  • RICO and Sex Trafficking
    Jul 14 2025

    Welcome to Gavel Gossip with us, Leslie and Kristan! In this episode, we're delving into the shocking legal battles surrounding Sean "Diddy" Combs and the legal claims of RICO and sex trafficking. We'll start by breaking down the details of the criminal indictment against him, including RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) and sex trafficking charges he was found not guilty. We explain the difference between criminal and civil cases and why being not guilty in criminal court won’t change his civil cases. We will cover the criminal indictment and the alleged trafficking that formed the basis of the RICO charges.


    Then, we dive deep into the civil complaint that started the avalanche of complaint and criminal case against Diddy - filed by Cassie Ventura. We discuss the disturbing allegations from her complaint of sexual abuse, domestic violence and other allegations of violence Cassie Ventura alleged to prove her claims of sex trafficking against Diddy. We also discuss how Combs allegedly used his power and wealth to manipulate and isolate Ventura, even going so far as to control her medical records and film her during forced sexual encounters or “Freak Offs”. Join us as we dissect the legal drama, discuss why victims often stay in abusive situations, and explore the broader implications of these events.

  • Medical Malpractice - Part 3 - Pete Hamilton and Dennis Quaid
    Jul 6 2025

    Welcome back to "Gavel and Gossip" for the thrilling conclusion of our medical malpractice series. This episode, we're diving into two more fascinating cases, each highlighting different critical aspects of medical malpractice.

    First, we tackle the shocking case of Pete Hamilton, a NASCAR legend whose medical ordeal highlights the severe consequences of a doctor leaving something inside him that said "DO NOT IMPLANT" and the defense that even if the doctor left something inside Pete Hamilton it did not cause his injuries! We also delve into the rarely discussed "loss of consortium" claim brought by Hamilton's wife, offering a peek into the intimate details legal battles can uncover.

    Next, we delve into the alarming case involving Dennis Quaid's newborn twins. This segment uncovers a critical medication error where infants were given a dangerously high dose of Heparin instead of the prescribed HEPLOC. We discuss the horrifying details of how this preventable mistake occurred due to strikingly similar packaging and a failure in hospital procedures, despite prior warnings within the medical community. We highlight the Quaid family's advocacy for patient safety, which led to significant changes in medication packaging and hospital protocols.

    Join us as we dissect these compelling cases, explore complex legal principles, and uncover the real-world impact of medical negligence. Tune in to "Gavel and Gossip" for more eye-opening discussions!
