Nine years after the death of Cameron Redus, his family settled their lawsuit against University of the Incarnate Word. I previously wrote about that lawsuit here and here.

True the Vote Leaders Freed
In a very brief order, the Fifth Circuit ordered the release of Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips, the two heads of True the Vote. Otherwise, the district court’s order remains in effect.

Trump Motion for Special Master Lacks Actual Legal Authority
Donald Trump’s home was searched a few weeks ago. In response, his legal team has filed a motion requesting a Special Master to review the documents removed from his home.

Alex Jones Law Firm’s Error May not Matter
Alex Jones’ attorneys committed a serious error during his trial. I talked about that error here. Andino Reynal’s law firm sent the wrong link to the opposing attorney. Reynal’s law firm was trying to produce requested documents. Instead of sending access to the requested documents, the law firm sent a link to Alex Jones’…
Alex Jones Caught in Apparent Lie
Alex Jones is really having a tough time in court. He has had some bad days during his defamation trial, but Wednesday was probably the worst. He finally took the stand himself. He testified that he had never texted about the Sandy Hook shooting. Mr., Jones told the jury that he did not use email…
