phone being taken due to a search warrant.

It seems the 14th circuit solicitor's office was asked to look into this, days after Murdaugh’s defense team filed their appellate motion accusing Becky Hill of jury tampering.

Is this all a wild conscience or is there a lot more going on in the low country??

Cassie Ventura dropped a staggering lawsuit accusing Sean Combs of sexual assault, human trafficking, harassment, assault, and more. The allegations were shocking to some, and confirmation of suspicions to others. Combs' attorney was quick to accuse Cassie Ventura of seeking a payday and of previously attempting to blackmail Combs for 30 million. Based on the strong denial from Combs's attorney, it was shocking when news of the lawsuit settling came just 24 hours after the filing of the lawsuit.

Quick Bits: Major Murdaugh Updates. Kouri Richins Hearings. Coach Monica Cleared. Nov 20, 2023

Alex Murdaugh was making moves leading up to his global plea deal. He was scheduled to go to trial on November 27, 2023, and will instead be sentenced on November 28, 2023. In addition to his plea to resolve the state financial cases, he also had a win with Judge Newman voluntarily recusing himself from hearing the Motion for New Trial on the murder case.

Kouri Richins, who's accused of poisoning her husband with fentanyl, was back in court for a slate of hearings. Her attorneys had made a motion to dismiss the charges, accusing the prosecution of misconduct, while the court gave her a lot of room to argue the motion was denied.

Coach Monica, head coach of the Navarro College Cheer team who was highlighted in Netflix's series Cheer has been dismissed from a lawsuit and cleared by USA Cheer after a six-month investigation.

The sport of cheerleading has seen its fair share of scandals and lawsuits. Regarding the Navarro program, which was the subject of the Netflix series Cheer, there have been several very high-profile scandals.

In April, a former Navarro cheerleader sued the college, Coach Monica, and others over an alleged sexual assault by a fellow cheerleader, accusing the school and coaching staff of failing to protect members of the team from sexual assault and harassment.

The case against Coach Monica has been dismissed, and she has been cleared by USA Cheer over six months after the lawsuit was filed.

Depp v. Heard. The Sidebars Part 2 Nov 08, 2023

Sidebars are an interesting part of any trial. Often, unless you are one of the lawyers or the Judge, you don't know what has happened, been argued, or been ruled upon at those sidebars.

Quick Bits: Alex Murdaugh Motion To Remove Judge Newman Nov 06, 2023

Team Murdaugh has asked the South Carolina Supreme Court to remove Judge Newman from hearing Murdaugh’s motion for a new trial and future cases. That includes the trial set for later this month.

They allege that Newman is a witness for the Motion for New Trial because of Clerk of Court Becky’s behavior, which he is aware of. That motion revolves around alleged jury tampering.

For the remaining Murdaugh cases, they claim Judge Newman has expressed his opinion regarding Murdaugh’s guilt, which violates Murdaugh's right to a fair and impartial trial.

Things are going to get busy in South Carolina.

The divorce announcement of Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas after four years of marriage shocked people, but her court filing invoking the Hague Convention was more stunning. Though stories and statements had wandered through the media before her filing, the conversation has shifted to a complex international custody battle. Joe Jonas filed for Divorce in Flordia, Sophie Turner filed for the return of the children in New York, and her New York filing indicates she is also filing in England. The US State Department has notified Flordia that they have also been notified. So, let’s break down these filings.

Former NFL football player Michael Oher filed to terminate the conservatorship he was placed under in 2004. In the filing to terminate the conservatorship, he alleged that the Thouy family misled him for their own gain in portraying him as their adopted son. He asks for an accounting and has started seeking subpoenas to discover what was in the 20th Century Fox agreement signed over The Blindside and a subpoena to CAA, the agency which Oher alleges negotiated the movie contract on the Thouy families' behalf. Shortly after Ohers court filing the Thouy family, through their lawyer, put out a statement refuting the allegations and alleging that Oher was demanding $15 Million from them in order not to place negative stories in the press against him. The Thouy family responded in court on September 14, 2023, arguing that the conservatorship may be terminated and that they don’t need to provide an accounting because this was only ever a conservatorship of the person; there was no estate and, therefore, no accounting. Finally, the Thouy family denies that they have signed contracts on Oher's behalf and states that the conservatorship was created only to allow Oher to consider playing football at Ole Miss without running afoul of NCAA guidance.

Leah Remini has been outspoken about the Church of Scientology for over a decade. Her lawsuit lays out allegations that she has shared in interviews, movies, and her book, alleging over a decade of harassment, threats, interference with jobs, lost contracts, and defamation. Her lawsuit explores the history of Scientology and how the Tom Cruise wedding was the breaking point of her time in Scientology. With a scathing response by Scientology, this lawsuit seems unlikely to settle.

The State of Wisconsin v. Taylor Schabusiness murder trial is currently underway. The defendant described how she committed this murder and the actions she took after. Why is this going to trial when the evidence against the defendant is so strong?

The defendant has pleaded Not Guilty and Not Guilty because of mental disease or defect (NGI). This means the trial is going to be done in two phases. If the jury finds Shabusiness killed victim, Shad Thirion, the jury will decide if she will receive life in prison or treatment with the opportunity to be released at some point.

The facts of this case are wild; the defendant has had 5 competency evaluations and has repeatedly been deemed competent. This case will ultimately be a fight over the NGI phase of the trial.

California was the last state in the United States that didn’t have a ‘snitch’ rule. Tom Girardi has been indicted in California and Illinois however his attorneys in California are challenging his competency and those hearings are ongoing but there is quite a lot of information to be learned from those motions.

It’s been a while since I have checked on the Britney Spears post-conservatorship litigation, and most of the current court dates have simply continued the same motions to other court dates. During the ongoing discovery disputes that are focused on the upcoming trial for the 12th accounting, it’s alleged by Britney’s attorney Matthew Rosengart that James Spears spend up to a Billion dollars of Britney’s money during the conservatorship. Though the conservatorship was terminated in 2021, Britney is still in court fighting over money.

Alex Murdaugh’s lawyers may have pushed too far, or at least pushed Bland Richter too far. In their analogy-laden response, they ask for sanctions against Murdaugh’s attorneys for having the audacity to file the motion to withdraw Murdaugh's confession of judgment. What do you think of this latest motion? I can’t wait to see what the Judge does with this.

The 2005 Disappearance of Natalee Holloway was watched closely worldwide. The leading suspect in her disappearance and expected murder, Joran Van Der Sloot, was arrested twice during the investigation and has thus far yielded no prosecutions. Van Der Sloot later pleaded guilty to the murder of Stephany Flores, which occurred five years to the day of Holloway’s disappearance. In 2010, Van Der Sloot allegedly contacted Holloway’s mother and extorted $25,000 in payments to provide the location of Holloway’s remains and details surrounding her death. Van Der Sloot should be transported to the United States on June 8, 2023, and will remain in custody in the United States while he is prosecuted for extortion and wire fraud and any subsequent appeal before returning to Peru to serve the rest of his 28-year sentence.

In the seemingly unending Alex Murdaugh saga, he has now been indicted on 22 federal charges ranging from fraud to money laundering. These charges lay out decades of theft from clients. His friend Cory Fleming was also indicted. Fleming was the lawyer that Murdaugh recommended the Satterfield Sons use to 'sue himself'. Fleming struck a deal early with prosecutors, and the plea was in place before the information dropped. Murdaugh's lawyers have already indicated that they believe the federal charges will resolve, ie., Murdaugh wants a deal.

A year ago, I covered the Petito v. Laundrie Civil Lawsuit, where Gabby Petito's parents are suing Brian Laundrie's parents over statements made by their lawyer Stephen Bertolino before Gabby Petito's body was found. The Petito's are making claims for Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress over the Laundries conduct. In the course of this civil litigation, attorney Bertolino has also been added to the lawsuit. In the current fight over discovery, we learn some shocking new details about a letter Roberta Laundrie wrote to her son Brian and was found in an envelope styled 'Burn After Reading.' Roberta Laundrie is seeking to have the court rule that the letter cannot be turned over to the Petito's and is not relevant and, therefore, not discoverable. This case is moving toward trial, and there is still a lot to go.

Alex Murdaugh’s legal team continues to litigate over their attorney fees and the death of Gloria Satterfield, a case that seemed to be closed. Alex Murdaugh is being sued by his insurance company who sued him to recover the over three million that they paid out related to Satterfield’s death. The Insurance company alleges that Murdaugh defrauded them into settling the insurance claim, and then he stole those funds intended for Satterfields surviving sons. Murdaugh is now trying to undo his confession of judgment that granted the Satterfirelds over 4 million dollars. If you have followed this case, you cannot miss this shocking update.

The Idaho University Murders case Gag Order (non-dissemination order) is headed back to court. The Writ was denied by the Idaho Supreme Court based on a lack of original jurisdiction and made clear the District Court needed to decide the motions regarding the gag order. The Goncalves Family attorney’s motion is already pending before the court. The media companies have now filed their motion asking the court to vacate the order to allow the media more access to information in the case. The pre-preliminary hearing motions aren’t slowing down as the hearing date get’s closer.

In a surprising move, the new special prosecutors in the Rust case moved to dismiss the charges against Alec Baldwin ahead of the May 3rd preliminary hearing date. Prosecutors said that in preparing for the preliminary hearing that they discovered new facts that “demand further investigation and forensic analysis.” This case has been full of unexpected twists from the beginning. Catch up on all my Rust coverage below.

In this episode, I explore new headlines and evidence in the Idaho College Murders case. What are the facts, and what is fiction?? A search of Bryan Kohberger's parents' home yielded an ID card that’s reportedly connected to someone from the quadruple homicide. However, police have not officially confirmed the details due to the gag order in the case. It’s also being reported that there is evidence of cyberstalking by Kohberger toward one of the victims. Furthermore, headlines state that Kohberger is being investigated for similar cases, yet officials quickly stated that there is no evidence that he is connected to other cases.

Alex Murdaugh is asking for more money from a receiver in the Mallory Beach boat crash case to pay for his legal fees to appeal the murder conviction and sentence. The death of Stephen Smith has been linked to the Murdaugh family through rumor and through SLEDs 2021 announcement that they were investigating his death due to information they found during the course of the double homicide investigation into the death of Maggie and Paul. Last week there was a lot of movement in the Stephen Smith case, with SLED making a new announcement about their investigation and ordering a private exhumation. This is another twist in the lengthy Murdaugh saga.

