Below Deck Under Fire: The Gary King Lawsuit

Well Legal Team, we recorded this before the news broke that Erika settled, which is HUGE news and brings an anticlimatic ending to this 4 year-long legal battle . Last episode, we went through the claims that were going to the judge, and now we are tackling the claims that were going to the jury. Even though the trial won’t take place, we hope this episode still provides knowledge and understanding around why this $25 million lawsuit was sold, what claims against Erika were being pursued by the plaintiff, the key witnesses from each side, and what Erika’s defenses would have been. What’s on the docket?Proposed duration of the trialWho are the key witnessesBackground on how expert witnesses are paid/handledThe claims going to the juryThe plaintiff's key evidenceHow plaintiff must prove that the transfers to EJ Global were fraudulentBreaking down avoidance of fraudulent transfers and constructive intentHow plaintiff must prove that using the embezzled client trust account funds and firm operational funds to pay for the personal expenses constitutes a wrongful disposition of Girardi Keese propertyWhat Erika’s attorneys’ arguments will beAccount stated claims and what they entailWhy was the lawsuit even sold at allWhat jury selection is likeWhat does the jury questionnaire look like for this caseErika’s attorney’s complaints about not having proper information to submit on timeErika’s attorney’s and plaintiff’s motions in limine Access additional content and our Patreon here: ⁠https://zez.am/thebravodocket⁠   The Bravo Docket podcast, the statements we make whether in our own media or elsewhere, and any content we post are for entertainment purposes only and do not provide legal advice.
