The civil case between the parents of Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie has been reluctantly settled prior to a full jury trial. In my coverage of this lawsuit, I went through the motions for summary judgment but not the depositions.
Today, I am covering the submitted depositions from attorney Steven Bertolino, as well as Christopher and Roberta Laundrie. We hear how they respond to the pointed questions about what they knew, their involvement in the case, and what they thought when Brian called them before the investigation into Gabby's disappearance.
I also cover the sentencing of Ruby Franke & Jodi Hildebrandt. They will both be imprisoned for at least 4 years, with a maximum penalty of 30 years. The final decision on that sentence will be determined by a Parole Board at a later date.

0:00.0 | Welcome back to this week's episode of the Emily show. Today we're going to be talking very, very briefly about the Frankie Hildebrand sentencing just so I can let you know what they were sentenced to why it's frustrating what the judge had to say really brief. |

0:51.8 | If you are looking for updates on the Rust trial, those are on the Quick Bits channel over on YouTube, and you can watch me daily streaming during the trial over on the Emily D Baker channel. That was a lot of places to tell you if you just want to keep on top of the things just the Lonerd app will just tell you where I am daily because trial time is not real time. I was telling my friend, Judge Abbey, that I felt like I was actually in trial and I had to be late a day, I had to leave early a day, and I'm like, why am I so stressed? I'm not the lawyers. |
1:25.7 | I'm not actually in trial, but it feels like we're in trial and it feels like you're on jury duty. |
1:30.4 | It does. It's just, we're in in trial now and so we're in trial time. Things get a little wonky. |
1:36.4 | Sometimes meals don't get eaten at regular times and emails go unanswered. It's fine. |
1:40.9 | It's trial time. But right now it's podcast time, so let's get into it. |
