Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/ojT2fNd11Lk [https://youtu.be/ojT2fNd11Lk]  Following her convictions for the murder and attempted murder of her husband, Kouri Richins remains embroiled in a complex web of legal challenges, including a pending financial crimes case involving charges such as money laundering, mortgage fraud, and a pattern of criminal activity. Her defense team in the financial case—Wendy Lewis, Katherine Nester, and Alexander Ramos—has recently moved to withdraw, stating they are not contracted or paid by Summit County for this separate matter and that financial crime defense is outside their primary area of expertise. Meanwhile, her murder case awaits a restitution hearing and a defense motion for a new trial expected later this month, while her numerous civil cases currently lack any attorney of record. Legal proceedings are set to continue through the fall, with a particular interest in securing restitution for victims from any potential future earnings Richins may acquire.

Karen Read Case: Hearing Over Colin Albert’s Deposition | Case Brief

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/pCRYMeCFQik [https://youtu.be/pCRYMeCFQik]  A June 17, 2026, court hearing addressed Karen Read's motion to compel a deposition and document production from non-party witness Colin Albert. The court expressed significant frustration with both legal teams over their "bitchiness" in emails and the inclusion of "arguments as facts" within their hyperbolic filings. While the defense claimed Albert had "virtually zero relevance" and had already sat for one deposition, the Judge insisted that a subpoena "needs to mean something" and rejected the suggestion to wait until the fall for a new appearance. Ultimately, the court ordered the attorneys to spend the weekend negotiating a "Goldilocks zone" for the scope of document discovery and to return the following Monday with a confirmed date for Albert’s deposition before the August discovery deadline.

Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/ogTz4xNUiX0 [https://youtu.be/ogTz4xNUiX0]  The Karen Read wrongful death case is currently marked by significant procedural conflict and judicial micromanagement, with the court issuing several orders to strictly regulate filings, such as striking documents lacking certificates of service and mandating specific formats for hyperlinks and media. A central dispute involves a motion to compel Colin Albert, a non-party witness, to attend a deposition and produce documents related to the night of John O’Keefe’s death. Read’s defense team alleges "gamesmanship" by opposing counsel, claiming they surreptitiously rescheduled Albert's deposition to a date when Read's attorneys were unavailable while simultaneously refusing to provide requested communications. Albert’s legal representation counters that the subpoena is overbroad, lacks relevance to the central issue of Read’s liability, and that the defense originally canceled the scheduled deposition.

Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/ojT2fNd11Lk [https://youtu.be/ojT2fNd11Lk]  Following the South Carolina Supreme Court's reversal of Alex Murdaugh's murder convictions, the case is moving toward a retrial under the exclusive jurisdiction of newly appointed Judge Deborah R. McCaslin. Concurrently, the State has filed a motion to unseal the previously restricted in camera hearing transcripts regarding the removal of "Juror 785," also known as the "egg lady juror," arguing that former protective orders should now be considered moot. This motion follows earlier requests by the juror herself to reveal the private proceedings, which include discussions between the court and counsel that may shed light on allegations of improper influence during the original trial.
