Marco Marco vs. Erika Jayne Updates (Pt. 1)

Legal Team, we’re back with a major update on the Wendy Osefo case. Wendy is facing 16 criminal counts, and since our last episode she’s filed a wave of motions challenging the evidence against her.

We also unpack her original bid to sever her trial from Eddie’s (which they now want back to being consolidated), how marital confidentiality actually works, and the leading theories on what her defense strategy could be.   What’s on the Docket?   A breakdown of the 16 charges Wendy is facing  A detailed analysis of her many filings and what they reveal  Her dismissal and suppression arguments  Her (former) attempt to sever her trial from Eddie’s   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.
