"A Better Job of DISTRACTING the Jury" - Lawyer REACTION and Analysis

[@nycmermaid3158]

Absolutely agree. Amber herself is always attempting to “distract” or gaslight in any and every conversation. She can’t stop.

[@citadelofwinds1564]

Indeed. She assumes everyone else does what she does. She is incapable of understanding concepts like honesty and integrity.

[@zagor1453]

Cant believe she is still trying ggv to defends her own lies

[@basementdwellers5688]

She appears to take as a given that lawyers are supposed to “distract” juries away from the real issues of a case, and that is how they win. What we regard as unethical she sees as an advantage.

[@paulmurgatroyd6372]

She needs Penn and Teller as lawyers to get any traction in this case.

[@bromleykatly]

She seems to line up really well with the principle that 'a thief is someone who thinks that everyone steals'. Just thinking about it now has reminded me of the way she had asked that man on the way back from Aussie with her smth like 'had he ever been so angry with someone that he'd just lost it?' and then when he replied no, from what I remember he said, she didn't seem to believe him

[@JS-bt8ul]

You are absolutely right. Her defense was based on lies and that means distracting everyone from the truth. That was obvious when watching the trial and the jury saw it too and the reason why she lost. She still does what she does best- manipulating and lying. Probably has lifelong experience.

[@Andy-df5fj]

The public saw even more evidence than the jury so who does she think she's fooling? We all heard her admit to cutting off his finger tip on that recording that wasn't admitted into evidence because of other people in the recording. We also heard her admit she accused him because she had 21 days before being evicted. She needs to give it a rest. The world is done believing her lies.

[@sarahlogan942]

Agreed n the plots to kill text between her n Josh Drew n the pic msg of the 4 knives within those plots to kill him

[@zedmelor8842]

Why is the need for that 21 days as it opens up problems for opportunist like Amber! I just don't understand. I am getting so frustrated with Amber and her continuous lies...

[@GratifyMeNow13]

The 21 days was a ruse to cover up the fact that she did it out of malice.

[@MrsBadger]

@@GratifyMeNow13 and greed

[@slister45]

She had millions of dollars to her name at the time! She could have bought a house and moved anywhere she wanted to. Her mooching friends, on the other hand, might have been a little more strapped for cash and had nowhere to go. Hey. They were no worse off than they were when they moved into Johnny's penthouse apartments rent free. It makes me really angry when I think about how much Amber and her friends (including her sister) took advantage of, and actually stole from, Johnny. What goes around comes around, though. Karmic balance must always be maintained. They will not fare well.

[@ClaraLuaK]

I thought the same! She could've said JD team did a better job "convincing" the jury...but yet again her mind cant keep up with so many lies and another true slipped right out!!

[@bjdouma]

Her projection shows her utter contempt and disregard for the jury's finding.

[@KyaniMosaic_Crone]

That is exactly what she means. It's not a slip, it was intentional projection & gaslighting. I'm no Dr Curry but I've had to spend 50 years with a mother who was only diagnosed as Malignant Narcissism & Histrionic 10 years ago. My abusive ex is diagnosed as Malignant Narcissism with Sociopathic Tendencies AND suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury of his frontal lobe when he was an Army Ranger with the 82nd Airborne. He has to be on testosterone therapy for the rest of his life because that Injury resulted in scar tissue on his pituitary gland. So we have roid rage to deal with now as well. My current husband's ex wife is diagnosed as BPD & Histrionic, the same as Dr Curry diagnosed Amber. His ex wife is also the great great granddaughter of Devil Anse Hatfield's youngest daughter Rose. If you know anything about American History in the Appalachian area you'll know the history of the Hatfield's & McCoys. That right there in a nutshell sums up how "Special" she's been for the last 10 years. She even bragged to the Judge that she's not only a proud b*tch, she's a proud b*tch with a pedigree. I went No Contact with my mother 12 years ago & for the most part it's been lovely. The only exception being when she & my ex team up & take turns making false reports to CPS. They make them anonymously but just like Amber is projecting what her lawyers were doing I deal with the same thing. All 9 of the false reports of me being an abusive & neglectful mother ARE ALL things my mother did to me. Often times she even goes as far as saying it happened at the same place she abused ME. That used to be extremely painful because by accusing ME of it my mother is admitting she knows what she did was abuse. If there is anything I have learned to take away from this though it's to PAY ATTENTION. They all like to think they are so clever & so unique yet they pull the exact same dirty tricks. You have to learn to laugh at how pathetically predictable they all are. 1 it helps you keep your sanity & 2 it takes the pain out of their ploy & empowers YOU.

