Welcome back to QuickBits. This week was unhinged and there's a lot to talk about

from updates in the Brian Cobrager prosecution to the Idaho defamation case,

big updates in the Tadi Westbrook cases. It's getting ready to go to trial.

And this whole ticket master swifty situation is wild, but not as wild as the judge

that was texting over 500 times during a murder trial in Oklahoma.

Oh, we talked about it all this week. Let's get into it.

I'm legal analyst Emily Debaker. This is the QuickBits where I break down just the main points

of the pop culture and entertainment cases. I'm currently covering on YouTube and the Emily

Show podcast. Let's get into it.

Let's go to Idaho first in the Idaho defamation case, which is a university professor has sued a

TikTok creator for defamation. Because the TikToker said that this university professor

is the one that orchestrated the murder of the four victims in the Idaho University murders

that Brian Cobrager has been charged and is being prosecuted for. The police actually put out

a statement to discredit this theory. And this is going through the federal court system.

The TikTokers representing themselves. What recently happened in court was that the TikToker failed

to respond to request for admissions in erogatories and discovery. And when those deadlines

passed, the things that the TikToker did not respond to are deemed admitted.

So the professor filed a motion for summary judgment. This motion could end the liability part

of the defamation case, meaning it would be determined by the court that the TikToker legally

defamed the professor. And then the only matter left for a jury would be damages. So resolve

the issue of defamation and liability and just leave it for damages. It's a very interesting case.

We'll see if the TikToker responds to the motion for summary judgment.
