Jacob Zuma Vs State Advocate Billy Downer Hearing
Former president Jacob Zuma's legal team are trying to get State Advocate Billy Downer removed from the arms deal corruption case that Zuma is facing. Judge Nkosinathi Chili has taken over from Judge Piet Koen after he announced his recusal from the case because of comments he made in a previous failed bid aimed at removing Downer. Zuma's application for Downer's removal from the case is expected to be based on the fact that the former president has instituted a private prosecution against the prosecutor for allegedly illegally 'leaking' confidential medical information to the press.

Jack Kowalski Vs Johns Hopkins Medical Center Trial
Jack Kowalski (on behalf of his children Maya and Kyle and the estate of his late wife Beata) has filed a lawsuit against Johns Hopkins All Children's Medical Center (JHACH) which treated his children beginning in 2015. Jack Kowalski claims that the hospital's treatment and accusations of child abuse against his wife Beata led her to take her own life in Jan. 2017. Maya was initially admitted to JHACH in July 2015 for a severe asthma attack but began experiencing severe pain and weakness. In Sept. 2015, Maya was diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, a neuropathic disease that according to the lawsuit is 'generally caused by damage to or malfunction of the central nervous system'. To treat the diagnosis, Maya was given Ketamine infusion treatments. In Oct. 2016, Maya began to experience abdominal pain and vomiting and was taken back to JHACH for treatment. Beata asked for Maya to be given the appropriate dosages of pain medications she needed. A social worker employed by JHACH reported Beata to the DCF Child Abuse Hotline, claiming that Beata was interfering with Maya's treatment and there was a disagreement about dosages of Ketamine. The hospital then tried to fight Jack and Beata when they tried to remove Maya from the hospital. The lawsuit accuses the hospital of working with its staff to 'imprison' Maya without legal justification and barring her family from visiting. The resulting prolonged separation from their suffering daughter manifested in Beata's depression, fatigue, and overwhelming sense of hopelessness.

Cara Rintala Trial
Cara Rintala is accused in the death of her wife Annamarie Cochrane Rintala, who was found beaten and strangled in the basement of the couple's Granby home on March 29, 2010. According to the medical examiner's ruling, Annamarie died of manual strangulation. The proceeding will make the mother of one, only the second person in the state's recent history to stand trial for murder four times. Cara Rintala's first trial in 2013 and second trial in 2014 ended in mistrials because the deadlocked juries could not reach a unanimous verdict. At her third trial in 2016, Cara was convicted of Annamarie's murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole. That conviction, however, was overturned by Massachusetts' highest court, which stated that a witness for the prosecution who testified about paint evidence found at the scene 'lacked the necessary expertise'. According to testimony from previous trials, Cochrane-Rintala, 37, was found at the bottom of their basement staircase, beaten and bloodied, cold to the touch and covered in paint. First responders found Rintala cradling her wife at the foot of the stairs.

Joe Biden Impeachment Inquiry Hearing
House Republicans are holding an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. The hearing before the House Oversight Committee will feature four witnesses, three called by Republicans. The focus will be to present findings from months of GOP-led investigations with the overall goal of explaining why an inquiry is warranted and that Joe Biden was involved in or personally profited from his family's foreign business dealings, or that he improperly influenced policy based on them when he served as vice president. The three Republican witnesses are Bruce Dubinsky, a forensic accountant; Eileen O'Connor, a former Assistant Attorney General, United States Department of Justice Tax Division; and Jonathan Turley, a professor of law at George Washington University and a Fox News contributor. Democrats have called Michael Gerhardt, a constitutional law professor at the University of North Carolina, to testify. Gerhardt served as special counsel to the presiding officer of former President Donald Trump's second impeachment trial. Chairman James Comer has pledged to soon subpoena bank records and other documents for Hunter Biden and James Biden, the president's son and brother. Comer and other top Republicans have said they believe the bank documents could be a smoking gun in the case. According to the committee, Hunter Biden received two wires in 2019 totalling $260,000. Abbe Lowell, an attorney for Hunter Biden, said 'This was a documented loan (not a distribution or pay-out) that was wired from a private individual to his new bank account which listed the address on his driver's license, his parents address, because it was his only permanent address at the time'. The White House has insisted that Biden has done nothing wrong.
