The cause of death was the acute effects of ketamine including contributing factors of drowning. Five people have been charged by the Feds in connection with his death, including 2 doctors and his live-in personal assistant. Disney is trying to have a widower's wrongful death lawsuit dismissed and sent to arbitration. Disney stated that the couple had signed up for a Disney+ trial in the past and the terms of service state that the consumer’s right to a jury trial in any dispute would forever be barred. Disney lawyers also claim there is an arbitration clause when you get a Disney park ticket as well. In the Alex Murdaugh case, the Supreme Court granted a direct hearing of his appeal about his motion for a New Trial, which Justice Toal had previously denied. They will also take up if South Carolina will keep the standard that requires a defendant to show that the jurors were impacted and in any way prejudiced. The Tom Girardi trial should end this week and jurors might make a decision depending on when they get the case goes to deliberation. The LA Innocence Project took on the Scott Peterson Case this year. DNA testing on a piece of duct tape found on Laci was granted. We are waiting for the results and if something comes out of that, then a bid for a new trial can be made.

0:05.0	Today we need to talk about Disney's ill-advised arbitration,

0:40.3	Let's get into it.
0:56.4	First off, talking about Scott Peterson, I have broken down his bid for discovery and connection to a new trial that'll be linked down below. In fact, all of the content that I mentioned today will be linked down below if you want the deeper dive content for today's topics.
1:00.8	But I've seen more conversation around Scott Peterson now that there are
1:04.2	competing docu series and of course there are there's been lots of conversation
1:09.3	about this case but the LA Innocence Project took this case on to ask for discovery possibly in a bid for a new trial for Scott Peterson.
