The judge said that if Amber appealed, she should post a bail of the full amount of Johnny PLUS ‘6% decision – an additional $ 621,000. It is estimated that 6% is a penalty for late collection interest.

As for Amber, her representative issued a statement referring to the hearings in the House of Representatives on January 6, stating … she would indeed appeal, saying: “As stated at yesterday’s congressional hearings, you are not asking for pardon if they are innocent. And don’t refuse to appeal if you know you’re right. “

The reality is … appealing a jury verdict is a big climb and it may turn out to be throwing good money after bad.
