extreme
The attorney for the University of Idaho stabbing victim Kaylee Goncalves’s family has filed an appeal of a Latah County judge’s gag order regarding the case against her suspected killer, Bryan Kohberger.

Even lawyers in the civil rape case against Trump can’t learn jurors’ names

We learned last month that Donald Trump is getting a rare anonymous jury at his upcoming civil trial in the rape and defamation lawsuit brought against him by writer E. Jean Carroll. But the former president’s aggressive behavior has continued such that even the lawyers can’t learn those jurors’ names. It was remarkable enough when Judge Lewis Kaplan decided to treat the impending civil jury like one in a terrorism or organized crime case. In doing so, Kaplan recounted Trump’s whipping up of Jan. 6 rioters and his urging of supporters to “take our country back” in the face of…Continue Reading
