Welcome back to this week's episode of the Emily show and today we are exploring a question that I get asked so much how is Amber heard paying for all of this.

How is she paying for the appeal how did she pay for her case and to do that we need to explore the insurance cases so if you have heard about the insurance cases and are wondering what's going on the reason I say cases is because there are two and we need to explore them now.

So today I'm breaking down both of the insurance cases and the judges statements at the June 24th hearing about the suspension bond and what Amber heard has to pay for her appeal so we just need to get into it it's it's multiple cases and it's look it's nerdy law interesting stuff and I can't wait to break it down so let's just get going.

So where we are so far in the johnny depth amber heard case is that johnny depth was kind of big winner after jury trial he won all three of his causes of action and one over 10 million dollars in damages it was 10 million in compensatory 5 million impunitive those are the punishment ones the punitive damages got reduced by law because in Virginia they're like you can't do that the max is 350,000 they don't tell the jury that so the jury awarded what they wanted to impunitives they thought five

million was punishment for the behavior I'm surprised they didn't pick seven like if they're going that high why not just pick seven that was pledged and not donated I don't know but they didn't so 10 and five reduced to 350 so 10.3 million amber heard one one of her causes of action against johnny depth for statements made by Adam Waldman though whenever the media talks about the fact that amber heard didn't even mention johnny depth's name they never seem to mention the fact that johnny depth didn't even say she

did but I digress it's one of the inconsistencies that has made me absolutely crazy and watching the reporting on this case amber heard didn't even say his name okay johnny depth didn't say anything so if we're keeping that energy I'm here for it with that we got into both parties filing their notice of appeal a notice of appeal means I'm going to appeal both of them filed the appropriate appeal bond of $500

the question is what about the suspension of judgment bond does it have to be filed or not and we're going to talk about what judge as karate had to say about that because there is still conflicting information about it we will see the deadline is going to be Monday before this episode's released but after it's recorded so we'll see what happens there will be a note check the show notes check my check if look whatever information comes out I will probably do a short about it over on the quick bits channel or on Instagram

or tiktok so check the socials there will be an update and we'll see so with that we have both parties filing notice of appeal each party has three months to file their brief the appellate brief what they're going to tell us about what they're going to you know if ever there was an episode to be sponsored by under did we talk about how good the man scaped underwear was in this episode because if we didn't their boxers you know they're not a brief but they're still great so with that the briefs are going to be a

bit harder to be filed within three months could they be filed sooner yes yes they could and that's going to lay out the law the rulings the issues that each party have this is why we think there needs to be a new trial this is why we think it should be less of a judgment award this is why the jury can't do what they did all of that stuff will be in the appellate brief and at that point we can evaluate the law and the facts as they're presenting it to the appellate court and then the judges or judge on the appellate court is going to decide what happens on appeal so that's where we're at.

With the appeal but because we know that amber heard had a judgment against her of over ten million dollars and because her lawyer Elaine went on all of the morning shows very quickly right after the verdict and talked about the fact that amber her doesn't have the money to pay the judgment the question came up what about the bond for the appeal and again the five hundred dollar bond to file the notice of appeal has been paid by both parties it seems based on the file.

But the judge talked about the suspension bond when the judge entered the judgment against amber heard and Johnny Depp on June 24th and we're going to take a look at that transcript right now so during the June 24th hearing they talked about whether things would be sealed or unsealed and we know and I've talked about previously that a bunch of things are going to be unsealed when that happens we'll start looking at those.

Documents they have been crowd funded by Andrea Burkhart over on Twitter who also has a YouTube channel is also a lawyer that's been covering this case for a substantial amount of time and I believe others are going to be obtaining them as well so we will at some point we will see them and we will cover them and go over them so when things get unsealed it's going to be thousands of pages of documents to go through I hope there's a group effort I need to reach out to the lawyers and be like how are we dividing the outlines.

I feel like law school what motions are people covering and what just divide up the work it's going to be so many documents but at the end of that hearing when they were talking about unsealing things then we have Ms. Brettoff Elaine saying and we will answer quote will look for it and we'll answer no later the next Friday when we file it with the post trial motions your honor the court says alright Elaine says on the seal the court says that's fine and when you appeal.

There will be a suspension bond to you understand that that's the court and when you appeal there will be a suspension bond to not a there may be not a you can ask for one there will be so it's my understanding based on what the judges saying in this case that the judge anticipates a suspension bond will be put into place Emily what does that mean okay real quick a suspension bond
