Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/KaVDcnFpjac Day 7 of the Kouri Richins murder trial dove deep into the defense's motive argument, focusing entirely on the mounting financial pressure, enormous debt, and alleged fraud by Kouri Richins leading up to Eric Richins' death. A forensic accountant, Brooke Karrington, laid out the full scope of Kouri's financial situation, detailing a "gathering storm" of obligations that seemed to be on the verge of collapse just days before Eric's death in March 2022. The defense's cross-examination attempted to poke holes in the motive, but the financial facts paint a clear picture of a crumbling financial "house of cards" that was allegedly held up by fraudulent schemes.

The testimony covers the lethal dose of fentanyl and how the levels compare in this case. Carmen Lauber, who procured drugs for Kouri Richins, testified about multiple purchases, including fentanyl pills.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/pcKCBvbOlhE In Day 2 of testimony in the Kouri Richins Trial, the jury heard from key witnesses, including the Medical Examiner, who laid out crucial forensic evidence regarding the death of Eric Richins. The Medical Examiner testified that Eric Richards' cause of death was drug intoxication by fentanyl (fentanyl poisoning/overdose). His system contained a toxic level of fentanyl and norfentanyl, despite no history of abuse. Due to the ongoing investigation at the time she concluded her report (prior to her retirement), the Medical Examiner ruled the manner of death as undetermined. The ME's testimony concluded, setting the stage for a toxicologist to take the stand to elaborate on the concentration of drugs and the critical difference between stomach contents and blood levels—which will be vital for establishing a timeline of ingestion and death. Tomorrow, we expect the cross-examination of the CSI witness.

This lost phone is said to contain potentially damaging, biased, and "appalling conversations" with other law enforcement officers, including explicit, non-consensual images of women. The Commonwealth has the data, but Proctor is objecting to its release. An attorney-client privileged email from Karen Read was accidentally sent to the opposing counsel via a "reply all." We cover the arguments on both sides: Read's team is moving to have the email destroyed, claiming inadvertent disclosure, while the O'Keefe's counsel argues the privilege was waived and they are entitled to use it for impeachment.

Despite a wide-ranging investigation with hundreds of officers and tens of thousands of tips, she has still not been found. There have been major turns in the investigation with video and photos recovered and released to the public on February 11, 2026. Since then, law enforcement has detained and questioned numerous individuals and recently seized and searched another vehicle. The searches have taken place under search warrants, and late on Sunday, news broke that a DNA profile was taken from a glove found 2 miles from Nancy Guthrie's home. It’s reported that the glove matches the type of glove seen in previously shared photos and video. This is an active and developing investigation. Team Canada is in the middle of an Olympic-sized scandal shaking the sport of curling. They aren’t going to be able to sweep off the accusations quickly as the video that appears to show the double-touch cheating is getting memed across the internet.

We break down the intense oral arguments before the South Carolina Supreme Court as the defense appeals for a new trial. The most Murdaugh can achieve from this appeal is a new trial. He would still remain incarcerated due to his federal and other state convictions. The discussion details how the clerk of court allegedly had a financial incentive (to sell a book for a "lakehouse") to influence the jury toward a guilty verdict. We cover the comments she made to deliberating and alternate jurors about Murdaugh's body language and testimony, and the highly problematic revelations from the "egg juror's" affidavit. We also touch upon other evidentiary errors argued by the defense, including issues with cell phone forensic evidence, gunshot residue from a blue raincoat, impeachment regarding Murdaugh's post-Miranda silence, and firearms identification testimony. The justices showed significant interest in the clerk of court's interference, which many observers believe presents the easiest grounds for a new trial.

We analyze the shocking release of surveillance photos and video by the FBI showing a potential subject tampering with the front door camera. This footage was recovered from residual data in the backend system, despite earlier reports that "no video" was available due to the device being removed and a lack of subscription. The story of how Nancy Guthrie was discovered missing has changed. We detail how initial reports of her missing in-person church were incorrect, and that she actually missed her regular live-streamed New York church service with a small group of friends at one of their homes.

We break down the specifics of Juliana's plea agreement, including the reduced charge to voluntary manslaughter (max 10 years) and the prosecution's recommendation of "time served" contingent on her continued cooperation. The judge, however, has the final say. The defense revealed that Brendan Banfield's mother paid for Juliana's attorney until she signed the plea deal—a key detail suggesting pressure and raising questions of ethical conflict.

Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/zZO3aDbc84A The defendant, Brendan Banfield, is charged with the murders of his wife, Christine Banfield (an ICU nurse), and another man, Joseph Ryan. This murder trial in Fairfax County, Virginia, with Judge Ascarate presiding (yes, the one from the Depp-Heard case!). Hear the shocking theory—an affair with the family's young au pair, Juliana Peres Magalhães, led to a calculated plot to murder Christine and pin the blame on an unsuspecting "fall guy" (Joseph Ryan) lured through a kinky sex roleplay fantasy ("catfishing"). The defense counters by focusing heavily on the reliability of the co-defendant, Juliana Perez Magal, who took a plea deal for manslaughter. They question her incentivized testimony, the police investigation's "catfish theory," and the abrupt removal of key homicide detectives. The au pair, who flipped on Banfield, starts her explosive testimony, detailing the affair, the murder plan, and her involvement in the events of February 24th, 2023. This is a case of alleged premeditated murder driven by a desire to avoid divorce, secure custody, and keep a secret affair. It's a fast-moving trial, and we are zooming to catch up!

She is accused of killing her husband, Eric Richins, with a lethal dose of fentanyl. The judge has granted Court TV full camera access, allowing for the live streaming of the trial proceedings. The court ruled, in part, on the admissibility of the highly controversial "walk the dog letter" (Docket 214). The prosecution argues the letter, written by the defendant, is an attempt to solicit false testimony from her brother to support a fabricated defense that Eric obtained fentanyl, thus revealing her "consciousness of guilt."

Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/UU_txxMOYt8 In this comprehensive case brief, we break down the latest developments in the tragic double homicide of Spencer and Monique Tepe in Columbus, Ohio. They were found deceased with gunshot wounds on December 30, 2025. Two minor children were found unharmed inside the home. Monique Tepe's ex-husband, vascular surgeon Michael McKee, was arrested in Rockford, Illinois, on January 10, 2026. An overview of the probable cause affidavit, which connects neighborhood video surveillance and a vehicle to McKee, as well as comments from Spencer's family regarding the ex-husband. We look at Michael McKee's initial court appearance on January 12th, where he waived extradition to Ohio to face charges. The prosecution initially filed murder charges, but quickly elevated them to Aggravated Murder (first-degree premeditated murder) for both victims, alleging McKee acted "purposely with prior calculation and design" and shot the victims multiple times. This elevated charge carries the potential for life without the possibility of parole or the death penalty in Ohio.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/bILFgB6kFo4 In this Case Brief, we analyze the latest developments from the Los Angeles arraignment of Nick Reiner, who is charged with the murder of his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner. A look at the surprise withdrawal of Nick Reiner's private attorney, Alan Jackson, due to "circumstances beyond our control" and the immediate appointment of the Public Defender's office. The Deputy Public Defender, Kimberly Green, is assigned to the case and successfully puts over the arraignment to a new date, February 23rd. We dissect Alan Jackson’s strong public statement that "pursuant to the law in California, Nick Reiner is not guilty of murder," which appears to foreshadow a defense strategy centered on a "not guilty by reason of insanity" plea (or a similar mental disease or defect defense). The DA's office expressed their full confidence that a jury will "convict Nick Reiner beyond a reasonable doubt of the brutal murders of his parents." A breakdown of the legal meaning and impact of the court issuing and holding "body attachments" for defense subpoenas, a process used to maintain jurisdiction over non-compliant parties until the next court date. The case is expected to move slowly, and the legal process will be crucial in revealing the true facts surrounding the situation.

In this Case Brief, we break down the latest court rulings and what to expect as we move toward the trial date. The prosecution and defense are fighting over the infamous "Walk The Dog Letter" (Docket 214) found in Richins' jail cell. We discuss the arguments for and against its admission, with the prosecution claiming it shows "consciousness of guilt," intent, plan, and identity. We look at the court's denial of Kouri Richins' second motion to reconsider her pre-trial release. The defense argued a key witness recanted a statement about selling fentanyl, but the court found no "material change in circumstances." The court's ruling on the motion to appoint counsel for Kouri Richins' mother, Lisa Darden, a potential witness whose testimony could implicate her Fifth Amendment rights. The court denied the defense's motion to compel financial documents from Katie Richins-Benson, the victim's sister and trust executive, citing a failure to "meet and confer" and an "overly broad" request.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/PSbCLrOzh58 Day 10 of the Brian Walshe Trial happened on December 12, 2025. An extraordinary and intense day focused on the Closing Arguments from both the Defense and the Prosecution. The Defense presented no case, relying on the Prosecution's burden of proof. We break down the argument that emphasized a "sudden unexpected event" rather than premeditated murder. Key points include the Google searches indicated a man in "disbelief and confusion," not a planned killer. The delay in the word "murder" appearing in searches (6 hours). Lack of evidence of a plan or intent to kill in the 1,000+ pages of digital data. The reservation deletion was framed as an effort to avoid violating probation, not to cover up murder. The prosecution wove together a narrative of premeditation, focusing on a timeline of receipts, video, and digital evidence. Key points include the irony of the deleted New Year's Day dinner reservation text from the defendant's supposedly "missing" phone. The significance of the defendant's phone being unlocked and plugged in while he claimed it was misplaced. The Google searches (e.g., "best way to dispose of a body," "can you be charged with murder without a body?") showing intent to hide the crime. The argument to the jury: do not let the defendant benefit from his "self-serving act of dismembering and disposing of Anna Walsh." Discussion with the judge about impounding (sealing) the victim impact statements from the children of Ana and Brian Walshe to protect their privacy interests, and the jury's decision to resume deliberations on Monday morning.

The defense focuses on the lack of blood evidence found in the master bedroom subfloor and the "natural causes" argument, while the prosecution highlights Brian Walshe’s Google searches on cleaning blood from a knife and the timing of his Band-Aid purchase.

He reveals they planned to celebrate New Year's together on January 4th—the same day Brian Walshe reported Ana missing. Surveillance video is shown of a tall, dark-clothed figure driving Brian's Volvo SUV to an apartment complex dumpster, disposing of a bag, and immediately leaving. Cell phone data from Brian Walshe’s iPhone SE is presented, which lines up with the location of the dumpster seen in the video, as well as multiple other key locations (Lowe's, HomeGoods, and his mother's apartment complex where other evidence was seized). Evidence is shown of Brian's alarming Google searches from December 25th, including searches for William Fastow and the phrase "Anna Walshe found dead." William Fasto confirms that their mutual friend, Gem Mutlu (Ana's former boss, who was with the Walshes on New Year's Eve), introduced him to Ana.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/Clb86O_E0P8 Day 1 of the Brian Walshe Trial happened on December 1, 2025. The opening statements presented two starkly contrasting narratives to the jury. The Prosecution laid out a chilling timeline of digital and physical evidence, revealing sinister Google searches, a Dexter shopping list and Ana’s DNA evidence on a hatchet, hacksaw and her personal items. The Defense admitted that Brian Walshe lied to police and disposed of his wife's body, but adamantly denies he murdered her. They claim Anna Walshe died spontaneously in bed on New Year's Day. The ensuing Google searches and disposal efforts were the result of Brian's "frantic and panic reaction" driven by fear that no one would believe him and a desire to protect his three young sons. The defense argues that earlier searches for divorce were solely to protect the family's assets from a pending $400,000 restitution bill from his federal fraud case. Tune in for the full analysis of the opening arguments, the key witnesses (including the reappearance of troopers from the Karen Read case), and the legal strategies that will determine if Brian Walshe is found guilty of first-degree murder.

Welcome back, Law Nerds! We've got a lot of high-profile case updates this Thanksgiving week! Karen Read’s team are coordinating discovery with the wrongful death case and her civil case, anticipating over a million pages of documents. Judge Cannone has ordered the release of the sidebars from the first and second trial. We're going gavel-to-gavel starting December 1st! He pleaded guilty to improper disposal and misleading police, but not murder. What does it mean for his defense, and why is Trooper Proctor on the defense witness list? LAPD now confirms that singer D4VD is a suspect in the death of Celeste Rivera, and that he is "not cooperating" with police. Jen Shah is getting an early prison release on December 10th after serving 33 months for telemarketing fraud. We discuss the significance of her reduced sentence and the impact of financial crimes on victims. Prosecutors in the Wendy and Eddie Osefo cases are alleging the insurance fraud case are requesting more financial records and citing 40 credit/debit cards under aliases as highly relevant to their motive.

Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/3wBlfaFwgy8 In a stunning turn of events, in the middle of jury selection, Brian Walshe, accused of the murder of his wife, Ana Walshe, announced a change of plea. This Case Brief breaks down the dramatic court hearing where Walshe pled guilty to two of the three charges against him: lying to police (Count 2) and disinterment/improper disposal of a body (Count 3). He is only proceeding to trial on the most serious charge—Count 1, first degree murder of Ana Walshe. Emily provides analysis of the non-negotiated plea (pleading "open to the court") and the judge's warning that he is not bound by any sentencing recommendations. The controversy surrounding Brian Walshe's marital status in court and how his plea to Count 3 (disposing of a body) legally impacts his claim of still being married. Why this strategic plea is unlikely to keep the most incriminating evidence out of the trial, including the infamous Google searches for "10 ways to dispose of a dead body if you really need to" and searches related to a cheating wife. The deep dive into why a defendant in a "no - body homicide" case would choose this risky move—and why the strategy likely hinges on Brian Walshe taking the stand. Join us as we explore the legal strategy and implications of this pivotal moment in the Brian Walshe case. Trial starts on December 1, 2025.

Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/pg7ZYry8wWw The Kouri Richins case just got a lot more complicated. This episode dives deep into the sealed documents and motions that have appeared on the docket and the TV interview her defense attorneys appeared in. The defense team speaks out in a rare television interview, stating they had an "ethical duty" to correct a false media narrative, which they claim the prosecution declined to address. Shortly after the interview, attorney Alexander Ramos gets his own legal representation in the case—a move that is unprecedented and concerning. We explore whether this is tied to the television interview, or the defense's conversation with the "recanting" witness, Robert Crozier. Multiple sealed affidavits from prosecutor Bloodworth, a sealed Order to Show Cause, and a sealed opposition memorandum all point to a major legal conflict brewing behind the scenes. If Attorney Ramos has become a witness in the case, what does that mean for Kouri Richins' February trial?

Despite a prior stipulation on restitution, the State attempted to add two more victims' families to the order, initially seeking payment for travel and lodging expenses. However, after the defense objected, the prosecution was forced to admit a critical error in their plea agreement and withdrew the request for the larger amounts. This left the court focused on a single, sensitive issue: restitution for the victims' urns (funeral expenses). Even for this smaller, funeral-related cost, the defense fought against the order, arguing their client had no ability to pay. The judge issued a stern warning, questioning the defense's strategy and revealing previously sealed information about the five figures worth of dollars Kohberger had received in his prison account.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/0kj4KOQeev4 This Case Brief dives into the legal battle between Death Wish Coffee and Liquid Death. Death Wish Coffee, a well-established premium coffee brand, is suing Liquid Death for trademark infringement and unfair competition. Death Wish Coffee argues that Liquid Death's entry into the coffee market will confuse consumers and trade on Death Wish's brand and goodwill. Death Wish Coffee has a history of protecting its brand and has successfully obtained injunctions against other "death formative" marks in the coffee space. Liquid Death claims they have no real plans to launch coffee, despite filing trademark applications, and suggests Death Wish's CEO is "amped up on too much caffeine." They also argue that no one company can legally own the word "death." The Case Brief explores the legal arguments, including the purpose of trademark law and the concept of "reverse confusion." The outcome of the lawsuit will depend on the trademark office and ultimately the court's decision regarding the potential for consumer confusion.

