Katt Not Williams - Invidious

Katt Not Williams

Welcome! This is a casual place to keep up with trials and court cases in real time. Trial watches, appeals, motions, deep dives, and the occasional “wait… what?” story.

We look at cases with two pulses here -
1) What do you think happened?
2) Did the prosecution (or plaintiff) actually meet their burden to prove their case?

Those answers don’t always match, and the Chatt always weighs in with something insightful and fresh.

I have fun along the way, but I'm passionate about covering serious issues, too. Wrongful convictions bother me. So do prosecutions that fall apart because police or prosecutors colored outside the lines trying to win. Also: I’m not a lawyer. I just love learning the law, watching a good argument… and honestly, sometimes I really enjoy the bad arguments, too.

Most of the magic is in the livestreams, because the Chatt is the bee's knees.
If you like this kind of coverage, subscribe and turn on notifications - Hope to see you in the Chatt! :)

Fat Joe Cases: Judge Rochon has denied Tyrone Blackburn's motion to reconsider. Note the motion to reconsider was on behalf of himself and his law firm, but not his client, Terrance Dixon.

Back in March, Judge Rochon dismissed Fat Joe's IIED claim but let the defamation claims against Blackburn and his firm proceed. Those claims center on an April 29 Instagram post + May 2 interview.

She notes that the arguments raised in the motion to reconsider were already considered or don’t change the result - no second bite. #TyroneBlackburn #FatJoeCases

RASHAUN JONES UPDATES: TRIAL DELAYED AGAIN - 2/8. There were two hearings this week.

🗒️Notes on the 9/8/2026 Hearing

- Maybe three hours.
- Jude Faccidomo appeared with the defense.
- The State accused the defense of "unethical conduct" over a statement from Spencer Bradley, asserting they took his statement using a burner phone and that a lawyer wasn't present.
- Court took a break. The State spoke to Bradley’s counsel, who showed the conversation was a legal, prison-arranged call with consent and with counsel present.
- Back on the record. State walks a back their claims.
- Judge Cristina Miranda did not admonish the State for the accusation. Instead, she kept insinuating the defense engaged in something nefarious because defense counsel "had to invoke their Fifth Amendment right to remain silent and hire counsel."
- Faccidomo told the court there is no conflict and the defense should be allowed to keep litigating on behalf of their client despite the mysterious investigation the State keeps alluding to.
- Then it seemed like Miranda was about to hold defense in criminal contempt for filing something after she told them they couldn’t have access to the record, "in direct violation of her orders." But thankfully she didn’t.
- They talked about possible trial dates in 2027. No agreement. Come back 9/10 to discuss availability.

🗒️NOTES ON 9/10
- Discussing trial dates, Judge said they could do October and Alvarez (Defense) agreed.
- ASA Diamond interrupted to make it clear the state was ready to go to trial immediately after the first mistrial. The only thing holding them up is the ongoing "investigation."
-State said the only way they would be ready now is if the defense waived cross of George French Jones or his snitch about their statements.
-Judge interrupts and says since this was just for scheduling she didn't have Rashaun Jones brought out. They pause and bring him out.
-They resume and October is no longer on the table but I missed the reason why.
- There's some crosstalk between the court, staff, and state about November and December and for whatever reason those are ruled out. Defense isn't available from January through the 2nd week of February. They settled on a motions hearing on Dec. 7 and jury selection on Feb. 8.
-4th motion to disqualify denied.

The docket's already been updated to reflect:
-Denial of 4th Motion to Disqualify
-Motions Hearing 12/7/2026
-Trial Sounding 1/28/2027
-Trial 2/08/2027

I deeply appreciate everyone's attention to what's happening in cases like this. #RashaunJones

The filing details recent hearings, even those not uploaded by Law & Crime.

The filing: www2.miamidadeclerk.gov/cjis/viewDocument?qs=oxkE7…

Some context over on X:

I'd like to do a stream on this filing, even though I'd be skipping some updates to do this one. I wish the proceedings were available for us to see for ourselves.

SCOTT SPIVEY: The estate of Scott Spivey has filed a federal lawsuit against Horry County and 13 HCPD officers, alleging they steered the 2023 investigation to protect Weldon Boyd and Kenneth Williams.

The complaint is a § 1983 civil rights case. Plaintiffs are alleging officers, acting under color of law:

- Steered the investigation to protect Boyd and Williams

-Coached Boyd and Williams, including with a handwritten note: “Act like a victim. Camera" 😭🫠

- Coordinated turning off body cameras/audio

- Failed to separate witnesses

- Failed to properly secure the scene

- Let Boyd’s attorney onto the scene before it was secured

- Left Spivey’s body in his truck in the summer heat

- Towed the truck with his body inside

- Failed to seal the shattered rear window, potentially allowing opportunity for the planting of steroid pills

- Failed to seize a tablet/computer in Boyd’s truck despite having a warrant

- Mislabeled videos so they would not appear in the case file

- Misplaced the crime-scene log, which was only "found" years later after IA opened

- Leaked info to Boyd

- Misrepresented facts, witness statements to prosecutors

- Impaired the estate’s ability to pursue the wrongful-death litigation (that's at the State level)

- Deprived Spivey’s parents dignified treatment of Scott's remains

Mark Tinsley, John Nichols, and Natasha Hanna represent Plaintiffs.

Full Filing: U.S. District Court, Florence Division. Case No. 4:26-cv-03939-JD. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.scd.3… #ScottSpivey

"You can't opt out of Flock following you or recording photos & video of you or your car. But Flock can opt out of us recording them in public by calling one of their customers: the police. I was stopped by three officers after a Flock installer called 911." - Brendan Keefe

NEW FILING: Apparently, Judge Cristina Miranda denied Rashaun Jones the right to be present at his hearing last week.

This is from Rashaun Jones' written objection to the 9/3 "joint" continuance and a motion to correct the record.

The State asked to push the 9/14 murder trial over a "current investigation." The judge immediately called it a joint continuance. Then:

- Defense announced ready for trial

- Judge Miranda refused to let Sara Alvarez (Defense) speak "for record purposes"

- Christian Maroni (Defense) asked for two sentences on the record. This was denied.

- Judge Miranda said the lawyers were "not allowed to speak on the record" because they were represented by counsel

- Judge ordered Bonita Jones-Peabody (Defense) out of the courtroom, saying her actions were "all for show for the camera"

Jude Faccidomo filed as personal counsel for Alvarez, Jones-Peabody, and Maroni on a collateral inquiry. He does not represent Jones and he did not substitute in as counsel for Jones. Nobody has withdrawn or been disqualified.

Full motion: drive.google.com/file/d/1SpTyQxqwpHS12hrkUXGVKgk03…

There's also a hearing scheduled for this morning.