You can’t escape the Gwyneth Paltrow Ski collision trial at the moment. In case you're unfamiliar with the case, here's an overview: In February 2016, Gwyneth Paltrow allegedly collided with a skier named Terry Sanderson at the Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah. Sanderson sued Paltrow for $3.1 million, claiming that she was skiing recklessly and caused him to suffer a brain injury and other injuries. She countersued for a dollar. They are in trial attempting to determine who is liable (responsible) for the collision.

Randy Murdaugh breaks his silence on the Murdaugh conviction and says, “he’s not telling the truth, in my opinion, about everything there.” After six weeks of trial, the Murdaugh jury found him guilty on all counts in a matter of hours, and he was sentenced to multiple life counts the next day. Several jurors have spoken to the media emphasizing that the kennel video and Alex's testimony were key to their decision.

South Park is subject to a massive lawsuit from Warner Media HBO. It seems we’re in the streaming wars now.

If things in the Idaho Murder case couldn’t get stranger, here we are. Idaho Professor Scofield sued a Tik Tok creator for defamation over the allegations that she killed the four victims and had an inappropriate relationship with one of them. After the defamation suit was filed, the creator acknowledged the suit and mocked it but didn’t respond. A default is entered, then the creator, representing herself, files an answer and a counterclaim. Yes…suing the Idaho Professor and the lawyers who sued her. It’s so wild.

The Girardi Keese empire crumbled at the end of 2020 and landed in an extensive bankruptcy that has also spawned a plethora of civil cases that are still pending. What we hadn’t seen is anyone being held criminally responsible. Judge Durkin in Illinois wrote a scathing opinion in the contempt proceeding stating that some of Tom Girardi’s and Girardi Keese's behavior was unquestionably criminal. The US Attorney’s agreed, and Tom Girardi is now facing 18 counts alleging the theft of over 18 million dollars from clients. Will he be competent to stand trial, given that he is in a conservatorship? I am breaking it down in this episode.

A lot of questions have been raised about attorney conflict in relation to Public Defender Anne Taylor, who represented parents of victims in the Idaho case before she took on the representation of Bryan Kohberger. With Dick Hartpootlian representing Paul Murdaugh before representing Alex Murdaugh, who is accused of murdering him, is another level of conflict issues. Have you had questions about this too?

Today I cover the Alec Baldwin charges, jury selection, and the Alex Murdaugh murder pre-trial motions that just keep coming.

On June 7, 2021, Maggy and Paul Murdaugh were murdered at the sprawling 1700-acre South Carolina hunting estate ‘Moselle’. A year later, Alex Murdaugh was indicted and arrested for the murders, the Trial began on January 23, 2023, in Colleton County, South Carolina.

There has been a lot of pre-trial activity ahead of the trial starting. The court recently ordered the jury information sealed and not disclosed, meaning jurors will be referred to by number, and their information will remain private.

The defense is seeking to keep a blood spatter expert from testifying; they filed a motion for sanctions related to that request. The prosecution has stated that they will not mention the expert until the court rules on it, and that subject is tabled for now.

There has been a lot of pre-trial activity ahead of the trial starting. The court recently ordered the jury information sealed and not disclosed, meaning jurors will be referred to by number, and their information will remain private.

The defense and prosecution are arguing over what evidence should be included in the trial. The defense wants to introduce evidence of a polygraph test, but the prosecution argues that it could lead to a mistrial. The prosecution is also attempting to exclude evidence related to a possible "third-party guilt" of another person who may have been involved in the murder.

The November 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students shocked the nation. Since then, an alleged perpetrator has been arrested, and the probable cause affidavit that walks through how law enforcement ties the defendant to the murders has been unsealed. Today I go over the key points from the probable cause affidavit and how the surviving roommate's description was a huge break for police.

Because the internet is the internet, we are also talking about a shocking defamation lawsuit that stems from TikTok accusations that a professor at the University Of Idaho, Rebecca Schofield, is responsible for the murders. It’s wild stuff.

Alec Baldwin sues the Armor Hannah Guiterrez-Reed, 1st AD David Halls, Prop Master Sarah Zachry, Prop Distributer Seth Kenney, and his company PDQ Arm & Prop. But that’s not all; the suit contains a tremendous amount of detail about the FBI report and interviews given during the Rust investigation. But that is not the only new lawsuit; 1st AD Dave Halls has also filed a counter-lawsuit arguing that he should also be indemnified against any win by script supervisor Mamie Mitchell.

The Britney Spears conservatorship was terminated over a year ago, but it’s not over yet. The fight between Bitney Spears and her father/former conservator has only gotten worse since the termination of teh conservatorship. There are extensive financial issues that haven’t been decided, plus quite a lot of activity in court. The court entertained a motion for sanctions against James Spears because they submitted sealed documents as exhibits in a filing. Today I go through all the latest updates in the Britney Spears conservatorship and what is happening next.

So much is unraveling in the Girardi Fraud cases. First, did Erika Girardi swap the earrings before they were turned over to the auction house? Are the diamonds the same, because the receipts raise a lot of questions. Then there is the appeal over said earrings which raises lots of questions, especially in light of the tax liability that is a massive issue in this case. Finally, there is litigation moving forward in many of the other cases.

This week's episode covers the disturbing Balenciaga ad scandal and the lawsuit Balenciaga has launched in its wake, perhaps to distract from the larger outrage over their ad campaign featuring children. The underfire fashion house has issued an apology for the controversies and promised to revise their collective way of working. Looking at the ad images, the social media statements, and the notice of lawsuit that followed, it seems that Balenciaga is trying to pass responsibility to those it hired to create these images. I want to know what you think!

I was stunned to learn how the California Bar responded to Edelson PC when the fraud was brought to their attention. I had to ask Jay his thoughts on Judge Durkin's Order and whether Diana Jenkins did pay the orphans and widows of the Lion Air crash disaster.

The CFO of bankrupt law firm Girardi Keese has been arrested on wire fraud charges with prosecutors alleging that 10 Million was stolen from the firm in a ‘side fraud’. The California State Bar has issued an open letter detailing the 40 years of complaints against Tom Girardi and finally, Federal Judge Durkin issued a scathing order calling the actions of Girardi “certainly criminal.” It’s been over a month since I have checked into the Girardi case, and it’s incredible how much breaking news there has been in this case.

In every lawsuit, there must be jurisdiction. Amber Heard is arguing in her suit with her insurance company New York Marine. They sued her in Federal Court in California in July 2022. Heard’s lawyers are arguing that because she is living abroad, she cannot be sued in Federal court. Today I take a deep dive into diversity jurisdiction, looking at the cases and statutes cited by Heard's attorneys in the mentions of this jurisdictional infirmity in the insurance ca

When a key prosecution witness shows up at a convicted defendant's house, what could possibly go wrong? Elizabeth Holmes and Sunny Balwani are both asking for New Trials based on a witness showing up at Holmes’ house. The court has since ordered a hearing and additional briefing on Holmes’ motion for a new trial and denied Balwani’s motion for a new trial. Balwani is asking for a continuance of his sentencing, and the court should be ruling on that soon. I am waiting to see what the prosecution is asking for in their sentencing memos late this month.

In a strange coincidence of timing, Hollywood is on trial at the same time; Harvey Weinstein, Danny Masterson, and Kevin Spacey. All three trials involve allegations that came forward during the height of the MeToo movement though the alleged assaults occurred years and sometimes decades prior. The Weinstein case is still in the early phases of the trial, pre-trial motions, and jury selection. That case is expected to start with opening statements and witnesses next week. The Masterson trial finished jury selection fairly quickly and moved to contentious opening arguments, and the first alleged victim is on the stand. Kevin Spacey’s civil trial, where the plaintiff is seeking $40 Million in damages, is now in the defense case, and Spacey has finished his testimony. That trial will likely be given to the jury late this week or early next week.

The lawsuits have been busy. Prince Harry, Sir Elton John, and others are suing The Daily Mail over some horrific allegations of criminal activity, including wiretapping phones. The UK media has some history with this which is wild. I will be very interested to see how this suit progresses; The Daily Mail has made a very strong statement about this suit, stating the allegations are false. Bethenny Frankel has sued TikTok, alleging that they allowed creators to use her videos to make ads for knockoff products. Bethenny is attacking the case from a copyright position which may be an attempt to get around Section 230 preventing a party from suing a platform for what a user posts. The heart of the suit is the posts of a particular user, which will create a problem for Frankel. I can’t wait to hear what you think of these suits.

I am breaking down what that means and if it’s even possible. Then there has been quite a lot going on between the Judge and counsel in the Nikolas Cruz Parkland penalty phase trial. Should the Judge be disqualified, or are they just saving issues for appeal? Let’s take a look at the defense motion and what it means.

Amber Heard’s lawyer Elaine Bredahoft has hired counsel to represent her firm in dealing with the Insurance litigation. Amber Heard’s insurance companies are still fighting over who is paying for the litigation and allude to paying for her appeal. The Appeal briefs aren’t due yet, and it will be interesting to see how the insurance litigation plays out. It’s possible that Heard will owe money back to her insurance company. If Heard owes her insurance company, they will have to get in line behind Johnny Depp for her money.

Missing millions, mistress jewelry, and several new lawsuits. The Girardi case continues to unfurl stunning allegations of theft, fraud, and opulent spending at the expense of clients. The court finds in one case that Erika Girardi doesn’t have actual knowledge of Tom Girardi’s spending in his law firm and the work he was doing with other lawyers. The ruling includes some quotes from her deposition, which is very interesting. The Bankruptcy trustee has sued some of the legal lenders that are now being sued multiple times, and the allegations keep getting wild. The level of fraud happening in this law firm is hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Alec Baldwin has continued to talk about the Rust shooting, the FBI has seemingly determined that the gun in question could not be fired without pulling the trigger, and the Medical Examiner has made their manner of death determination. A lot has happened in the Rust cases in the last week, and the District Attorney in Santa Fe hasn’t made a charging decision yet.

Britney Spears may be free from her conservatorship, but the fight isn’t over. She is still fighting for money and her dignity. Britney Spears’ father, James Spears, has been going back and forth with Britney through their lawyers over a number of discovery issues but the heart of it is the objections to the twelfth accounting. The twelfth accounting was the beginning of the end of the conservatorship. The objections largely regard how money was spent from Britney’s estate, including funds spent on former business manager Tri Star. There is so much legal that happened at the last hearing today I am breaking it all down.

