The July 2026 Washington State bar exam was abruptly cancelled due to major technological failures. After six hours of connectivity issues at the Yakima Convention and Event Center, where hundreds of applicants were unable to access the NextGen exam software, officials ultimately decided to call off the administration entirely. This decision left graduates with limited, difficult options, such as waiting for a potential makeup exam in September, transferring to the February 2027 administration, or withdrawing for a partial refund, all while highlighting significant concerns regarding reliance on Wi-Fi-dependent testing systems without adequate backup plans.

The Case Brief reviews trial transcripts and sidebars related to Kouri Richins defense's motion for a new trial following a guilty verdict. The speaker addresses defense complaints claiming that the judge was biased, hostile, and impatient toward the defense. By analyzing specific transcript footnotes, the speaker demonstrates that the judge's actions—such as telling the defense to "slow your roll" and wrapping up early for a parent-teacher conference—were contextually reasonable and misrepresented by the defense.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/0icF2zqoldw

In a recent legal update regarding Kouri Richins, a restitution hearing in her murder case scheduled for July 31, 2026, was postponed by Judge M. to August 28, 2026, to allow the defense time to respond to the state's motion. Concurrently, Richins is facing a separate financial crimes case involving 26 charges, detailing extensive debt, fraudulent loans, check kiting, and an alleged plot to murder her husband, Eric Richins, for pecuniary gain. The financial case features newly surfaced text messages from late witness Hayden Jeffs, whom Richins allegedly solicited for fentanyl and propofol shortly before Eric's death. Following the withdrawal of her initial trial attorneys, Richins' newly appointed counsel requested a 45-to-60-day window to review discovery, prompting the judge to schedule a WebEx conference for October 9, 2026. Prior to calling this case, Judge M. presided over drug court, earning praise from the speaker for his empathetic yet accountable approach to celebrating sobriety and counseling individuals in custody.

This Case Brief examines the recent legal filing by Bryan Kohberger to withdraw his guilty plea in the Idaho murder case. We analyze the court docket, the motion for post-conviction relief, and the underlying New York Times interview, explaining that while Kohberger has officially requested a withdrawal, the legal threshold for such a move is extremely high. We also revisited the original plea hearing to contextualize the voluntary nature of his initial admission.

In this episode, we break down the ongoing Los Angeles preliminary hearing of the singer David Burke (D4VD), who faces serious charges including first-degree special circumstance murder, continuous sexual abuse of a minor under 14, and unlawful mutilation of human remains. Details the nature of a preliminary hearing as a public probable cause hearing rather than a trial, expecting the judge to hold the defendant to answer on all charges. We highlight key evidence presented by the prosecution—such as dental records used for identifying the victim, financial records tied to the pecuniary gain circumstance, DNA matched to blood in a Tesla and garage, and disturbing text messages documenting grooming and travel. We also explain the downstream legal proceedings, including how the district attorney's office committee will determine whether to seek the death penalty and how the 60-day speedy trial clock triggers once the case is bound over for trial.

This Case Brief details the state of Florida's response to Sarah Boone's appeal following her conviction and life sentence for second-degree murder, where she trapped the victim, Jorge Torres, in a suitcase. The state addresses several points raised by the defense, including claims that the trial court improperly limited opening statements regarding a battered spouse syndrome defense, misapplied a discovery violation remedy, and erred in its jury instructions on the initial aggressor exception to self-defense. The state argues that the trial court acted within its wide discretion, that the defense failed to properly preserve certain objections at trial, and that expert testimony regarding Boone's lack of immediate fear during the incident was permissible.

Karen Read Cellphone Hearing: Can Special Prosecutor Cosgrove Be Disqualified? | Case Brief Jul 20, 2026

Show notes

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/Q6X5fgMQG2k

During a July 13, 2026, criminal court hearing, defense attorney Alan Jackson argued for the disqualification of special prosecutor Mr. Cosgrove from any further involvement regarding Karen Read's cell phone search warrant and witness intimidation investigation. Jackson contended that Cosgrove breached the required standard of prosecutorial independence by admitting coordination with the conflicted Norfolk County District Attorney's Office. In response, Cosgrove argued that Read lacks standing because there is no actual conflict, as his prosecution focuses on Aidan Kearney rather than Read. He further attempted to discredit the defense by citing prior judicial findings regarding a lack of candor. Ultimately, the judge took the matter under advisement amid ongoing discovery disputes over why Read's cell phones have not yet been returned despite multiple court orders.
