The Karen Read trial started with jury selection on Tuesday, April 16th, 2024. She is accused of fatally running over her boyfriend, John O'Keefe, with her SUV while drunk. Karen maintains her innocence and claims that there is a cover-up.

The TikTok Psychic defamation case had a hearing for summary judgment. Both the plaintiff and defendant had a chance to argue their cases. The judge will decide in writing soon.

Bryan Kohberger filed an alibi stating that his phone records would show that he was not in the area at the time of the murders.

Alec Baldwin gets a new prosecutor added to his case. And the Oklahoma Texting Judge ended up costing the state over $111K in attorney's fees.
