2/4 of those aren't exactly as you're thinking of them.
> The Supreme Court just stopped the deal that would have let the Sackler family, the OxyContin pushers, off the hook personally.
Note, they didn't stop the deal. They temporarily paused it while they hear the case later this year. [0]
> Hunter Biden's no-jail plea deal was rejected, and he goes to trial.
Wasn't directly rejected, the judged asked questions which gave answers that hunters team felt they didn't agree to, including that he is still the subject of ongoing investigations. [1]
> At one point, Noreika asked whether the investigation was ongoing, to which Weiss responded that it was but said he could not share any further details.
> Noreika also raised a hypothetical, asking whether Biden could face charges of failing to register as a foreign agent and whether the agreement blocks his prosecution on such a charge. The defense said it believed the agreement would prohibit him from being charged, and the prosecution then disagreed.
> Clark was overheard telling a prosecutor, "Then we'll rip it up," most likely in a reference to the plea deal, as they discussed the disagreement during a brief break before he eventually relented.
