The ruling in Johnny Depp's recent defamation case came up as both sides addressed whether Brian's parents concealed information about Gabby's death
At the center of arguments made Wednesday was a statement released by the Laundrie family's lawyer Steve Bertolino on September 14 -- after Gabby's disappearance but before her body had been found -- which read"it is our hope that the search for Miss Petito is successful and that Miss Petito is reunited with her family." Gabby's family said in their filing it was"beyond outrageous" for them to"express their 'hope' ...
The judge pushed back though, saying that by releasing a statement, they weren't remaining silent and that lawyers are the agents of their clients."Aren't we responsible for the words that we say, when we say them?" asked the judge."Johnny Depp just got found civilly liable for defamation for what his attorney said, right?"
"What I knew, or what Chris and Roberta knew, we did not have to disclose, to any third party, and specifically to law enforcement, or the Petito family," he said."I did everything the right way. We have no regrets. The parents did everything the right way, and they have no regrets."
