Quick Glance: How Justice Michael Lee unraveled the Higgins-Lehrmann 'Omnishambles'
  • Justice Michael Lee meticulously unpicked the complex allegations in the Lehrmann-Higgins case with sharp clarity and meticulous precision.

  • Lee assessed the truth question separately for the rape and cover-up allegations, finding the former proven and the latter not.

  • He criticized Ten, Wilkinson, and her team for inadequate research efforts and found the testimonies of Lehrmann and Higgins unconvincing.

  • Lee's judgment provides valuable insights for future defamation and sexual assault prosecutions as well as for media practice.

Quick Glance: U.N. Report: 'Reasonable Grounds' for Attacks in Israel Including Rapes
  • A United Nations report reveals 'reasonable grounds to believe' that the Hamas-led attacks on Israel on Oct. 7 involved sexual violence, such as rapes and gang rapes.

  • Based on interviews, photos, and footage, the report details rapes at multiple locations with warnings of ongoing violence. Challenges included lack of coordination among Israeli agencies and mishandling of evidence.

  • Despite some unverified accounts, the report found 'reasonable grounds to believe' that rapes occurred at various locations, emphasizing the need for further investigation.

  • Multiple incidents of rape, often followed by murder, were documented, indicating a disturbing pattern of sexual violence. The report underscores the urgency of addressing these heinous crimes.

Quick Glance: Judge's Approval of Trump's $91 Million Bond
  • A federal judge signed off on former President Trump’s approximately $91 million appeal bond in advice columnist E. Jean Carroll’s defamation lawsuit on Tuesday.

  • Carroll did not oppose Trump’s bond application after his lawyers agreed to make one change to the conditions.

  • The approval of Trump’s bond by U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan, who oversaw the litigation, allows the former president to continue fighting his staggering defamation judgment and prevents Carroll from taking steps to enforce it.

  • It is indicated indirectly that the major insurance company Chubb underwrote Trump’s bond, but it remains unclear what cash or collateral the former president was required to put down.
