Welcome! This is a casual place to keep up with trials and court cases in real time. Trial watches, appeals, motions, deep dives, and the occasional “wait… what?” story.
We look at cases with two pulses here -
1) What do you think happened?
2) Did the prosecution (or plaintiff) actually meet their burden to prove their case?
Those answers don’t always match, and the Chatt always weighs in with something insightful and fresh.
I have fun along the way, but I'm passionate about covering serious issues, too. Wrongful convictions bother me. So do prosecutions that fall apart because police or prosecutors colored outside the lines trying to win. Also: I’m not a lawyer. I just love learning the law, watching a good argument… and honestly, sometimes I really enjoy the bad arguments, too.
Most of the magic is in the livestreams, because the Chatt is the bee's knees.
If you like this kind of coverage, subscribe and turn on notifications - Hope to see you in the Chatt! :)

Florida Highway Patrol arrested the wrong woman for a deadly hit-and-run on I-4 that killed three people. They completely ignored a 911 call that described a maroon Durango with a partial tag of 458.
Then, SIRT stepped in and basically had to start the investigation over.
In this video I go through the court documents and break down exactly what went wrong in the original investigation before charges against Lindsey Isaacs were finally dropped, and Alisa Lee Montalvo was arrested instead.
It’s a pretty clear before-and-after of a bad investigation versus a proper one.

What the judge did today in the Ebony Parker trial was grant the defense's motion to strike, finding that there was insufficient evidence as a matter of law to sustain a conviction. This means a judgement of ACQUITTAL will be entered, and the case cannot be retried. This is basically Virginia's name for a motion for directed verdict or JMOL.
🟢Helpful terms:
• Motion to Strike the Evidence: Virginia’s version of a directed verdict/judgment as a matter of law. The defense asks the judge to rule that the prosecution’s evidence is legally insufficient to support a conviction based on charged statute(s).
• Insufficient as a Matter of Law: Even taking all evidence in the light most favorable to the Commonwealth, no reasonable jury could convict.
• Judgment of Acquittal: When the motion is granted, the court must enter a not-guilty judgment.
🟢The relevant procedural law:
Rule 3A:15 Motion to Strike or to Set Aside Verdict; Judgment of Acquittal or New Trial. (RELEVANT PARTS)
(a) Motion to Strike Evidence. -- After the Commonwealth has rested its case or
at the conclusion of all the evidence, the court on motion of the accused may strike the
Commonwealth's evidence if the evidence is insufficient as a matter of law to sustain a
conviction.
(c) Judgment of Acquittal or New Trial. - The court must enter a judgment of
acquittal if it strikes the evidence or sets aside the verdict because the evidence is
insufficient as a matter of law to sustain a conviction. The court must grant a new trial if
it sets aside the verdict for any other reason.