Canton PD announced on November 3rd that a police department member was placed on paid administrative leave on October 24th due to misconduct allegations discovered during an investigation into a former member of a different law enforcement agency (later revealed to be Sergeant Goode). Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox is facing calls to be placed on the "Brady list" by Karen Read's defense attorney, Alan Jackson, who alleges Cox lied in a statement to the media regarding his involvement in the Karen Read case. An email from the FBI to Commissioner Cox, following up on a phone call and discussing discovery turned over to the prosecution, contradicts Cox's claims of no involvement. Boston 25 Investigates uncovered a loophole in the Massachusetts State Police's GPS tracking system. Hundreds of cruisers are equipped with a "kill switch" that allows tracking to be disabled. This feature was highlighted in the investigation of former state police detective Michael Proctor, who was fired for conduct revealed in the Karen Read murder trial. Proctor's tracker was off during an alleged overtime shift where he and Canton police detective Kevin Albert were drinking. A new policy has been implemented requiring permission and written approval for disabling the system in "limited extraordinary circumstances." This breaks down the ongoing investigations, the implications for law enforcement accountability, and the continued unraveling of details in the Karen Read case. Don't miss this crucial update!

The defense is seeking financial activities of the Eric Richins' living trust from March 3rd, 2022, to the present, as well as copies of checks drawn from the sister-in-law's personal or business accounts made payable to individuals connected to the investigation. Katie's attorney responds to the subpoena, calling the requests vague, ambiguous, and an "undue burden" and "blind fishing expedition" aimed at harassment. The attorney clarifies that individuals the defense insinuated were "paid witnesses" are actually retained expert witnesses in the civil case regarding the estate. The defense claims a witness, Robert Crozier, recanted his statement about selling fentanyl, now stating he only sold Oxy or Roxy's. The prosecution argues there's no undisclosed exculpatory evidence and that Crozier's recent assertion is not credible. The defense's motion to reconsider bail and conditions of release is discussed, with the prosecution asserting that Crozier's changed statement does not amount to a material change in circumstance. Kouri Richins' attorneys request a hearing in the civil case regarding the estate to compel production of trust report information and enforce an order requiring trust accounting, believing this information will impact the criminal trial. Stay tuned for more updates on the Kouri Richins case as motions ramp up and court dates are set.

We explore a prior incident from July 2023 where the same attorney allegedly caused a mistrial in a medical malpractice case due to a physical altercation in the hallway and was sanctioned over $22k for discovery violations. The current sanction hearing set for October 17th, where Cardi B's attorney, Peter Anderson, has filed 25 distinct counts of violations against Ron Rosen. These include disregarding court orders, arguing facts not in evidence, making appeals to juror sympathies, misrepresenting evidence, and expressing personal opinions during closing arguments. Ron Rosen's response to the allegations is also covered, where he denies a physical altercation, claims he is not a "seasoned trial attorney," and attempts to shift blame by accusing Cardi B and her attorney of misconduct, including threatening to report him to the state bar and Cardi B throwing a pen and a microphone in separate incidents. More paperwork might get filed. Stay tuned for updates on this unfolding legal drama!

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on @TheEmilyDBaker Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/FGOrXwYIQA4 In this case brief, we discuss the latest developments in the Brian Walshe murder trial. Originally scheduled for October 20th, the trial has been postponed due to a jail attack on Brian Walshe and a subsequent order for a mental health competency evaluation. The defense is still fighting to obtain "Proctor text messages," which are crucial for discovery. The prosecution plans to present evidence suggesting Brian Walshe knew about his wife's extramarital affair prior to her disappearance, and that a private investigator was hired to look into her infidelity. There's interest in Brian Walshe's prior federal art fraud case and its potential connection to money laundering, and whether it was a "tipping point" in the current case. While the trial is expected to be delayed for several months, it is anticipated that Brian Walshe will eventually be found competent to stand trial, as the bar for competency is "incredibly low."

The episode briefly mentions the conclusion of the Donna Adelson trial on September 4th before delving into Proctor's case. Proctor, the lead investigator in the Karen Reed case, was fired after the first trial due to misconduct. His administrative hearing aims to determine if his termination was justified. The Massachusetts State Police must prove his misconduct warranted termination, after which Proctor can argue for a lesser disciplinary action. The State Police attorney used strong terms like "distasteful," "unprofessional," and "disgusting" to describe Proctor's actions. The charges include: sending derogatory texts about Karen Reed, sharing confidential investigative information with non-law enforcement individuals, engaging in unprofessional conduct that harmed the State Police's reputation, and drinking alcohol on duty while operating a department vehicle. The last charge, though unrelated to the Karen Reed case, was uncovered through his text messages. The State Police presented 36 exhibits, including Proctor's own trial testimony where he admitted to his actions.Proctor's attorney is delaying his full defense until October, citing a lack of discovery from the State Police. He argues that prior to February 2024 (when his texts were discovered), Proctor was an "exemplary" 12-year veteran with no disciplinary record. The defense intends to focus on the texts as "personal things" that shouldn't lead to job loss, despite the irony of the State Police withholding discovery.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on ⁨The Emily D Baker⁩ YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/R1zhYkOKL1U Day 8 of the Donna Adelson trial happened on September 3, 2025 and the main question was whether Donna Adelson would testify? Ultimately, she did not, after attempting to get more time from the court to make her decision. The defense rested their case, and the prosecution will not be bringing a rebuttal. Closing arguments are scheduled for tomorrow morning, September 4, 2025.A significant portion of the day was spent discussing a second violation of the witness sequestration order by the defense. The judge expressed frustration that her instructions were not being followed, as a defense expert witness was present in the courtroom during another witness's testimony. Despite the prosecution's request for exclusion, the judge reserved her ruling, noting that exclusion is an extreme remedy and could create appellate issues if Donna Adelson is convicted. The defense called two witnesses: Kristin Adamson, Wendi's Previous Family Law Attorney and Linda Bailey, a Family Law Attorney Expert, to discuss the Markel divorce case. Their aim seemed to be to downplay the contentious nature of the divorce, arguing it was a "normal" case and not as emotionally charged as the prosecution portrayed. However, the prosecution's cross-examination highlighted that even routine legal matters can be highly impactful and emotionally charged for the litigants involved, echoing Donna Adelson's own emails about the divorce being critical. With the defense and prosecution both resting, the court moved to the charging conference to finalize jury instructions for charges including first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and solicitation of murder. The trial saw 27 witnesses for the prosecution and 12 for the defense over eight days. The upcoming closing arguments are expected to be lengthy, and deliberations could begin tomorrow. Donna Adelson's decision not to testify was likely strategic, as her testimony could have potentially hurt her case. The argument that she needed more time to decide on testifying is dismissed as unlikely to succeed on appeal, given the extensive time and continuances already provided to the defense.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on ⁨The Emily D Baker⁩ YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/gcNGmZoS-7w Day 7 of the Donna Adelson trial happened on September 2, 2025 and began the Defense's case-in-chief. The Defense faced immediate challenges with witness scheduling, leading to an early dismissal and the judge expressing strong displeasure about the lack of preparedness and adherence to the court's timeline. The Defense introduced a tech expert, Kelsey Guay, to refute the prosecution's analysis of phone records. The expert aimed to demonstrate that the prosecution's method of counting calls between Donna and Charlie Adelson inflated the actual number of unique call events due to duplication. The Defense also argued that Donna's phone did not connect to a cell tower near Charlie's home on the day of the murder, attempting to mitigate the significance of her "I'm outside" text. Anne Cunningham & Ron Gutterson, friends of the Adelson's, took the stand to testify about Donna's distressed state after the murder. The Defense also questioned investigators, Tehronna Khan & Eddie Varnes, who interviewed jailhouse informants, particularly Patricia Byrd, to challenge any claims of Donna offering inducements for testimony. A point of contention arose regarding WhatsApp voice calls in 2014, as Anne claimed to have used it for calls with Donna, but it was noted that WhatsApp did not offer voice calls until 2015, suggesting the calls must have been via Viber. Will Donna Adelson testify? That remains the big question as the defense moves into Day 8.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/Biij9nLHQjc Day 6 of the Donna Adelson trial happened on August 29, 2025 and we heard the infamous recorded jail call where Charlie was disconnected, and Donna continued talking to people in the house with an open line. Her exchanges with Wendi about getting her affairs in order and taking a one-way flight, expressing concern about not being able to leave in time, were very revealing. This seemed to be a clarified version of the call, with a transcript provided. Following this, Donna was arrested at the airport. After Agent Sanford was excused and the jury left for lunch, the court took the unusual step of swearing in Donna Adelson. This happened after an off-the-record sidebar discussion. The court asked if she was on board with the defense's strategy for cross-examining two witnesses: the jailhouse informants. Donna, under oath, confirmed her agreement with the defense's cross-examination strategy and its impact on her rights. The court's unusual requirement for a sworn statement on defense strategy, typically seen only when a defendant testifies or not, highlights potential concern for protecting the record. Today was packed full of testimony that is potentially devastating to the defense. Following the lunch break, testimony was heard from two jailhouse informants. One of the informants, Patricia Byrd, revealed that Donna admitted to her that she committed the crime in order to “keep her grandkids, but it wasn’t supposed to go that far”. Drina Bernhardt, another informant, revealed that Donna provided an alleged script that she was instructed to redo in her own handwriting. The day ended with the state resting their case, Donna’s defense will present their case beginning on Tuesday, September 2, 2025.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/eCpmhdqfwDs Day 5 of the Donna Adelson trial happened on August 28, 2025 and focused heavily on the critical wiretap evidence presented by the prosecution. We explore the intricate web of phone calls between Donna, Charlie Adelson, Katie Magbanua, and Sigfredo Garcia, highlighting how these conversations reveal attempts to cover up information and Charlie's escalating panic. These recordings are presented as critical evidence by the prosecution to establish conspiracy and cover-up attempts. The analysis highlights the "game of telephone" played by the co-conspirators as they relay information and react to developments. Charlie's increased panicked state as the investigation progresses. He is heard trying to control the situation, denying knowledge of a "family problem" to an undercover agent, and attempting to convince others not to talk to authorities. His calls reveal his belief that law enforcement wouldn't have sufficient evidence, despite being on a wiretapped line.Donna claimed to the under cover agent, that her grandchildren using her phone and her openly discussing the situation with friends, are presented as attempts to deflect responsibility. The prosecution views her actions, including her repeated urging for Charlie to "handle it," as evidence of her involvement in the conspiracy. The prosecution's approach of likening the case to "train cars that didn't move" and emphasizing the rapid, back-and-forth communication among the conspirators is noted. The trial is nearing the end of the prosecution's case, with a highly anticipated "clarified audio of the jail call" (where Donna discusses a one-way flight to a non-extradition country) still to be presented.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/Q2sgVWyygnQ Join us for a comprehensive recap of Day 1 of the Donna Adelson murder trial, which kicked off Friday, August 22nd, 2025, in Florida. Judge Everett is pushing for a swift trial, aiming to have the case to the jury by September 5th! Discover the state's powerful argument outlining Donna Adelson as the "relentless driving force" behind the murder of Dan Markel. We delve into their claims of motive (hatred for Dan Markel, desire for relocation of her grand children), alleged bribes (including a $1 million offer), and threats. We analyze the defense's strategy, which surprisingly focused heavily on praising Dan Markel as a loving father and professor, while arguing that there is "not a single piece of evidence" directly linking Donna Adelson to planning, hiring, or intending the murder. Their core theme: "It wasn't me." Luis Rivera took the stand and confirmed that he was hired to participate in the murder of Dan Markel. He testified that he had no direct contact with "the dentist" (Charlie Adelson) or any other member of the Adelson family. He confirmed that "everything went through Katie." He also stated he knew nothing about "the lady in Tallahassee whose kids who needed her kids" (presumably referring to Wendi Adelson).

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/X7H24DzEPnI Due to numerous public records requests in the Bryan Kohberger Case, law enforcement agencies in Idaho released over 200 crime scene photos online, some of which depict the victims, albeit blurred. Though it was blurred it still leaves room for the imagination and recommended that it be blacked out redactions. This widespread release occurred because the case did not go to trial, meaning the photos didn't undergo the official sealing process typically seen in court proceedings like the Alex Murdaugh case. The lack of judicial oversight in the release process of the Bryan Kohberger Case led to a lawsuit against the city of Moscow. Madison Mogen's mother, Karen Laramie, requested a temporary restraining order (TRO) after redacted crime scene photos were released. On August 15th, Idaho Second District Judge Marshall issued a TRO, blocking the city from releasing any further images, audio, or video depicting the inside of Madison Mogen's bedroom until a preliminary injunction hearing on August 21st. While the TRO specifically applies to Mogen's bedroom, the city has stated it will not release photos or videos from any victim's bedroom until the court fully reviews the matter. The attorney representing the families, Leander James, emphasized that the families want peace and not conflict, and urged the public to avoid viewing the photos.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/ArCNozStXbQ Donna Adelson's defense attempted to subpoena Wendi Adelson to testify, but her attorneys successfully moved to quash (squash/get rid of) the subpoena. The judge ruled that Wendi Adelson would assert her Fifth Amendment rights if called by the defense, and calling a witness solely to invoke the Fifth Amendment in front of the jury is inappropriate. Wendi Adelson is still subpoenaed by the prosecution, which grants her derivative and use immunity for her testimony. Jury selection began on August 19th, 2025. The process involves individual voir dire, where potential jurors are questioned one-by-one to prevent information about the high-profile case from influencing other jurors. The goal is to find jurors who have not formed an opinion about the case, even if they have heard about it. The judge read a statement of the case and the material part of the indictment to the potential jurors. Donna Adelson is charged with first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, and solicitation of first-degree murder in the death of Dan Markel on July 18, 2014. These statements are not considered evidence of guilt. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this episode of The Emily Show Podcast, I am covering the recent court date in the Denise Richards, Aaron Phypers, Divorce case. They were in court on August 8, 2025; however, ahead of that court date, Aaron Phypers brought on counsel for the limited purpose of representing him during the Temporary Restraining Order proceedings. Additionally, it was reported by People and other outlets that police were called to Calabasis when Denise Richards showed up at the home where Phypers and his family are still living. Denise, through her attorney, stated that she was allowed at the house and was retrieving her dogs. A video purportedly showing Bryan Kohberger in his prison cell has been circulating online, prompting a response from the Idaho Department of Prisons. Is the footage real, and who within the prison leaked it? Additionally, Bryan Kohberger is complaining of ‘harassment’ by other prisoners within the supermax facility. The prison also responded to media requests, stating that prisoners frequently communicate and that the ‘perceived harassment’ has been reported to him. Finally, Roblox has lost substantial value amid a wave of lawsuits and conversations around whether or not children are being protected on the platform. Roblox says safety is at the forefront of their platform, but the Roblox community disagrees. Once Roblox banned known Roblox creator Schlep, the creators rallied to call out Roblox for failing to protect children and respond to complaints and reports adequately. One of the most well-known creators in the space, KreekCraft, not only highlighted the issue on the platform but also stepped away from their creator ‘star’ program. We are going to see a lot more about issues on Roblox, and it’s time to have a conversation with anyone you know using the platform. Let me know what you think.

Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/NZXF2GjEDGA The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is in a difficult position regarding Former Trooper Proctor's federal discovery. While federal discovery was provided in the Karen Read case, a protective order limits its use. Defense attorneys in other cases argue for access to this information, as Trooper Proctor was a lead investigator. The Commonwealth has been negotiating with the US Attorney's Office to modify the protective order. The motion for modification also seeks permission for the Norfolk District Attorney's Office to review remaining confidential materials provided to the prosecution and defense teams in the Karen Read case. The Commonwealth has made headway with the feds to review additional discovery materials, including grand jury and non-grand jury materials, which they have not yet seen. These materials were not part of the discovery turned over in the Karen Read case, suggesting they might be separate investigations. For the new grand jury and non-grand jury materials, the Commonwealth will first review them to determine if they need to be disclosed. Then, the federal court will decide if these materials can be turned over, potentially with an additional protective order. A future hearing on discovery process is scheduled for August 28th, 2025, at 2 p.m. ET. The Brian Walshe case is moving forward to trial in October 2025; highlighting the urgency of receiving discovery and rulings on motions to dismiss to prepare for trial.

