Anyone know what the ‘tea’ stuff was about? Is it a reference to booze and drugs ?

I thought he must have been detoxing.

He’s done. She’s believable. Nothing more to see here. He’s an actor that can’t get out of character (forgot the term for this). She points out how he speaks poetically (rhapsodic prose). All the world’s a stage.

I hope that there are at least a couple of adults on the jury who will be annoyed by his little jokes and outbursts, and annoyed that he pushed for and got trial on front of the cameras so he could perform.

It is all so transparent.

And the world heaves a collective sigh of relief that you are clearly not a trial lawyer.

They're both repugnant. I wish the judge would just tell them to sod off and stay away from each other. This is a shameful waste of resources and people are worse off for having followed it.

I didn't know what to expect and I've remained silent while social media has been going crazy with Johnny support. And while I have always loved him, I really thought they were both "the bad guy". Maybe she was more unhinged and just put it out there to harm his reputation, but they were equally at fault. I'd hoped to dislike her and not believe her, but her stories are believable. I am still on the fence whether it deserved to be made public, when she was also a party to the violence, but I definitely am more understanding of her now. I'm even more uncomfortable with my female friends' Johnny-love. It reeks of exactly what the MeToo movement tried to turn around.

Are you? Or did you just bring your emotional support alpacas to the courthouse again?

Did I say I was? I merely pointed out that it’s a good thing someone who is so easily persuaded on direct examination is not a trial attorney. You just believe the last thing you see or hear.

Experienced criminal trial lawyer here, with decades of experience in domestic violence advocacy.

I was compelled by Depp’s testimony and other evidence in his case in chief and understood the social media support for him. However I am also finding Heard’s testimony compelling and doubtless she has other compelling evidence to present in her defense.

Virginia requires a unanimous verdict in civil trials so I predict that this either ends in a mistrial or ends in Heard winning. I think they both perpetrated domestic violence in the relationship and I wouldn’t bet money on who was the primary aggressor.

Kinda. She’s obviously acting it up for the jury. She does not come off as authentic.

I agree. To me, she sounds like a person who wants to be seen as a savior with lots of sighing...

"I don't know how much the drugs or alcohol were part of this..."

According to her so far, she did nothing wrong.

Maybe so but let’s roll the tape… his witnesses include his bodyguard, an easily flustered psychologist who concurs Heard does not exhibit PTSD, but a personality disorder. Mmmmkay, now do Depp.

“Let’s drown her before we burn her!!!” Depp wrote to actor Paul Bettany in June 2013. “I will f**k her burnt corpse afterwards to make sure she’s dead.”

Depp referred to himself as a “f**king savage” and a “lunatic,” and fantasized about killing Heard.

“Clearly I was having a bad time,” Depp said, adding that the video was “illegally recorded.” “I did assault a couple of cabinets but I did not touch Ms. Heard.”

Depp denied that he had ever hit any woman. He also alleged that Heard had repeatedly attacked him, and had thrown a bottle at him, severing the tip of his middle finger. Text evidence indicated that he had cut his own finger. In one of them, Depp wrote to his doctor that he had “chopped off my left middle finger as a reminder that I should never cut my finger off again.” IIRC he claimed to be protecting Heard when he lied to his doctor and probably the court.

She’s doing better than THAT deposition video suggests she would.
