On March 6, 2024, Hannah Gutierrez, the armorer on the set of Rust, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter. She is set to be sentenced on April 15, 2024, and faces a maximum of 18 months in prison. She is currently in custody pending sentencing, though her lawyer recently filed a motion for a New Trial and release from custody. Her trial was a preview of what witnesses and lawyering we can expect from the prosecution in Alec Baldwin's trial this summer. Connect With Me. Get the App! Looking for my YouTube videos?

I break down the Kouri Richins infamous “Walk The Dog” letter found in her jail cell. She claims this letter was part of a fictional book she was working on. The prosecution disagreed with that sentiment and requested sanctions be placed on Richins. On Monday, Kouri Richins wrote a statement claiming her eagerness to proceed with the trial and prove her innocence. Eric Richins's estate put out a statement saying that they are confident in the judicial system and there will be enough evidence for a jury to convict her. We still have a long way to go before a trial can be set. First, Kouri needs a new defense attorney, then the preliminary hearing needs to happen.  Resources YouTube Live Stream: https://youtube.com/live/9vmnAHDbBJ0

A demurrer was granted with the 4th cause of action for the IIED and Rachel Leviss has 20 days to amend the complaint. A decision hasn’t been made with Ariana Madix’s Anti-SLAPP. I also break down why the judge denied Alec Baldwin’s dismissal. A trial date has yet to be set.  Lastly, I recap week 4 of the Karen Read trial.

Alec Baldwin had a hearing on May 17th, 2024 that lasted over 2 hours! 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.

The Los Angeles Police Department said it was aware of the video but was unable to charge Diddy due to the statute of limitations. 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. I also summarize week 3 of the Karen Read trial as more civilian witnesses take the stand. We finished Friday with the direct examination of Jen McCabe and expect that cross-examination will be spicy on Tuesday.

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.
