Bryan Kohberger's defense asked Judge Steven Hippler to postpone the scheduled August 2025 trial, arguing that the extraordinary size and complexity of the case had left his attorneys without enough time to adequately prepare. The defense pointed to the enormous volume of discovery still being reviewed, continuing changes and additions to the prosecution's expert disclosures, unfinished investigation related to the potential penalty phase, and difficulties completing witness interviews and preparing rebuttal evidence. His lawyers also argued that the intense publicity surrounding the case, including new reporting and media productions appearing shortly before trial, threatened to further contaminate the jury pool. In a death-penalty prosecution, the defense maintained that forcing the case forward simply to preserve the existing calendar risked sacrificing Kohberger's constitutional rights for the sake of speed. They argued that a modest delay was far less consequential than proceeding with attorneys who believed they had not completed critical work necessary to defend both the guilt and penalty phases of the case.The State of Idaho opposed the continuance and argued that Kohberger had not demonstrated good cause or shown that proceeding on schedule would actually prejudice his defense. Prosecutors emphasized that Kohberger had been in custody since December 2022, his attorneys had possessed substantial portions of the evidence for a lengthy period, and the defense had already received considerable time and accommodations to prepare. The state also invoked the interests of the victims' families and the public in bringing the case to trial without another major delay. Hippler ultimately agreed with prosecutors, ruling on June 26, 2025 that the defense had failed to establish either good cause for postponement or a threat to Kohberger's substantial rights sufficient to justify moving the trial. He also rejected the argument that delaying proceedings would necessarily solve the publicity problem, reasoning that additional time could simply expose prospective jurors to even more reporting and speculation. The trial therefore remained on essentially the same schedule, with jury selection set to begin August 4 and opening statements anticipated for August 18.to contact me:bobbyapucci@protonmail.com

The main event is Kash Patel's defamation suit against The Atlantic and reporter Sarah Fitzpatrick. Joyce Vance laid out on her Substack why it goes badly for him regardless of outcome. Dismissal ends it. Survival opens discovery, and Patel filed, which means he answers document requests, interrogatories, and requests for admission, then sits for a deposition, along with however many FBI personnel The Atlantic wants. Fitzpatrick reported the story with 24 sources across the Bureau and the executive branch. Those incidents would generate records. The Atlantic has already asked the FBI and DOJ for documents and communications, and Patel's own defense depends on them. Judge Emmet Sullivan has the motion to dismiss. It is Patel's fifth suit against the media.

Expanded "unfair dismissal" protections that could significantly increase potential liability for multinational employers with operations in the United Kingdom are coming. In this We Get Work episode, Jackson Lewis Principal John Sander and Rob Hill, head of employment at Clyde & Co London, discuss how organizations can strengthen recruitment, performance and related practices to prepare for upcoming UK employment law reforms. 

Send us Fan MailGreg Joseph, the attorney for Derek Chauvin, spoke with Liz Collin about alleged violations of Minnesota state law by Gov. Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, the Hennepin County Attorney, and the court.Joseph argued that along with violating rights to due process, the charges Chauvin faced were "unsupported by probable cause." Joseph also said that Walz's reassignment of the case to Ellison was "unlawful" —and the failure of the Hennepin County District Court to convene a grand jury violated state and federal rules and laws. The petition further argues that these "errors" require "automatic dismissal" of the case against Chauvin for his involvement in the death of George Floyd.Support the show

The first ticket on Mary and Andrew's agenda: the latest on Todd Blanche's confirmation. After prodding from two Republican Senators, Blanche released a Sunday night statement allegedly rescinding the $1.776 “Anti-Weaponization Fund” to pacify their concerns. And by all measures, it worked. But in Andrew's estimation, the statement was “the world's smallest fig leaf,” with both hosts noting that the “settlement agreement” can only be changed in writing if signed by both parties. Mary calls it “basically a press statement” rather than a legal order. Then, they turn to former FBI Director James Comey's filing of multiple motions to dismiss his “Seashell” indictment, including one on the grounds of vindictive and selective prosecution. They detail court filings that show an array of issues with the case, including surveillance of him and his wife by the Secret Service. Next, Andrew and Mary detail why Jeanine Pirro's Reflecting Pool case against Olympian David Hearn fell apart, after a disastrous rush to charge before the facts were in. And last up: Trump asks the Supreme Court to hear an appeal over E. Jean Caroll's $83.3 million defamation verdict.