How is Amber Heard paying for all this? We heard her testify that she paid over 6 Million Dollars defending the defamation lawsuit….but did she? Her insurance companies are fighting over who should pay for her legal defense and it has a lot of details. Furthermore, her insurance company New York Marine is suing her for a judgment, saying they don’t have to pay for her lawyers or her Judgement. There is also the question of the suspension bond, will Johnny Depp be able to go after Amber Heard for the $10 Million judgment? Judge A made clear any suspension bond would need to be the full amount of the judgment plus the 6% interest. It will be interesting to see where this goes from here.

NOTE. On July 11th after this episode was recorded in advance of her federal trial Jen Shah plead guilty to one count of wire fraud. There is a bonus podcast episode covering the plea and a video breaking it down on YouTube. Jen Shah has maintained her innocence since her arrest and through her attorney was pushing this case forward to trial. Each time the trial was delayed there were objections from Jen’s attorneys. Jen was facing up to 60 years and due to her plea is now only facing 30 years. I am still surprised she plead.

Dobbs v. Jackson, breaking down the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade Jul 07, 2022

Today's Sponsor

Go to https://www.GreenChef.com/EmilyBaker135 for $135 Off, plus free shipping!

Justice Alito, in delivering the majority opinion for the Supreme Court in Dobbs v. Jackson starts by acknowledging that “[a]bortion presents a profound moral issue on which Americans hold sharply conflicting views”. It is a topic on which discussions of disagreement are difficult to navigate making this case all the more challenging to discuss. On June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade a 1974 Supreme Court case that extended constitutional protection to the right to an abortion through the due process clause of the 14th amendment. The Court stated in their holding that the “Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives.” The ruling is over 200 pages and includes concurrences from Justices Thomas, Justice Kavanaugh, and Chief Justice Roberts. The Dissent is delivered by Justices Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan. In the Dissent they state “[f]or half a century, Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey have protected the liberty and equality of women. Roe held, and Casey reaffirmed, that the Constitution safeguards a woman’s right to decide for herself whether to bear a child.”

This decision leaves entirely in the hands of the states the right to regulate or not, abortion. I hope that this episode breaks down this case in a way that makes it understandable and gives some insight into how I break down topics that are significantly charged.

Depp v Heard. Why the UK case doesn’t matter to the Virginia Case. Jun 29, 2022

Get 20% Off + Free Shipping, with the code LAWNERD at https://Manscaped.com

During the aftermath of the Depp v. Heard trial, there has been a lot of conversation, mostly from team Heard, about the UK case. It’s been said by both Amber Heard and her counsel that the UK case should have prevented the Virginia case from being brought to trial. Since I haven’t fully broken down the ruling in the Virginia case as to why the UK case wasn’t binding, and since I think we will keep hearing about this ruling, it’s time to break it down. If you are interested in the UK ruling check out that episode of The Emily Show.

Weeks after the jury decided that Amber Heard defamed Johnny Depp this case still isn’t over. The final judgment isn’t even in yet, that’s expected to happen on June 24, 2022, and Amber Heard has continued to talk about the case. During a week-long teaser of the exclusive sit-down interview with Amber Heard NBC released clips of the interview on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, a 20-minute preview was released exclusively on Peacock on Thursday, and finally, the interview was released on Friday. The release of this amount of content of the interview ahead of the interview provides an interesting vantage point for the edits that NBC made. While putting in more content, or taking content out is to be expected, it’s the strange mid-sentence cuts that have caused so much debate.

Johnny Depp v. Amber Heard Trial Media Tour & Closing Arguments Jun 09, 2022

Use my exclusive offer - go to https://www.manscaped.com and use code LAWNERD for 20% off + Free Shipping

Closing arguments are the best part of any trial IMHO (in my humble opinion), as a trial attorney, it was my favorite part of a trial. I tried to prep my cases so that I knew what I wanted to argue in closing. I am sure that the Depp v. Heard Attorneys were working on their closing throughout this case, and during. I prefer the style of Depp's attorneys, but there were good points made by Heard's attorneys in closing. I would love to hear what you thought of these closing arguments. Did you find them persuasive?? Did you watch?

Since the verdict was read, both side's lawyers have had an opportunity to talk to the media, the talking points couldn't be more different. Heard's team is arguing that the jury was influenced by social media, that the Judge and Depp's team suppressed evidence, that Heard was demonized and this verdict sets women back. Team Depp has called many of those statements disappointing while pointing out that the Jury overwhelmingly believed Depp.

Thank You Sponsors!

The final week of the Johnny Depp v. Amber Heard trial felt like a sprint. The week started still in Amber Heard’s case in chief. Then to both Depp’s and Heard’s Rebuttal witnesses and finishing with closing arguments on May 27, 2022. The Jury is still out and we will see when and if they render a verdict in the coming days. One of the looming factors in week 6 was the clock. The Court gave each side 61 hours and 15 minutes to try their case. During the final week, Heard’s lawyers were fighting for every minute of trial time, something that carried through closing arguments.

Week six also brought out the sassy witnesses and it became clear how much the internet impacted this trial with three witnesses in Depp’s rebuttal that connected to the legal team because this case was being televised. Really interesting stuff happening in court.

What, if any, thoughts do you have about Week 6?

Week 5 of the Johnny Depp v. Amber Heard trial had many witnesses. It also had the bulk of Amber Heard's case in chief. The stand-out moments were Amber Heard's cross-examination by attorney Camille Vasquez. A very important part of this case is the time. Each side has 61 hours and 15 minutes to try their case. At the end of Week 5, Depp's team had 10 more hours of time to finish presenting their case and rebuttal case. This case has been so interesting.

Johnny Depp v. Amber Heard Trial Week 4 Review May 11, 2022

Check out our sponsor Backbone!

https://playbackbone.com/lawnerd

Before the court was dark for a week, Amber Heard was on the stand at the end of week 4 of the Johnny Depp v. Amber Heard Defamation Trial. During this week, we heard from Depp security team member Travis McGivern, Depp's agent Jack Whigham, a damages expert Richard Marks, Social Medial Expert Douglass Bania, Nurse Erin Falati, and Forensic Accountant Michael Spindler. Then Depp's team rested their case in chief, and Amber Heard’s team brought a motion to strike Depp’s claims which were denied for two claims and taken under submission by the court for one claim, which will likely be denied later. With that, it began Amber Heard's case with Clinical and Forensic Psychologist Dr. Dawn Hughes, whose testimony was overshadowed by evidentiary issues. Finally, Amber Heard was called to the stand by her attorney, who called her Laura Amber Heard and not Amber Laura Heard… and that is where week four ended.

The Johnny Depp v. Amber Heard Trial Week 3 has concluded. Johnny Depp has finished his testimony and his case is rounding towards its close, the end of Depp’s testimony was powerful, “Tell the world, Johnny, tell them, I Johnny Depp, a man, I too am a victim of domestic violence”, Amber Heard. Depp responded, “I said ‘Yes, I am”. It was powerful testimony that will likely be remembered as the key piece of testimony from Week 3. But it wasn’t the only powerful testimony, Dr. Shannon Curry, forensic psychologist, testified to diagnosing Amber Heard with Borderline Personality Disorder and Histrionic Personality Disorder. We also got colorful testimony from Alejendaro Romero who testified about not seeing injuries on Heard, and how stressful the case has been for him then, finally, he vapped and drove off. This case has had some very interesting moments…are you watching?

The Johnny Depp v. Amber Heard defamation is well underway at this point, and most of week 2 was consumed with Johnny Depp’s testimony. The cross-examination was wandering and very tough to follow. As we get into week three Depp’s testimony has completed and that will be covered next week. What do you think of this case so far?

The trial of Johnny Depp v. Amber Heard is underway. Today’s episode is a case brief breaking down the causes of action in this defamation case. There has been quite a lot of litigation in this case leading up to it getting to court for trial. This trial has very high stakes for both parties, a star-studded witness list, and a lot of evidence. The estimates for this trial are that evidence will take six weeks. Johnny Depp has sued Amber Heard for defamation over an OpEd she published without naming him, he is seeking $50 million in damages. Amber Heard has counter sued Depp for defamation for statements his lawyer made calling her statements that she was battered by Depp a hoax, she is seeking $100 million in damages. This jury is in for a whirlwind trial. Thankfully for us, there will be cameras in the courtroom and I will be following along.

Will Smith Resigns, Ghislaine Maxwell Loses. Apr 06, 2022

Thank you to our Sponsor Manscaped!

Use code LawNerd to get 20% off and Free Shipping. Https://www.manscaped.com

We are now over a week out of the Oscars and the fallout from Will Smith slapping Chris Rock on stage isn’t over. From what happened to what the potential legal consequences are it’s time to break it down. Plus, if you were wondering about the difference between Assault and Battery, legally, I’ve got you.

If you’ve been following my coverage of the Ghislaine Maxwell trial you know that I was concerned about the motion for New Trial based on Juror 50’s failure to disclose his past experiences when directly asked on the questionnaire. However, the Judge found that Juror 50 testified credibly, that the failure to disclose was a mistake and not deliberate and that he was not biased against Maxwell and therefore would not have been struck for cause. For those reasons the Court denied the motion and reaffirmed that the sentencing will move forward.

Sherri Papini went out from a run on November 2, 2016, while her husband was at work and her two kids are at daycare. Her husband returned home from work was surprised she wasn’t home, was able to locate her phone through find my iPhone and located her phone, earbuds, and some hair. He reports her missing to the police. She was missing for 22 days before she was located in Yolo County. An investigation ensued and, according to new court filings, that investigation lead to the conclusion that Sherri Papini didn’t get kidnapped at all. New court filings charge Papini with lying to investigators and mail fraud related to funds taken from the California Victim Compensation Board. It’s alleged that Papini received over $30,000 from the CVCB. The complaint details the numerous statements made by Papini and that she was confronted by investigators with evidence that she had lied and doubled down. This is just the beginning of the prosecution. Papini faces up to 25 years in federal prison in addition to over $50,000 in fines.

