Catra and Adora were meant to rule the world... metaphorically speaking. Same law school to get out of the sticks, same firm to qualify in to, same focus on getting up the ladder to Partner.

But Adora lost the dream and did the unthinkable. Now she's working for a small firm going up against a big hitter over a new development. And who is across the table?

Her former best friend.

How will things go as the once-friends find themselves on opposite sides of the courtroom? And what will winning feel like?

What price to get the final word in?

Alec Baldwin Accused of Violating Gun Safety Rules in Rust Shooting Trial

Santa Fe, New Mexico – Alec Baldwin faces serious allegations in his involuntary manslaughter trial, as prosecutors accuse him of violating crucial gun safety rules on the set of the Western film Rust. The trial, which commenced on Wednesday, centers on the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in October 2021.

Special prosecutor Erlinda Johnson, in her opening statement, alleged that Baldwin “played make believe with a real gun” and breached cardinal firearm safety rules. She contended that the actor’s actions were reckless and endangered others on set.

In contrast, Baldwin’s defense team argued that Hutchins' death, though tragic, resulted from Baldwin’s role as an actor, not from any criminal conduct. Baldwin has pleaded not guilty and maintains that he did not pull the gun’s trigger. His legal team emphasized that the crucial issue is how the live round ended up in the gun.

The trial’s first day included distressing footage of medics attempting to save Hutchins, described as a “vibrant 42-year-old rising star,” and treating director Joel Souza, who was also injured. Additional clips showed Baldwin on set before and after the incident.

Baldwin, charged under his full name, Alexander Rae Baldwin, could face up to 18 months in prison if convicted. He was supported in court by his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, his brother, actor Stephen Baldwin, and other friends and family members.

Johnson highlighted that Baldwin requested “the biggest gun available” for the film and argued that his actions on set were reckless. “The evidence will show that someone who played make believe with a real gun and violated the cardinal rules of firearm safety is the defendant,” she stated.

Prosecutors will present evidence suggesting Baldwin deviated from standard firearm safety practices. Expert testimonies will address whether the weapon could have fired without pulling the trigger, a point prosecutors claim is not possible.

Baldwin’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, argued that the actor followed typical procedures for handling prop guns on set. He stated, “Safety has to occur before a gun is placed in an actor's hand.” Spiro asserted that Baldwin was unaware of the live round and followed instructions to point the gun at Hutchins, who was positioned behind the camera.

Spiro also shifted responsibility to the film’s armorer, Hannah Gutierrez, convicted of involuntary manslaughter earlier this year, and assistant director David Halls, who pleaded no contest to negligent use of a deadly weapon in 2023. Baldwin was told the gun was “cold,” meaning it was safe to use.

Santa Fe County Sheriff’s officers testified about the chaotic scene on set, describing “a bunch of people running everywhere” as the incident unfolded.

Let's delve into the intricacies of the trial and the implications of Daniels' testimony. Stormy Daniels Testifies The Courtroom Spectacle: As Stormy Daniels took the stand, all eyes were on the courtroom, where Donald Trump sat mere feet away. Her testimony provided a detailed narrative of the alleged sexual encounter that led to hush money payments during Trump's presidential campaign, sparking intense scrutiny and debate. A Landmark Case Unfolds: The trial, characterized by its mix of tabloid drama and legal intricacies, marks a historic moment in American politics. The presence of a porn actor alleging a liaison with a former president adds yet another layer to a case already rife with allegations of misconduct and cover-ups. Challenges and Controversies: Despite objections from defense lawyers, Daniels delved into salacious details of the encounter, prompting heated exchanges in the courtroom. The defense's attempts to discredit her testimony and portray her as biased only intensified the drama surrounding the trial. Legal Maneuvering: The defense's motion for a mistrial based on Daniels' testimony was swiftly denied by the judge, who urged them to raise objections during the proceedings. Trump's legal team seized the opportunity to question Daniels, aiming to undermine her credibility and motives. Key Testimony Highlights: Daniels' testimony painted a vivid picture of the alleged encounter, describing Trump's advances and the power dynamics at play. Her account shed light on the events leading up to the hush money payment and the emotional aftermath of the encounter. Judge's Intervention: During Trump's visible reaction to Daniels' testimony, the judge intervened, cautioning against behavior that could intimidate the witness or jury. The tense exchange underscored the gravity of the proceedings and the heightened emotions in the courtroom. Stormy Daniels' Role: In the years since the encounter was made public, Stormy Daniels has emerged as a vocal critic of Donald Trump, often using her platform to denounce his actions. However, her testimony in the trial marks a significant moment, as she faces Trump in a legal setting for the first time. The Verdict's Implications: The outcome of the trial will have far-reaching consequences, shaping public perception of Trump's conduct and the legal accountability of public figures. Regardless of the verdict, the trial serves as a testament to the complexities of power, privilege, and accountability in American politics.

‘The Burial’ Preview: Jamie Foxx Stars as Tommy Lee Jones' Lawyer in Court.

Jamie Foxx steps into the courtroom in the newest trailer for Prime Video's “The Burial.” The legal-themed drama-comedy, co-starring Tommy Lee Jones, Jurnee Smollett, and Alan Ruck, is slated for a Sept. 11 debut at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Drawing inspiration from Jonathan Harr’s 1999 article in The New Yorker, "The Burial" chronicles the journey of personal injury attorney Willie E. Gary (portrayed by Foxx). He takes up the cause of funeral home proprietor Jeremiah Joseph O’Keefe (played by Jones) in his contractual conflict with the Loewen funeral establishment. With Gary by his side, O’Keefe challenges Raymond Loewen's (embodied by Bill Camp) firm, allowing viewers a peek into the shady underbelly of the funeral business and revealing facets of Gary's daring and unique past.

In a conversation with People, the movie's director Maggie Betts shared her thoughts on casting Foxx. “The actual Willie Gary is an enormous character, and Jamie was the perfect choice, given his exceptional talent and dynamism, to capture this intricate role.”

She expressed her delight at Foxx’s portrayal, stating, “His interpretation added a dimension of depth and sensitivity to the character that surpassed my expectations. As a filmmaker, this was a joy to witness.”

Betts went on to say, “The movie is both uplifting and motivational, promising to evoke a range of emotions, from laughter to introspection.”

“The Burial” is penned by Betts in collaboration with Doug Wright. The production team comprises Foxx, Celine Rattray, Trudie Styler, Datari Turner, Jenette Kahn, Adam Richman, and Bobby Shriver. After its unveiling at TIFF, “The Burial” will screen in select cinemas from Oct. 6 and will be accessible on Prime Video starting Oct. 13.
