Karen Read's motion for expert expenses was denied because the Commonwealth had expressed concerns that the original video footage might not exist. It was revealed that a now retired detective had downloaded selected videos from that day and saved them on a hard drive and possibly a iCloud account.

These videos had not been turned over to the defense before the first trial. The Commonwealth has turned over voluminous new discovery to the defense ahead of the second trial, including new experts, expert reports, and full files.

The retrial is expected to be a completely different case, with a new accident reconstructionist and a new accident reconstruction process.

The “It Ends With Us” lawsuits have a court date of March 9th, 2026. The attorneys faced off in Court on February 3rd, 2025, arguing who started the smear campaign and the judge promptly told them to knock it off.

The Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni Federal lawsuits against each other have been consolidated and many issues were addressed. The Joneswork PR vs Baldoni lawsuit was filed on January 27th, 2025, and is a related lawsuit to the consolidated cases.

The NY Times hasn’t been served yet and Lively’s attorneys argued that the case may need to be unconsolidated after just being recently consolidated due to The NY Times being a defendant. Lively intends to file a Protective Order on Discovery which is normal for high profile cases.

Diddy received a Superseding Indictment which added additional victims to the racketeering conspiracy charges.

Shortly after Karen Read’s Hearing on January 31st, 2025, Judge Cannone made a ruling not to do a Daubert Hearing on the defense digital forensics expert, Mr. Green. She had also narrowed a prior ruling regarding journalist Gretchen Voss’ notes allowing most of it to remain private.

Sarah Boone wrote a letter to the courts because she said that a Notice to Appeal was not filed on her case. The Court wrote back to her informing who her Appellate Attorney is. According to the Sarah Boone’s Online Docket, it says that the Notice of Appeal was filed on December 18th, 2024 but received by the Clerk on January 31st, 2025. It seems like a clerical error and it should not affect the progress of her case.

On January 31st, 2025, the Karen Read case continues with a hearing focused on motions and discovery. The defense argues over expert witness fees due to unavailable evidence, while the prosecution provides updates on new experts and witness interviews. The judge also indicated that a Daubert hearing regarding the defense's expert, Mr. Green, was unlikely and that they would issue an order by Monday.

The defense requested more time to file a motion to dismiss, while the prosecution stated that they were still providing discovery to the defense. There's still upcoming motions in limine and motions to suppress, and the need for all discovery to be turned over ahead of the re-trial.