Once a jury is seated, opening statements will follow quickly. Most motions were addressed, with the court ruling that evidence would be admitted if relevant. Dan Markel, a legal professor, was murdered in 2014 amidst a child custody battle with his ex-wife, Wendi Adelson, Donna's daughter. The prosecution alleges that Donna Adelson and her son, Charlie Adelson, conspired to murder Dan Markel to resolve the custody issue, believing that without a father, the court couldn't force shared custody in Tallahassee. Two gunmen and a "middle person" (who worked at Charlie's dental office and is expected to testify) have already been prosecuted in connection with the murder. Charlie Adelson was also convicted. This will be the fourth time the government has prosecuted a part of this case, with Donna being the last to be charged. Will Charlie Adelson will testify? How will Wendi Adelson will testify.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/dpvMV9XQhOs Obtaining a federal download of Former Trooper Michael Proctor's phone data is sought by attorneys for multiple defendants in Norfolk County murder cases because it may contain exculpatory evidence. However, Proctor's lawyer claims nothing exculpatory exists outside the federal materials, partly because Proctor got a new phone in February 2024, potentially wiping earlier data. The problem is that the state police and Norfolk DA cannot directly extract this data; they must get it from the feds, who rejected requests for discovery from other prosecutions but turned it over in the Karen Read case. In the Karen Read case, the federal discovery was turned over, but it came with a federal protective order prohibiting its use in other cases. This creates a "boot loop" or "procedural quagmire" because Assistant District Attorney McLaughlin, who worked on the Read case, is aware of potentially exculpatory and impeachment information regarding lead investigator Former Trooper Proctor contained within these federal materials. Under Rule 14, McLaughlin is obligated to disclose the existence of such information to the defense in other cases (like the Walshe case), but the federal protective order prevents the office from physically turning over or even reviewing this material for exculpatory content. This forces the defense to argue for potentially exculpatory evidence they cannot see or definitively prove.

The judge, however, noted that the defense has had the same discovery as the prosecution and that the prosecution has an obligation for full disclosure. A contentious motion to quash a subpoena issued by the defense. The defense is accused of seeking communications between the victim's family's civil spokesperson and the District Attorney's office, which the victim's family's lawyer argues is improper and irrelevant to the criminal trial.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/V_gRWoUtPKY A hearing was held on August 5th, which was intended to continue the evidentiary portion of the motion to dismiss for the Myles King Murder Case, but this did not happen. Instead, the court requested the defense and prosecution to collaboratively create a comprehensive list of all evidence, when it was turned over, and which items are considered prejudicial by the defense. This is complicated by the fact that the prosecution did not consistently bate stamp documents. Another significant issue is the ongoing delay in receiving discovery related to Former Trooper Michael Proctor's text messages, which are relevant to five cases, including the Myles King case. The court is waiting for federal authorities to release this discovery. The defense is frustrated by the continuous "dripping faucet" of new discovery, making it difficult to prepare their case. The bar for dismissing a case due to discovery failures in Massachusetts is high, and typically, the remedy is to grant more time for trial. The Karen Read case has brought attention to this widespread issue of lingering discovery in Massachusetts cases. The next hearing for the Myles King case is scheduled for August 12th at 2pmET, where the judge will continue to try and clarify the specific evidence at issue for the motion to dismiss. Neither Adam Lally nor Proctor testified on August 5th, and they are not expected to testify on August 12th either.

Her legal team has filed two significant motions: a motion for the return of her seized property and a motion to release impounded sidebar transcripts. First, we delve into the motion to return property. Karen Read's attorneys are pushing for the return of her 2021 Lexus LX 570 and personal cell phone, which were taken by the Massachusetts State Police. We explore the complexities surrounding the damaged Lexus, which was disassembled as part of the investigation, and how this might impact her car insurance claims. Next, we examine the motion for relief from sidebar impoundment. Karen Read's legal team is seeking the release of transcripts from sidebar conferences held during both pretrial proceedings and the trials. The argument is that "good cause" for keeping these discussions sealed no longer exists now that a verdict has been reached. We highlight the video's commentary on the unnecessary impoundment of pretrial sidebar discussions, especially when no jury was present, distinguishing these from the justified sealing of discussions related to the federal investigation. Join us as we break down these motions and their implications for the ongoing legal saga. STAY IN THE LOOP WITH EMILY D.

He is representing himself and is seeking spousal support. Denise Richards filed for an ex parte temporary restraining order from Aaron Phypers. Photographs of a black eye were submitted as evidence and she explained that her laptop and phone were stolen. Denise accuses Aaron of disseminating private nude photographs and text messages from her stolen laptop to various news organizations, including the Daily Mail, even after the TTRO was issued. Denise moved out of their shared Calabasas home in 2023 due to marital issues and has since been renting three separate townhouses. Aaron, along with his parents, is still living in the Calabasas rental. On August 8th, a court hearing is scheduled to address the temporary restraining order. The purpose of this hearing is to determine if a more permanent restraining order needs to be issued, or if the existing temporary order should be extended.

He was also given various fines and civil penalties. The Judge Hippler stated that Kohberger would be imprisoned until he dies and would likely be moved out of Idaho for his own safety. The judge delivered a powerful statement, acknowledging the courage and strength of the victims' families and survivors, and emphasizing that focusing on "why" gives Kohberger undue power. The judge also clarified that while Kohberger waived his right to appeal, he still has the right to file a notice of appeal, though doing so might violate his plea agreement and potentially lead to the state seeking the death penalty. The judge imposed the maximum possible fines and penalties, speculating that this was partly to ensure that any future profits Kohberger might attempt to make from his crimes would go to restitution and fines.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D.

However, he clarified that the court's prior preservation order remains in place, and sealed documents are still sealed. The media's petition to unseal all documents was denied as premature. The judge stated that after sentencing, scheduled for July 23rd, the court will begin reviewing sealed materials to determine what can be unsealed, starting with the newest documents first. This process will allow counsel to object to unsealing specific documents or request redactions. He warned that this unsealing process will take a considerable amount of time, and public records requests for sealed documents will be denied until they are officially unsealed. The judge also addressed the right to appeal, noting that while Kohberger's plea agreement includes a waiver of appeal rights, the US Supreme Court's ruling in Garza v. Idaho indicates that a defendant's right to file the appeal. Therefore, the appellate process is expected to play out. The investigation into document leaks is ongoing.

Fallout from the Karen Read Retrial continues, focusing on Boston Police Commissioner Cox's statements regarding Officer Kelly Dever and a strongly worded letter from Attorney Alan Jackson asking she be added to the Brady List. Officer Dever testified in the Karen Read Retrial, stating that her initial observations to the FBI about Burkowitz and Higgins in the Canton PD sallyport garage were a "false memory." She claimed she didn't recall the Commissioner telling her to "do the right thing," despite previously telling the defense he said that to her. Commissioner Cox denied knowing Officer Dever was associated with the Karen Read case and that he influenced her testimony, despite her acknowledging a meeting with him where he offered support. He stated he "encourages" many officers. Karen's Defense Attorney, Alan Jackson, sent a formal letter to Commissioner Cox, requesting that Officer Kelly Dever be included in the Brady database. This is due to her changed testimony and "false memory" claim, which he argues irreparably compromises her credibility and reliability as a law enforcement officer. Jackson asserts that if she lied, it's perjury, and if she truly suffers from false memories, she's unfit to serve. Jackson's letter warns that failure to disclose this information would be a constitutional violation, potentially leading to severe sanctions, including the dismissal of any cases Officer Dever is involved in, even post-prosecution, if this information is not disclosed to the defense.

Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/C8Ou77B6Eow In Sarah Boone's latest letter to the court, she is inquiring about the status of her appeal and her court-appointed appellate attorney. She states that her attorney sent one introductory message in February 2025 and has not responded to her five inmate messages, two handwritten letters, or attempts by nine third-party representatives. Boone says her appeal is in jeopardy because an order was issued on June 13, 2025, requiring an initial brief within 20 days, or her appeal may be dismissed due to lack of communication from her attorney. However, there was a third extension granted on the appeal. She argues that her attorney's failure to perform duties or communicate cannot be held against her and that dismissal would deny her due process and effective assistance of counsel. The trial court judge cannot force the appellate attorney to communicate and that appeals typically take a long time, with minimal client input needed since the brief is based on the record. There might be a desire for Boone to control her lawyer, which is often not how the attorney-client relationship works in appellate cases.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/Yy9rHg9m4xk Bryan Kohberger has signed a factual basis admitting to the burglary and four murders, and a plea agreement for a fixed life sentence without parole or opportunity for reconsideration. This means a life sentence with no possibility of release. He has also waived his right to a fair trial, including the right to confront and cross-examine witnesses. Consequently, the media argues that the non-dissemination order should be lifted, as there is no longer a jury pool to taint or concerns about his right to a fair trial. The prosecution, however, objected to lifting the order. The court initially made a preliminary decision, stating it could be revisited if a reason emerged. The court also noted that no bond was set for the defendant. Bill Thompson emphasized the need for time to provide a full statement, which he claimed was difficult while preparing for sentencing. However, this was deemed not a legal justification, and the media has highlighted that "more time" is insufficient legal grounds to maintain a restrictive non-dissemination or gag order. As of July 10th, more docket entries haven't appeared since the order was filed on July 2nd. There's a possibility the court is backlogged and won't address it until July 23rd, at which point it would become moot and withdrawn.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D.

These civil cases are stayed (on hold) as the Kouri Richins' criminal case and are being handled by the same judge, which is noted as unusual. A conviction could significantly alter her entitlements under the law (e.g., preventing her from inheriting). The criminal trial's outcome will also impact the ability to depose Kouri Richins for the civil cases. Eric Richins's sister, Katie Richins Benson, acting as the representative of Eric's estate and trustee of his living trust, has sued Kouri Richins, her mother, her brother, and Kouri Richins Reality (KRR) for various alleged improper financial actions. Kouri Richins has countersued the estate, arguing she is entitled to a portion of Eric's assets. She seeks declaratory judgment and quiet title, asking the court to declare that she owns 50% of the home, personal property, and business interest. She also seeks a money judgment against the estate for unjust enrichment. These actions also takes money away from her children's future.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/BCja5KnBz4k Former Trooper Michael Proctor, the lead investigator in the Karen Read case, is appealing his termination from the Massachusetts State Police. He was fired in March after an internal investigation sustained allegations of misconduct, including derogatory text messages, sharing information outside the department, and drinking alcohol on duty. Proctor has civil service protections in his job, and his appeal is being supported and paid for by the police union. The union's involvement may also be to prevent his termination from setting a precedent for other officers. Proctor stated in an interview that he wants his job back, claiming that "no one's ever fired for personal texts." A procedural hearing for his appeal was held virtually on Tuesday as part of his appeal to the state's Civil Service Commission, an independent body that handles issues of state and local worker discipline. State Police requested the hearing be made public, which some see as a step towards transparency. A full in-person hearing is scheduled for mid-August. During the procedural hearing, lawyers for Proctor and the State Police indicated they had reached an agreement regarding evidence discovery, although it might take longer than anticipated. Proctor remains certified as an officer in Massachusetts, even without a law enforcement agency. The Karen Read case has also led to other changes within the Massachusetts State Police, including the reassignment of Proctor's supervisor, Yuri Bukhenik, and the relocation of another trooper involved in the case, David DiCicco. The Civil Service Commission will ultimately decide whether Trooper Proctor will get his job back.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/43ULdoW-g4w New charges against Kouri Richins are building upon her existing charges for the murder and attempted murder of her husband, Eric Richins. A significant portion of the new charges revolves around Kouri Richins's financial dealings and mounting debt. Richins wrote checks from an account with a zero balance and an extended line of credit to her business account (which was negative), then immediately transferred funds out before the checks could bounce. This included a $1,000 transfer to her mother and $2,000 to her personal account. In late 2021, Richins owned a home with substantial short-term, high-interest loans. She unsuccessfully tried to refinance the property into a traditional mortgage. She then "seller-financed" the property for her best friend, her best friend's husband, and their three children, who moved in and agreed to pay $2,900/month in rent with an option to buy. The best friend wired $45,000 as a down payment for a supposed long-term mortgage. Richins immediately spent this money on unrelated personal expenses and other creditors, leaving the best friend vulnerable to foreclosure and eventual eviction from the home. The case is still scheduled for trial in February 2026. The financial charges are separate from the murder case but some information will overlap as evidence of motive and consciousness of guilt.

What does this mean for his future? Is he still in jail? I break down the charges, the defense's strategy, the government's arguments, and what to expect at his possible October sentencing. Plus, I address all the misinformation circulating about Diddy's current status and potential prison time. Bryan Kohberger has entered a guilty plea to all charges, resulting in max life sentences without parole or appeal. His formal sentencing will be on July 23rd. We also discuss the noticeable changes in Kohberger's court appearance and the highly requested topic: Can Bryan Kohberger profit from his story?