Jussie Smollett Should Lose His Appeal Mar 23, 2022

On December 9, 2021 actor Jussie Smollett was convicted of hoaxing a hate crime against himself, and in the course of that hoax made multiple false reports to the police. On March 11, 2022, Smollett was sentenced after the Judge stated to Smollett “you’re just a charlatan pretending to be a victim of a hate crime, and that’s shameful.” The Judge further stated that Smollett has “done real damage to victims of hate crimes” and that he “lied and kept lying”. The Judge sentenced Smollett to 150 days in jail, 30 months of Felony probation, a fine of $25,000, and restitution of a little over $130,000 to the city of Chicago reduced for the $10,000 in forfeited bail bond that Smollett previously paid. On March 16, 2022, the Appellate Court granted Smollett’s request to stay (pause) his sentence pending appeal and he was released from custody. This case feels like it’s been a whirlwind since it started and we need to take a look at everything that has happened to have context for the arguments on appeal and what will happen next.

There was a lot of anticipation for the trial of Ghislain Maxwell, especially after the death of Epstein. Many feel that someone was finally prosecut5ede, while others feel that those who benefited from Epstein & Maxwell’s trafficking should also be prosecuted. The long-awaited conviction is now in jeopardy based on the interviews given by Juror 50. Through those interviews, it became clear that Juror 50 didn’t accurately answer a significant question on the juror questionnaire. Today’s episode is a breakdown of the litigation so far and an update after the court held a hearing on the Defense Motion for New Trial and court inquiry with Juror 50.

Brad Pitt Sues Angelina Jolie Over Miraval Winery Mar 02, 2022

Have you joined the Law Nerd community yet?? Come check out the members-only I Have Thoughts podcast https://www.LawNerdsUnite.com

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie owned Miraval Cotes De Provence winery in France. Brad Pitt has now sued Angelina Jolie for selling her ownership in the winery to Tenute del Mondo—a subsidiary of Stoli Group, after breaking off talks with Pitt to sell her interest to him. Pitt’s complaint alleges that the sale has wreaked havoc on the operations of the Miraval winery and that Jolie’s former company is seeking to take over operations and alleges that it’s gone so far as to ask for the business bank accounts to be frozen.

It’s going to be an interesting battle between these two and their companies.

On October 21, 2021, Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was shot and killed on the New Mexico set of the movie Rust. Lead Actor and Producer Alec Baldwin was approximately four feet from Hutchins on set with a replica revolver that was loaded with a live bullet. Director Joel Souza was also shot and injured when the bullet passed through Hutchins. Since the shooting multiple lawsuits have been filed, Alec Baldwin has made numerous statements and appeared in an ABC Special talking through his perspective of events on set and when the shooting happened. From there, numerous lawsuits were filed, a police investigation began, search warrants were issued. The Sheriff’s and District Attorney in New Mexico have repeatedly stated that the investigation into the death of Halyna Hutchins is ongoing.

Halyna Hutchins husband and son have now filed a wrongful death lawsuit naming producers, production companies, Baldwin, and those in charge of the props and weapons. This suit includes some details we have seen before in other lawsuits and some that are new. From my perspective it’s clear that there was negligence on someone's part, otherwise, a live round wouldn’t have ended up on the movie set and in the prop weapon, therefore this tragedy wouldn’t have taken place. Though the criminal investigation is still open I am not surprised that the wrongful death lawsuit is underway.

Prince Andrew Answers Virginia Giuffre Lawsuit Feb 10, 2022

After the court denied Prince Andrews Motion to Dismiss his legal team filed their answer to the complaint and the case is moving forward into discovery. The answer is pretty standard continuing general denials, very very few admissions, and the assertions of affirmative defenses.

Don’t forget to check out my exclusive ‘I Have Thoughts’ podcast exclusively at www.lawnerdsunite.com

Rust Armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed’s new Lawsuit is filled with allegations of sabotage, and an allegation that the morning that cinematographer Hutchins was killed a new box of ammunition simply showed up on set. That’s before we get to allegations of blame shifting that reads like a coverup. You will not believe this suit. After reading through this I am not surprised that the police investigation isn’t complete yet.

Alec Baldwin Sued For Defamation Jan 26, 2022

Today's Sponsor: Go to https://www.manscaped.com and used code LAWNERD to get 20% Off

Well, this is the one where Alec Baldwin sucks. Alec Baldwin has been sued for Defamation for calling a woman on social media an insurrectionist when he forwarded her social media post showing her attending the January 6th, 2021 demonstration at the Washington Monument. The Alec Baldwin lawsuits continue with this new defamation lawsuit. This lawsuit has some struggles and I will break those down with the law that applies. It will be very interesting to see what will happen from here. I worry that the polarization of this lawsuit will outshine the underlying facts. Will we start seeing more lawsuits for behavior on social media? At what point are people responsible for their audience's actions? What do you think?

In a detailed ruling, the court has rejected Prince Andrew’s motion to dismiss the civil sexual assault lawsuit brought against him by Virginia Guffrie who alleges she was trafficked to Prince Andrew by Jeffery Epstein. Even though this ruling is fairly standard it seems to have triggered a large response from The Queen who stripped Prince Andrew of his titles, and he will no longer be able to call himself HRH. This suit has a long way to go and the challenges from Prince Andrew are far from over, but this early litigation gave us some clear indication of how the defense will be attacking this suit.

Alec Baldwin, Lies About the Search Warrant? Jan 12, 2022

Today's Sponsor | Use Code LawNerd for 20% off + Free Shipping at https://www.Manscaped.com

On December 16, 2021, the Santa Fe Sheriff’s obtained a search warrant for the cell phone of Alec Baldwin. The Search Warrant still hasn’t been executed and Baldwin is still in possession of his phone. On January 7, 2022, the Los Angeles Times and other outlets reported statements by the Santa Fe Sheriff’s Department and the District Attorney saying that they are still working to execute the search warrant and obtain Alec Baldwin’s phone. Not to be outdone Alec Baldwin took to Instagram to say that all reports that he hasn’t complied with the search warrant are lies and he fully intends to comply….later. I can’t wait to hear what you think of this.

Key Take-Aways?

Alec Baldwin’s cellphone has not to be taken by Santa Fe Police subject to their Search Warrant and reports that he hasn’t turned over his phone are true.
Alec Baldwin’s legal team can ensure that Law Enforcement properly executes any Search Warrant, but also he can comply and then fight the evidence obtained in court later.
Baldwin will not stop talking about this case and it isn’t helping him.

What happens next?

The Search Warrant will be executed in New York as the investigation continues.
There may or may not be criminal charges in this case.
The Civil lawsuits are ongoing.

Let’s take a look back at 2021. This has been a wild year for me and in the law. Britney Spears is finally out of her conservatorship, two Real Housewives have significant legal cases going on and we have had some very high-profile trials end in convictions and others in acquittals. This year saw YouTube and independent media creators pushing back against traditional media outlets, a trend I think will continue. Finally, it’s a year that ended with me on Prime Time television on ABC, becoming a full-time legal commentator and a YouTube creator with almost 200,000 subscribers. What will next year bring!!!

AstroWrold Tragedy | Congressional Investigation, Dismissal Request, and Travis Scott’s Interview Dec 29, 2021

The Astroworld tragedy has spawned hundreds of lawsuits, a Congressional investigation, and another celebrity interview set against a background of litigation. I was very surprised to learn in the Congressional letter that there are reports that Live Nation is alleged to be withholding pay from employees until they sign a new employment agreement that includes a new release of liability….seriously. Travis Scott’s legal team has also started filing answers to the lawsuits and has asked for cases to be dismissed. There was a lot made in the media about these requests to dismiss but they are just the next proper legal step in these cases. There is a lot to talk about with the interview because Travis Scott said a lot of words….but didn’t say much.

Key Takeaways

It’s being alleged that Live Nation is withholding pay from employees until they sign a new employment agreement that includes a new release of liability provision
Congress wants to know why the concert wasn’t stopped sooner and what could have been done to prevent this tragedy
Travis Scott says he was told to end the concert and did so.
Travis Scott states that he relied on the professionals and feels responsible to get to the bottom of what happened. He did not say that he feels personally responsible as an artist.

Shocking Details from The Girardi Lawyers Contempt Hearing plus EXCLUSIVE Tom Girardi Voicemails Dec 22, 2021

Federal Judge Durkin is not having any of the Tom Girardi BS. In December 2020 Edelson PC filed their lawsuit against Tom Girardi, Girardi Keese, Erika Girardi, and her companies, former Girardi Keese lawyers Keith Griffin and David Lira. That is the lawsuit that alleges a 20 million dollar loan from Girardi Keese to Erika Girardi, that the divorce was a shame and that the victims are widows and orphans. That same day Edelson PC also filed their Motion for Rule to Show Cause asking the court to enter an order; 1) requiring Girardi Keese to show cause why7 it should not be held in contempt for violating the Court’s orders relating to the settlement of [the six lion air client cases], and 2) granting any such further relief as it deems reasonable and just. The court seems focused on further relief after already holding Tom Girardi and Girardi Keese in contempt. At the end of three days of evidentiary hearings, the court asked the lawyers to further brief on “[d]o I have the power to order you to pay the clients not because you violated a court order but because in failing to come to me you caused the plaintiffs to lose that money”.

It seems that at least as to the Lion Air clients there are court proceedings moving forward strongly focused on how to make the clients, whose settlements weren’t paid too, whole. Remember, this is the Judge who forwarded this incident to Federal Prosecutors, and we know they have at least opened an investigation because Federal Prosecutors filed a motion asking the court for access to unsealed documents. What do you think will happen next?

Key Take-Aways

Federal Judge Durkin is focused on if he can sanction former Girardi Keese lawyers Keith Griffin and David Lira and possibly Edelson PC as a firm or its lawyers for not bringing issues with Tom Girardi not paying clients of the Lion Air case to the court.
Tom Girardi Exclusive Voice Mails
Tom is heard over two voicemails left for attorney Jay Edelson after the filing of the Motion for Rule to Show Cause saying: “I’m a good guy, get along great with all the Judges, I can do some real good shit but I want to make sure that you know we’d be joined at the hip” and “I want to be in charge of all your shit and at the end of about nine months I want you to say ‘God Tom, you made me another Million’”.
During Testimony during Day 3 of the contempt hearing Jay Edelson testified that Tom Girardi had called him repeatedly after the Motion for Rule to Show Cause was filed and that Tom indicated he could make him a ton of money because of his connections with Judges in California, and that the whole thing was ‘beyond unseemly’.

What Happens Next?

The lawyers for former Girardi Keese lawyers Keith Griffin and David Lira and the lawyers for Edelson PC will submit a briefing to the court about if the court can impose sanctions not for violating the court order, which Tom Girardi, has already been held in contempt for…but for not bringing it to the courts' attention sooner. They will also be submitting a chart breaking down the Girardi Keese client IOLTA account to see what happened with the settlement money after Boeing funded the settlements in March 2020. Seeing what happened with that money will be very interesting.