[@winxclubstellamusa]

I hope you have healed your codependency so that you stop attracting cluster bs once and for all! Just one is destructive enough. I hope you have healed. Healing is 100% possible. I did it.

[@jhart3983]

Right on! That's exactly how I understood it. "We were trying to distract the jury from the real issues, they were just better at it"

[@brigittesaunders3943]

That was my first impression over that remark. Think through a narcissistic mind. Take a mental walk as one & you will figure out how they rationalize their perception of reality & events. I watched the trial from beginning to end. I did a study on her mannerisms & behaviour/ reactions. There is a facial pattern that goes with certain verbiage. She has a definite pattern. I see it played out in the interview. I know jokes have been made about bad acting (made plenty of those myself). I had to rethink that. She's insecure. So why not use some of her learned acting skills to be credible. She's playing a part. Her perception of reality isn't that of a rational thinking person. So any confirmation of her behaviour only solidifies that she is right & everyone is wrong. Now we get her gaslighting. She in her mind won the UK why not this one. If she can get what she wants in the court of public opinion, it absolves all judgement in the court of law. In her mind.

[@victoriashuttleworth1881]

That’s exactly what she meant. Her lawyers did a poor job of “distracting” the lawyers. It’s the first thing I thought of when she said it. It definitely was a slip.

[@earth2becky]

I think she knew she was lying and using techniques to distract, deflect or project her own characteristics on Johnny and his team.

[@susanohnhaus611]

Absolutely agree! The problem for me, watching this crap, is that these interview questions are not surprises. She knew what they were in advance. If her attorneys are advising her on how to answer, then they are worse than we ever imagined. If, on the other hand she is writing her own script or just ignoring counsel's advice, then she is dumber than we ever imagined.

[@kathyollis7037]

I honestly believe she just can't keep her lies straight where she's told so many & still telling them

[@peterward2275]

That is very clearly what she meant. I noticed it straight away.

[@MsBirchify]

I believe that you are 100% right on that matter. She evades every issue AND question. So....yes.

[@cbkqmom]

There is live audio of Elaine whispering to Dr spiegel before his testimony- you have to isolate it and turn it up, but you can hear him make a comment where his testimony is not going to be factual- she says yes. (I hear “I will lie in my testimony”-others hear something else, but it adds to the same thing) he then goes on to ask if there is something he shouldn’t or can’t talk about, she says no.

[@NancyLynn]

Funny how certain statements a person makes, can mean different things to some of us. The way I looked at her statement regarding 'distraction', I took it as 'her' attempts to distract, not her lawyers. In fact, I thought it was a common element throughout her testimony at trial. Very interesting analysis, BBB.

[@bads3723]

You nailed it, as she said to one of the people around her when she smuggled the dogs she said cant you grease them to fudge the paper work I haven't gotten that "grease " out of my head that's what she does is grease because shes above the law or so she thought

[@ahofer1623]

Good point BlackBeltBarrister, very good point!! It could very well be a Freudian slip because that was exactly what her attorneys were doing.

[@Martynjs]

Watching Heard's lawyers was a bit like watching someone scrape the crusty bits off the bottom of a frying pan in a desperate bid to create something palatable. Hardly surprising as they didn't have much to work with from the start. But again, this is Heard's narcissism showing itself - blaming anyone and anything else rather than taking responsibility.

[@hannekezijlmans6578]

This was my first thought when I heard it. A Freudian slip exactly. I'm glad you caught up with that...

[@seriousoldman8997]

You nailed it. That's the way she thinks.

[@Paul-sj5db]

"They did a BETTER job of distracting..." was always the way I heard it.

[@littleladybug910]

As like me and others we continue to listen, watch , comment and acknowledge her daily. This person is loving all the attention, wether negative or positive. We need to walk away from her to keep our sanity, she will continue this manipulation to keep us hooked just like she did to Johnny .

[@troyshepherd2424]

Her lawyers did a better job at getting the truth out there and a better job at bringing her lies to light.

