There was a massive release of videos, photos, and interviews related to the Ruby Franke and Jodi Hildebrandt case, including both women’s arrest and interview videos, interviews with Ruby’s estranged husband Kevin Franke, and her journal.

When police arrived to search Jodi’s home, she was already on the phone with her lawyer and kept her lawyer on the phone for a substantial amount of time. Ruby not only exercised her right to remain silent but mostly simply blinked at law enforcement while looking outraged that they had arrested her.

The federal government wants to break its plea deal with Alex Murdaugh ahead of his April 1st, 2024 sentencing on 22 federal financial crimes. Federal Prosecutors had offered Alex Murdaugh a plea deal based on his truthful interviews and disclosures about any criminal activity, where the proceeds of the crimes have gone etc.

For that, they would ask that the sentence on the federal crimes run concurrently with the state financial crimes, for which he is already serving 27 years. Since Alex's plea deal will not move forward, the judge will most likely apply an upward variance from the proposed guideline ranger.

Alec Baldwin’s attorneys filed over 700 pages in support of their Motion to Dismiss the grand jury indictment, arguing that the prosecution gave inappropriate jury instructions to the grand jury and that the prosecution acted in bad faith when they failed to present exculpatory evidence.

The prosecution has extended time to respond and the court hasn’t set a hearing on this yet. However, the trial date in July will be here before you know it. Hannah’s defense made an emergency motion for a new trial and release, in a hearing on March 29, 2024, the court denied both motions and reminded counsel that the sentencing would go forward as scheduled on April 15, 2024.

Kouri Richins is now facing 11 charges, including counts of attempted murder, mortgage fraud, insurance fraud, and forgery. The new information brings to light that Kouri had previously tried to poison Eric on Valentine's Day, had an affair, confessed to wanting out of the marriage but couldn't leave because she would be left with nothing under the pre-marital agreement, and had no idea she wasn’t going to be the beneficiary of Eric’s estate.