The court will rule on the Sanctions and contempt. Sanctions may be possible, but contempt here is unlikely.

The lawsuit filed by Edelson PC against the lawyers and Erika Girardi is still moving forward in Illinois and will continue forward into discovery.

And of course….Season 12 of Real Housewives will still feature Erika Girardi…

Script Supervisor Mamie Mitchell files a new lawsuit against Alec Baldwin and others alleging egregious negligence in their handling of the gun on the Rust set and outlining the facts of the script, which did not call for Baldwin to cock or fire the gun. In the ongoing litigation in the Girardi bankruptcy, Edelson PC won their declaratory relief from the court allowing them to try to pursue litigation against Erika Girardi in the Illinois suit they filed against Erika and several other attorneys in the firm. In the process of this motion Special Counsel Ron Richards was replaced by the Bankruptcy Trustee by attorney Larry Gabriel after Richards was accused of conducting a bizarre shakedown of Edelson PC.

Britney is Free, The first Rust Lawsuit is filed, plus Astroworld Updates. Nov 17, 2021

It’s been a busy few weeks in the law. Today I cover the Britney Spears conservatorship that has finally ended, the Kyle Rittenhouse trial that is now with the jury, the first lawsuit is filed in the Rust tragedy, and the updates on the Astroworld lawsuits. When I started covering the Britney Spears conservatorship case two years ago I was unsure if Britney would be able to get out of this conservatorship. Four months ago her new attorney Rosengart changed everything. It’s so nice to see her finally get justice. The Rust lawsuits are starting and there will be more to follow, but not as many as I am expecting in the Astroworld tragedy.

Britney Spears Case Brief. Will Britney be Free?? Nov 12, 2021

As the world, the Free Britney movement, and I brace for the November 12, 2021 court date let’s chat about what has been happening in court running up to this date and what can happen. First, the court is being asked to terminate the 13-year conservatorship of Britney Spears. There is a bigger fight brewing over Rosengart’s investigation and that 12th accounting is still sticking around waiting for millions in legal fees for ‘media matters’ among other things.

Thank you to today's sponsor Casetify! Go to http://www.casetify.com/emilyd today to get 15% off on your new favorite phone case!

The Astroworld Festival 2021 Lawsuits are mounting. At present, there are over 18 lawsuits filed but some reports are saying the count will shortly be 36, and these are lawsuits related to injured attendees at Astroworld. The wrongful death suits for those who died at Astrowrold haven’t been filed yet. It seems that hourly there is more information coming out about this tragedy. Today we are starting to see reports that some security hired by Live Nation had no training and was unprepared for the crowds. There is a lot of legal to go in this case and likely years of litigation. I will be keeping an eye on Travis Scott’s liability as a performer and as a producer of this music festival. If you or someone you know was injured at Astroworld there are numerous law firms in Houston handling these cases, don’t hesitate to reach out to a law firm, you have rights.

Brian Laundrie is identified but questions remain Oct 27, 2021

The Gabby Petito case has captivated attention worldwide. Since her disappearance was reported on September 11, 2021 attention was split between finding Gabby and wanting to know what Brian Laundrie, the last person who saw her alive, has to say. The search for Gabby Petito ended with finding her remains on September 19, 2021. The Search for Brian Laundrie began September 17, 2021, when his parents reported him missing and that search ended on October 20, 2021, when items belonging to Brian Laundrie and skeletal remains were found. Brian has been identified by dental records and there are so many questions remaining.

The Alex Murdaugh Story. Embezzlement, Fraud, a Hitman and unsolved crimes. Oct 20, 2021

The fall from grace of South Carolina Lawyer Alex Murdaugh is simply wild. From embezzlement, and a hitman insurance fraud plot, to numerous unsolved murders and missing client funds. I had no idea how many subplots the arrest of Alex Murdaugh would yield and it’s staggering.

Lawyer Reacts | Freeing Britney Spears Oct 06, 2021

We know from leaked court documents in multiple documentaries that Britney has been fighting behind the scenes since the beginning of her conservatorship. On June 23, 2021, Britney Spears spoke in open court from the heart. She wanted the world to hear her, and the world did. This is not the first time Britney has made these pleas to the court, but it's the first time that the entire world heard it in real-time, and I think that made all the difference in the world. Today I am taking the reports coming out of court from Twitter particularly from Britney Law Army who did tremendous work bringing the world the information from Court on September 29, 2021.

Controlling Britney Spears & The Fight To Remove James Spears as Conservator Sep 29, 2021

James Spears is embedded in the Britney Spears conservatorship like an Alabama tick. Britney’s lawyer Rosengart refers to James Spears' efforts to remain as lingering, I see it as a festering. Either Way the writing is on the wall for this Conservatorship and having James Spears removed is priority number one for Britney’s legal team. In new court filings on September 27, 2021, Britney’s legal team refers to the revelations from Controlling Britney Spears and how far off the rails the conservatorship has gone. Let’s all cross our fingers before this next court hearing on 9/29/21.

The LuLaRich Documentary & The LuLaRoe Lawsuits Sep 22, 2021

From butter-soft leggings to a myriad of lawsuits LuLaRich covers the rise and fall of MLM company LuLaRoe. Multi-Level Marketing companies often have to fight the stereotype of being a pyramid scheme, and LuLaRoe was sued by the Secretary of State of Washington State for being a Pyramid scheme and the company ended up settling the suit for 4.75 Million Dollars and a consent decree governing their practices. They are in a lawsuit with their main supplier and numerous suits with their own consultant retailers who lost so much buying into LuLaRoe. The story is captivating and sad with plenty of toxic positivity to go around. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts.

Britney’s Legal Team Accuses James Spears of Extortion Sep 17, 2021

Before James’ spears leaked a Petition to Terminate the Conservatorship of the Person and Estate Britney’s legal team came out swinging against the Spears ‘reply’ where James Spears said he would ‘step down’ when the ‘time is right' and once the accountings (where he is asking for over 1.3 million in legal fees to his attorneys paid by Britney Spears) are settled. Rosengart has backed James Spears into a corner and we are far from done… because this is going to be a fight.

Where in the world is John Pierce. The craziest legal disappearing act. Sep 15, 2021

“...and bad mistakes, I’ve made a few” -Queen.

In late August and early September attorney John Pierce who is known for formerly representing Kyle Rittenhouse and 17 defendants in the January 6th cases, but now known for going missing...absolutely missing. Not only did he go missing but the individual standing in for him in court and in defense-related legal hearings is not an attorney and it’s unclear if they will become an attorney based on their own pending criminal cases. The entire circumstance around the reports about this attorney are wild and I will be following up on this story.

NOTE- Since recording this podcast John Pierce has reportedly filed a notice with several courts saying that he was hospitalized for 12 days, but not stating why. I will continue following this wild case.

Was It All A Fraud? Elizabeth Holmes goes to trial. Sep 01, 2021

From college dropout to Silicone Valley unicorn to federal fraud defendant. The most staggering things about the Elizabeth Holmes case are how long this alleged fraud was perpetrated and how she sold the dream all the way to the White House. Hundreds of millions were invested into Theranos based on a dream and the Government alleges fraud. Because Jury selection is about to start it’s the perfect time to get up to speed on this case and what the prosecution faces and what the defense is likely to bring to the table.

Nirvana sued over Nevermind Album art Aug 27, 2021

The guy who was the baby on the Nirvana Nevermind album cover is now suing the band, band members, the estate of Curt Kobain, and others over the image. The Federal lawsuit filed on August 24, 2021, alleges that the image is an exploitative photo of a child (CP) and that he was forced into this situation. This suit has some very fundamental problems and has really pissed me off. I can’t wait to hear what you think about this one.

Keep an eye out for exclusive content coming soon to the Law Nerd Community on Pateron.

Suing Hollywood | Scarlet Johansson sues Disney, Bam v. MTV Aug 18, 2021

It’s Hollywood Baby! Hollywood has allure and magic but it also has a dark side. This episode covers how the sausage gets made. Scarlet Johansson sues Disney over her contract regarding the distribution of Black Widow. She is arguing that her contract was based on a wide theatrical release like other Marvel movies, what Disney did was release the movie in Theaters and on Disney+ Streaming the same day, without renegotiating the contract. Bam Margera is suing Paramount and Jackass co-star Johnny Knoxville over a wellness agreement that he argues he was forced to sign. The wellness agreement includes very specific provisions regarding Bam’s continued sobriety.

The thing about contracts is that they should be enforced.

Talking Girardi with Sarah Galli Aug 11, 2021

I love having a Bravo Kiki with Sarah Galli from The Andy's Girls Podcast.

Deeply fulfilled after another perfect episode of Beverly Hills, Sarah awakes bright eyed and bushy tailed (Dear Hinge: bow-chicka-wow-wow), and immediately races to the People's People's Couch for a spiritual People's People's Court. She dials up the Hunky to her Dory, the Thoma to her Sina, and the official AG legal correspondent, Emily D. Baker (legal commentator, former prosecutor, and host of The Emily Show). They unpack Britney Spears' legal battle, and the freedoms Tom Girardi is afforded that she is not, a nuanced conversation around how one can empathize with Erika while still holding her to account, and why Sutton and Crystal's epic argument may stem from their opposing reactions to conflict. You'll never get to call Sarah's leather pants ugly, because this dame wears dresses instead - it's Andy's Girls, Episode 232!

Britney Moves To Fire Her Father Aug 06, 2021

Britney Spears has had enough. On June 23rd she told the court. On July 14th she got her own lawyer, now on July 26th, her lawyer is asking James Spears to resign and if now asking the court to suspend and then remove him. This will be back before the court on September 29th and I suspect the court will remove James Spears at that time. In fact, I will be shocked if the court doesn't remove him.

Blizzard / Activision Sued California over “Frat” Environment and Staggering Harassment Jul 28, 2021

Blizzard/Activision has been sued over allegations of staggering harassment and workplace discrimination that have resulted in female employees being forced to leave their jobs to protect themself and one employee taking her own life. The allegations are triggering and raw, but sadly not unfamiliar to many women in male-dominated fields. Hopefully, this suit will signal to other women in gaming that it may be safe to sue, to push for fair treatment, to end harassment, and to demand equal pay.

