"Grizzlies' Ja Morant defends himself in civil suit over teen punch incident"

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant testified in an immunity hearing that he punched a teenager in self-defense during a pick-up basketball game at his home.

Morant's testimony included stating that he hit the teenager first to protect himself after the teenager pulled up his shorts, which Morant interpreted as a fighting stance. This lawsuit is one of several off-court issues Morant is currently dealing with, including a 25-game suspension for brandishing firearms.

Alec Baldwin's 'Rust' Trial Delayed to 2024 as Armorer's Trial Date Pushed Back

Alec Baldwin is attempting to prevent crew members from the film "Rust" from taking him to court in a civil case, while the criminal trial for armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed has been postponed until next year. Baldwin and the production company have filed a motion to dismiss the civil case, with a pending motion to stay the proceedings until the criminal trial is concluded. The outcome of these motions could have implications for other ongoing civil cases against Baldwin. Special prosecutors have not yet decided whether to refile criminal charges against Baldwin in the shooting incident, but a recent forensics report suggests that the trigger of the prop gun had to be pulled for it to discharge. The criminal trial has been rescheduled for February 2024.

E. Jean Carroll's Civil Trial Against Donald Trump Begins.

Jury selection begins in the civil suit brought against former President Donald Trump by E. Jean Carroll, who accused him of raping her in a department store in the mid-1990s. Trump denies the allegations. This is the second suit Carroll has filed against Trump, and it contains a defamation claim. The trial is expected to last about a week, and both sides are expected to call witnesses to bolster their claims. The stakes are high for both parties, as Carroll is seeking unspecified damages and a retraction of a defamatory statement, while a verdict in her favor could be seen as a form of accountability for Trump.
