The latest headlines in the Matthew Perry case state that the doctor taking a plea in the case is a Dr. Chavez, not Dr ‘P’. This is not new to the Law Nerds because as I broke down in The Emily Show podcast, Dr. Chavez is one of the three defendants who had already taken a plea deal. He made his first court appearance on August 30th and was allowed to remain out of custody on a $50K bond and may not practice medicine as a condition of his release.

The ex-husband of Kyle Richards, Mauricio Umansky, is being sued over Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans taken during the COVID pandemic. The US is suing on behalf of Relator LLC., claiming the loan was taken under false pretenses as the company was not finanically struggling during that time and a jury trial is being requested.

Kouri Richins had a preliminary hearing last week that lasted two days. The judge determined that there is probable cause to move forward with a jury trial. Richins pled not guilty and her trial is scheduled for May of 2025.

Bryan Kohberger had a change of venue hearing last week, where the defense brought in their witnesses to explain the results of the surveys. The defense and prosecution had an opportunity to make their arguments to the Judge, and he took them into submission and will make a written ruling some time in the future.

Karen Read, CF McCarthy’s & The Waterfall Bar & Grill were sued for the wrongful death of John O’Keefe. The lawsuit was filed by John’s brother Paul O’Keefe, his father John O’Keefe II and his mother Margaret O’Keefe, as well as additionally on behalf of his niece. I will monitor this civil lawsuit closely and provide updates in the future.
