This lost phone is said to contain potentially damaging, biased, and "appalling conversations" with other law enforcement officers, including explicit, non-consensual images of women. The Commonwealth has the data, but Proctor is objecting to its release. An attorney-client privileged email from Karen Read was accidentally sent to the opposing counsel via a "reply all." We cover the arguments on both sides: Read's team is moving to have the email destroyed, claiming inadvertent disclosure, while the O'Keefe's counsel argues the privilege was waived and they are entitled to use it for impeachment. The court has taken this motion under advisement. RESOURCES Wrongful Death Lawsuit - https://youtu.be/NimCmMVTbfE  Protective Order - https://youtu.be/Gi3OiGX-PBs Learn more about your ad choices.

There have been major turns in the investigation with video and photos recovered and released to the public on February 11, 2026. Since then, law enforcement has detained and questioned numerous individuals and recently seized and searched another vehicle. The searches have taken place under search warrants, and late on Sunday, news broke that a DNA profile was taken from a glove found 2 miles from Nancy Guthrie's home. It’s reported that the glove matches the type of glove seen in previously shared photos and video.  This is an active and developing investigation.  Team Canada is in the middle of an Olympic-sized scandal shaking the sport of curling. They aren’t going to be able to sweep off the accusations quickly as the video that appears to show the double-touch cheating is getting memed across the internet. Plus, Team Canada is now alleging that Sweden is improperly recording other teams… this likely isn’t done.  RESOURCES Sheriff Nanos February 13th interviews https://youtu.be/dGEqzmLe0kE  https://youtu.be/vX35DEvRsks  https://youtu.be/CsrHlQxJxT4  https://youtu.be/x9C3ccj6BK8  Curling Controversy – Team Canada Called out by Sweden  https://youtu.be/Zih8FL9DLAI  Curling Controversy – Canada Penalized for double touch  https://youtu.be/IvXuaLKsVw0   The Emily Show February 9, 2026 - https://youtu.be/00ZoV-7GpDM  Karen Read 2025 Trial - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gL3CbMJHvrKiAD1aDNcblnO  Bryan Kohberger Case - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKASBczV3CsUx-t5oRAK0ca Learn more about your ad choices.

Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/I8ReKsMfCLg  In this critical Case Brief, we return to Fairfax, Virginia, for the emotional sentencing of Juliana Magalhães, the co-defendant of Brendan Banfield in the brutal murder of Joseph Ryan and Christine Banfield. Magalhães took a plea deal, reducing her charge from intentional homicide to manslaughter in exchange for her cooperation with the Commonwealth (including testifying truthfully at Banfield's trial). The prosecution recommended a sentence of time served but the judge ultimately decides the sentencing.

We break down the intense oral arguments before the South Carolina Supreme Court as the defense appeals for a new trial. The most Murdaugh can achieve from this appeal is a new trial. He would still remain incarcerated due to his federal and other state convictions. The discussion details how the clerk of court allegedly had a financial incentive (to sell a book for a "lakehouse") to influence the jury toward a guilty verdict. We cover the comments she made to deliberating and alternate jurors about Murdaugh's body language and testimony, and the highly problematic revelations from the "egg juror's" affidavit. We also touch upon other evidentiary errors argued by the defense, including issues with cell phone forensic evidence, gunshot residue from a blue raincoat, impeachment regarding Murdaugh's post-Miranda silence, and firearms identification testimony. The justices showed significant interest in the clerk of court's interference, which many observers believe presents the easiest grounds for a new trial.

Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/jqGw3RLBxw0  In this Case Brief, we break down the latest, most critical updates in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of morning show host Savannah Guthrie, who went missing from her home on Sunday, February 1st. We analyze the shocking release of surveillance photos and video by the FBI showing a potential subject tampering with the front door camera. This footage was recovered from residual data in the backend system, despite earlier reports that "no video" was available due to the device being removed and a lack of subscription. The story of how Nancy Guthrie was discovered missing has changed. We detail how initial reports of her missing in-person church were incorrect, and that she actually missed her regular live-streamed New York church service with a small group of friends at one of their homes. Her concerned friends alerted her local daughter, Annie Guthrie. RESOURCES Nancy Guthrie Disappearance - The Emily Show - https://youtu.be/00ZoV-7GpDM Learn more about your ad choices.
