DA ‘checks out’ of ‘Hotel California’ lyrics case mid-trial after rocker Don Henley discloses 6,000 pages of new evidence late
The criminal case against three men accused of a scheme involving allegedly stolen lyrics to The Eagles’ iconic hit “Hotel California” imploded mid-trial Wednesday after the band’s frontman Don Henley disclosed new evidence that cast doubt on the prosecution.In a stunning turn of events, Justice Curtis Farber dropped the charges faced by rare-books dealer Glenn Horowitz, ex-Rock & Roll Hall of Fame curator Craig Inciardi and memorabilia seller Edward Kosinki — finding that Henley “manipulated” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office by failing to turn over 6,000 pages of key evidence until midway through the trial.Henley and his lawyers tried to weaponize their attorney-client privilege to “hide information that they believed would be damaging,” Farber said at a hearing Wednesday morning in Manhattan Supreme Court.The judge signed off on Manhattan prosecutors’ bid to toss the charges in light of the new evidence, which a courthouse source told The Post included emails from Henley that cast doubt on his claim that the handwritten lyrics to “Hotel California” and other valuable merchandise had been stolen.“We are checking out and leaving the courtroom,” said Stacey Richman, Craig Inciardi’s lawyer, on Wednesday — in a reference to the song’s famous line “you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.”The new evidence surfaced after Henley and Irving Azoff, the Eagles’ longtime manager, repeatedly cited — against prosecutors’ “express and repeated requests” — their “privilege” to keep communications with their lawyers secret while taking the stand as witnesses at the trial, the DA’s office said.But the pair “waived” that privilege in the last few days, leading to “the belated production of

John Oates declares he’s ‘deeply hurt’ over Daryl Hall lawsuit — as lawyers battle in court
John Oates has filed a first-person declaration defending himself after his longtime music partner and one-half of Hall & Oates, Daryl Hall, has accused him of trying to sell his part of their music rights.“Far from becoming ‘adversarial and aggressive instead of professional and courteous,’ as Daryl has claimed, over the last 50 years I have always devoted my energy to ensuring that both the public and the music industry perceive the Hall & Oates music and brand in the most positive light,” Oates, 75, said in his court documents, obtained by Billboard.Oates claims that the pair “have not seen eye to eye,” but he has presented “opportunities to improve and protect the business and artistic integrity of the partnership.”“In fact, Daryl has become unwilling to work with me to try to protect the marks and other intellectual property that we spent decades building,” he continued to allege.“[Just Hall has] consistently and publicly been adamant about being perceived as an individual rather than as part of a duo or group,” he went on,” and “now [I] must act with truthfulness and make decisions that are right for myself, my family, and my artistic future.”On Nov. 16, Hall, 77, and his organization, the Daryl Hall Revocable Trust, filed an initial lawsuit against Oates’ trust, the John W.

Tory Lanez's Appeal for a New Trial Rejected by Judge
Tory Lanez's appeal for a new trial, almost four months after he was found guilty of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, discharging a firearm with gross negligence and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle.The rapper's lawyers filed a motion for a new trial on March 29, arguing that he was deprived of a fair trial. His sentencing date has not yet been revealed.The case continues more than two years after Megan Thee Stallion, whose real name is Megan Pete, accused the rapper of shooting her in the feet as they were leaving a party in July 2020.According to reporting by Jose Baez and Matthew Barhoma cited multiple grounds for the appeal, including a claim that the judge «erroneously allowed» jurors to view a September 2020 Instagram post from Lanez's personal account claiming Megan's now-estranged best friend, Kelsey Harris, was not the shooter.The motion also alleged that the prosecution interfered with Lanez's right to counsel with a line of questioning to Harris, a key witness, regarding accusations that Lanez tried to bribe Harris. In September 2022, Harris had a lengthy interview with investigators, but backtracked parts of her testimony during the trial, citing anxiety and postpartum depression for her inconsistency. Baez reportedly claims prosecutors used a photo showing Lanez's chest tattoo of a firearm to insinuate to the jury that the rapper has a fondness for guns and «impermissibly chilled» his right to testify by ruling that if he testified, the state could introduce his rap lyrics and a music video under cross-examination.In response, the prosecution said the motion lacked substance and the guilty verdict should stand, according to NBC News.
