Mark Fuhrman, pivotal O.J. Simpson trial figure, dies at 74

Former Los Angeles Police Detective Mark Fuhrman, whose testimony in the 1995 O.J. Simpson murder trial was challenged after a recording revealed racial slurs, has died at 74 in Idaho. He was convicted of perjury in 1996 for lying on the stand, later retired from the LAPD, and moved to a 20‑acre Idaho farm with his family, later working as a TV/radio commentator and author. The Simpson case ended with a criminal acquittal for Simpson but a 1997 civil verdict finding him liable for the deaths; the piece notes Simpson died in 2024 of prostate cancer in Las Vegas.

Civil suit opens in Westlake Village crash that killed Iskander brothers

Opening statements begin in a civil case brought by the Iskander family against Rebecca Grossman and former Dodgers pitcher Scott Erickson over the 2020 Westlake Village crosswalk crash that killed 11-year-old Mark and 8-year-old Jacob; Grossman is already serving a 15-year sentence after being convicted of two counts of second-degree murder, while Erickson’s role is disputed as the plaintiffs allege street racing and impairment contributed to the deaths and that Erickson fled the scene; the case seeks financial damages for the boys’ family.

Civil Trial Looms for Baldwin Over Rust Shooting Negligence

A judge ordered Alec Baldwin to proceed to a civil trial in October over alleged negligence for firing a gun on the Rust set, allowing Serge Svetnoy’s emotional-distress claim and other negligence and punitive-damages claims to move forward, even as Baldwin’s manslaughter case was dismissed in 2024 and Rust Movie Productions argued about set-safety liability; the Oct. 12 trial date could test whether Baldwin, the production, or both are deemed responsible for the fatal 2021 shooting on the Santa Fe set.

Cosby hit with $59 million verdict in California civil case over 1972 assault

A California civil jury found Bill Cosby liable for drugging and sexually assaulting Donna Motsinger in 1972, awarding a total of $59.25 million: $17.5 million in past damages, $1.75 million for future damages, and $40 million in punitive damages, after a two-week Santa Monica trial. Cosby’s lawyers said they will appeal. Motsinger described finally being heard after decades, as the case adds to the wave of #MeToo-era scrutiny surrounding Cosby and parallels earlier lawsuits and his overturned Pennsylvania conviction.

Spacey Settles With Accusers Ahead of London Civil Trial

Kevin Spacey settled with three men who sued him over alleged sexual assaults spanning 2000–2013, avoiding a London civil trial that had been scheduled for October. Spacey denies all allegations and was previously acquitted in a UK criminal case in 2023; settlement terms were not disclosed. One accuser, Ruari Cannon, publicly described a 2013 groping, and another plaintiff who had filed a 2022 civil case had that matter paused during Spacey’s criminal proceedings.

Spacey Confirms Sexual Compulsive Diagnosis Amid House of Cards Insurance Trial

Kevin Spacey testified in a California civil trial over an insurance claim tied to the House of Cards hiatus, confirming a 2017 diagnosis of “sexual compulsive behavior” after voluntary rehab at The Meadows. He read the psychiatric summary aloud, said there was no medical basis to challenge the diagnosis, and defended the treatment aimed at addressing sexual behavior and boundaries, while disputing certain doctors’ notes. The case pits Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company against Spacey’s former show's production company over coverage and losses, with Spacey having previously been involved in arbitration that led to a $31 million payment (reduced in a later settlement) in exchange for medical records and testimony.
