Unsealed Idaho College Murder Documents and the Tom Girardi Bar Scandal

In this week’s Quick Bits, I cover the new documents in the Idaho College Murders, the writ, and the Tom Girardi Bar Scandal.

First, I cover the lawsuit against the My Poops commercial and its alleged copyright infringement of the Black Eyed Peas song, My Humps. Next, the Tom Girardi bar scandal, where the State Bar released two redacted reports detailing Girardi's use of money and power to influence the bar's investigations into his conduct. This included hiring family members of those who worked at the bar and giving a Girardi Keese AMEX to a State Bar employee. Finally, there are a lot of updates in the Idaho case involving Kohlbergers and the non-discrimination order. Recently unsealed search warrants from Pennsylvania showed that items were taken from the White Elantra and Kohlbergers' parents' residence, including electronics, clothing, and a shop vac. A memo from a January 13, 2023 zoom meeting between the prosecutor, defense attorney, a redacted party, and the attorney for the Goncalves family revealed snappy exchanges between the Goncalves family attorney and the court regarding the non-discrimination order. Additionally, a writ was filed on February 6, 2023, with the Idaho Supreme Court seeking to have the non-dissemination order thrown out, arguing that it is not the least restrictive means to protect Kohlbergers' right to a fair trial. Kohlbergers and the prosecution are both opposing the writ, with Kohlbergers arguing that it's necessary to protect his rights to a fair trial.