The Britney Spears Conservatorship Case Brief Jul 21, 2021

The 13 year Britney Spears conservatorship has really come to the forefront of conversation in the last few months. While many were aware of the conservatorship and the Free Britney movement has been pushing for Britney to be released from her conservatorship for years...but for everyone else, this is a lot of catch-up to get up to speed on what is happening with this case. Today's episode is a little shorter to help condense what the most controversial aspects of the conservatorship are and what I think is coming down the road next.

Jen Shah and the dry contact defense Jul 14, 2021

Real Housewife of Salt Lake City Jen Shah was shockingly arrested in March 2021 while Bravo cameras were rolling. It really was something. During her arraignment, we learned that the Government believes that Jen Shah was at the TOP of a telemarketing scheme. She was charged with Conspiracy to commit Wire Fraud and Conspiracy to commit Money Laundering. Shah's attorney's filed a substantial motion asking the court to dismiss the indictment and then asked the court to suppress all of Jen Shah's post-arrest statements alleging, in part, that she couldn't voluntarily waive her Miranda rights because her contacts were dry...I am not joking. The Government responded with quite a lot of facts that we hadn't heard before including that Jen Shah was deposed in a substantial FTC lawsuit with regards to the same acts and companies well before she agreed to be a part of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.

There is a lot of information here so get a snack and let's get into it.

Bill Cosby Conviction Overturned Jul 02, 2021

Britney Speaks. Jun 25, 2021

On June 23, 2021, Britney Spears spoke at a status conference for her Conservatorship. It was a rare moment in open court, broadcast for the media and the world to hear how she was feeling. She spoke clearly and quickly as if she was worried she wouldn't be allowed to get all of her statements out, or that she wouldn't be heard. It's clear that in 13 years of this conservatorship what the #FreeBritney movement has feared is largely true. What Britney detailed is heartbreaking. Her lack of autonomy has been widely speculated on and she detailed it painfully. I would love to hear your thoughts on social!

The NCAA gets schooled by the Supreme Court Jun 23, 2021

I also cover the updates to the Colin v. Cuthbert great cake debate. Finally, there are some updates in the Tom Girardi case and my thoughts on the Housewife and the Hustler. Would love to hear your thoughts on these cases. Let me know on social media @TheEmilyDBaker.

Where is the line between protecting academia, canceling culture, and the unacceptable treatment of students? Yale Law School is having a reckoning with their former power couple who are both now under varying levels of restrictions by the University. There needs to be accountability in academia for behavior that crosses the line, but there needs to be room for professors to help students explore critical thinking and unpopular opinions. I would love to hear your thoughts on this??

Sephora sued for Defamation Jun 02, 2021

We are seeing a new wave of lawsuits that illustrate a new twist to the push-pull between a companies right to choose who they work with and employee and discrimination based on ideology or activities that occur outside of work. From Amy Cooper (The Central Park Karen) suing her former employer after being fired for the viral incident in central park to Beauty Influencer Amanda Ensing suing Sephora for alleged defamatory remarks made when cutting ties with her. Conservative 'comedian' and commentator Steven Crowder has said he is suing YouTube for demonetizing and striking his channel, he is ostensibly suing for discrimination based on viewpoint, but we will see. The line between workplace behavior and outside-of-work behavior is clearly blurring due to social media. So where do we go from here?

Shannon Beador Sues her Divorce Attorney & Wins Her Defamation Suit May 26, 2021

Shannon Beador is suing her Divorce Attorney alleging that she was not properly advised during her divorce from David Beador. This includes allegations that the attorney didn’t account for the kids college tuition payments, that the Divorce attorney told her to settle the case because they weren’t prepared for trial and that she had to give up her USC endowment to her Ex. In other RHOC legal news, Shannon was also sued for defamation by Jim Bellino and subsequently won the suit with her successful Anti-Slapp motion.

Erika Girardi Objects to appointment of Ronald Richards May 19, 2021

The Trustee in the Bankruptcy Case for Girardi Keese (Tom Girardi's Law Firm) is seeking to appoint Twitter Legal Commentator Ronald Richards as the special litigator tasked with tracking down any loans or funds moved from Girardi Keese to Erika Girardi or her companies. Much like Richards has had a lot to say about Erika on Twitter, Erika's lawyers have a lot to say in their objection.

The Craziest YouTube Lawsuit Yet! May 12, 2021

This is the wildest YouTube lawsuit I have seen yet. It involves alleged copyright violations over a PayPerView fight involving controversial YouTube creator Jake Paul. The allegations here make a lot of conclusory statements but no actual facts. The court threw out this lawsuit once, how long will it take for this to be thrown out again?? My guess is not long. Buckle up for a course in what not to do as a lawyer.

Both Bankruptcy Trustees are seeking to hire special counsel to sue Erika Girardi to claw back any property or loans provided to her or her companies. I have wondered when this would happen. If these motions are approved by the court we will likely see Erika Girardi and her companies sued within the Bankruptcy.

Let them Eat Cake! M&S sues Aldi over Colin the Caterpillar. Apr 21, 2021

Launched over 30 years ago M&S's Colin the Caterpillar is an icon. A regular fixture at birthday parties of those young and old alike (I am assured by my British friends). However grocer Aldi now finds itself in court over their Cuthbert the Caterpillar cake. While this case is playing out over Trademark rights in the High Court, it is also playing out on Twitter in the most British way.

The Sun UK, he lost at trial and his appeal was denied. Finally LuLaRoe settles for 4.75 million with the State of Washington over Pyramid Scheme allegations.

Satan Shoes & Real Housewife Jen Shah's Indictment Apr 07, 2021

A lot has happened in the legal world in the last week. MSCHF announced the Satan Shoes collab with Lil Nas X, but used a Nike Air Max shoe for the collab. Nike doesn't approve of this shoe and has now sued MSCHF over the shoes. A court granted a temporary restraining order over it and this suit is pushing forward quickly. With the Erika Jayne and Tom Girardi case I thought we had seen the biggest Housewife scandal we would see. I was WRONG! The Jen Shah indictment, arrest and arraignment is wild. Seeing a Housewife indicted on Wire Fraud and Money Laundering charges is wild.

The Girardi Case Updates, Financial Document, and Erika objects! Mar 31, 2021

Since the recording of this episode the State Bar has filed charges against Tom Girardi Accusing him of Misappropriating millions from clients. I have linked the latest reporting down below.

Currently, the most active courts in this case (due to the Bankruptcy stay in most courts), are the two Bankruptcy cases and the Conservatorship case. Some of the most interesting updates are the newly filed financial documents in the bankruptcy case and the fact that Erika has filed an objection in the bankruptcy court.

A Cheer Mom, Deep fakes, and a Homecoming Queen Mar 24, 2021

The College Admission scandal showed everyone the lengths some parents will go to in order to further their children. While Parents in those cases used to access and money to steal opportunities for their children other parents have found different ways to try to do something similar. Both stories I cover in this episode are pending criminal prosecution as of 3-24-21.

First, a Pennsylvania cheer mom used technology to create ‘deep fake’ videos and images of teens on her daughter’s cheer squad in a seeming attempt to discredit those teens by showing that they were engaging in behavior that goes against the teams’ honor code. The Victory Vipers are an elite cheer team in Doylestown Pa. Law enforcement said that the woman used apps on her phone to alter photos and videos of three teens, then masked her cell phone number to send those to coaches on the team and teens themselves. The District Attorney of Bucks County charged the 50-year-old mom with 3 counts of cyber harassment of a child and 3 counts of harassment, both misdemeanors.

Second, a Flordia Elementary School Assistant Principal and her teen daughter were arrested for allegedly using the mother’s access to school accounts to change over 100 votes in the Homecoming election. It’s alleged that they accessed the school’s system to changes votes from a singular IP address. They have been charged with one count each of offenses against users of computers, computer systems, computer networks, and electronic devices, a third-degree felony; unlawful use of a two-way communications device, a third-degree felony; criminal use of personally identifiable information, a third-degree felony; and conspiracy to commit these offenses, which is a first-degree misdemeanor.

COVID...One Year Later Mar 17, 2021

I still can't believe it's been a year since parts of the United States went into lockdown. We are all still dealing with Covid, lockdowns, distance learning, and sorting out what the next steps look like. In this episode, my husband and I talk about what the year of lockdown has been like for us. Lockdown in Los Angeles was a very strange experience, but I always feel that sharing these stories and experiences helps process it and have a conversation with you about it.

From Burger King to Critical Thinking Mar 10, 2021

On international women's day, Burger King tweeted "Women belong in the kitchen"... later they subtweeted (tweeted under the original tweet) that only 20% of professional chefs are women and that they are giving scholarships to support women. It was poorly done...it caused a lot of outrage...that may have been the point. But it raises the question, how do we see past the outrage and emotion to get to the facts? Let's talk about practical critical thought.

The Framing Britney Spears Documentary and it’s Aftermath Feb 17, 2021

Quote

“It’s Britney Bitch” - Britney Spears

“ In my opinion, Jamie is a total Dick” Sam Asghari (Britney’s boyfriend)

Framing Britney Spears shines a light on aspects of a culture of misogyny, dehumanizing celebrities, and shaming mental health. The documentary looks at what lead up to Britney ending up in the conservatorship but also points fingers at the industry and culture that created the situation. Since it aired there have been discussions, an apology (?) from Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson on the top of the charts.

Taylor Swift, Evermore, A Trademark Lawsuit, and Dragon Eggs. Feb 10, 2021

I had a feeling so peculiar

That this pain would be for

Evermore

Taylor Swift

Hopefully, the pain of this lawsuit won’t be Evermore. Utah Larping and Fantasy theme park Evermore has sued Taylor Swift and her businesses over the Evermore Album. Evermore Park alleges that the album and the merch are infringing and damaging the Evermore trademarks and that there is a high likelihood of confusion. Taylor Swift’s team through PR and her lawyers have said, no, nope, no way. Her team told Rolling Stone that this lawsuit is a money grab of a failing company embroiled in lawsuits during a pandemic. Can’t wait to hear what you think.

The Girardi Bankruptcy Breakdown Feb 03, 2021

Tom Girardi and his Law Firm Girardi Keese were sued 11 times in 2020 in Los Angles alone. That isn’t counting the Divorce filed by his wife Real Housewife of Beverly Hills Erika Jayne, or the federal case involving the Lion Air disaster. The wave of cases in December 2020 pushed creditors to file an involuntary chapter 7 bankruptcy petition, which was later granted. The Bankruptcy court now has the Sisyphean task of unraveling the accounting and lawsuits as well as the ongoing client matters that Girardi Keese was handling. While all of that was happening Tom Girardi’s brother sought an appointment as a Guardian Ad Lietim in the Bankruptcy Court and sought a conservatorship in the LA Superior Court. On Monday 2-1-21 the conservatorship was granted on a temporary basis.