[@PatyM00N]

The jury didn’t just get to hear and see the evidence, they got to personally feel her energy. Humans are sentient beings. They probably needed therapy after that trail. Lol

[@pamelamp4932]

You are awesome BBB, I love getting your point of view. 😉👍🏻

[@carmenmaldonado4239]

I agree 100% with you. Remember one of her favorite tactics against jd was the “word” game.

[@annemarshall844]

Excellent point. Her lawyers tried hard to distract the jury away from the main issues, even stooped to using ‘muffins’! 😂

[@christinedeschamps3926]

Excellent analysis. That's it!

[@lance134679]

You're really giving her a lot of credit for her subtlety. I think your first impression was actually what she meant.

[@Mimik70-w3t]

So what does all this amount to? Will Johnny and his Lawyers watch all this and keep quiet? So all the work done by the court, for a good 6 weeks was a waste of time because AH lost. I hope she will be dragged back to court sooner than she thinks. She clearly did not learn anything and continues to defame Johnny, the justice system and JD lawyers integrity😟

[@croach2194]

That is what her lawyers were doing regularly with questions like "is this you 15 minutes of fame".

[@Wheres_my_Dragonator]

I pretty much gone to that conclusion back when she originally was defaming his witnesses. Now it's just reinforcing the fact.

[@georgiajeff912]

I think you're right. I thought what is she saying with a 'Better' job at distraction. Hmm, suspicious.

[@skyfrostthunderrock]

it's the first thing that came to mind when i heard her say that. she inadvertently said her team was focused on deviating the juror's attention away from evidence, photos, witness testimonies... and to only listen to her, because she's she lady survivor.

[@JeffrayCrownwell]

This is exactly what she said and she didn't realize that she reduced all the lawyer's jobs into a (distraction contest) and her lawyers simply failed in this deceiving contest!

[@PixiePrice]

She did slipped up by her words and now we are getting to see more bad choices, even from her lawyers. Leave it a rest and she need to move on. We are getting tired hearing about her & lies. Johnny's lawyers did their work and won the case against her. Her lies was exposed to the world.

[@peterz7752]

As Vivafrei always says: admission through projection

[@jomontanee]

Why didn’t she just lay low instead of coming out to stir public’s anger even more?

[@simonmarsden66]

Distraction of the jury is also a slur on the judge suggesting that it was allowed to happen in his court.

[@bettyakers2389]

I think as she said-her lawyers were trying to distract from the real issue ( ie. making it about JD’s drug use) instead of her claim that JD hit her. Her lawyers knew that they did not have much evidence. It’s a game for many lawyers- not about the actual truth/justice- it’s about them winning.

[@CariadCymru666]

Remember she was constantly passing little notes to her lawyers, so wouldn't surprise me, she got angry with her lawyers, as they weren't doing what she wanted,

[@GV-su9ov]

She indirectly said that JDs lawyers are better than hers, she can't just attack her lawyers even if she wanted to.

[@lisadawson6712]

This sentence was very telling !!! Shows her to be deceitful, underhand … everything and more that AH is

[@annap7416]

Absolutely right

[@DebraHeylen]

I agree with you. She slipped up. I believe she was comparing JD's performance to hers.

[@Trish.Norman]

I think she means distracting the jury from the evidence. ;-)

[@audiblek]

That’s a good catch, I would definitely take note of it. Having said that, it’s also possible she was just trying to use the word “better” to tie an ill-fitted, pre-rehearsed answer back to the question. That’s what my initial reaction was at least, and I try to be moderately generous in my interpretation while noting the less generous possibility for future analysis

[@audiblek]

I do want to point out though, I’m aware that they definitely did distract from the real issues. The “Drug Buddy“ comments got old fast and I’m sure the jury noticed the blatant attempts at manipulation

[@gilbertarnold8666]

Does it mean that HER lawyers "FAILED to distract" the jury. OF COURSE. What she wanted was the jury to be 'distracted" so they wouldn't "CATCH ON" to her (endless!) LIES. Just see how the "rando" witness former TMZ employee Morgan Tremayne, during his cross-examination by Camille, supplied the jury with crucial information they didn't have: namely, that the version of the "cupboard-slamming" video that was admitted into evidence was conveniently EDITED to eliminate the parts showing Amber setting up the camera IN ADVANCE of the argument that led up to the slamming, that she HID the camera from him with her cup, AND smirking triumphantly at the camera at the end, all of which demonstrated that the whole video was a SET-UP of Johnny, AND that the video had indeed come to TMZ from Amber, seeing as how TMZ were able to have it up on their site within FIFTEEN MINUTES of receiving it! Remember that she said she "knew nothing about it" RIGHT THERE IN COURT- and then Morgan came along with his testimony and shot that LIE down in FLAMES. No wonder all Amber's team had to work with was 'distraction"!

