I don't see how Depp doesn't win this. Heard has produced literally nothing of substance to substantiate the level of abuse alleged to have been levied by Depp.
Oh look. It's the "liar liar pants on fire" defense. She really needs to be charged with perjury once this trial is done.
Yes. Elaine completely lost track too, she looked up at the judge exasperated, judge told her objection was sustained and to move to next question, then Elaine said no more questions.
Yes, and the redirect is done... they're going into a video deposition after the break
It's insane. I see and hear everything, and still think JD will lose because fuck justice. I hope I'm wrong.
This case is about JD suing AH for defamation for that WaPo op-ed. Hard to prove.
Good news is: IMHO JD already won the court of public opinion.
For example, I was rooting for AH back then the op-ed was out, and did not quite follow the development, as many of us didn't. Now I am totally convinced that AH schemed this thing to gain for her lackluster career.
There is next to no chance he wins this unfortunately
I wonder if Amber loses that she tries to sue her lawyers for ineffective counsel or some bullshit.
I just wonder why they didn't touch on makeup and poop.
Is that the old guy from L.A. Noire in a dress and wig?
Not naming him directly is probably the main reason, it is one of those "everybody knows" things.
I actually think he does have a good chance, so do multiple lawyers covering the trial....
Please someone edit some mathematical equations into this gif. It's gold.
At this point how can a jury confidently say that the abuse reported in the op-ed actually occurred? Not when her timelines have been contradicted and they've been witness to the amount of lies and manipulative behaviors from her on the stand.
I get defamation is hard to prove, but Heard makes clear that the op-ed included content about Depp that she tries to elaborate on during this trial. If I'm a juror and go by the definition of defamation: oral or written communication of a false statement about another that unjustly harms their reputation and usually constitutes a tort or crime.
The evidence--and lack thereof--seems to support Depp's case of defamation. We know he's currently blacklisted and his reputation over the course of 5 years has been debased because of Heard's accusations.
I feel like the fact that she obviously got caught in a lie about tipping off TMZ is actually HUGE.
Enough, I don't know, but she outright lied...and there is NO DOUBT in the 2016 video she accidently told them TMZ had been tipped.
So there is darn good evidence she was actively working to harm him in the background.
I actually had tears from laughing so much when I heard "I'm trying, I'm trying".
That's the LAST thing you want to hear from your lawyer.

They should be. JD's side has accurately been displayed for the world to see, regardless of the trial outcome.
I think they know they've completely won the court of public opinions, which is the #1 reason Depp was fighting this fight in the first place.
Of course it would be disappointing if he doesn't win the case outright, but anything else should be treated as a bonus at this point.
They have a bunch of lawyers doing different witnesses. But you can absolutely expect Camille next to Ben Chew for closing arguments on final trial day.
If I would have done that I would have done it better.
"I didn't try to kill him, if I did he would be dead now"
The good news is, JD definitely getting more roles in recent two years, even deviating from the Jack Sparrow stereotype, for example, Minamata.
DAMN
the difference is staggering
Camille was able to maintain every question she wanted to ask, every piece of evidence, amber's lawyer is the exact opposite

That is big deal that Amber just walked out like that. Judge had told her to go sit next to her lawyers, also she didn't wait for jury to leave.
Major disrespect towards court, judge and jury.
Heard already threw them under the bus but her and her apologists/sycophants are going to be going in on her lawyers if she actually manages to lose this and call her a victim of an unjust legal system with incompetent representation and I'm sure there'll be an appeal.
It's not, it has to be taken in context. It's all about building a pile of evidence on the side of AH being a piece of shit to her partners while JD has not been.
It's about her character. The fact that she committed DV speaks to her character that she DID commit DV before yet she is claiming "she never hits anyone".
Love how Amber just stormed out of the court room after redirect ended, the lawyers covering this live are losing their shit over it.
1) She disobeyed the judge who ordered her to go sit next to her council until she finished with the jury instructions.
2) She didn't wait for the jury to walk out first.
They're saying that will hurt her case a lot.

Not far off.Every time I hear Vasquez, I think of Vasquez from Aliens 🤣:
This was her rolling her eyes after Amber's lawyer complained again lol
I can't stop laughing

The comparison seems pretty apt. Both are absolute badasses.
Huh, that witness just answered the most important question... he never saw Johnny hit her, period.
