Quick Bits: Another Amber Heard Appeal. Donna Adelson Gets A Trial Date. Bryan Kohberger Updates

Amber Heard appealed the court's dismissal of her claims against her insurer, New York Marine, for not providing her independent counsel to defend against Johnny Depp. New York Marine argued that they were not obligated to provide Heard with independent counsel and, therefore, hadn’t breached their agreement with her. Donna Adelson was back in court for case management. The trial will begin at the end of September 2024 and she will have two court appearances before that for case status. Bryan Kohberger will also be back in court at the end of February for arguments over DNA and to hopefully set a trial date. In the Petito v Laundrie Civil Case, motions for summary argument have been filed by Steven Bertolino and the Laundries. Now that discovery and depositions are completed, the motions for Summary Judgement will allow the judge to determine if a jury trial is needed in May 2024. The fight for whether or not the TikTok Defamation case will settle upon Summary Judgement is ongoing. If the judge finds the TikToker liable for defamation, the jury trial will only be on damages.