John Mitch Mitchell joins Tim Kowal to unpack Maniago v. Desert Cardiology Consultants' Medical Group, a July 2026 California Supreme Court decision that shuts down a procedural shortcut California litigators have been relying on for years. Mitchell, who represented the plaintiffs on appeal, offers a candid, behind-the-scenes look at how a carefully planned litigation strategy turned into a cautionary tale.The story starts with a surgical technologist who was exposed to HIV during a cardiac procedure and sued on several different theories. After the trial court sustained a demurrer on most of the claims, Mitchell dismissed the remaining claims with prejudice and filed a declaration explaining that he was doing so only to fast‑track an appeal. Even though this followed what had been the majority approach in the case law, both the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court threw out the appeal for lack of jurisdiction, unanimously holding that a voluntary dismissal waives the right to appeal when the trial court has not yet finally resolved any claim.In doing so, the Supreme Court disapproved Stewart v. Colonial Western Agency and other decisions that had blessed this workaround, leaving practitioners with a tough choice. They can either follow the Court's new three-step procedure and permanently give up any remaining viable claims, or litigate straight through to final judgment before they can challenge a damaging interlocutory ruling on appeal.In this episode, we discuss:Why voluntary dismissal no longer creates an appealable order after an adverse demurrer rulingThe three-step procedure the Supreme Court says litigants must follow insteadThe practical and economic consequences for plaintiffs facing case-altering interlocutory ordersThe line of authority the court disapproved and what still survivesHave you tried the voluntary‑dismissal workaround in your own cases? Maniago may hit close to home.

A nurse who worked at a disability support facility in Sakai, Osaka Prefecture, filed a lawsuit claiming it was unlawful for the facility to dismiss them after they made a public-interest whistleblower report about problems at the facility. The Sakai branch of the Osaka District Court ruled that the dismissal was invalid, finding that it was intended to remove the nurse from the workplace, and ordered the facility to pay unpaid wages and damages. The court ordered the facility to pay the three plaintiffs a total of more than ¥20 million in unpaid wages, damages, and other compensation.

Colt Gray will spend the rest of his life in prison without parole for the deadly 2024 shooting at Apalachee High School that killed two students and two teachers. Judge Nicholas Primm ruled that Gray's actions were deliberate, calculated, and motivated by a desire for infamy, making him one of the youngest school shooters in the U.S. to receive a life-without-parole sentence. Former FBI Director James Comey is asking a federal judge to dismiss the criminal indictment against him stemming from a 2025 Instagram post that showed seashells arranged to form the numbers“86 47.” Federal prosecutors argue the post constituted a threat against President Donald Trump, the 47th president.

Mary and Andrew begin this week by addressing the Department of Justice dropping the subpoenas they ordered against New York Times journalists who reported on security concerns regarding President Trump's new Qatari-government-gifted Air Force One jet, noting that the attempt to subpoena the writers speaks to a failed effort of “chilling and intimidating” other reporters. But still, there were even more subpoenas: last week, the DOJ filed subpoenas for 14 major law firms as part of an ongoing lawsuit between the American Bar Association (ABA) and the Executive Office of the President, which Mary and Andrew believe is an effort by the government to try and “get the law firms to pressure the ABA to drop this lawsuit.” They also touch on an update to journalist Katie Phang's lawsuit against the federal government over Epstein files redactions and address Jack Smith's criminal referral by House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan. Plus, two immigration-related cases: a judge's decision to throw out a DOJ lawsuit challenging Minnesota immigration laws and an appeal court's decision to reverse a lower court decision releasing Pro-Palestinian activist Mohsen Mahdawi.

Melik Kaylan and Gordon Chang. Melik Kaylan suggests Putin is increasingly isolated, facing potential threats from his own Praetorian guards as domestic desperation grows. However, the dismissal of Ukraine's popular defense minister, Mykhailo Fedorov, may have inadvertently delayed Putin's demise. Fedorov, credited with turning the tide of war through digital innovation and anti-corruption audits, was sacked following infighting with "Old Guard" military leadership, sparking protests in Kyiv. (4)1916 YEMEN

John Hardie. President Zelensky's dismissal of Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov has sparked wartime protests and unease among Western partners. Fedorov was a key driver of drone innovation and anti-corruption reforms in procurement. His firing is attributed to clashes with Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi, whom protesters characterize as an unpopular "Soviet-style butcher." There are indications Zelensky may reverse course by reinstating Fedorov and potentially firing Syrskyi. (13)1993