During the plea hearing, Kohberger confirmed he was pleading guilty because he is guilty and waived his appellate rights, including the right to ask for a reduced or lenient sentence. He agreed to the maximum potential sentence, which is life with no parole for the murder counts, served consecutively, and 10 years for the burglary, plus court fees, fines, and restitution. Madison Mogen's family, through their attorney, expressed gratitude to law enforcement, the prosecution team, and the judges, and stated their support for the plea agreement, emphasizing their desire for closure and healing.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/7U4g45EG71g On June 30, 2025, it was reported that Bryan Kohberger is taking a plea deal in the Idaho College Murders, with a hearing set for July 2nd. The plea deal, as detailed by ABC News, involves Kohberger pleading guilty to all four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary. In exchange, he will be spared the death penalty. He will be sentenced to four consecutive life sentences for the murder counts and a maximum of 10 years for the burglary, amounting to life without parole. Crucially, Kohberger will waive all rights to appeal, bringing finality to the case. The trial was originally slated to begin with jury selection on August 4th, with opening statements on August 18th. Prosecutors stated in a letter to families that Kohberger's defense team approached them last week seeking a plea offer. Prosecutors met with available family members and decided to make a formal offer. They emphasize that this agreement ensures conviction, life in prison, and avoids "decades of post-conviction appeals" that are common in death penalty cases.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/6U-T0fjM5MM The post-verdict statements from jurors in the Karen Read Retrial, emphasizing the importance of juror transparency and their reasoning for the "not guilty" verdict. The jurors were described as serious, conscientious, and respectful in their deliberations, focusing on the evidence and defining each charge. There are concerns that threats and harassment against jurors could discourage future citizens from serving, suggesting that juror lists should be sealed by default to protect their privacy unless they choose to come forward. The initial, withdrawn verdict was due to one male juror having doubts at lunch, asking if he could take back his vote, but later confirming "Okay, guilty of OUI." Juror #1 aka The Foreperson, stated there was no single moment that solidified guilt, and the evidence presented was "paper-thin," failing to bring comfort to the victim's family. He highlighted the struggle to reconcile sympathy for the victim's family with the lack of sufficient evidence for a conviction. He worked really hard to make sure that all of the jurors felt heard and confident with their decision. Juror #11, addressed accusations from "internet trolls," clarifying she is an attorney in Brazil but not the US, and her interest in true crime was focused on Brazilian cases, hence her unfamiliarity with the Read case before jury duty. She expressed happiness that Karen Read would not go to jail for something she didn't do, but also anger that John O'Keefe's fate remains unknown. She also confirmed they were largely unaware of the large crowds and chanting outside the courthouse due to precautions taken by jury officers and entering through the back. This reinforces that external pressure did not influence their deliberations. Juror #12 initially leaned towards "guilty" but changed her mind after reviewing the evidence, not finding a specific piece of information she was looking for. She wouldn't share what that evidence was. An anonymous juror spoke with the media and mentioned that during deliberations, they started making more progress when they got "huge poster board paper." They then worked with other members of the jury to write down the definition of every charge on the poster board, essentially workshopping the jury instructions. Despite the challenges, jurors' willingness to speak out fosters transparency and highlights that jurors genuinely strive to make the right decisions based on the evidence presented.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/i7IdKgUQoDU After Karen Read was acquitted of the Murder charges on June 18, 2025, DA Michael Morrissey, & Special Prosecutor, Hank Brennan gave statements to the media that prompted Alan Jackson counter. "The jury has spoken," DA Michael Morrissey simply states. Hank Brennan expresses disappointment in the verdict and states that his independent review, along with a closed federal investigation, led him to conclude that only one person was responsible for John O'Keefe's death, and no other suspects were identified. If Brennan believed only one person was responsible, a prosecutor's job is to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt, which was not achieved. He also condemns a "campaign of intimidation and abuse" against witnesses. That sentiment is agreeable but incomplete because he doesn't also condemn it also against the witness, jurors and other participates. Jackson blasts Brennan for an "egregious breach of prosecutorial ethics" by attempting to publicly shame and discredit the jury and supplant his personal views for that of the jury. Jackson argues that Brennan's claims of a thorough investigation are false, given the defense uncovered hidden exculpatory evidence, lies, and perjury by the Commonwealth's own witnesses, cops covering for other cops, a biased and corrupt lead investigator with personal ties to witnesses, and inculpatory and suspicious conduct by a myriad of witnesses. Jackson asserts that the prosecution's effort was a personal vendetta against Karen Read, not a pursuit of justice for John O'Keefe, and that the case never should have gone to trial in the first place. He directly accuses DA Michael Morrissey of having no interest in actually seeking justice for John O'Keefe.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/i7IdKgUQoDU After Karen Read was acquitted of the Murder charges on June 18, 2025, Michael Proctor, The Alberts & McCabes attended video interviews. Michael Proctor was Interviewed by 20/20. He addresses his strong negative feelings and derogatory comments about Karen Read, stating they developed as the case progressed, but admits they were regrettable. Proctor denies planting evidence, calling it a ridiculous accusation. He believes the negative perception from the public is a "loud minority" and maintains he would do nothing differently in the investigation, attributing any issues to the "crazy crazy so-called conspiracy" online rather than acknowledging any potential flaws in his own work. There was a lack of remorse from Proctor for potentially tainting the investigation and no apology to Karen Read. He believes he was unfairly fired for personal texts and that his union rep took his uniforms. Brian, Nicole and Chris Albert were interviewed together with Jen and Matt McCabe by ABC's Nightline. Brian Albert's lack of curiosity and inaction given the situation, especially as a Boston police officer, despite not being Canton PD. Brian's response essentially was, "Why would I go out there?" Brian Albert also describes Jen McCabe barging into his room early in the morning but there was no mention in their recounting of the morning about wrangling the dog. Ultimately, the families felt like they were not protect by the judicial process and told the audience to think twice before becoming a witness in a trial. That is not sound advice as there are consequences for not cooperating with a subpoena. There was a lot of frustration with the clipped nature of the interviews and the perceived lack of accountability or self-reflection from the interviewees. The witnesses seem to be focusing on the "straw man" of public conspiracy theories rather than addressing odd behavior or a poor investigation, leading to unanswered questions.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/JaBePBtlqQA Day 36 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on June 18, 2025 and a Verdict was reached! After 4 days of deliberation, the jury in the Karen Read murder retrial delivered their verdicts. Karen Read was found not guilty of second-degree murder (Count 1) and leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death (Count 3). She was found guilty only on the lesser included charge of operating under the influence (OUI) with a blood alcohol level of 0.08 or greater (Count 2), which is a misdemeanor. Immediately after the verdict, Karen Read was sentenced to one year of probation and a 24D program, which is a standard first-time OUI offer. Outside the courthouse, Karen Read addressed the crowd while standing next to her defense team, David Yannetti, Alan Jackson, and Elizabeth Little, and Robert Alessi. Karen Read thanked her supporters and stated that no one has fought harder for justice for John O'Keefe than she and her team. Her father also acknowledged the strength of Karen and the support of their extended family and the legal team. There was confusion during the reading of the verdicts, likely due to an initial incorrect verdict form. This form was sealed. The Commonwealth cannot appeal the not guilty verdicts. It's unlikely anyone else will be charged in John O'Keefe's death for the same crime, but if there are issues with the investigation itself, those could be charged separately. There is still the civil case against Karen read by the O'Keefe family which I will follow up on in the future but for now, .

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/1FQDyZVIbho Day 35 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on June 17, 2025. We are on the 3rd day of Verdict Watch and the jurors had questions! 1) They asked about the specific time frame for the OUI (Operating Under the Influence) charge, whether it was 12:45 a.m. or 5:00 a.m. The court responded that the jurors have all the evidence and are the sole fact-finders. 2) They asked if video clips of Karen Read's interviews were evidence and how they could consider them. The court affirmed that the videos are evidence and should be weighed like any other evidence. However, before considering any such statement, the jury must determine beyond a reasonable doubt that Read made the statement voluntarily, freely, and rationally. 3) The jury asked if convicting on a sub-charge (specifically offense two, number five, referring to the OUI) would automatically convict on the overall charges. The court introduced and read an amended verdict slip to clarify the process. Later, the jury sent another question while the court was deliberating on how to answer the first 3 questions. 4) They were asking if finding "not guilty" on two charges but being unable to agree on a third, results in a hung jury on all three or just one. The court's initial inclination was to respond that it was a theoretical question and could not be answered, as jurors are not to be concerned with the consequences of their verdict. The defense objected, arguing that it was a question about how to report a verdict, not its consequences, and that the jury instructions already addressed this. Ultimately, the court decided to respond that it was a theoretical question and thus unanswerable. No Verdict was made at the end of day, we'll see what happens on Day 36.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/9W-28UtY1lY Day 31 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on June 11, 2025. Neither Karen Read nor Former Trooper Proctor will be called to testify. A charging conference, where jury instructions will be discussed, is scheduled for tomorrow. The Defense is requesting instructions regarding "missing witnesses" and the hoodie, but not a "third-party culprit" instruction. Dr. Rentschler's testimony focused on the paint transfer test and concluded that the injuries were inconsistent with the Commonwealth's theory, stating that the abrasions on O'Keefe's arm do not correspond to how an arm would interact with the vehicle if struck at a right angle. The Defense effectively used visuals from his Power Point to support Dr. Rentschler's testimony. During cross-examination, Special Prosecutor, Hank Brennan, largely avoided questions about Dr. Rentschler's testing, instead focusing on his independence and expenses. Rentschler maintained his opinions were unchanged by these factors. Brennan's cross-examination strategy undermined the Commonwealth's position, especially given the high payment to their own experts. A significant development is that the Commonwealth will not call any rebuttal witnesses once the defense rests, a surprising move given their prior legal battles over testimony. The introduction of X-rays by the defense, which many believed didn't exist due to Dr. Welcher's testimony, may have influenced this decision. With the evidence phase concluding, the next steps are the charging conference, where jury instructions and lesser-included crimes will be debated, and then closing arguments on Friday. The jury will then deliberate, with the complexity of Count Two (involuntary manslaughter) expected to be a key focus, as it was in the previous trial.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/qgkQm-VgMu0 Day 30 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on June 10, 2025. Defense Attorney Alan Jackson started the day by coming in hot and accused the Prosecution of "burden shifting," implying they were improperly trying to make the defense prove their case. He provided a transcript that the Prosecution opened the door to ask Dr. Laposata about dog bites when Brennan inquired Dr. Russell about Dr. Laposata's report about dos bites. The Judge Denied questioning about dog bites but okay to question about animal bites. The judge offered to give an instruction about burden shifting to the jury but Jackson declined it. There was confusion about whether Dr. Wrenchler had seen X-ray evidence, as he testified there were none done to the arm, while Dr. La Pasada's testimony indicated X-rays did exist. This point raises questions about what evidence was provided to Dr. Wrenchler and how rebuttal will go. During Cross Examination and the Morning Break, Brennan wanted to impeach Dr. Laposata's credibility with past issues from her time as a medical examiner, including an audit and handling of the Station nightclub fire. The court allowed some of this to be brought up during cross-examination but not all. A juror's question led to the court clarifying what it meant when video evidence was "stricken" during testimony showing that all jurors are paying attention and really want to get the understanding right. The Defense's last witness, Dr. Andrew Rentschler, a Biomechanical Engineer at ARCCA, testified about how ARCCA was hired by a government agency and was not given information about the case. They were only give the circumstances and to try to recreate it. His analysis of John O'Keefe's injuries were that the injuries were not consistent with being struck by the Lexus, specifically the tail light. He determined that the force required to produce the skull fracture was significantly higher than what could result from impact with the taillight at a speed of 15 mph. There were several disputes regarding the content of Dr. Rentschler's PowerPoint presentation, with objections to text containing hearsay and ultimate opinions. The court ordered the presentation to be edited, with certain text removed. This will be finalized on Day 31 before the jury comes in.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/_U9Gv2ielto Day 29 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on June 9, 2025. On week 8 of the trial, will the jury get the case this week to deliberate? Special Prosecutor, Hanke Brennan, asks Dr. Wolfe, the Director of Accident Reconstruction at ARCCA, about the appearance of holes on the back of Mr. O'Keefe's hoodie and whether these holes are consistent with road rash or other damage. He asked him if he'd ever consider if Mr. O'Keefe may have fallen or landed on his back. Dr. Wolf stated he did not consider whether Mr. O'Keefe had fallen or landed on his back. Defense Attorney, Robert Alessi, asked for a Mistrial with Prejudice due to Intentional Misconduct by the prosecution regarding questioning about the hoodie and its damage. The defense argued the prosecution intentionally left out evidence about the holes on the back of the hoodie being clippings from the crime lab. The judge did not grant a mistrial but agreed to instructed the jury to disregard the questions and give a strong admonishment about the prosecution. When it came time to it, the Judge did not give a strong admonishment or admit the pictures into evidence. At the end of the day, the defense said that they will address this the following day. A Voir Dire of Dr. Laposata was conducted and Judge Cannone ruled she cannot testify that the wounds on John O'Keefe's arm were from a dog, but she will be able to testify about the original opinions about the cause and manner of death. Direct Examination continues on Day 30.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/fyEtt02zOn8 Day 28 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on June 6, 2025. Karen Read spoke to the media and suggested the case might go to the jury the following week. The judge denied the motion to have police procedure expert Michael Easter testify. Today we were all day with Dr. Daniel Wolfe, Direct of Accident Reconstruction at ARCCA. He tests conducted using a pressurized air cannon to fire a drinking glass at a car's tail light to simulate damage. ARCCA also purchased an "exemplar vehicle," a 2021 LX 570, to test damage to the tail light. ARCCA conducted tests to rebut Dr. Welcher's testimony. They tested to see if damage from a thrown rocks glass matched the damage to Karen Read's tail light, and compared that to damage from collisions with a test dummy arm and Resource Randy, a full body dummy. Tests were conducted using a crash test dummy with a hoodie similar to John O'Keefe's, and none of the tests damaged the hoodie. The most helpful part of Dr. Wolf's testimony was explaining the inner and outer plastic layers of the tail light, which helped understand the depth of the damage.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/-SN-jb2bT-0 Day 27 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on June 4, 2025. When prosecution's usually focus on making a case clearer, in this case, the prosecution's strategy seems to be to muddy the evidence. Brian Loughran, a snow plow driver, said he saw a Ford Edge parked on the street going up Fairview around 3-4am. There's a procedure to call in vehicles parked on the street during snow removal, but he did not do so. While Special Prosecutor, Hank Brennan, did the cross-examination, he focused on online activity, specifically about a blogger talking about him. He stated he knew someone was talking about him online, but he didn't feel threatened or harassed. He also mentioned that his wife had recently passed, and he wasn't paying attention to online activity. Karina Kolokithas, a friend of John and Karen who was at the Waterfall Bar, spoke about how everyone was in a celebratory mood and having a good time. John O'Keefe was described as being "over the moon excited" for his niece and her future. She also mentioned that John and Karen were "sweet with one another." She talked to Karen Read for more than 50 minutes and noted that Karen was drinking water all night. She did not perceive Karen Read to be intoxicated. This point was highlighted as potentially persuasive for the jury regarding Karen Read's level of intoxication. Her testimony about the jovial evening was contrasted with the defense's presentation of the waterfall video, which focused on the interactions between Brian Higgins, Brian Albert, and Chris Albert, suggesting potential doubt about the overall mood of the evening.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/VaZWKV-xJkQ Day 26 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on June 3, 2025. Dr. Marie Russell, the defense's dog bite expert, is on the stand for cross-examination. There's discussion about Karen Read's statements and whether they changed Dr. Russell's opinion. Dr. Russell states that Read's statements did not change her analysis, citing Read's stressful state and potential acute grief reaction. The defense moves for a mistrial with prejudice due to the prosecution bringing up DNA in front of the jury, which is ultimately denied. Dr. Russell's redirect involves questions about why DNA results not showing dog DNA didn't change her opinion, and discussions of medical journal articles regarding dog bites. Sgt. Nicholas Barros, a Dighton Police Officer, testifies about observing damage to the tail light of Karen Read's SUV. He describes a crack and a missing piece instead of the majority of it gone. Special Prosecutor, Hank Brennan, cross-examines Barros, focusing on inconsistencies in his testimony and report, his meeting with defense attorneys, and the condition of the tail light being potentially obscured by snow. There's a discussion about photos of the tail light and discrepancies in the damage shown, and how his memory of the damage might have been affected by seeing various videos and photos of the vehicle after the initial observation.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/agSsaDTCZJc Day 25 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on June 2, 2025. During week seven of the trial, the defense is currently presenting its case, and they are keeping in mind that the prosecution will have rebuttal witnesses. Judge Cannone allowed Former Trooper Michael Proctor's texts to be admitted into evidence while being read by his childhood friend, Jonathan Diamandis. When the texts messages began to get really egregious, the witness didn't feel comfortable reading it allowed so Special Prosecutor, Hank Brennan, read them allowed while the witness confirmed what was said. This didn't offer for the truth of the matter but instead, focusing on his state of mind and potential bias in the investigation. A key witness, Kelly Dever, a former Canton police officer, testified about seeing Chief Burkowitz and Brian Higgins with Karen Reed's SUV for a long time the night of John O'Keefe's death. She later claimed this was a false memory influenced by a timeline. She also mentioned being interviewed by the FBI and being threatened with perjury by the defense team. Dr. Marie Russell, a dog bite expert, discussed John O'Keefe's injuries to his right arm. Dr. Russell believes the injuries are consistent with a dog attack and not with a motor vehicle accident. The cross-examination of Dr. Russell is ongoing, focusing on her expertise, marketing, and opinions. Cross examination will continue on Day 26!

Emily unpacks the prosecution’s latest moves, including detailed witness testimony from former associates of Sean “Diddy” Combs. These testimonies describe alleged racketeering, coercion, and disturbing claims about Diddy’s influence over law enforcement. Emily explains what the government is trying to prove, how these allegations could support a broader conspiracy charge, and what this means for the future of the case. Tom Girardi Sentencing - The disgraced former attorney is facing sentencing for stealing from his clients, with a new court date set for June 3rd. Emily walks through what’s at stake, how the court is approaching his health and legal status, and why this case continues to shake the legal industry. The Chrisley Case and Comeback? After convictions for tax evasion and bank fraud, the Chrisleys received a high-profile pardon from President Trump. Now, they’re reportedly planning a new reality show about their legal journey. Emily explains the legal timeline, the public reaction, and what we might expect from their next chapter—both in court and on-screen. Karen Read Trial | The Proctor Problem - The episode then shifts back to the Karen Read trial, now in its seventh week. Emily dives deep into the growing controversy around former lead investigator Michael Proctor, whose text messages have raised serious concerns about bias and misconduct. She explains the complex legal arguments about whether those texts can be admitted as evidence, the defense’s surprise move to not call Proctor as a witness (for now), and the strategic risks involved.

