"Judge Limits Disclosure of Juror Information in Trump's NY Criminal Trial"

The judge overseeing Donald Trump's criminal trial in New York has agreed to limit access to juror information, citing concerns about potential harassment. The judge granted prosecutors' motions to restrict who can know the names and addresses of jurors to Trump, his attorneys, staff, and consultants, in an effort to protect the jurors from potential harassment, bribery, or intimidation. The judge has not yet ruled on a gag order but has reminded the attorneys and Trump to refrain from making statements that could incite violence or civil unrest.

"Judge Denies Alex Murdaugh's Request for New Murder Trial Amid Jury Tampering Allegation"

A judge denied Alex Murdaugh's request for a new trial in the murder of his wife and son, ruling that the court clerk's "foolish and fleeting" comments did not affect the jury's verdict. The judge criticized the clerk for being "attracted by the siren call of celebrity" and not being completely credible in her testimony. Murdaugh's lawyers plan to appeal, hoping that the state's appellate courts will view the law differently and not require them to prove that the clerk's comments were prejudicial.

Trump's Fraud-Trial Antics Backfire as Judge Denies Instant Win in NY Civil Fraud Case

Lawyers for the New York attorney general's office condemn the "antics" of Donald Trump's legal team in a filing, criticizing their repeated requests for a "directed verdict" in the civil fraud trial. The judge, who has presided over the case for three years, denied the latest request and agreed with the attorney general's frustration. The filing sarcastically refers to Trump's paid witnesses as the "most ineffective team of experts that Defendants' money can buy." The trial aims to determine if Trump's proven fraud rises to the level of criminality, with closing arguments and a verdict expected in January.

"Judge Delays Ruling on Abby Zwerner's $40 Million Lawsuit for School Shooting Compensation"

A judge in Newport News, Virginia, needs more time to decide whether Abby Zwerner, a first-grade teacher who was shot by her 6-year-old student, should be entitled to workplace compensation or her $40 million lawsuit against the school board. Zwerner's attorneys argued that her injury was not a workplace injury, while the school board claimed it was a hazard of her job. The judge will provide a written opinion in about a week.

Judge Rejects Plea Deal in Deadly Minneapolis Carjacking Case

A judge in Minneapolis has declined to accept the plea agreement of Husayn Braveheart, an accomplice in a deadly carjacking that occurred in 2019. Braveheart, who was 15 years old at the time of the crime, recently appealed to be certified as an adult. While he didn't fire the fatal shot, Braveheart fired after the victim drove off. The plea deal offered by Hennepin County prosecutors, which would have allowed Braveheart to serve probation instead of prison time, was controversial. The judge's decision was met with disagreement from the county attorney's office, who argued that Braveheart had responded well to treatment during his incarceration and that continued serious treatment would be the best way to protect the public. The family of the victim has been strongly opposed to the plea deal.

Judge Terminates Michael Oher's Conservatorship with Tuohy Family

A Tennessee judge has decided to end the conservatorship agreement between former NFL player Michael Oher and the Tuohy family, who took him in during high school. Oher had requested a financial accounting from the Tuohys, claiming they used his name and likeness to enrich themselves. The judge expressed her disbelief that such an agreement was ever reached and stated that she had never seen a conservatorship agreement with someone who was not disabled in her 43-year career. Oher alleged that the Tuohys received millions of dollars in royalties from the film "The Blind Side," while he received nothing.

Philadelphia Officer Cleared of Charges in Fatal Shooting of Eddie Irizarry: Judge's Ruling

A judge has dismissed the case against former Philadelphia police officer Mark Dial, who was charged with murder in the fatal shooting of Eddie Irizarry. The judge cited a lack of evidence during the preliminary hearing. The district attorney's office plans to file an appeal, disagreeing with the decision. Body camera footage showed Dial approaching Irizarry's car with his gun drawn before firing six shots at close range. Dial's attorneys argue that he acted in self-defense, believing Irizarry had a gun. The police commissioner had previously announced Dial's termination for violating department rules.

Devin Haney narrowly defeats Vasiliy Lomachenko in highly anticipated boxing match.

Devin Haney won a unanimous decision over Vasiliy Lomachenko in a thrilling lightweight title bout, but the result was disputed by some fans. Lomachenko put on a gutsy and brilliant performance, fighting two divisions higher than his natural weight and landing more meaningful power punches in the second half. Haney made the fight's first big adjustment by slowing Lomachenko down to the body, but faded in the second half. The fight was a technical showcase of two pound-for-pound elites and a legitimately great fight at the same time. The best matchups in boxing are between 135 and 140 pounds.
