• Karen Read Back In Court. D4VD Is A Suspect. Brian Walshe updates and Jen Shah's Early Release. | The Emily Show

  Welcome back, Law Nerds! We've got a lot of high-profile case updates this Thanksgiving week! Karen Read’s team are coordinating discovery with the wrongful death case and her civil case, anticipating over a million pages of documents. Judge Cannone has ordered the release of the sidebars from the first and second trial. We're going gavel-to-gavel starting December 1st! He pleaded guilty to improper disposal and misleading police, but not murder. What does it mean for his defense, and why is Trooper Proctor on the defense witness list? LAPD now confirms that singer D4VD is a suspect in the death of Celeste Rivera, and that he is "not cooperating" with police. Jen Shah is getting an early prison release on December 10th after serving 33 months for telemarketing fraud. We discuss the significance of her reduced sentence and the impact of financial crimes on victims. Prosecutors in the Wendy and Eddie Osefo cases are alleging the insurance fraud case are requesting more financial records and citing 40 credit/debit cards under aliases as highly relevant to their motive.

• Brian Walshe Trial: Change of Plea Explained | Why He's Only Fighting the Murder Charge | Case Brief

Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/3wBlfaFwgy8  In a stunning turn of events, in the middle of jury selection, Brian Walshe, accused of the murder of his wife, Ana Walshe, announced a change of plea. This Case Brief breaks down the dramatic court hearing where Walshe pled guilty to two of the three charges against him: lying to police (Count 2) and disinterment/improper disposal of a body (Count 3). He is only proceeding to trial on the most serious charge—Count 1, first degree murder of Ana Walshe. Emily provides analysis of the non-negotiated plea (pleading "open to the court") and the judge's warning that he is not bound by any sentencing recommendations. The controversy surrounding Brian Walshe's marital status in court and how his plea to Count 3 (disposing of a body) legally impacts his claim of still being married. Why this strategic plea is unlikely to keep the most incriminating evidence out of the trial, including the infamous Google searches for "10 ways to dispose of a dead body if you really need to" and searches related to a cheating wife. The deep dive into why a defendant in a "no - body homicide" case would choose this risky move—and why the strategy likely hinges on Brian Walshe taking the stand. Join us as we explore the legal strategy and implications of this pivotal moment in the Brian Walshe case. Trial starts on December 1, 2025.

• Is Kouri Richins' Defense Counsel in Trouble? TV Interview, Sealed Motions & Orders! | Case Brief

Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/pg7ZYry8wWw  The Kouri Richins case just got a lot more complicated. This episode dives deep into the sealed documents and motions that have appeared on the docket and the TV interview her defense attorneys appeared in. The defense team speaks out in a rare television interview, stating they had an "ethical duty" to correct a false media narrative, which they claim the prosecution declined to address. Shortly after the interview, attorney Alexander Ramos gets his own legal representation in the case—a move that is unprecedented and concerning. We explore whether this is tied to the television interview, or the defense's conversation with the "recanting" witness, Robert Crozier. Multiple sealed affidavits from prosecutor Bloodworth, a sealed Order to Show Cause, and a sealed opposition memorandum all point to a major legal conflict brewing behind the scenes. If Attorney Ramos has become a witness in the case, what does that mean for Kouri Richins' February trial?

• Plea Deal VIOLATION? Judge Calls Out Kohberger's Defense in Restitution Fight | Case Brief

  Go to https://incogni.com/EMILY and use code EMILY to get 60% off annual plans Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/zgR3sp9wTcQ  In this Case Brief, we are diving into the latest update from the Bryan Kohberger case: the contentious restitution hearing where the defense and prosecution sparred over additional payments to the victims' families.  Despite a prior stipulation on restitution, the State attempted to add two more victims' families to the order, initially seeking payment for travel and lodging expenses. However, after the defense objected, the prosecution was forced to admit a critical error in their plea agreement and withdrew the request for the larger amounts. This left the court focused on a single, sensitive issue: restitution for the victims' urns (funeral expenses). Even for this smaller, funeral-related cost, the defense fought against the order, arguing their client had no ability to pay. The judge issued a stern warning, questioning the defense's strategy and revealing previously sealed information about the five figures worth of dollars Kohberger had received in his prison account.