Defense Case Starts and they don't want to call Proctor | Case Brief Watch the full coverage of the live stream on @TheEmilyDBaker YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/live/0Coi3nBtXcQ?si=5VFXwAl2xxgxxDpB Day 24 of the Karen Read retrial focuses on the defense's case and a motion to dismiss. Initially, the motion to dismiss is discussed, highlighting how it is generally denied unless there's a complete lack of evidence. The court typically favors the prosecution's evidence for this motion. The defense then presents its first witness, a tech expert and accident reconstructionist, who analyzes reports from Burgess and Welchure. The expert discusses the timing of the text stream event (1162-2), the backing event of Karen Read's vehicle, and John O'Keefe's phone time. He simplifies complex slides and presents 30 different timing possibilities between the Lexus text stream time and O'Keefe's phone. He points out that three of these possibilities show the text stream event ending after O'Keefe's phone's last manual button click. The expert also addresses whether Karen Read's car ever registered a collision in its data, concluding there was no registration of a collision during relevant trigger events. Cross-examination by Brennan explores the expert's reliance on others' data and whether the Lexus ever registered a collision before. It is clarified that the system is geared toward vehicle-to-vehicle collisions, not vehicle-to-pedestrian ones. Further discussion includes a second chip-off procedure and an SD card found with date and time information, clarifying the timing of key cycles. Brennan’s cross-examination also focuses on a chart of infotainment calls and the expert’s understanding and assumptions about the data. The discussion highlights that the expert agrees the closest points in time to the 11622 event, specifically the three-point turn maneuver, are the most reliable for syncing the clocks. The day ends with discussion about Michael Proctor's text threads and the defense's attempt to authenticate them without calling Proctor as a witness. The Commonwealth argues Proctor needs to be called for cross-examination. The judge reserves a ruling on this matter.

Judge Cannone ruled against allowing the defense to question Dr. Welcher further about Trooper Paul and Dr. Irini Scordi-Bello. The definition of "rely" and its implications in questioning witnesses were discussed. Dr. Welcher remained on the stand for the duration of the half-day session. The defense was allowed to cross-examine the Commonwealth's new accident reconstruction expert about what they relied on from the previous expert, but not necessarily all of their opinions. The defense would have to call Trooper Paul themselves. Dr. Welcher was questioned about the suspension system and height variance of the Lexus were discussed, the 3D modeling process, and about the glass on the bumper that the expert's assumptions was that it was inclusive. Cross-examination concluded after the morning break. The Commonwealth rested its case, and the Defense will argue their motion to dismiss on Day 24 and call their first witness, their tech expert, Matthew DiSogra.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/IduAs7XWVEU Day 22 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on May 28, 2025. After a brief Direct Examination by Special Prosecutor, Hank Brennan, of their Accident Reconstructionist, Dr. Welcher, Cross Examination took up the whole day and will continue on Day 23. Defense Attorney, Robert Alessi, ross-examination was rigorous and focused on challenging the credibility, methodology, and conclusions of the Commonwealth's expert witness. Dr. Welcher was repeatedly admonished by the court for looking at his computer and searching for information during the cross-examination, rather than answering directly from memory. Alessi questioned Dr. Welchre about the significant amount his firm, Aperture, was being paid by the Norfolk County District Attorney's Office ($325,000), and the details surrounding the purchase and sale of a Lexus exemplar for testing. The defense sought to highlight potential bias due to financial incentives. Alessi challenged inconsistencies in Dr. Welchre's testimony, such as the distance the Lexus traveled in reverse during a test (initially said to be 53 feet, then 87 feet), and the explanation of the 8 mph threshold for tail light breakage. Alessi delved into Dr. Welcher's use of data and images from Trooper Paul's report, questioning the extent to which Dr. Welcher relied on that information in his analysis. There was a dispute about a drone image and other diagrams, leading to a "Voir dire" (examination outside the presence of the jury) to clarify the sources of these materials. The voir dire aimed to clarify the sources of Dr. Welcher's materials and to determine the extent to which he relied on Trooper Paul's report or other evidence. It highlighted the defense's effort to question the independence of Dr. Welcher's analysis and the Commonwealth's attempt to defend it. The voir dire concluded with plans to continue the cross-examination the following day, with the understanding that time was limited due to a juror's scheduling issue.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/3DAtOqbCSh0 Day 21 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on May 27, 2025. Week six of evidence included a voir dire of Dr. Welcher, the Commonwealth's accident reconstructionist. Concerns were raised about updated slides and changes to the presentation at the direction of Special Prosecutor, Hank Brennan, without informing the defense. Dr. Welcher also mentioned being "inundated" with emails about issues with Burgess' CV but he was told by the court not to read or discuss them. The accident reconstructionist focused on the "trigger event," during a three point turn and its connection to Ian Whiffin's last point of contact. There was also discussion of variance, the three-point turn of the Lexus, and the backing event. Dr. Welcher analyzed the Lexus's tech stream data, which records data before and after a trigger event, such as reversing and accelerating. The data showed the backing event occurred about 8 minutes after the three-point turn. There are discrepancies and confusing aspects of Dr. Welcher's testimony and PowerPoint slides. He also revealed that the Lexus's tires were spinning and slipping during the backing event, and the car traveled a total of 87 feet. Dr. Welcher ultimately concluded that the Lexus struck John O'Keefe, which led to objections and a sidebar discussion. Dr. Dr. Welcher struggled to provide exact details, such as the point of impact or speed, and that many of his findings showed “results that were all over the map”. He also mentions he is only certain that damage to Karen Read's tail light didn't come from John O'Keefe's Chevy. Though this expert's testimony was tedious and disorganized, it did provided many areas doubt which is a win for the defense. Direct Examination will continue on Day 22.

Bryan Kohberger’s has filed a 40-page motion to continue the trial, arguing they are not ready and need more time for investigation and preparation, particularly for the death penalty phase. The defense is also concerned about a Dateline special that aired, featuring non-public information allegedly leaked from law enforcement or the prosecution. They argue the special was prejudicial and portrayed Kohberger negatively. In addition, a forthcoming book by James Patterson titled "The Idaho Four: American Tragedy" is also cited as a major concern. The book claims to have "unmatched access" to the investigation and is set to be released shortly before jury selection in July. The defense argues it will further prejudice the jury pool. The court had previously issued a non-dissemination order to restrict the release of certain information. The defense argues that both the Dateline special and the book appear to violate this order. The defense asserts that proceeding with the trial as scheduled would violate Kohberger's constitutional rights, including the right to a fair trial, due process, and effective counsel. The defense suggests that a trial delay might not be the only remedy, hinting at the possibility of further motions, such as removing the death penalty or dismissing the case.

Involving court delays, individual jurors questioned at sidebar, and a shift in witness order. Judge Cannone addressed the jury when they came back from the inquiry and asked them if they refrained from doing research or independent investigations. She noted that she had already asked them about discussing the case with anyone or seeing, hearing or reading information about the case. Their seats were rearranged and the court day moved forward. Dr. Aizik Wolf, a neuro brain surgeon, testified about the injuries to John O'Keefe's head, stating they were consistent with a fall backward. The doctor also clarified that other facial lacerations would not have been caused by this type of fall. Scientific evidence from Christina Hanley, a Trace Analyst, a state crime lab, analyzed the glass and plastic fragments. She linked clear and red plastic pieces from John O'Keefe's clothing to the tail light housing. Defense Attorney, Alan Jackson, presented a demonstrative exhibit showing which evidence items matched and which didn't. The ones that didn't match were collected by Trooper Michael Proctor.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/IJgD247smlQ Day 19 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on May 20, 2025. Defense Attorney, Robert Alessi, continued cross examining Shanon Burgess. Questions arose regarding the accuracy of dates and timeline in the expert's analysis, with errors of 24 hours. Burgess kept saying that the event happened the night of January 29-30th when in reality is it was January 28-29th. Shanon's analysis of call logs, text streams, and vehicle data was scrutinized. There were concerns about the use of approximate times and potential confirmation bias. The expert did not have the raw data for the techstream information, he instead got it from Welcher's report. During redirect examination, Special Prosecutor, Hank Brennan, attempted to clarify Burgess' credentials and data interpretation. Pointing out that he didn't need that degree to perform his job and that work life balance made it a challenge to complete his degree. On Re-Cross Examination, Alessi pointed out that in a federal court filing in Texas, Burgess' resume stated he was anticipating a BGS - Bachelor of General Science in 2024. There is no Bachelor of General Science degree in Alabama and he has been pursuing this degree since 2008. The use of the Commonwealths presenting video and audio clips, especially the voicemail, appears to be related to establishing a timeline of Karen Read's movements and actions around the time of John O'Keefe's death. The defense may use it to show her actions were consistent, while the prosecution may use it to point out inconsistencies. The 12:25/12:30 timeframe she gives for John's passing may be challenged given her audio from the voicemail at 12:41AM. Later in the day, Christina Hanley, a trace analyst expert witness from the lab testified about a mechanical match on glass. The court adjourned early after sidebar discussions.

Burgess provided detailed explanations of Lexus infotainment system data (Lexus clock and techstream data), key cycles, triggering events (like a three-point turn), and how this data was correlated with the data from John O'Keefe's iPhone. Time variances between the Lexus clock and the iPhone clock and the significance of these variances in relation to when O'Keefe's phone was locked. Defense Attorney, Robert Alessi, strongly challenged Burgess's credibility during cross examination by highlighting discrepancies and potential misrepresentations in his CV (resume), Aperture website information, and LinkedIn profile concerning his educational background and degrees. Questions were also raised about a report Burgess submitted on May 8th, at the request of the prosecution. Burgess stated he did it on his own initiative due to the report from the Defense's expert. It was thought that he did it at the request of the prosecutor but attributed the "per your request" statement to a copy-paste error. Alessi further challenged Burgess's understanding of data storage (megabits vs. megabytes) and the completeness of data extractions from the vehicle's chips. This could significantly impact the jury's perception of Shanon's testimony and the prosecution's case. The errors and inconsistencies in his statements, reports, and qualifications raise serious questions about the reliability of his expert opinions. There's more cross examination to come on Day 19.

Get 15% off OneSkin with the code LAWNERD at https://www.oneskin.co/ #oneskinpod #ad In today’s episode of The Emily Show, I’m breaking down everything from the Diddy case updates to the explosive developments surrounding "Courthouse Becky" in the Murdaugh trial, and the judge who is not having it with leaks in the Brian Kohberger case! Judge Hippler is MAD! I discuss the closed court sessions, the "Dateline" episode leaked, and the intense measures being taken to find the source. Plus, the potential for a special prosecutor and what this means for the trial. Cassie Ventura previously reached a settlement with Diddy, which the defense alludes to as a potential motive for her testimony. It is also revealed that Cassie is undergoing litigation with the Intercontinental Hotel. The defense argues that it's a domestic violence case, not sex trafficking or RICO. The shocking criminal charges against the former Clerk of Court, Becky Hill, from the Murdaugh trial. I examine the warrants and the allegations of obstruction of justice and misconduct. Plus, how she perjured herself! The Menendez brothers were resentenced to 50 years to life, instead of life without the possibility of parole. This resentencing is separate from their ongoing clemency proceedings, so they still have two legal avenues moving forward. Now that there is a change for parole, the decision ultimately rests with the parole board, and their release is not immediate or certain.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/P_Lo2vXvHyM Day 17 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on May 16, 2025. The court addressed juror conduct issues, with a jurors making facial expressions and muttering. A stipulation was read regarding State Police troopers present at the autopsy, specifically noting Troopers Keefe and Watson were present, not Former Trooper Michael Proctor. Andre Porto, the Forensic Scientist, testimony revolved around DNA evidence found on a piece of glass and the tail light, with John O'Keefe's DNA and DNA from two unknown individuals being present. The defense strategy focused on questioning the thoroughness of the investigation and emphasizing that unknown DNA samples were not tested against other individuals of interest like Brian Higgins. Legal arguments arose regarding the chain of custody of evidence and delays in its submission. The judge ruled on objections and addressed issues related to rebuttal witnesses and ARCA expert testimony. There were discussions about new information and reports from experts causing potential time shifts and debates over whether this information was truly new or if it was previously disclosed. The day ended with testimony from Ash Vallier, a Forensic Scientist who pieced together the tail light, with discussions about which pieces fit and which did not. Some items from evidence bags were not fitting together mechanically and other items from different bags were fitting together. Defense Attorney, David Yannetti, crossed Vallier, highlighting potential issues with the chain of custody and who had access to evidence, particularly with Trooper Proctor. Trooper Michael Proctor was identified as submitting clothing evidence to the lab six weeks after the incident and the person who brought in the all of the pieces in the dash 7 series that fit together. Judge Cannone addressed concerns about new expert reports from Aperture, ruling that they were not grounds for undue surprise or prejudice but were ample ground for cross-examination by the defense. The Judge also addressed the ARCCA expert issue, allowing limited rebuttal testimony of Aperture only as to the new opinions by ARCCA from their May 7th report. The Judge stated the defense could recall witnesses under certain circumstances and addressed the long weekend break, stating it would give the defense the time they had requested.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/hC-r7dHxioA Day 16 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on May 15, 2025. At the end of Re-Cross Examination, Maureen Harnett, the forensic analyst, wanted to "correct something for the record" from their previous testimony. This implies there might have been an error or omission in their earlier statements that they feel needs to be addressed. However, the court and Special Prosecutor, Hank Brennan, did not seem inclined to allow the correction at that moment. Judge Cannone let them know all of the questions that needed to be asked of them was complete and they were free to go. Next, Dr. Irini Scordi-Bello, Coroner & Medical Examiner, took the stand! A significant portion of the testimony revolves around the coroner's finding that the manner of John O'Keefe's death was "undetermined." This term is defined as when the information pointing to one manner of death is not more compelling than other reasonable possibilities, or when the death investigation lacks sufficient information to opine on a manner of death at the time the death certificate is signed. The coroner stated she examined John O'Keefe's lower extremities as part of the protocol in cases of suspected impact with a motor vehicle. She did not find any evidence of an impact site. The Prosecution asked the coroner repeatedly if she was aware of various pieces of information, including statements that Karen Read allegedly made, such as "I hit him," that she didn't know how she cracked her tail light, and that people had been drinking. The coroner confirms that she was aware of most of this information before making her determination. Despite knowing all this information, Dr. Scordi-Bello still concluded that the manner of death was undetermined. The coroner recalls two individuals being present at the autopsy. Initially, she doesn't remember their names, but after looking at a log, she identifies them as Mr. Keefe and Mr. Connor. There's confusion, because Trooper Connor Keefe's testimony is that he attended the autopsy alone but the person next to him looks a lot like Former Trooper Michael Proctor. After the Jury was dismissed, disputes over expert witnesses involve issues of late discovery, changing reports, timing discrepancies, and procedural fairness. Defense attorney, Robert Alessi, is concerned that the Commonwealth is trying to adjust Aperture, their expert's testimony, to align with other witness, Ian Whiffin. This new report shifts the estimated time of impact from between 12:31:38am-12:31:43am to 12:32:16am. The Commonwealth, in turn, argues that they need more time to review the defense's voluminous reports from ARCCA and to ensure their expert can provide a complete and accurate analysis. These conflicts are creating significant tension and procedural challenges in the trial. Judge Cannone has taken under advisement and will make a determination soon.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/onTVtSxM5Qw Day 15 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on May 14, 2025, after an unexpected court cancellation the day before due to Karen Read reportedly feeling unwell. The day began with the prosecution presenting two clips of Karen Read that were difficult to hear. Testimony was then given by John O'Keefe's niece (not broadcast), followed by several scientific witnesses from the Massachusetts State Police and Needham PD. Key testimony focused on evidence collection and documentation related to Karen Read's SUV. Trooper Zachary Clark presented photos of the SUV, while Trooper Evan Brent provided photos of John O'Keefe's Chevy Traverse. Sergeant Brian Gallerani testified about collecting swabs for DNA testing from Proctor and Bukhenik. Marine Hartnett from the state police crime lab discussed the processing of Karen Read's SUV, including documenting glass pieces, scratches, dents, and a hair found on the vehicle. An unexpected moment occurred when Hartnett opened an evidence bag in court and found items she did not expect, leading to a sidebar, recess, and lunch break. This raised concerns about evidence handling and the accuracy of what was in the bag. During cross-examination, defense attorney Robert Alessi questioned Hartnett about the number of stickers used to mark glass on the bumper, suggesting there might only be one sticker and a reflection, thus potentially doubling the amount of perceived glass. Alessi also focused on a hair found on the SUV, questioning if it had moved or changed position between photos due to different angles or other factors. The court also viewed previously unseen video footage from the Sallyport showing snow melting and falling off Karen Read's SUV. Alessi highlighted this footage, suggesting the snow hit the car bumper and glass should have fallen off. The day concluded with continued questions regarding the hair on the vehicle and its potential movement or presence despite the melting snow. The scientific foundation is being laid for the reconstructionist from both sides. The possibility of ending with the Commonwealth's accident reconstructionist is discussed.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/Yr5TBpqiqaQ Day 14 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on May 12, 2025. Sgt. Yuri Bukhenik Testimony concluded today. Topics discussed included accessing Michael Proctor accessing the Ring app on John O'Keefe's cell phone instead of an image of his phone, context of the derogatory text messages by Michael Proctor and Bukhenik's glowing performance review of Michael Proctor despite acknowledging those vile messages. The defense questioned Sergeant Buchanan about Brian Higgins' movements and activities in the early morning hours, based on video footage. They also inquired about the investigation's handling of Higgins' text messages and potential motives. The defense highlighted areas they believed the investigation did not adequately explore, such as Higgins' potential jealousy and his whereabouts at the time of the incident. Discussion also revolved around text messages between Higgins and the Read, and whether the police properly verified those messages. The court has not yet made a decision on motions filed by the Commonwealth, including motions to preclude hearsay and introduce evidence about the relationship between the defendant and the victim. If granted, the witnesses at the Aruba trip could be called in to testify.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/Fpf2EGgVDzg Day 13 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on May 9, 2025. Sgt. Yuri Bukhenik is back on the stand with Cross Examination and Defense Attorney Alan Jackson keeps cornering him about Proctor's true involvements. At one point he says that he gave evidence bag to someone but didn't know who. A significant portion of the day involved reading text messages between Brian Higgins and Karen Read into evidence. These texts were described as potentially "flirtatious" and revealed details about Karen's relationship with John O'Keefe, her feelings about children, and the presence of ring cameras at O'Keefe's house. The defense aimed to highlight these texts to suggest the investigation should have looked more closely at Higgins. Trooper Bukhenik was assigned to find the location of the Albert's dog, Chole, who was shortly rehomed after John O'Keefe's death. Chloe is supposed now named Cora but we are not sure if that is the same dog because they were rehomed twice after the Albert's. There were not transfer records, rehoming records, purchase records and the validity of the veterinary records are questioned because the dog's name and current owner were not on the document. Alan Jackson asked if he was aware that there were more than 20 official police reports were not recorded for more than 100 days from the time of the event in question? There were 11 reports that were more than 300 days from the time of the event? Three reports were more than 400 days from the time of the event? Four reports were more than 500 days from the time of the event? The longest delay of any report in this investigation was 581 days? Bukhenik acknowledged that he was not aware of the exact dates and delays. He tried to explain that in a perfect world, reports would be written as events happen but implied there were reasons for the delays. It was revealed during the cross-examination of Sergeant Yuri Bukhenik that there were significant delays in interviewing witnesses from Ricky D'Antuono's truck. While Ryan Nagle, who was also in the truck, was interviewed in February 2022, Ricky D'Antuono, who drove the truck, were not interviewed until September 2023. This is approximately a year and a half later! The defense appears to be anticipating that the Commonwealth will not call certain witnesses (Brian Albert, Brian Higgins, Ricky D'Antuono, and potentially Trooper Proctor), and they are trying to introduce their desired information through Sergeant Bukhenik's testimony. Cross Examination continues on Monday.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/Tag0fJcx9ZI Day 12 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on May 8, 2025. Sgt. Yuri Bukhenik was the only witness to take the stand as he walked in with bins of evidence. There was confusion regarding John O'Keefe's sneakers being initially misidentified a being the one from from 34 Fairview versus from the hospital. Special Prosecutor Hank Brennan and Bukhenik talked briefly in the beginning about Proctor, calling him Mr. Proctor instead of Trooper Proctor but we know Defense Attorney Alan Jackson will call him Former Trooper Proctor. Sgt. Yuri Bukhenik explained that there was an investigation against him due to failure to properly Supervise Michael Proctor. His punishment was that he lost 5 vacation days. He continues to work in homicide and has not been demoted from Sargent. When Bukhenik read the text message thread from Proctor, which contained horrible messages that he said he acknowledged with a thumbs up emoji, we can only image what was going through the jurors minds. Bukhenik presented a video timeline of Karen Read drinking at CF McCarthy's and The Waterfall before we got to Cross Examination! Sgt. Bukhenik refused to call Proctor the Lead Investigator of this case and said he was only a "Case Agent' and/or "Case Officer." He was questioned about the integrity of the investigation and whether Michael Proctor's involvement tainted it, to which he responded that the investigation was done with honor and integrity. When asked if Proctor handled the case with honor and integrity, Bukhenik relented and only said yes with integrity. Access to evidence, specifically John O'Keefe's clothing, was discussed, noting that "anyone with a key card" had access to the room where it was stored for six days. The timing and documentation of evidence collection, particularly clothing and items from 34 Fairview, were questioned. It was noted that reports about the searches weren't written until November 4th, 2023, despite the events happening in February 2022!

