5/27/202655 min
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 trial
- Who are the key witnesses
- Background on how expert witnesses are paid/handled
- The claims going to the jury
- The plaintiff's key evidence
- How plaintiff must prove that the transfers to EJ Global were fraudulent
- Breaking down avoidance of fraudulent transfers and constructive intent
- How 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 property
- What Erika’s attorneys’ arguments will be
- Account stated claims and what they entail
- Why was the lawsuit even sold at all
- What jury selection is like
- What does the jury questionnaire look like for this case
- Erika’s attorney’s complaints about not having proper information to submit on time

So like I shared before, I'm starting my conception journey, fingers crossed there. But that's all to say that I don't know a lot about raising an infant, raising a baby, being pregnant, the whole shebang. The one thing I do know, and I've known for a while, is that Nanit is top tier, that, like, you need a Nanit when you have an infant. I texted my friend about Nanit saying, "Hey, they're one of our podcast sponsors. I know you use it. What do you think?" And she said she's absolutely obsessed, like she couldn't have done it without her Nanit. And I get it. I get why. Nanit really does it all. You only need one thing, which is nice, especially when you're raising a kid. There's so many things on your brain. It's nice to just have one thing that does it all. The Nanit Smart Baby Monitor system tracks everything automatically with crystal clear HD video, breathing motion monitoring, sleep tracking, real-time safety alerts, and personalized sleep insights in one seamless system. What I like about the Nanit is it lets my friends separate themselves from their baby. They don't have to freak out about not being right on top of their kid all the time. It lets them be present, and I appreciate that it lets my friends have that balance. You can get 20% off the Nanit Smart Baby Monitor system, including the new eight-inch home display. Plus, you get a free travel case with code BRAVO. Expectant listeners, add Nanit to your baby registry on Amazon or Baby List. And if you have expecting or new parent friends, buy Nanit for them. They will be so grateful.