[@AphidStar]

Good point. I agree

[@coffee6783]

Dr. Curry said that Amber would act out, and that's exactly what she's doing.

[@daarianaharis]

That exactly what she means. People tend to project their own motivations onto others (there is even a saying to that effect in my native German). Her team's game plan was to distract the jury and focus their attention onto Jonny's failings instead of her dishonesty. She must assume that distraction was Depp's team's plan, too, and they were - in her mind - more successful at it.

[@ingiford175]

So: Lawyers = Clowns (to distract) Witnesses = Randos Jury=???

[@paulwolf8444]

Spot on.

[@fangirlauie]

yeah, it is as if her lawyers’ job is to ‘distract the jury from the real issues’.

[@donnaevans2005]

I think a dishonest person thinks others think like she does. So she would assume all the lawyers were dishonest like hers. Johnny's just did a better job? When one starts from a dishonest viewpoint, things are difficult to understand.

[@ChocoLater1]

When princess behaviour goes wrong

[@Armadacon]

To my mind. Team JD 'distracted' the Jury away from AH's narrative, towards the truth. Team JD was certainly better at doing this, as the truth is a constant. AH's 'narrative' constantly changed and her Lawyers were constantly doing damage control.

[@peppersleeves7632]

what she meant to say was that his lawyers were better at distracting the jury from the meetoo movement, points in op-ed etc. trial is not a platform for political debate nor its a place for finding and discussing real issues its about finding the truth and in this case justice is served

[@normansmith9110]

Amber did not answer the question. Instead she tried to change the subject.

[@Beastriderpav]

Wow Got to say I totally agree with you

[@hockysa]

boom! what a revelation. mic drop for the black belt barrister

[@peggycearnach8034]

It wouldn’t surprise me if her legal team lose her phone number at this point.

[@michelleritchens2059]

She's definitely saying Johnny's lawyers did a better job than her lawyers and I don't think that they would distract anyone as they said they used to her words against her to get the truth out.

[@fuuredfin7791]

Spot on!

[@GR888T]

It was obvious her team and herself were trying to distract the jury with his substance abuse. I lost count how many times they bought that up. Not asking how he hit her, but how many tablets he took.

[@freewaygodzilla6024]

Seriously when has it not deceived

[@thatonebrittany]

That's what she's meaning. That's all her lawyers were doing trying to distract from the evidence by using his addiction struggles and other victims. It's sad.

[@seajay20]

I absolutely agree. One of her medical staff had written about Amber's alcohol & drug-taking, hence them bombarding Johnny about his. Unfortunately, their personal nurse told their personal doctor (who was with them in Australia) all of the drugs, etc Amber was on when she cut Johnny's finger off. It's on the Australia tape that wasn't permitted into evidence in court - why? Johnny's lead security guy had since passed away, or Dr Kipper wouldn't allow his secretly recorded interactions in Australia to be allowed into evidence? But yes, I agree. Also, in one part of the interview, Amber even says something that reveals that she truly was the abuser. It was a slip of the tongue when talking about who the "instigator" (?) was. In what's been revealed so far, Amber lets lots slip. She thinks we're stupid. She's so full of herself. She's absolutely shocked that the jury saw through her... just as almost all of the viewing world has seen through her.

[@minifanega8095]

Yes, she thinks they won because they were "better" at distracting the jury. She means lawyers are suppose to distract people rather than present the truth.

[@spleefthedude7747]

Not a perfect victim? Wtf does that even mean!?!?!?

[@cazlovescakes]

I have to ask… is that four giant Lego pieces on your ceiling?

[@headjog1000]

That's how I'd read that comment too. They had to be better than something comparable & the only comparable was her team. Sometimes you/we need to let go of the original reaction in order to see the other option.