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/QZlJIBMCSsM Day 11 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on May 7, 2025. It feels like Deja Vu for Emily because it is her birthday and last year she was covering Day 6 of the first Karen Read trial! The Prosecution's case said it would take 3 weeks and half to present their case and they are more than halfway through, but several key witnesses, such as Former Trooper Michael Proctor, have not yet been called. Trooper Connor Keefe took the stand and displayed physical evidence, including pieces of tail light and a shoe, was shown to the jury. There was an issue with the evidence bag containing tail light pieces being marked as "two pieces" when there were actually three. Defense Attorney David Yanetti had an effective Cross Examination and Keefe tried to distance himself from Former Trooper Proctor or even say that he does good work. Yanetti pointed out that Keefe is a junior detective, and he was the only person who attended John O'Keefe's autopsy. It is usually the Lead Investigator that attends the autopsy and the fact that his partner, Trooper Bukhenik, didn't attend either is also strange. The fact that a fallen officer, John O'Keefe, was not treated with respect is baffling. Jessica Hyde, the Digital Forensics Examiner, took the stand to take about the Cellebrite data of Jen McCabe and John O'Keefe's phone. She talked about the various tools she used to decipher the information and her opinion on the "Hos long to die in cold" Google Search began at 6:23:49am because that is when Apple Suggested Term gave her, "How long does it take to digest food." After that, is when other variations of search happens like "how long ti die in cikd" at 6:23:51am, 6:23:57am, 6:24:18am, & 6:24:47am. Hyde also explained that a browser tab cannot be deleted and that Jen McCabe didn't manually delete any calls from her log. The phone has a limitation that it only stores 200 calls records and from Jan 29 to February 1st, when her phone was imaged, she must have made over 200 calls because the older calls were being erased from the phone in order to store new incoming calls. This is believable because we've heard her make 5 calls in 10 mins when the FBI unexpectedly showed up at her house for questing. Another notable instance is that Jessica Hyde noted in her report that John's phone interaction is at 12:20am but Ian Whiffin's report showed that the phone was locked with a button at 12:32am. In Jessica Hyde's testimony indicated that John O'Keefe's phone did not appear to have been secured in a Faraday bag or placed in airplane mode, as evidenced by the fact that SMS messages and ring notifications were still being received on the phone. This raised concerns about whether the phone was properly handled and secured by law enforcement, as new information could potentially still be added to the device. Special Prosecutor Hank Brennan played a clip from ID Docuseries, April 30, 2024, where Karen Read says, "Jen McCabe- It's me or her. Either I'm going down, Jen, or you are!” The implications of these statements and how the jury might interpret them are considered. The Prosecution can infer that Karen is using Jen as a scapegoat and with more videos he will use at his disposal, make it to where she has no choice to take the stand to clarify her statements. The Prosecution is presenting a stronger case in this retrial compared to the previous trial. However, concerns are raised about upcoming testimonies, such as the accident reconstructionist and medical experts.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/r2vEF0vxG2w Day 10 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on May 6, 2025. We finished up Cross Examination of Lt. Paul Gallagher, along with Re-Directs and Re-Cross. When he was clearing the area with the leaf blower, he never found a hat, a shoe, and red pieces of plastic tail lights. He was also questioned why he never got a search warrant to the premises of 34 Fairview Rd. Meteorologist, Robert Gilman, testified next and talked about the ground being frozen, the amount of snow on the ground, and visibility conditions at the time of the incident. Defense Attorney Robert Alessi used this testimony to highlight the relatively little amount of snow and good visibility when John arrived at 34 Fairview Rd. The Meteorologist also brought up the concept of windchill to argue about the potential effect on O'Keefe's body and to question whether he could have died from the cold outside. Video clips of Karen Read in interviews with media saying she could have clipped John in the leg were played tot he jury. Trooper Nick Guarino was recalled to the stand for the final time to bring in timeline evidence of evidence of Karen Read's communication with John O'Keefe's cell phone around the time they arrived to 34 Fairview Rd. Missed calls, voice messages, and texts messages varied from angry and accusatory around midnight to panicked at towards the morning up until she found John O'Keefe's body. A key piece of evidence is that Karen Read's cell phone automatically connected to John O'Keefe's home Wi-Fi Router at 12:36am. Lt. Charles Rae testified to going to 1 Meadows where John O'Keefe lived to do a wellness check on his niece and nephew. No one answered the door because by the time they arrived their, John's friends and family had already taken care of the kids. He was able to bring in footage from his dash cam showing Karen Read's SUV was at 1 Meadows and had a cracked tail light and some snow inside it. Kevin O'Hara from SERT was brought in to testify about evidence recovery around 5pm on January 29th. Their focus was initially on the area near the road to avoid evidence being plowed away. Five to six pieces of tail light and a shoe were found near the curb line. O'Hara testified that a man in a hoodie from 34 Faireview came outside the house asked "Are you here for what happened earlier?" And O'Hara replied, "Yes." And then the person just went back inside. Today's focus is on foundational testimony and evidence gathering, setting the stage for future discussions from accident reconstructionist. Though it was a less dramatic exchange between attorneys and witnesses than some previous days, how the jury will interpret the information, video clips and timeline presentation will impact the verdict.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/CQm0FID9AXY Day 9 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on May 5, 2025. We continue with Cross Examination and finishing up the testimony of Hannah Knowles from the Massachusetts State Police Crime Laboratory who explains the blood alcohol conversions and retrograde extrapolation, and how timing is critical in this case. Testimonies from Ryan Nagle, Heather Maxom, and Sarah Levinson provide insights into the events at 34 Fairview, including arrival times and observations of Karen Read's SUV. Sarah Levenson's surprisingly states never seeing the dog, Chloe, at the Albert's residence despite being friends with Brian Albert Jr. for many years. Katie McLaughlin, the female EMT who Jen McCabe stated Karen read said, "I hit him" three time in front of took the said. She also said that she heard Karen read say, "I hit him," but it was four times. Cross-examination by Alan Jackson focused on the timing of these statements and used dashcam video to break down these interactions and how her testimony does match up with what is happening on the video. Unfortunately, Jackson spent a majority of the time trying to get a "gotcha" moment by trying to prove that Katie McLaughlin and Caitlin Albert are close friends but he was unable to recreate that moment from the first trial due Special Prosecutor allowing Katie to explain her acquaintance relationship with Caitlin ahead of the Cross Examination. Jackson did manage to impeach Katie based on her words of first trial where she said that she knew of a girl by the name of Caitlin Albert that went to her school but that victory was short lived because he tried to being in picture evidence that kept being objected and sustained by Judge Cannone. Last witness of the day, Lt. Paul Gallagher, worked for the Canton Police Department at the time of the John O'Keefe's death and was the site supervisor. His testimony reveals issues with evidence handling and a lack of reports. It was his decision to use a leaf blower on the snow to uncover evidence, put blood found in the snow in Red Solo Cup and then transport them in Stop & Shop bags and found and handled the shattered drinking cocktail glass. Lt. Gallagher never wrote a report about his methods or even logged evidence with the blood he transferred. Questions about the chain of custody and why crucial information regarding Karen Read's statements was not relayed to the site supervisor. We also learn that Lieutenant Gallagher was not interviewed until just before the previous trial on April 3, 2024 by the Prosecution. We will resume with Cross Examination on Day 10. Stay tuned as we continue to follow the Karen Read Retrial and provide detailed breakdowns of each day's proceedings.