The JLM Couture v. Hayley Paige Lawsuit Jan 20, 2021

‘That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet’ -Shakespeare. Bridal Couture company JLM Couture has sued one of its most popular designers, Hayley Paige, for ownership of her name and her social media accounts including TikTok, Instagram, and Pinterest. Shortly after the complaint was filed in this case JLM Couture asked for a preliminary injunction and while this is pending the court granted a temporary order and gave JLM Couture control over Hayley Paige’s social accounts. She is arguing that they are personal accounts, the company argues they are intellectual property owned by them. I can’t wait to hear what you think.

Erika Jayne & Tom Girardi, Frozen Assets, A criminal Investigation, & more. Dec 16, 2020

So much has happened since last week. Tom Girardi & Erika Jayne have had their assets frozen by a Federal Court. That same Judge referred the case for criminal investigation and the US Attorney’s office has moved the court for documents to be released to their office. If that wasn’t enough a new judgment was entered against Tom for $7.5 Million and another court issued an attachment order to secure a $5.8Million Judgement. THEN…. Girardi’s former business partner Robert Keese filed two lawsuits. There is so much going on.

The Erika Jayne, Tom Girardi Federal Lawsuit & Divorce Dec 09, 2020

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member Erika Jayne first caught our attention with eye-popping club music like Pretty Mess, Painkiller, and How Many Fu*ks. She has been on RHBH since 2015. Her husband is well-known attorney Tom Girardi who had numerous billion-dollar wins and settlements and whose PG&E case was made famous in the movie Erin Brockovich. Erika Girardi surprised everyone when she filed for divorce in November 2020. At that time it resurfaced that she had stated that she doesn’t have a prenup with Tom. A month later they were both sued in Federal Court alleging that Tom Girardi and his law firm Girardi Keese embezzled funds from the families of Lion Air crash victims whom he represented. The suit goes on to allege that the divorce is a sham to hide assets as the Firm Girardi Keese struggles to pay these clients, the firms debts, and to stay operational.

In a lengthy ruling in the Johnny Depp v.

Election Lawsuit Updates & Thanksgiving Nov 25, 2020

Since last week shit has popped off! I really didn’t want to cover the election lawsuits again. But it’s as crazy as Suenami 2020 and even though most of the lawsuits have been dismissed it hasn’t stopped the Trump legal team from leveraging massive allegations, then disavowing one of their own. I don’t even know how to summarize it. I am frustrated at this point. We should be moving closer to the end of this election, the funds have been released for the presidential transition, lawsuits have been dismissed. But no, we have larger allegations and intrigue within the Trump legal team. I am ready for some facts...and then some pumpkin pie.

The Election Lawsuits Nov 18, 2020

Trump Election Lawsuits

There is a lot happening in the election...still. I am breaking down the current lawsuits that are being waged in multiple states….you know, still. This episode was recorded before two different courts in Pennsylvania ruled against the Trump campaign in their allegations that vote counting was not properly observed and that the elections officials properly handled the election observation process. At the end of the day these legal processes will play out, the election results will be certified. Over 70 million people will be mad, hopefully, everyone will have a better understanding of how the court process works and we will still be facing a pandemic. Isn’t 2020 fun!

Drama & Defamation Nov 04, 2020

Lawsuits, Beauty Gurus & Drama Channels...oh my. YouTube Beauty Guru/Celebrity Tati Westbrook is sued by a business partner and ten days later sues another YouTube channel for defamation.. The lawsuit documents interplay heavily and it is fascinating. You do have a right to Free Speech...as it goes to the government telling you to be quiet.. But in our private lives you can say what you want..but if that sh@t is illegal then you can be sued. There is a difference between commentary and defamation, we are exploring that line. This is a break down of the background and what you need to know about defamation.

Rachel Hollis Sued. Oct 28, 2020

Rachel Hollis, Dave Hollis and Hollis Co. are being sued for Trademark Infringement over ‘Made for More’. With Rachel Hollis it’s not ‘wow she is getting sued’ it's more of ‘oh finally’. Rachel Hollis has a history of disregarding others intellectual property rights and this lawsuit lays it out! If you want to see the images of all the quotes and properties it’s linked below. If you are familiar with Rachel Hollis at all you have likely heard of her movie ‘Made for More’. She also sold Made for More merch on QVC and on her website. The problem is that ‘Made for More’ is someone else's intellectual property. That means you can’t use it. It will be so interesting to see how this sorts out.

The Amy Coney Barrett Confirmation Oct 21, 2020

There has been a lot of coverage of President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett and the Confirmation Process. Some believe it’s rushed, some were outraged at the questions she was asked, others outraged at the questions she didn’t answer. The hearing days were long and a moment with a blank notepad made its mark on meme culture.

This episode was a particular pleasure to record because I had the opportunity to answer your questions and they were amazing!

Yelp Adds 'Racist Business' Alert. Oct 14, 2020

Yelp has taken a broad step. Some praise the social activism, many wonder how this will impact affected businesses. The label first ask questions second approach yelp is taking is problematic. By Yelp’s statement is that the advisory will go up while Yelp is investigating. It is also made clear that this doesn’t have to be an issue with the business directly because it can also be with ‘someone associated with the business’. So if an off duty employee creates this issue…. And the business gets labeled, then what?

My concern for businesses is that Yelp will label first, and it’s unclear how businesses can get these alerts removed. What we know about the court of public opinion is that it doesn’t matter what Yelps investigation finds, it matters that the accusation was placed on the business in the first place.

RESOURCES

ARTICLES

Per Yelps blog;

“At Yelp, we value diversity, inclusion and belonging, both internally and on our platform, which means we have a zero-tolerance policy to racism. We know these values are important to our users and now more than ever, consumers are increasingly conscious of the types of businesses they patronize and support. In fact, we’ve seen that reviews mentioning Black-owned businesses were up more than 617% this summer compared to last summer. Support for women-owned businesses has also increased, with review mentions up 114% for the same time period.

The new Business Accused of Racist Behavior Alert is an extension of our Public Attention Alert that we introduced in response to a rise in social activism surrounding the Black Lives Matter movement.

So far in 2020, we’ve seen a 133% increase in the number of media-fueled incidences on Yelp compared to the same time last year. Between May 26 and September 30, we placed more than 450 alerts on business pages that were either accused of, or the target of, racist behavior related to the Black Lives Matter movement. We have maintained around-the-clock support over the last few months to ensure that we’re maintaining the trust and safety of our users and business owners.

If the business takes public corrective action, such as firing an offending employee, the alert will be downgraded to a Public Attention Alert, which warns users that “someone associated with the business was accused of, or the target of, racist behavior.”

What do you think? Do the problems outweigh the benefit here?

President Trump. Taxes, The Debate, and Covid. Oct 07, 2020

President Trump has been busy. From that staggering Debate performance to the New York Times article about his taxes...to contracting COVID. It’s a lot. I find the Tax article in the New York Times to be the least shocking of everything. I found the Debate to be a steaming hot mess. Then there was COVID. The president continues to act like he is marketing a reality show on twitter while COVID fears still have some states locked down. I personally prefer the cautious management here in Tennessee to the authoritarian lockdown in California, but different populations will have different responses. I can’t wait to talk to you about this week’s episode!

The Breonna Taylor Case. I have discussed this case at length and more information keeps coming. The Grand Jury Decision in this case was followed by an announcement by the Attorney General of Kentucky last week. Then this week a judge ordered the recordings of the Grand Jury released as evidence in the criminal prosecution of Officer Hankison who is charged with three counts of wanton endangerment, the Attorney General of Kentucky made another statement and one of the grand jurors sought a court order to be allowed to speak to the media. Buckle up. There is a lot more to come.

Kanye West v. The Music Industry Sep 23, 2020

“I Think Prince and Mike was tryna warn me” - Kanye West

Kanye West has taken up the personal mission to bring change to the oft-criticized music industry. He did so by taking to twitter, peeing on his grammy and exposing his own contracts. There are over a hundred pages of contracts on Twitter for all the world to see. Kanye has set forth a 7 point plan to ‘push the’ music industry into the 21st century’. He declared that he is the new Moses. But he isn’t wrong. His criticism of the music industry echos so many others, most notably Prince...whose fight with Sony Music lead to him changing his name to a symbol. There is a lot to talk about so let’s break it down!

Cuties...the movie that cancelled Netflix. Sep 16, 2020

Well, Twitter is all a…..well, a twitter, over the new Netflix movies ‘Cuties’. This is a French film that’s a Sundance award winner with a female director. However, it’s also very, very provocative and is either attempting to make a point, or is child pornography. The outrage was swift and by some accounts, Netflix has lost billions. I watched the film so we can have a chat, break down my thoughts, and talk about the legal standards of child pornography.

Kenosha Sep 02, 2020

I hope that the most important thing that we take away from the Kenosha unrest is that making a decision about a situation in one or two sentences of a news headline is not the full picture. The media has been taking the Jacob Blake shooting and creating a narrative juxtaposing it to the Kyle Rittenhouse shooting.

When the facts of these two situations are evaluated they are not the same in many regards. They are the same in that they are both avoidable. First, both situations are still under investigation and developing. Kyle Rittenhouse is in custody with murder charges (among others) pending. Jacob Blake is in the hospital paralyzed and recovering from 7 gunshot wounds.

But let’s discuss the surrounding situations based on the information available. Jacob Blake has pending charges arising out of a sexual assault and domestic violence case. There seems to be a restraining order in relation to those charges. Jacob Blake showed up at the victims’ house, broke in, attempted to steal her car resulting in her calling the police. When the police showed up to arrest Jabob Blake with the outstanding warrant and apparently violated the restraining order. He then wouldn’t comply with the police was Tasered twice, and reached for a weapon whereupon he was shot. The circumstances surrounding this are avoidable. Kyle Rittenhouse at 17 decided to head into Kenosha, an already tense situation, with an AR15 that he wasn’t supposed to be carrying based on his age. He then stayed in the area late into the night, he wasn’t questioned about his weapon (though open carry laws mean that people were walking around legally carrying similar weapons), he kept moving with the crowds of protestors until there was a confrontation. What we know from the video is that a protester behind Kyle Rittenhouse fired a weapon and Kyle turned around and fired injuring a protestor. The crowd turned on Rittenhouse, he was knocked to the ground protestors attempted to disarm him and he killed two. He shouldn’t have had that weapon. He is too young to be trusted to make good decisions in a dangerous situation he put himself in. He made these decisions that ended the lives of two people, this doesn’t discount the decisions of the protestors who were attacking someone armed with an AR15 cause that seems like terrible decision making too. But the circumstances here were also avoidable.

