  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

  • Sarah Boone's attorney was dialed to a ten today! Owens derailed the Direct Examination of the Prosecution's rebuttal witness and then dropped the ball on Cross Examination.

    The Prosecution then presented the jury with video, audio and images of DV which shined a light of how poorly Sarah Boone treated Jorge Torres during their relationship. This explains why the prosecution didn't go so hard on the Cross Examination of Sarah Boone.

  • Cross Examination of the Lead Investigator ended, and the State rested their case. The Defense argued dismissal of the case, but the judge denied it. Sarah Boone then took the stand.

    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.
