Alex Murdaugh takes responsibility for the first time by pleading guilty to 22 federal fraud counts related to his theft from clients. Kouri Richins has written a letter found in her cell by law enforcement titled 'Walk The Dog'. Prosecutors are alleging she was attempting to tamper with witnesses by relaying the story she wanted them to tell to her lawyer. Kouri Richins, in a recorded jail call to her mother, stated that the letter contained excerpts from the story she is writing. The Thouy family responded in a court filing to the allegations made by Michael Oher, vehemently denying the allegations made.

Lawsuits aren't slowing down. Leah Remini sued Scientology in a very big way, and they responded in kind, calling her a horrible person who is against the First Amendment.

The Lizzo lawsuit may have dominated the news cycle, but a lot happened last week. First, this Lizzo employment lawsuit is bananas. The allegations strike at the heart of Lizzos brand and though she responded to the allegations, it wasn't a specific denial of most of them. I would be surprised if this suit doesn't end up in arbitration. Mr. Beast sued Mr. Beast Burger after complaining that the company he was working with for the ghost kitchens was holding him into a contract even though he argued they weren't upholding their obligations. Specifically citing terrible quality control and including too many pictures of undercooked and raw food to prove it. Kohberger turned over his ‘alibi' defense to the prosecution according to the laws in Idaho, and the prosecution filed a motion to compel because what Kohberger's team turned over was not an ‘alibi' defense. At the end of the week, the Defense opposed the motion, indicating that Kohberger was out driving alone, as was his habit. So basically, his alibi is ‘it wasn't me'. Finally, I talked with Mandy Matney about the future of reporting, what drove her coverage of the Murdaugh story, and what is next.

Bryan Kohberger's attorneys file their notice of alibi, and it didn't contain much. There is a lot of litigation in the Idaho Defamation case, and I broke down the last court hearing, it seems that the Judge will be granting the Plaintiff's motions against the TikToker's counterclaims. Carlee Russell's lawyer admits that her abduction was a hoax, and she was charged and then arrested later in the week. The Schabusiness trial started with evidence on Monday; the jury reached Guilty Verdicts on all counts on Wednesday afternoon. The NGI Trial took place on Thursday, and the jury found Taylor Schabusiness culpable late in the day Thursday. It was a busy week in court in Wisconsin, and my coverage of the trial is live on my long-form channel.Connect With Me.Get the Members Only ‘I Have Thoughts Podcast https://www.LawNerdsUnite.comJoin the Text Crew https://www.TextEmily.ComLooking for my YouTube videos? https//www.WatchEmily.comWant to connect with Emily More? https://www.Instagram.com/theemilydbaker I share things on Twitter too! https://www.twitter.com/theemilydbaker

The 1122 King Road House is now the property of the University of Idaho, and they announced it would be demolished before students return for the Fall 2023 semester.

Finally, the civil case between Gloria Satterfield's sons and Alex Murdaugh has heated up their attorney's ask for sanctions against Alex Murdaugh's attorneys, Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin.

It was a busy week. Let's get into it quickly. First, there are a bunch of updates on the Idaho King Road murders. Defendant Bryan Kohberger has subpoenaed surviving roommate BF for the June Preliminary hearing. However, the subpoena was quashed after a stipulation was filed that BF would sit for an interview with the defense. The Idaho Supreme Court of Idaho threw out the writs regarding the non-dissemination order allowing media outlets to pursue a remedy with the lower court. In the TikTok defamation suit, the court granted the ProPer defendant TikToker's motion to set aside the default, with a warning to follow all deadlines and procedures.The prosecution dropped Alec Baldwin's criminal charges related to the Rust shooting.

The Gwyneth Paltrow Ski Crash Trial has concluded, and the jury found in Paltrow's favor determining that plaintiff Terry Sanderson was 100% at fault for this collision and awarding Paltrow one dollar in damages.

In this week's Quick Bits I cover the Paltrow Ski Crash Trial that started on Tuesday and has been ongoing for the rest of the week. The trial is about a collision that occurred while Gwyneth Paltrow was skiing that allegedly caused injuries to another skier named Terry Sanderson. The parties must establish whether Paltrow caused the collision and whether Sanderson suffered damages. The jury has to decide whether Paltrow is liable for Sanderson's injuries and, if so, what damages should be awarded. During opening statements, the plaintiff's attorney argued that Paltrow hit Sanderson from behind and caused him injuries, while the defense attorney argued that Sanderson caused the collision by skiing into Paltrow. The first witnesses included Sanderson's ski buddy and the woman he was dating during the accident. Several of Sanderson's doctors testified that he has post-concussive syndrome that will continue to impact him and that Paltrow caused his injuries. Sanderson's family members also testified that he has changed since the accident. Paltrow herself testified that Sanderson skied between her skis, his body was against her back, and they fell to the side, causing her to fall on him.Coverage Links!

First, I cover the lawsuit against the My Poops commercial and its alleged copyright infringement of the Black Eyed Peas song, My Humps. Next, the Tom Girardi bar scandal, where the State Bar released two redacted reports detailing Girardi's use of money and power to influence the bar's investigations into his conduct. This included hiring family members of those who worked at the bar and giving a Girardi Keese AMEX to a State Bar employee. Finally, there are a lot of updates in the Idaho case involving Kohlbergers and the non-discrimination order. Recently unsealed search warrants from Pennsylvania showed that items were taken from the White Elantra and Kohlbergers' parents' residence, including electronics, clothing, and a shop vac. A memo from a January 13, 2023 zoom meeting between the prosecutor, defense attorney, a redacted party, and the attorney for the Goncalves family revealed snappy exchanges between the Goncalves family attorney and the court regarding the non-discrimination order. Additionally, a writ was filed on February 6, 2023, with the Idaho Supreme Court seeking to have the non-dissemination order thrown out, arguing that it is not the least restrictive means to protect Kohlbergers' right to a fair trial. Kohlbergers and the prosecution are both opposing the writ, with Kohlbergers arguing that it's necessary to protect his rights to a fair trial.Connect With Me.Get the Members Only ‘I Have Thoughts Podcast https://www.LawNerdsUnite.comJoin the Text Crew https://www.TextEmily.ComLooking for my YouTube videos? https//www.WatchEmily.comWant to connect with Emily More? https://www.Instagram.com/theemilydbaker I share things on Twitter too! https://www.twitter.com/theemilydbaker

Opening statements are given by the prosecution and defense. The prosecution presents evidence linking the defendant, Alec, to the murders of his wife and child and claims that Alec gave multiple inconsistent statements.

On Day 4, testimony from first responding officers, a K9 handler, and 911 operators is presented, including unredacted 911 calls that had not been publicly available before.Connect With Me.Get the Members Only ‘I Have Thoughts Podcast https://www.LawNerdsUnite.comJoin the Text Crew https://www.TextEmily.ComLooking for my YouTube videos? https//www.WatchEmily.comWant to connect with Emily More? https://www.Instagram.com/theemilydbaker I share things on Twitter too! https://www.twitter.com/theemilydbaker
