Laura Owens

She...

And spoiler, that was just the beginning.

To find out how it ends, listen to the OK Storytime podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Over the past year, Laura's found herself in quite the bind.

She's facing a complicated patchwork of consequences, and it can be hard to follow.

That's because we're talking about cases across two states, Arizona and California.

We're talking about multiple different court systems, civil courts, family courts, and now criminal courts.

So I want to regroup and give you an overview of what Laura's up against.

In June 2024, Clayton won his family court case against Laura.

That's a civil court judgment.

Along with her judgment, Judge Mata ordered Laura to pay Clayton's legal fees, a number that after Laura's failed appeals is nearing $200,000.

Then, seven months later, in January 2025, the police raided Laura's family home in Arizona to serve a search warrant.

By that summer, she was indicted in Arizona on seven felony charges.

That's the criminal system.

You know, the one that sentences people to prison.

Here's Clayton.

Even after seven felony charges, Laura still decided to renew her domestic violence restraining order against Mike Maricini.

This one in the San Francisco court system.

It's a civil case, but for Mike, it's a legal battle he's been fighting for almost 10 years.

And while she battled Mike in court, the prosecutors in Arizona weren't quite done with her yet.
