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! :)

I HIGHLY recommend watching the Stefon Diggs trial.
I’m starting the Day 2 stream when court resumes tomorrow at 9 AM ET.
If you missed Day 1, I cut out the breaks so it’s easy to catch up:
Opening statements are under 30 minutes, and Jamila Adams’ Day 1 testimony is under 2.5 hours.
We've got
Tons of sidebars
Tons of stricken testimony
Witness and attorney quipping on cross.
And a lot more 😅 Here's the playlist with clips to catch you up:

NO YNW Melly court today, according to Jamie - www.instagram.com/reel/DXxrkumM8aK/
Whenever a decision comes down, I'll go live and let everyone know. There's no guessing when a decision would come down.
If I see any other docket updates, I'll let you guys know as well.

This is an interesting hearing (I usually think bond hearings are!). For day 6 of the Julio Foolio trial, I'll start whenever this ends. It might be an afternoon/evening stream, but we'll get it done <3

😂Day 5 of the Julio Foolio 4 trial starts off with Detective Drabek describing how Rashad Murphy (apparently left-handed) asked Drabek to hold the paper for him while he tried to sign with his right hand 😂😂😂😂😂

Hey Everyone!
The State still hasn't responded to a couple motions, so rather than going over the latest tonight, let's get together tomorrow 4/29 and go through all the motions to be heard at the hearing on Thursday, 4/30.
I'll be streaming the hearing live. If you're watching Julio Foolio 4 with me, we'll start that day's stream after the Melly hearing and skip breaks. Both are Florida trials (EDT)

Here's a story: 25 years - Harry Ruiz - Conviction Vacated
"At the hearing, Judge Robert Mandelbaum took the unusual step of rebuking the former assistant district attorney in charge of Ruiz’s trial for her “troubling” refusal to participate in the reinvestigation."
The prosecutor, Helen Sturm, said she’s not required “to go over a case from 30 years ago.”
Issues: Behind the Conviction
- $17,000 in cash and housing help secretly paid to the mother of the only eyewitness (a 13-year-old girl) who identified Ruiz. This was never disclosed to the defense.
-That same 13-year-old girl, while testifying, pointed to a random person in the gallery as a shooter 😢
- Three family members gave Ruiz a solid alibi. Ignored.
- In 2002, a federal informant confessed that he paid someone else to kill the victim and that Ruiz had nothing to do with it. Ruiz's appeal team says this wasn't disclosed to them.
