| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to a special episode of the Emily show talking about the verdict in the Johnny |
| 0:06.3 | Deb Amber her defamation case. Yes, there is still an episode coming with my breakdown of closing |
| 0:13.2 | arguments because there's a lot there to dissect and I'm looking forward to doing it in hindsight |
| 0:18.8 | now that we know what the jury has decided. But first we're going to start this show with a quote |
| 0:23.6 | from Johnny Deb on Instagram, truth never parishes. And with that, let's get into this episode |