Get the details on expert witnesses, defense team changes, and what to expect in this federal case. You might remember Dr. Dawn Hughes from the Depp v Heard trial. She is an expert witness in the Diddy trial and her testimony has been limited. Remember, this hearing will not be televised but court reports inside will provide updates on various online platforms. Bryan Kohberger has a sealed hearing coming up. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was for discussion for a plea deal. Testimony about “Busy Eyebrows” are allowed to come in and the judge denied motions to remove the death penalty. The court revealed a possible timeline of events or the night of the murders and surviving witnesses' experiences. There is also a possibility that the hearing will be postponed due to the defense needing more time and being unable to adequately represent the defendant. The trial of Donna Adelson is continued due to more digital evidence being turned over. We don’t have a new date yet. Kouri Richins trial continues to be put over indefinitely pending an appeal for change of venue.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/W1usvKtssDo Day 8 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on May 2, 2025. The majority of the day revolved around the continued cross-examination of Jen McCabe by Alan Jackson. Her testimony is described as "incredibly difficult" and "evasive," with her struggling to answer direct questions. I break down what is and isn't a hostile witness since a lot of Law Nerds were wanting to know if it fits this situation. Group text message from Matt McCabe said, "Tell them the guy never came in the house," is highlighted, and Jen McCabe explains that "the guy" refers to John O'Keefe and that the "them" are the news reporters. McCabe is questioned about Google searches, particularly "hos long to die in cold," with discrepancies in her timeline and explanations. The 2:27 AM Google search time is also discussed, and McCabe claims she does not recall doing a search around that time. Jen McCabe was also caught calling her sister, Nicole Albert, the homeowner at 34 Fairview Rd, at 5:07am, after speaking over the phone with John O'Keefe's niece. The call log shows that they spoke for 38 seconds but Jen denies speaking to her. Questions arise about why Jen McCabe did not go inside Brian Albert Sr's house (a first responder with CPR training) for help when John O'Keefe was found, instead making phone calls to her sister, Nicole Albert, after calling 911. Jackson even questioned why she didn't go in the house after finding a John O'Keefe on the lawn because her sister, Nicole, could have been in perils danger and wasn't answering the phone according to Jen. You must check out this episode to this to hear her explanations of this, butt dials, and all of the other discrepancies in her testimony. The Re-Direct Examination, conducted by Special Prosecutor Brennan, focused on humanizing Jen McCabe and addressing claims of collusion among witnesses. In Re-Cross Examination where Alan Jackson brought up the issue of the suspended interview with federal agents. Lastly, testimony of Hannah Knowles from the Massachusetts State Police Crime Laboratory, regarding Karen Read's blood alcohol content (BAC), included the conversion from blood serum and retrograde extrapolation. Cross Examination of this witness will continue on Day 9.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/UwnYctoUtyU Day 4 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on April 25, 2025. I covered it on May 1st when court was not in session. The Jury went to view the property at 34 Fairview Rd where John O'Keefe was found dead. Special Prosecutor Hank wanted the jury to observe specific details at the scene, such as the Lexus, rear tail light, bumper height, flagpole, and fire hydrant. David Yannetti ended his instructions with, "you will do a proper investigation." Judge Cannone reread the Jury View instructions, reinforcing that jurors are only to observe and not conduct their own investigations. Dr. Garrey Faller, Chief of Pathology at Good Samaritan, testified to the methods of testing blood alcohol levels. At Cross Examination, attorney Elizabeth Little made a key point that the Hospital at Good Samaritan is a medical lab, not a forensic lab, meaning the blood test was for treatment purposes, not forensic purposes. This might not matter to jury as much due the interview clips of Karen Read admitting to driving slower while intoxicated and that she had been adding shots to her drink because they were weak so she didn't have as many as the Commonwealth had accounted for. Jason Becker, the Fire Paramedic, who arrived at the scene with Daniel Whitley to put Karen Read in a Section 12 Hold. Mr. Becker had a conversation with Karen Read about her "last word" or "last conversation" with John O'Keefe. The Prosecution was aiming for it to seem that it could be about a fight they had when she dropped him off at 34 Fairview Rd while the Defense was aiming for it to be that Karen read was concerned about the voicemails she left him that night. Jason Becker said that Karen read tried to show him her phone about missed called but he refused to go through her phone. Mr. Becker said he never heard Karen mention anything about voicemails. Whether the jury believes that Karen Read was upset about her last words to John O'Keefe being a fight in the car, or her voicemails after she left him at 34 Fairview Rd, could impact acquittal of charges 1 and 3 which needs to prove intent. Remember, if there are two reasonable interpretations, the jury must pick the interpretation that leads to innocence.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/tL9-DNEWaLo Day 7 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on April 30, 2025. Jen McCabe is back on the stand with Direct Examination. Special Prosecutor, Hank Brennan, asked her to recount when Karen Read said, "I hit him, I hit him, I hit him." Jen said it was in front of a female EMT and she was shock that Karen would say something like that. Direct Examination end in the morning for Alan Jackson to come in hot for a fiery Cross Examination! Jackson confronted Jen McCabe about not telling the Grand Jury that Karen said that she hit John O'Keefe and in fact she only said "Could I have hit him?" and "Did I hit him?" Jen was very evasive with her answers and even questioned Jackson. Judge Cannone would ask Jackson to move along because he would ask Jen McCabe the same question over and over again. Sometimes it would seem like he was making mountains of mole hills. Other times he would make snarky comments and the Judge would tell him to stop and tell the Jury to dismiss his comments. Jackson pointed out how Jen was corroborating stories with everyone that had been at 34 Fairview Rd the night of the 28th and the morning of the 29th. It began as early as after the Police and First Responders left the scene. Jen even went as far as to ask Julie Nagle for a screenshot of a text message of when her brother, Ryan Nagle, arrived at 34 Fairview Rd to pick her up. Jen did not share that information with Law Enforcement. The biggest discrepancy was that she initially lied to the FBI! The FBI showed up to Jen McCabe's to question her about the case. Jen asked them to wait for 10 mins before speaking with them. The FBI reminded her that it is crime to lie to them and they asked her if she called anyone before they began their conversation. Jen told them that she called her husband, Matt McCabe and her friend, Kerry Roberts. Jen ended the interview early because she felt uncomfortable with the questions they had asked her. Jen later called back the FBI to let them know that she "forgot" that she had also called 3 additional people during those 10 mins: Peggy O'Keefe, The District Attorney Witness Advocate, and Brian Albert Sr. Judge Cannone had another Freudian slip by calling Jen McCabe- Ms. Read. Ouch! There are many highlights of Jen McCabe seemingly being evasive but the biggest thing that didn't add up was her saying that she told Former Trooper Michael Proctor that she told him that she hear Karen Read say, "I hit him." However, that was not in his report. It doesn't make sense that Mr. Proctor didn't include that his report because that would have been perceived as a confession and Karen would have been in hand cuffs much sooner.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/8gU9569DwaU Day 6 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on April 29, 2025. The Cross Examination of Ian Whiffin continues with focusing on what was and wasn't included. Whiffin came under scrutiny, particularly when they admitted to not knowing the freezer's baseline temperature, the exact date of when he created his report or what the freezing temperature is in Fahrenheit. During Re-Direct, Whiffin demonstrated a tool he created for evaluating cell phone data. Surprisingly, Jen McCabe took the stand while Special Prosecutor, Hank Brennan, upped the drama by asking questions like, "And then what happened that changed everything?" Jen's testimony is clearer and more direct than in the previous trial. There have been some things that are not consistent with what she said in the first trial and we'll see how that will be confronted during Cross Examination. The Judge cut off Jen McCabe's story when Karen, Kerry Roberts and her found John O'Keefe's body in the snow and she was doing chest compressions to try to revive him. We'll pick up the rest of Direct Examination on Day 7. After the Jury was dismissed, Judge Cannone heard Brennan's Motion to Preclude ARCCA from Testifying New Opinions. The Judge Ruled in the Defense's favor and granted ARCCA to testify and enter in their report by May 7th though it wasn't without a tongue lashing. The Judge cited the Defendant's right to a fair trial as paramount even though she found that the Defense's Discovery Violations are ambushing the Prosecution's case. The Judge expects counsel comply with all rulings, rules of the court, all rules of professional conduct and no more nonsense!

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/OaPz08BtHZc Day 5 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on April 28, 2025. It began with testimony from Ian Whiffin of Cellebrite. He was approached by the Public Relations department to figure out why there is such confusion with the information from Jen McCabe's phone from the first trial. This new strategy from the Prosecution getting ahead of Jen McCabe's Google search for, "Hos long to die in cold," is smart and might take the string from that revelation when it is presented to the jury. Mr. Whiffin created a Timeline, combining health data, temperature, call/text logs, and location data from O'Keefe's phone. Cross-examination was conducted by Robert Alessi by confirming points on the timeline and highlighting what was included or left out. The Cross Examination was cut short due to the jury having a half day so that the Voir Dire of the ARCCA witnesses could be done. Hank Brennan did not use his time wisely when questioning the first ARCCA witness, Dr. Daniel Wolfe. Brennan accused Dr. Wolfe of being biased and assisting the defense with their case. Brennan yelled at Dr. Wolfe and didn't stop when the Judge asked him to. Judge Cannone eventually coaxed Brennan to move on and tighten his questioning with the next witness. The second ARCCA witness, Dr. Andrew Rentschler, admitted to having an uncomfortable lunch with Karen Read after he testified in court of the first trial. Judge Cannone requested ARCCA to send their report by May 7th. The Voir Dire is not done yet because the Prosecution and the Defense need to present their oral arguments. When will this happen?

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/GHGrjYTL384 Day 3 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on April 24, 2025. The trial is not proceeding in the order of witnesses who arrived at the scene, unlike the previous trial. Kerry Roberts' early testimony provided a timeline of events from 5:00 AM onward, which was beneficial for the jury. Judge Cannone Ruled to bring in the video clip from yesterday that the Defense objected to. It was an ID Docuseries clip from April 13, 2024. Hank Brennan played the brief video clip to the jury where Read tells an interviewer that Peggy O'Keefe, John O'Keefe's mother, leaned over a kitchen island and said, "I think he looks like he got hit by a car. He looks like he got hit by a car." As Read quotes Peggy O'Keefe, she imitates a harsh voice. The text message exchanges between Karen Read and John O'Keefe on Jan 28th were read to the Jury by Trooper Nicholas Guarino. Text messages indicated underlying disagreements about Facebook activity and hot water issues but were ultimately resolved and they decided to go out with their friends to the bar. The Prosecution played video and audio clips of Karen Read's interviews regarding her drinking. She described the drinks as weak and her adding shots to them ultimately saying that she didn't have as many drinks at the Commonwealth accounted for. She also mentioned being "buzzed" and "fuzzy," and driving slow when she's been drinking. Karen admitted to driving slower when she's had a few drinks and acknowledged she shouldn't have been driving. Stay tuned as I anticipate the upcoming testimony regarding Karen Read's blood alcohol content and its potential impact on the retrial.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker⁩ YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/3Rj_yLDmgIU Day 2 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on April 23, 2025. Kerry Roberts returns to the stand, but this time, her story takes a sharp turn. Roberts initially testified to the grand jury that she heard Karen Read ask Jen McCabe to "Google hypothermia." However, she later admitted this wasn't true and that she was told to say this by someone else, Jen McCabe. Kerry Roberts acknowledged that Jen McCabe helped her create a timeline of events at the suggestion of Peggy O'Keefe- John O'Keefe's Mother, which significantly influenced her testimony. Her testimony was filled with inconsistencies and contradictions, particularly under cross-examination. The Defense highlighted how her account of events changed depending on whether Jen McCabe was involved in the discussions. This further proves the Defense Case that the Police didn't conduct a thorough investigation by interviewing the witnesses timely, separate them, or tell them not to talk to each other of the events so that their recounts will not be tainted by each other. Peggy O'Keefe, testified. Her testimony was emotional and included new information, such as that Kerry Roberts and John O'Keefe went to high school together and attended junior prom, a detail that had not been mentioned by Kerry Roberts herself. Peggy described Karen Read at the hospital as being "loud" and wondered, "What is she doing here?" Trooper Nicholas Guarino took the stand to bring in foundation for Karen Read and John O'Keefe's cellphone extractions. Daniel Whitley took the stand after him, who was the first responder to take Karen Read to the hospital for a Section 12 Hold that was called in by Karen's father. While on Cross Examination, the Defense was able to point out that Daniel Whitley and Kerry Roberts seem to know each other well, proving that Canton is a small town and Karen Read is an outsider. An audio clip from a Gretchen Voss interview with Karen Read on June 20, 2023 was played to the jury. A video clip from a 20/20 Interview on September 27, 2023 also played to the jury. A different video clip was taken up for submission by Judge Cannone who will determine the next day if it will be allowed to be entered into evidence. Prosecutor Hank Brennan and Judge Cannone both had Freudian Slips with Kerry Roberts that you must stay tuned for.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/r76bme3HJcU The Retrial of Karen Read began on Tuesday, April 22, 2025. Trial One started on April 29th, 2024. Day One focused on Jury Instructions, Opening Statements and First Witnesses. The Prosecution's Opening Statement was done by Hank Brennan and considered better than in the previous trial done by Adam Lally. Brennan focused on Karen Read's statements, suggesting she was covering things up and knew where John O'Keefe was because she left him there. They played a video interview statement where Karen Read said John O'Keefe was not mortally wounded when she last saw him. The Defense's Opening Statements was conducted by Alan Jackson instead of David Yannetti who did it the first time. Jackson simplified their defense, asserting that John O'Keeffe was not hit by a car. They focused on the lack of proper investigation at 34 Fairview Rd and evidence that they believe will support their claim. The Defense brought up Former Trooper Michael Proctor, which the prosecution did not mention. The first witness was firefighter/paramedic Timothy Nuttall, whose testimony about when Karen Read said, "I hit him," was discussed, including discrepancies and potential memory issues. The second witness was Kerry Roberts, who was with Jen McCabe and Karen Read at 34 Fairview when John O'Keefe's body was found. Her testimony was stopped as she described Karen Reed running towards a mound of snow. At the end of the day, Judge Cannone held a hearing outside of the presence of the Jury regarding the Prosecution’s Motion to Compel ARCCA. The Judge determine that the Defense committed a Discovery Violation and scheduled Friday, April 25, 2025, to Voir Dire ARCCA witnesses. The Retrial is expected to last 6 to 8 weeks.

There's a motion from the Commonwealth to restrict the defense from claiming victim injuries were caused by an animal. The defense wants to show a picture of abrasions on the victim's arm in their opening statement. Diddy's request for a two-month continuance was denied so the trial will move forward as planned. The court denied Warner Brothers' motion to quash a subpoena for unaired footage of interviews. Memoir drafts from "Victim 1" must be turned over to Diddy. Victims 2, 3, and 4 can testify under pseudonyms. Attorney Brian Steele, known from the Young Thug RICO case, has joined Diddy's defense team. A hearing was held for the Menendez Brother’s Resentencing, but the District Attorney's office attempted to withdraw a motion for resentencing, which the judge denied. There's now a motion to recuse the DA's office, and the hearing is delayed until May 9th. There are also allegations that the prosecution violated Marsy's Law by showing graphic crime scene photos without warning the family. The Donna Adelson trial is set to begin with jury selection on June 3rd. Motions to recuse the judge were denied. Tom Girardi sentencing is delayed until May 8th as they determine whether he should be committed to a facility instead of prison.

Karen Read was back in court on April 16th, 2025 to resolve outstanding issues. Jury selection was completed on April 15th with 18 jurors. Opening Statements will begin on Tuesday, April 22nd after the Boston Marathon holiday weekend. The court most likely had planned for a four-day weekend, and lawyers preferred not to start opening statements before such a break. The court is also slightly ahead of schedule. Alan Jackson and Hank Brennan will be conducting Opening Statements. The Commonwealth plans to use Karen Read's media interviews against her. The Defense's strategy is to use Internal Affairs Investigations Against state troopers and Former Trooper Proctor. There are still outstanding disputes regarding ARCCA experts and discovery obligations. The Prosecution is arguing that the Defense has not provided sufficient discovery on ARCCA witnesses, while the Defense claims they were responding to late disclosures from the Prosecution. The Motion to Sequester Aidan Kearney was brought up to see whether he will be excluded from the media pool due to being on the Commonwealth's witness list and potential Fifth Amendment issues. It was decided that he would not be excluded from the courtroom except for specific witness testimonies. I'll be providing daily Case Briefs of each day in court.

Bryan Kohberger had a hearing on April 9th, 2025 to go over Motions in Limine. What was first thought to be a 2 day affair, was completed in 1 day because Judge Hippler runs a tight ship! The Defense and Prosecution were able to go over 25 Motions. Some were decided on the stand, others were taken under advisement. The most intense part of the hearing focused on a dispute over AT&T records. The Defense Attorney, Anne Taylor, made accusations about the Prosecution withholding evidence, leading to a strong rebuke from the judge. Judge Hipper reminded Anne Taylor that she is an "Officer of the Court" and that when he took on this case he doesn't want theatrics or accusations that aren't supported evidence about supposed bad conducts.

Bryan Kohberger will be back in court on April 9th & 10th, 2025 to discuss Motions in Limine and other filings. The State adds another Prosecutor to the team - Attorney Hurwit. An important limine is the AT&T Timing Advance Records. There's a dispute between the Prosecution and Defense regarding access to these records. The prosecution claims the records related to Kohberger timed out and no longer exist due to AT&T's policy of keeping them for only seven days. The defense questions this, suggesting that law enforcement may have seen these records and that the Prosecution might not be fully disclosing information. What's the truth about the 7-day retention policy? This could be a potential for a major issue if the Prosecution had the records and didn't disclose them, versus if AT&T simply stating the records no longer exist.

A federal lawsuit has been filed against Judge Canon and others, challenging the expanded buffer zone in the Karen Read Re-Trial. This video breaks down the lawsuit, which argues that the buffer zone infringes on First Amendment rights, acting as an unconstitutional prior restraint on speech. We visually examine the extent of the buffer zone around the courthouse and discuss the arguments presented in the lawsuit. The plaintiffs claim the buffer zone is not narrowly tailored to serve a valid government interest and specifically targets the Karen Read case. With jury selection underway and the trial expected to last 6-8 weeks, we explore whether the federal court will address these constitutional concerns on an expedited basis. Will the court rule on the buffer zone's constitutionality before the trial concludes? Stay tuned as we keep an eye on this developing legal battle, where First Amendment rights are being tested.

Judge Cannone denied Karen Read's motion to bring in an expert on police procedure to support their "Bowden Defense" (claiming law enforcement didn't properly investigate). The judge stated she hadn't seen this type of expert used in Massachusetts cases. The defense can still use the Bowden Defense, but through questioning witnesses. The court denied the defense's motion regarding a third-party culprit defense for Colin Albert but allowed it for Brian Albert and Brian Higgins. The judge expressed strong reservations about the Third-Party Culprit Defense, requiring more than "mere or rank speculation." I breakdown the threshold of evidence needed.

Karen Read had her final Pre-Trial Hearing on March 25th, 2025.

An extended 200-foot buffer zone around the courthouse was granted, similar to the previous trial. Audio enhancing devices and clothing with messages about which side of the case they are on are prohibited in that zone.

