[USA Today] * A lawyer representing accusers of Jeffrey Epstein says that Maxwell will never reveal the full connections between Prince Andrew and Epstein. [New York Post] * The New York Attorney General has ordered a Black Lives Matter organization to stop soliciting donations in the state since the organization did not comply with the proper registrations. [New York Daily News] * A defendant is being granted a new trial because the judge asked the witness too many questions. This is kind of reminiscent of a famous scene from The Verdict. [New York Law Journal] * Charges have been filed against the woman who alleged to authorities that she was in danger from a black birdwatcher in Central Park in May. [BBC] * An attorney, who is now sick with COVID-19, claims a judge ordered her to court even though she told the court her COVID-19 test was pending and she was showing symptoms.
