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 including many exhibits proving Fiona Harvey sent Richard Gadd harassing emails, text messages, voice mails, and also accusations of stalking a Member of Parliaments' 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 made a ruling by denying the Anti-SLAPP and dismissed some of the causes of action from Fiona’s case; only leaving the Defamation and Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress. The line in the Netflix show that said, “this is a true story” was false and can imply malice because it can lead the viewer to believe that all of the things that happened in the series were true when that is not the case. It is likely that the case will go to mediation and settle out of court.

Netflix is being sued for defamation by John Wilson for the documentary: Operation Varsity Blues - The College Admissions Scandal. John Wilson had almost all of his convictions overturned on appeal and that was not included in the documentary. Netflix lost the motion to dismiss and will be moving forward with discovery.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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