Last week, all eyes were on Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's confirmation hearing to lead the Justice Department. Mary and Andrew begin with their takeaways: from Blanche's “evasive, hyper-technical non-responses” to why his close relationship with Donald Trump is problematic, noting a moment where Blanche referred to himself as “his lawyer” and then quickly corrected himself — which Mary called a Freudian slip. They then turn to Trump's Thursday night address, where he claimed that U.S. elections have been compromised for years. Separating fact from fiction, the co-hosts look at how Trump's undermining of public confidence may affect the upcoming midterms. Mary and Andrew also highlight reporting from the New York Times indicating a slew of cases brought by ICE against protesters and immigrants are failing the sniff test in court. Plus, an update on former Columbia graduate student Mahmoud Khalil, who recently filed a lawsuit alleging the government and others were part of an effort to suppress criticism of Israel from pro-Palestinian demonstrators.

In this edition, we look at rare wartime demonstrations in Ukraine protesting the ousting of Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov. After six months on the job, he has been credited with making a difference both on the battlefield and in an anti-corruption drive. However, he had reportedly clashed with Ukraine's commander-in-chief, Oleksandr Syrskyi, over how the war should be waged.

There is outrage in Ukraine over President Volodymyr Zelensky's dismissal of the defence minister, who had only been in his post for six months. BBC Monitoring's chief analyst Vitaly Shevchenko spoke to John Campbell.

With Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's confirmation hearing set to begin midweek, Andrew and Mary use this episode to look at the totality of his tenure at the Justice Department, detailing example after example of how — despite his role as the chief lawyer for the United States — he is still functioning as the de facto personal lawyer for the president. They start things off by dissecting a deeply consequential and searing opinion from District Judge Kathleen Williams over Trump's IRS lawsuit, effectively finding, in Mary's telling, that it “was collusion. It was the president being on both sides of that case, and it's no adversity between the parties.” Then, the co-hosts take a broader gaze into what Blanche has done: his handling of the Epstein files and Ghislaine Maxwell, the ongoing investigations and attempted prosecutions of Trump's political enemies and how he has used the DOJ as the president's personal law firm. Mary and Andrew also review the Justice Department's recent actions with Blanche at the helm, including an example from the past week of the ongoing “assault on journalists”: subpoenaing New York Times journalists who wrote about the jet gifted to the US by the Qatari government.

One Utah school district is now asking a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit against them over claims that they allowed racial bullying and harassment by another student. The Iron County School District says they can't find enough proof the incident happened, so they want the lawsuit dismissed. They also say they aren't responsible for harm caused to a student by another. Greg and Holly are on very different sides of this issue; they share their stances.

Popok reports that for the second time, Acting AG Todd Blanche's own public statements may lead to the dismissal of a criminal indictment against a Trump-perceived enemy, the US's leading “anti-hate” investigative group, the Southern Poverty Law Center. Popok brings the receipts to show that this week's dismissal of Kilmar Abrego Garcia's indictment by a federal judge has surely opened the floodgates to vindictive prosecution motions being filed by ALL those targeted by Trump, including Former FBI Dir.

In this podcast, Kathryn Bird (Toronto), Erin Schachter (Montréal), and Shir Fulga (Toronto) examine the Ontario Divisional Court's 2025 decision in Bokhari v. Top Medical Transport Center Services, which reviewed the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario's preliminary dismissal of a disability discrimination claim. The discussion focuses on the tribunal's use of a “balance of probabilities” standard at the screening stage, the court's rejection of that approach in favor of the traditional “plain and obvious” test, and the risks of engaging in a merits analysis too early. The speakers also explore why the decision matters for both applicants and employers, particularly given increasing preliminary dismissals, tribunal backlogs, and the potential for unexpected judicial review proceedings.

YES THIS IS THE CORRECT PODCAST! Don't be confused - this podcast was first named "Grace in Progress," so that's what you will hear in this throwback episode!! I am traveling this week, so I thought I would share the MOST downloaded episode of all time...about a term I call "spiritual dismissal." This resonated with listeners over 100 episodes ago, and I thought it might still resonate this week! Here is the original episode description:"Let Go and Let God"..."Too Blessed to be Stressed"...wait, what? When you share your emotions/thoughts with someone and you are met with avoidance by means of a Christian cliche or misused scripture, you may have experienced "Spiritual Dismissal," which is what this episode is all about. Listen to some real-life examples, the negative effects of invalidated emotions, and how to view these responses a little differently.