Trooper Michael Proctor has been fired by the Massachusetts State Police due to actions in the Karen Read investigation. While this is a workplace termination, not criminal charges, Proctor was found guilty of unsatisfactory performance and alcoholic beverages. Superintendent Noble stated this was due to maintaining public trust and accountability. Proctor has the right to appeal. This firing is significant because it happened before the trial, allowing the defense to question him about it and potentially challenge his credibility. The prosecution may also have to address the firing. The termination closes the internal affairs investigation, likely opening the door for this to be discussed during the trial and impacting how the jury views Proctor's testimony and the investigation's integrity. The prosecution's strategy in light of this firing is uncertain, but they may try to distance themselves from Proctor.

On March 18th, 2025, the Karen Read case was back in court, and things are heating up! Judge Cannone delivers a scathing rebuke to the defense, accusing them of "deliberate misrepresentations" and "flagrant violation" of Rule 14 regarding payments to the ARCCA Expert Witnesses. The judge has a conversation directly with Karen Read to see if she'd like to remove Alan Jackson as her representative, but she declined. The judge doesn't remove Alan Jackson from the defense team, decided not to exclude ARCCA Witness Testimony from the re-trial, and didn't financially sanction the defense team. Instead, she gave them a stern warning and remind them of their obligation of being candor to the court. The Defense and The Commonwealth's Appellate Attorney ask for the trial date of April 1st, 2025, be pushed back again. This time they didn't request a date due to Karen Read appeal to the First Circuit to try to get counts 1 and 3 dismissed. The judge has taken it under advisement and will reconvene Thursday, March 20th, 2025 to discuss further. The judge is concerned that it will be hard to find a jury due to an HBO documentary about the first trial currently being broadcasted so close to the Re-Trail date.

On March 5th, 2025, Karen Read had a Hearing for the Motions to Dismiss. The ongoing debate about the Sallyport videos: Are they exculpatory? Why were they not disclosed earlier? And where are the missing portions of the footage? Note from Canton Police Chief: "That is how it records, LOL. No Tampering." Getting an Evidentiary Hearing is the best outcome to clarify what happened to the videos and who was involved. This can lead to the case being dismissed or provide grounds for appeal. Judge Cannone has to determine if the videos are exculpatory. If not, an evidentiary hearing will likely not be granted. In the first trial, someone told Lieutenant Fanning that there were rumors that a juror was expressing opinions about the trial. The juror denied it but was removed anyways. The defense wants to know who told Fanning about the rumors and how they knew to contact him. Karen Read will be back in court on Tuesday, March 18th, 2025.

At Karen Read's March 4th Hearing, the courtroom was buzzing with activity, and several key issues were addressed. Brennan officially confirmed that there is no longer a federal investigation into the John O'Keefe death case or related matters. This announcement comes after the defense previously invoked a "Federal investigation," which has now been clarified as closed. The Judge questioned Alessi about the defense's disclosure of payments made to ARCCA experts. The court was not pleased that the payment records were not disclosed alongside the initial invoice. The defense clarified the timeline of when they learned of the payment and why it wasn't disclosed immediately. The Commonwealth filed a motion for sanctions against the defense for allegedly violating a protective order by including certain testimony and text messages in a motion for reconsideration. The defense acknowledged an error but did not file a formal correction with the court. The Commonwealth requested an unofficial "gag order" in the case, which the court is considering. The judge has taken up on advisement about where or not to do a Daubert Hearing on the Commonwealth's Expert Witnesses- James Crosby and Robert Gilman.

The Karen Read Hearing was unexpectedly halted due to concerns raised by the prosecution regarding new information about the defense's expert witnesses (the "crash daddies," also referred to as "ARCA experts"). The prosecution alleges that the defense did not fully disclose all communications and financial transactions with these experts, including potential payments and ongoing discussions after a previous court order regarding witness contact (a "voir dire"). The judge expressed "grave concern" about these implications and suspended the hearing to allow the defense time to prepare a response and for the court to further investigate the matter. The hearing is set to resume on February 25th. The defense's motion to dismiss the case was not addressed in this hearing because it is due February 21st.

The “It Ends With Us” lawsuits have a court date of March 9th, 2026. The attorneys faced off in Court on February 3rd, 2025, arguing who started the smear campaign and the judge promptly told them to knock it off. The Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni Federal lawsuits against each other have been consolidated and many issues were addressed. The Joneswork PR vs Baldoni lawsuit was filed on January 27th, 2025, and is a related lawsuit to the consolidated cases. The NY Times hasn’t been served yet and Lively’s attorneys argued that the case may need to be unconsolidated after just being recently consolidated due to The NY Times being a defendant. Lively intends to file a Protective Order on Discovery which is normal for high profile cases. Diddy received a Superseding Indictment which added additional victims to the racketeering conspiracy charges. Shortly after Karen Read’s Hearing on January 31st, 2025, Judge Cannone made a ruling not to do a Daubert Hearing on the defense digital forensics expert, Mr. Green. She had also narrowed a prior ruling regarding journalist Gretchen Voss’ notes allowing most of it to remain private. Sarah Boone wrote a letter to the courts because she said that a Notice to Appeal was not filed on her case. The Court wrote back to her informing who her Appellate Attorney is. According to the Sarah Boone’s Online Docket, it says that the Notice of Appeal was filed on December 18th, 2024 but received by the Clerk on January 31st, 2025.

Kouri Richins, accused of killing her husband with a poisoned Moscow Mule, is back in court on January 23rd, 2025. The defense has filed motions to suppress key evidence, including electronic data, statements made by Kouri, and the infamous "Walk The Dog Letter." The defense argues that this letter is inadmissible because it was obtained illegally. The judge has not yet ruled on the motions to suppress. The trial is set to begin in at the end of April. Surprisingly, Prosecutor Attorney Bloodworth, said that every Law Nerd on the internet calls Docket 214, the "Walk The Dog Letter." Indeed we do.

The prosecution has asked for a hearing to determine whether or not Mr. Green, Karen Read's digital forensic expert, can testify. The defense argued that all forensic experts use the same methodology—they take the digital extraction, run it through different tools, and interpret the information. The defense also argued that the prosecution's efforts to prevent the expert from testifying are "dystopian" and "Orwellian." The defense asked the court to deny the motion and not have a Daubert Hearing. The prosecution's police expert, Trooper Guarino, ran Jen McCabe's phone through two different analyzer programs and one program indicated that the Google search was there, and that was not turned over to the defense in the initial report. It'll be interesting to see what happens Friday's hearing and we'll be paying attention to how many times Mr. Alessi says "Orwellian" and if the court brings up the ACCRA experts and the discovery issue.

In the ‘It Ends With Us’ Lawsuit Saga, the attorneys are accusing each other of making statements that could prejudice a future jury, and are a breadth away from asking for sanctions. In the Karen Reed case, the defense filed a new motion regarding the waste of their experts' time and shared some new information about what the prosecution hasn’t turned over. Keefe D's Las Vegas prosecution for the murder of Tupac Shakur is moving forward despite his argument that a past immunity offer protects him from prosecution. The court indicated in its ruling that there is no proof of an immunity agreement; we will see if it gets appealed. Kouri Richins was back in court arguing her pre-trial evidence motions similar to Bryan Kohberger. Finally, Bryan Kohberger was in court for two days, covering multiple hearings, and the judge will be ruling on those in the near future.

The Bryan Kohberger case held hearings on January 23rd and 24th, 2025. The first part of the hearing was sealed, and the rest were public. The defense argued motions to suppress evidence, including what was gathered from Kohberger's apartment, Amazon account, Apple accounts, cell phone data, and vehicle. The defense also requested a Franks Hearing to determine if there were misstatements or omissions in the affidavits that led to the search warrants. The court indicated that it was not persuaded that the Investigative Genetic Genealogy (IGG) DNA evidence would be suppressed and questioned Kohberger's right to privacy in DNA databases that he had not submitted his DNA to. The court also questioned whether DNA on a knife sheath that tracked back to the defendant was enough for a judge or magistrate to find probable cause for search warrant affidavits. The court warned the state that its expert disclosure work was not done and needed to be supplemented. The judge has been thoughtful in their rulings and has taken charge of the trial, toning down the courtroom theatrics.

On Friday, January 17th, 2025, the US Supreme Court upheld as constitutional the law that would effectively ban TikTok if it doesn’t divest from Byte Dance, who operates the app before January 19th. That leads to the app ‘going dark’ on Saturday, January 18th, due to the law, and then surprising users by reinstating some service on January 19th. The Bill allows for a one-time 90-day extension to the Bill's implementation with some very specific carve outs. Let’s take a look at what those are. On Thursday, January 16th, the latest in the saga of litigation stemming from the set of ‘It Ends With Us’ was filed in Federal Court in New York. This suit, which attorney Bryan Freedman had been stating would be filed, sues Blake Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and their PR representative Leslie Sloan and Sloan’s company. The suit alleges essentially the opposite of Lively’s previously filed suit, that it was Lively who contrived a media smear campaign against Baldoni and her complaints of harassment on set was fabricated to use as leverage to ‘take over’ the movie and wrest control from Baldoni as director and Wayfarer as the studio. Both Lively’s suit and Baldoni’s suit now have the same Southern District of New York Judge, and the first date is set in the Baldoni suit. Lively and Reynolds waived service, so their answers are due on March 2nd, 2025.

In February 2022, I went over these documents with the Law Nerds before the Court sealed all of the filings and any future activity. Wells Fargo froze Wendy Williams’ accounts and was seeking a guardianship over her finances. Williams filed an emergency petition for a preliminary injunction and temporary restraining order to regain access to her accounts. Wells Fargo claimed it froze Williams’ accounts due to concerns about undue influence and financial exploitation, citing advisement from Williams’ former financial advisor and other unnamed third parties. The court ordered Wells Fargo to show cause why an order should not be entered to unfreeze Williams’ accounts. Wells Fargo filed a guardianship petition and requested that the records be sealed to protect Williams’ privacy. The court granted Wells Fargo’s request to seal the records.

Diddy's lawyers filed a document that was later stricken from the docket and resubmitted in a more redacted version due to it containing information that characterized things watched on videos that are subject to a protective order. The government and the victim were displeased with the original filing. The defense argues that they complied with the court's order by filing a more redacted version but believe it's unfair and will result in an unfairly polluted jury pool. They also argue that their characterization of the evidence was appropriate and should not be sealed. The defense's argument that the protective order is too broad is disagreed with, as the protective order is already in place and they should wait for it to change before filing things not under seal. A hearing will likely be held in February to determine if the protective order will be modified, including whether the defense will have digital and physical access to the videos in question. The trial is still expected to be in May, but dealing with digital experts is not a swift process, so it may be delayed.

They argue that the videos will show that the relationship was consensual and that the government's case is sexist. The defense also claims that the government is "kink shaming" Diddy and that the victim was consenting. The government has offered to have a neutral expert enhance the videos, but the defense has refused.

The outcome could impact the retrial, as Proctor's handling of evidence is crucial. The Commonwealth may exclude the accident reconstruction biomechanical engineers from ARKA, who testified that John O'Keefe's injuries weren't consistent with a vehicle collision. Dr. Russell's testimony that O'Keefe's arm injuries were more consistent with a dog bite than a car accident will be allowed, but the court noted she didn't compare the dog's dentition to the injuries. The prosecution has obtained molds of the dog's teeth and measurements of its paws and claws.

The Supreme Court heard arguments to uphold the Protecting Americans From Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act or strike it down. Elizabeth Prelogar, US Solicitor General, argued that TikTok poses a national security threat and that the ban is necessary to protect American data. Noel Francisco represented TikTok and argued that the ban is unconstitutional and violates the First Amendment rights of its users. Jeffrey L Fisher, TikTok Creators Representative, also made similar arguments. TikTok argued that its algorithm is an editorial decision and that it is a publisher, not just a host of user-generated content. Could this admission remove Section 230 protection from TikTok? This raises questions about the role of social media platforms in moderating content and the extent to which they can be held liable for the actions of their users. The outcome of the case could have major implications for the future of TikTok and other social media platforms.

Alec Baldwin is suing Kari Morrissey and others involved in the Rust case. The lawsuit stems from Baldwin claiming he was wrongly prosecuted for the accidental shooting death of Helena Hutchins on the set of Rust. The case was dismissed due to prosecutorial misconduct. Baldwin is suing for violation of his civil rights, conspiracy, malicious abuse of process, defamation and other causes of action. Attorney Alex Spiro represents both Baldwin and Jay-Z. The judge in the Jay-Z case has had enough of his antics, who has asked him to tone down his inflammatory language, ad hominem attacks and filing copious amounts of litigation to seemingly drown the other side. The "It Ends With Us" lawsuits are a trilogy of litigation. The lawsuits are centered around allegations of harassment, retaliation, and breach of contract. Stephanie Jones and her company, Jonesworks, are suing Justin Baldoni, Wayfarer, Jennifer Abel, Melissa Nathan, and up to 10 John Does for secretly coordinating a media smear campaign against Baldoni's film co-star, Blake Lively, and then used the crisis as an opportunity to drive a wedge between Jones and Baldoni, and to publicly pin blame for this smear campaign on Jones - when Jones had no knowledge or involvement in it. Justin Baldoni sued The New York Times for an article published on December 21st, 2024 covering a complaint filed by Blake Lively with the California Civil Rights Department. He alleges the Times failed to properly investigate these claims before publishing its article and it is defamatory, constitutes false light, invasion of privacy, promissory fraud, and breach of implied-in-fact contract. Blake Lively filed a lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, Jamey Heath, Wayfarer, Jennifer Abel, Melissa Nathan in New York alleging the same things filed in the California Complaint. We’re not sure why this wasn’t filed in California but think this has to be a strategic advantage.

Blake Lively filed a complaint against Justin Baldoni, his studio Wayfarer, and others, alleging sexual harassment and retaliation. The Complaint was filed with the California Civil Rights Department, which is a necessary step before a lawsuit can be filed in the superior court. Blake Lively alleges that Baldoni and his associates hired a crisis PR team to embark on a reputationally damaging social media campaign to protect Bladoni’s reputation from allegations of harassment on set during the filming of ‘It Ends With Us.’ Through his legal team, Baldoni gave a statement to the New York Times stating, “[t]hese claims are completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt and rehash a narrative in the media.” Is this about reputation, is it about retaliation, or is there more to come?

Kouri Richins had a surprise ruling in her case. The Presiding Judge Denied Request for In-person Voir Dire and Jury Selection even thought the Trial Judge allowed the motion. Her defense will most likely appeal, but will this be rectified by the time it goes to trial in May 2025? Unsealed Search Warrant also revealed that Kouri Richins asked her handy man for fentanyl. The handyman turned over his phone but tragically died in a motorcycle accident in September of 2024. Will the prosecutors be able to bring the text message evidence into trial? We'll find out in the future.

Many defendants pled out in the YSL RICO Case. Only 2 defendants remained - Deamonte Kendrick (aka Yak Gotti) and Shannon Stillwell. Kendrick was found not guilty on all the counts against him, and Stillwell was found guilty only on one count: Possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Stillwell was sentenced in court to 10 years, only two to serve in jail, and he was credited with time already served and the rest is probation. I'm sure Jeffery Williams aka Young Thug's attorney is kicking himself right now, but it was his defendant's choice to plead open to the court and that needed to be accepted.

On Tuesday, November 19th, Diddy had a hearing to go over his concerns with an MDC raid that happened in his cell looking for contraband. The Defense argues that his attorney-client-privileges were trampled on because during the raid some of his legal pads were confiscated and it had the word LEGAL written on them clearly identifying that it shouldn't have been reviewed. The court reviewed the images of the legal pad from the raid and that identification was not visible. There is now a bail hearing on Friday, November 22nd, and the court says that the defense better be prepared to provide context for why that label was not there.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Richins pled not guilty and her trial is scheduled for May of 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The defense argues that the grand jury indictment should be dismissed due to prosecutorial bad faith and that there were structural errors in the grand jury indictment. The judge asked pointed questions to the prosecution about their conduct. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Church of Scientology has additionally filed an anti-SLAPP motion claiming their reciprocal right to speech is based on public interest.
