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.

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 Preliminary Hearing Summary Aug 29, 2024

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 family of John O'Keefe filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Karen Read along with CF McCarthy's and The Waterfall Bar & Grill. This civil lawsuit is separate from the new murder trial she will be facing in January 2025.

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.

I will also cover the change of venue hearing for Bryan Kohberger on Thursday, August 29th.

Disney is trying to have a widower's wrongful death lawsuit dismissed and sent to arbitration. 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.

Quick Bits: Karen Read and Kouri Richins Have A Hearing. Hannah Gutierrez Filing - Prosecutor Goes Off! Aug 12, 2024

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.
