This is a spicy opinion episode (let me say its an opinion based on facts) about why I do not think Amber Heard is even close to as credible as Pinocchio.  Today we’re talking about all of Amber’s factual discrepancies especially in light of the new evidence we’re seeing at this Virginia trial.  If you want to stay unbiased I suggest skipping this one.  But hey, theres a reason why we call her Amber Terd and you’re about to find out why.

Check the links below for all the evidence discussed during this episode and if your mind hasn’t already changed on this saga - I think this will be a game changer.

Welcome to Season 3 (trial 2) of Legally Dirty Blonde! I say this from the get in this episode but I’ll admit my bias on this case one more time.  I wasn’t going to cover this because of my lifelong love for Johnny Depp  but honestly the amount of nonsense that has gone on  and has been shared about this needs and deserves some explanation.  There is so much to cover in this case it is nearly impossible for anyone to get it all in (even the lawyers litigating it in court).  So hang in there with me and I promise we will get to all of the evidence and I will explain it as we go.  But for now we are just talking background and what went on before the trial.

So today we talk about a few things: 
1) The background of Johnny and Amber’s relationship & how we ended up on CourtTV in a defamation suit 
2) Johnny’s defamation claims & suit seeking $50 mill and Amber Heard’s counterclaims for defamation seeking $100mill 
3) AH’s  pretrial motions seeking dismissal and  the Judge’s opinion schooling AH’s legal team for their arguably frivolous motion based on the UK defamation case JD brought against The Sun
4) A SUPER important pretrial motion by Johnny’s team about AH’s failure to comply with the Judge’s order directing her to turn over all her devices (phones etc) and photos showing her alleged injuries and damages to the apartment and his team asking for sanctions for being prejudiced by not having these extremely relevant items of discovery before the trial began (SUSPECT) 
5) What will both sides have to prove to prove Defamation in Virginia (& the additional hurdle for public figures - actual malice)

So like I said - trying to keep it unbiased but next, I will be doing an episode  that is full of some of my bias (and mainly the facts) about why AH is in no way credible.  I will mark that one as bias if you want to skip it and keep a more juror like perspective.

Today we answer a question that confuses a lot of people: Does twitter violate your first amendment right to free speech if they censor your tweet, suspend you or ban you because of your tweet?
If you want to know the answer, you’ll have to listen to this quickie episode.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a fierce defender of free speech and the first amendment and I will argue with just about anyone who wants to engage with me on the topic. So this episode is a brief explanation of free speech and how it applies specifically in the context of social media apps like twitter.

This week, Elon Musk purchased a 9.2% stake in twitter and it sent people on twitter from both sides of the party line into a tizzy.  As you may know, Elon holds himself out to be a proponent of free speech and has often expressed his concerns that Twitter censors and regulates too much of the user’s content.  His purchase was celebrated by the right, and condemned by the left, and as you can imagine there were a whole lot of arguments about this. I  saw a lot of opinions on free speech this week that were just straight up wrong and when I polled my own followers I realized that the first amendment and the protections it gives us are confused by a lot of people.  So thats why we’re here- hopefully this super quickie episode can clear that up for anyone who isn’t exactly sure if they know how it works.  And listen, if this is confusing to you - don’t you worry because its not all common sense and by the end of this episode I promise you’ll get it.

Next episode we’re doing a much deeper dive into the First Amendment protections of free speech and specifically we’re going to discuss the overused and (more often than not) misused phrase of “YOU CANT JUST YELL FIRE IN A CROWDED THEATRE”.  So if you’re interested in learning if you can or cannot yell fire in crowded theatre, come back for the next episode too!

If anyone is still confused or has more questions or just wants to argue with me about the first amendment, I am here for that so feel free to reach out!

It has been a minute friends but I’m happy we’re back and ready to discuss the chaos that was the Oscars this year.  Today we are getting into some of the terrible legal takes I saw on twitter this week about Will Smith slapping the shit out of Chris Rock.  We start with the issue of why legally this wasn’t an assault in the way you think it was, move onto “victimless crimes” and close out with my favorite topic of free speech and the first amendment.  So come hang and listen to some pop culture legal analysis.

So we’ve finally arrived at Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Org - the case currently pending before SCOTUS that will ultimately decide the right to abortion in our country and may change how many of us have known those rights to exist since we were born.  So this episode we’re analyzing the case from a strictly legal perspectives but stay tuned for next episode where I get a little more personal with you guys and a whole lot more opinionated (and honestly probably a whole lot more entertaining for you guys).

Did that episode title get your attention? GOOD because this is important people - on the anniversary of Roe v Wade we’re here to discuss another extremely important SCOTUS decision on abortion that in some ways supported Roe’s holding but overturned it in other ways - and thats Planned Parenthood v Casey.  So put your thinking caps on because I am about to drop some knowledge on you guys

Okay people if you were looking for a really speedy and basic legal understanding of the SCOTUS holding in Roe v Wade - look no further because you have just hit the jackpot.  On this episode we discuss the legal reasoning behind the SCOTUS’ decision in this landmark abortion rights case and I certainly try my best not to confuse anyone any further.  That being said - if I confused you, please reach out and lets talk because this is a really important issue and I think we all deserve to understand it from a legal perspective regardless of  personal or political beliefs.  Below I’ve linked the Court’s entire opinion, the fourteenth amendment and some articles on due process if you feel like you want to be a con law nerd with me.