Free Britney Aug 26, 2020

The Britney Spears Conservatorship is the backdrop of the Free Britney movement….wait the #FreeBritney movement. Her fans have demanded that attention is turned to the over 12-year conservatorship that has been granted to Britney’s father Jamie Spears. The conservatorship was set to expire in August 2020 but was extended until February 2021 while the court asks for additional legal motions. Britney has recently spent time in a mental health facility which some argue was a tactical move by her father to keep the conservatorship going, or as necessary to support her in light of her fathers health struggles.

There is a lot of behind the scenes that we don’t know here, because of the nature of the conservatorship. It’s meant to be private but is it time to transition to allowing Britney to have more freedom. To be able to choose if she wants to have another child, to get married, to drive her car. I completely understand why her fans are so concerned, I also think it’s time to have real conversations about taking the stigma away from mental health struggles, to examine what happens to celebrities in the US, and to question if cancel culture is making these issues worse.

Ubër Undër? Aug 19, 2020

Are shifting Independent Contractor Regulations, Heightened Enforcement & Lawsuits the end for Uber? Will it be the end of the Gig economy? Should Independent contractors be allowed to choose how they work and not have the government regulating work so heavily or is Uber making money (thought hey have never turned a profit) off the backs of their drivers?

The looming deadline in California is going to force Uber and Lyft to make some large changes to their business very very soon.

Executive Orders - TIkTok, Stimulus Money, & Censorship ...Oh My!! Aug 12, 2020

President Trump has recently signed quite a few Executive Orders that have garnered attention for a number of different reasons. I am personally most fascinated by the President taking on social media in different ways. A lot of the laws regulating the online space were written in the 90’s, long before social media as we know it was in existence. This clearly presents issues for government, employers, and society. Some of those decisions may be out of our hands if these new Executive Orders stand.

The President has gone after TikTok, Facebook and Twitter by way of trying to open the door for platforms to be sued over censorship. One of the signatures of the Trump Presidency is quick action/impatience, and that is what we clearly see in the stimulus Executive Order.

I would love to hear your thoughts on these Executive Orders over in our Facebook Community.

Rage over Rachel Hollis' New Book Aug 11, 2020

I have thoughts... I have made it pretty clear that I think Rachel Hollis is a fakey faker. Her brand of toxic positivity wrapped with curated authenticity just pisses me off. The announcement of her new book “Didn’t See that Coming” like a month and a half after she announced her divorce from Dave Hollis on Instagram just put me over the edge with it.

I am outraged and the unyielding monetizing of bullshit. Rachel Hollis made clear in her divorce announcement that their marriage had been struggling for the last three years….and during that time she has released books, coaching, marriage retreat weekends and podcasts on the topic of having an epic marriage. It’s all such bullshit. She posted on Instagram in May that her new book was into the publisher, seemingly days after she told Dave that their marriage was over. This despite the fact that in ‘Girl Wash Your Face’ she describes divorce as not an option, that anything can be solved with communication, sex toys, and making out. So she is fine selling this to her audience but not following the advice for herself.

All of it is overwhelmingly gross. She built an empire on marketing a life she wasn’t living. I am over this brand of BS influencer and I hope that everyone else is too.

A Conversation with Rachel Brenke Jul 29, 2020

First, a huge shout out to Rachel Brenke for having me on the Business Bites podcast and letting me share this episode with you guys! It was a great conversation about the changing laws in CA, and different implications. In the following months the State of California has dialed down on these laws and while California is reducing budgets everywhere they increased budgets for enforcement of AB5.

If you have ever wondered what kind of nerdy chats lawyers have….this conversation is a perfect example… enjoy.

Why Tennessee? Jul 22, 2020

After Episode 42 I heard your questions - all of them.... You asked ‘but why Tennessee?’. So let’s break it down...how do you pick somewhere new to live? First, know that this wasn’t a quick decision. It was a process that has been going on in my mind for at least two years. I have been exploring if we would leave California...why we would leave and what our family values the most. Moving is a total pain in the ass, moving across the country is exciting and terrifying. Moving during a pandemic is exhausting. But we know what we are moving towards with our family and the life we have chosen. If you are considering a move these are the factors that mattered most to us..and how we made the decision to move to middle Tennessee.

Leaving Los Angeles Jul 15, 2020

In Episode 41 I share with you how I began to choose my life. What I share in Episode 42 is a natural growth of that. My family and I are choosing our life and it has lead us to Middle Tennessee. We have been talking about moving out of Southern California for some time...but it felt like there were so many obstacles to us actually doing it. Truthfully...sitting here today it’s still a bit unreal that we made it happen. We sold our house, closed a business, packed things and kids and cars and drove from California to Tennessee in the middle of a pandemic. But we did it, we are here and we are so stinking excited.

The Three Words...an interview with Hal Elrod Jul 08, 2020

My Journey. I started my journey long before I quit my career as a District Attorney. There were lots of little moments that lead up to big life decisions. As I continue to redefine success, achievement, and living my best life I still use the three words framework to figure out what that is. This interview with my friend Hal Elrod on the Achieve Your Goals podcast was one of the first ‘big’ podcast interviews that I did. It felt like a turning point for me. Hal was a gracious friend and mentor to me as I was finding my legs as an entrepreneur. If you haven’t read the Miricle Morning it’s accessible and affirming! His own journey is inspiring. I hope you enjoy the interview and I would love to hear your 3 words.

The Death of Breonna Taylor Jun 24, 2020

The death of Breonna Taylor is absolutely tragic. There is no arguing that. What I have learned in over 10 years as a prosecutor though is that tragic circumstances don't necessairly mean it’s illegal. Sometimes waiting for justice in the form of a conviction will leave you waiting forever. In this episode, I discuss the facts surrounding the search warrant served at Breonna Taylors home, the circumstances that lead to her death, and what I think will happen with this case. In the months since her death, we have seen a new law passed in Louisiana and one of the officers involved fired. But will we see criminal cases here?

Working From Home Jun 17, 2020

Working from home sometimes seems like a dream, no commute, home with family or pets, and not always having to wear proper pants. But it comes with it’s own challenges. Remember working from home in the middle of a pandemic is not the same as choosing to work from home, or working for yourself. This episode I cover the best tips from myself and my friends who work from home.

George Floyd pt. 2 Jun 10, 2020

Additional charges were filed against Derek Chauvin, the other three officers involved in the attempted arrest and death of George Floyd have been arrested and charged. The Medical Examiners office updated its provisional autopsy report. When I get asked to talk about what I think might happen in this case I look for context from other similar cases. In Minneapolis Minnesota there is one, the death of Justine Ruszcyk who was shot and killed by officer Mohamad Noor in July 2017. This episode breaks down the new Second Degree Murder Charge, the Aiding and Abetting charge against the other officers, and the killing of Justine Ruszcyk.

George Floyd pt. 1 Jun 03, 2020

The killing of George Floyd has rocked the US and sparked protests around the world. Police officers are rarely charged with Murder in discharging their duties and there is no disagreeing that what Derek Chauvin did was a crime and not policing. There was outrage at the charges filed, third-degree Murder and Second Degree Manslaughter. Breaking down what these changes mean, what the murder and manslaughter statues look like in Minnesota, and how they apply to this case will hopefully be a helpful step in understanding what is happening. When dealing with the prosecution of a Police Officer who was acting in the line of duty there are additional defenses available to them when they are prosecuted, I talk about those too.

Schools…from CDC guidelines for reopening to the college admissions scandal. May 27, 2020

In this episode I discuss the CDC guidelines for reopening schools as well as the college admissions scandal. Yes...it’s a school episode. However, the changes in schools will shape the way we move forward as a society. With stricter guidelines for staying home while sick, potential staggered school schedules, and partial school from home employers will have to make accommodations for parents or parents are going to combust.

Moving Forward May 20, 2020

As some states are starting to reopen, others are uncertain when businesses will start to reopen. Businesses are struggling to figure out how to reopen while protecting employees and customers alike while others are trying to figure out how to have their PPP loans forgiven. Companies large and small are going through rounds of layoffs, others are making permanent plans to keep their workforce working from home. Times are strange, but we are still moving forward.

MLM’s, COVID and the FTC. May 06, 2020

The Outrage Over the Paycheck Protection Program Apr 22, 2020

First....Congress passed additional funding for the PPP on April 21st and I expect it to be signed into law this week and funds should start rolling out soon. I will be updating that in the Facebook Group!

If you are angry, confused or frustrated about the PPP and the way the Stimulus checks are rolling out, you are not alone. There is nothing short of outrage over the Paycheck Protection Program funds going to large publicly traded companies. Yes Shake Shack gave back their funds but is that enough?

The War on Work Apr 15, 2020

RANT Ahead....I am kinda pissed about the way small business, independent contractors and the self-employed are being treated. I have long said that the way to get ahead and live 'the American dream' is through business ownership. The tax laws are business friendly, there are a tremendous amount of options for how to structure your work and your life. I have also said that it's not for the faint of heart. The situation with Coronavirus, the Paycheck Protection Program and the SBA loans have highlighted what types of businesses are favored. As small business owners are put last in line for aid, struggle to find lenders and are unsure when they will receive money larger businesses are able to apply through their regular banks due to existing relationships. I am rooting for the little guy.

The Sunday Riley FTC Settlement, False Advertising, and Ben & Jerry’s Jan 15, 2020

The Sunday Riley FTC settlement gives us a lot of insight to the direction the FTC is taking their action towards false advertising claims, and some amazing tea. I am not going to lie, I love it when the FTC isn’t afraid to just lay someone out. That said the Sunday Riley FTC settlement doesn’t require Sunday Riley to admit fault, so everything stated is alleged. However, alleged with quite a bit of actual quotes, and evidence, but still fault has not been admitted by Sunday Riley.

This is causing a massive overhaul at YouTube that has some negative implications for content creators and advertisers alike.
