Welcome! This is a casual place to keep up with trials and court cases in real time. Trial watches, appeals, motions, deep dives, and the occasional “wait… what?” story.
We look at cases with two pulses here -
1) What do you think happened?
2) Did the prosecution (or plaintiff) actually meet their burden to prove their case?
Those answers don’t always match, and the Chatt always weighs in with something insightful and fresh.
I have fun along the way, but I'm passionate about covering serious issues, too. Wrongful convictions bother me. So do prosecutions that fall apart because police or prosecutors colored outside the lines trying to win. Also: I’m not a lawyer. I just love learning the law, watching a good argument… and honestly, sometimes I really enjoy the bad arguments, too.
Most of the magic is in the livestreams, because the Chatt is the bee's knees.
If you like this kind of coverage, subscribe and turn on notifications - Hope to see you in the Chatt! :)

ANTONIO BROWN UPDATE: Matter reset for October 28th.
A change-of-plea was calendared for today. However, Judge Tinkler Mendez said she hasn't had sufficient time to review the materials, as she's busy with a capital case right now.
She mentions that the only litigation she's had to date has been things like requests to travel, status hearings, and that the parties have been taking depositions.
She's not ready to move forward with a change of plea hearing today.
So, matter is reset for October 28th.

ANOTHER UPDATE: RASHAUN JONES - NEW MOTION TO DISQUALIFY AFTER MORE PLEA DEAL PRESSURE: Prya Murad has filed a motion to disqualify Judge Cristina Miranda in Jones' companion case, which relates to charges filed on July 9, 2026 for an alleged incident at the Miami-Dade jail on March 27, 2024.
Murad took this case pro-bono.
"At the September 8, 2026 hearing in Case No. F21-14479, the court expressly linked trying Case No. F26-12372 to changing Mr. Jones's position in the murder case, after being told that the attorneys present did not represent him here. His attorney in this case had no notice that it would be discussed, was absent, and had authorized no substitute. The matters discussed were substantive, not administrative, as the court discussed not only the possibility of trial but the way in which this matter may assist in resolving Case No. F21-14479. The court's September 8th comments show the court has failed to presume Mr. Jones innocent and (1) believes Mr. Jones will be found guilty in this matter and (2) believes Mr. Jones should plead guilty in Case No. F21-14479, a case in which he has fervently maintained his innocence."
"Mr Jones understood the September 8 statement, in light of the earlier resolution discussions, to imply that the court anticipated a conviction in Case No. F26-12372 that would make him more willing to negotiate or resolve Case No. F21-14479."

📢FACDL-Miami wants to submit an amicus brief in support of Rashaun Jones' pending petition for writ of prohibition related to the disqualification of Judge Cristina Miranda.
(FACDL = Florida Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys)
From page 3 - FACDL-Miami submits that the transcripts reveal that:
1) the trial judge in this case immediately treated the defense investigating potentially exculpatory evidence as facially suspicious;
2) the trial judge invoked the potential of negative professional or personal consequences to trial defense counsel without a valid basis and in a manner exceedingly likely to chill and dissuade zealous representation;
3) the trial judge treated defense counsel obtaining their own legal representation as evidence of wrongdoing, when that occurred after defense counsel were threatened with negative professional or personal consequences and after the State asked to have one of the defense lawyers sworn in for questioning; and
4) the trial court refused to allow trial defense counsel to speak on the record and take any action to represent the defendant while the lawyers were represented, saying the lawyers had to be treated like any other “criminal defendant”.
