COURT REPORT: 8.21.26

This week on Court Report, we’re catching up on a packed week of major developments in cases we’ve been following.

A familiar name is back in court as the fight over a high-profile retrial heats up, while Luigi Mangione makes a major decision in his federal case. We also have an update in the Jared Bridegan murder case as another defendant heads to trial—and new developments in a case we’ve been following close to home.

Plus, nearly 30 years after Tupac Shakur was killed, a jury is finally hearing the case against Keffe D—and some of the testimony is already getting wild.

We’ll also talk about a convicted teenager whose trial judge has now been removed from his case, surprising evidence the original jury never heard, and several quick Juror Notes involving appeals, sentencing, upcoming trials, and one jury that may actually have to come back to court and explain its verdict.

A lot happened this week. Let’s get into it.