[@stuartmcnaughton1495]

I don't think that her lawyers were trying to distract the jury, but I do think that she herself was trying to distract the jury with her acting performances while she gave her evidence.

[@wardaldo69]

I take it as she means her lawyers didn't do a good job at so called distraction attempts.

[@justjm6510]

To sum it up... She says.. HER LAWYER and JD lawyer are distracting the jury but JD's lawyer is doing it better than her Lawyer. (Though of course she don't have evidence that JD's TEAM did that) She unconsciously sell out her Lawyer by saying such. 😅

[@paulmurgatroyd6372]

Amber, just say yes, he had better lawyers. JD's team didn't need to distract anyone from the facts of the case, they wanted everyone to pay attention. She's going to get sued again.

[@bessbriones8046]

What's becoming clearer each time is that she has a twisted mind that does not retract in any way

[@jeninaverse8751]

I was obsessed with watching her. It astounded me. Felt like she was the mainstream media personified. . But I'm at an age where I'm trying to see my own self in others and others in own self. To transcend and dissolve into Love. I think Amber is a great challenge to this rhetoric. To rise above it all and look into her face with Love. God its bloody hard!!! 🤣🤣🤣😂🤣

[@Lucky32Luke]

No, I think what she meant was JD's lawyers did a better job "destructing the jury" (with actual evidence) then SHE did with her false testimony. (I do agree on that it was a Freudian slip.) Remember how many times she has been told by the court to look at the lawyer when she was answering in the cross exam but she was desperately looking at the jury members? She was trying to find somebody supporting her words. She was trying her acting skills to make an effect (destructing) to avoid the weight of the evidence. "It was the best acting of her lifetime" as Camille have said in her closing argument, but no one have ever said it was good acting.

[@lurchernut7]

Yes definitely

[@pauldailey4477]

You are correct, but only after your self-reflection. Amber and her lawyers definitely set out to "distract" the jury. Amber was told explicitly, by her lawyering team, to look at the jurors while answering every single question. She did not have to be told twice. Amber should be punished just for the way she attempted to manipulate the jurors/jury.

[@saturninebear]

Totally agree.

[@pamelac.3241]

Ohhh I believe she was unhappy with her lawyers DURING the trial. So of course she would be even more unhappy with them after the trial because she lost.

[@susanramen1615]

I think she’s talking about deeper issues of domestic violence/power differentials as opposed to defamation. And yes, his lawyers did distract from that as hers were more focused on it. Evidence on not, that’s what she is constructing her case around.

[@McQuizzical]

That's the way I read her comment, i. e 'Johnnys Lawyers are better at being dishonest than hers' . I don't think she knows how to think straight nevermind see straight, her mind is so currupt its devoid of any integrity.

[@michaelc814]

I agree that it was very likely that Amber's lawyers strategic plan was to distract the jury but they failed miserably because of the lies and the constant damage control they have to do after each testimony.

[@aeriacross770]

Just always look at what she's saying. Her accusations are her admissions.

[@csvickers151]

Why is this woman still a free woman????

[@johawk9803]

My impression was she was referencing the UK trial and how the lawyers were able to distract the jury, but they didn't distract the judge. Who knows what she really means tho.

[@ibico907]

🚨🚨🚨People tell on themselves when you let them talk and listen carefully. If her actions back her words then she just told on herself, if her actions don’t back her words then the first thought 💭 you mentioned comes to light. Now, with that being said, her actions have spoken more than the narrative she wants us all to believe. If you listen carefully to her words when she is given a platform to talk all she wants without being stopped and compare her words to her actions then you can come to a conclusion. We don’t need a person to explain themselves when their actions are speaking clearly for them. ❤️

[@madguruJ]

I would call it projection

[@ScytheManiac]

amber: oh i use [better than] and [the only ones ] sinonimously "

[@tammy5926]

I agree with your analysis here. Definitely seems it could be a Freudian slip.

[@venitiaalexandria7168]

I think yes, she was saying that his team was good at distraction than they were, In really they were better at trying to keep her on track.

[@rjs1407]

She's said a lot of conflicting testimonies during the trial like..."i was leaving him walking away from me"???? "I don't recall if he was holding my neck or i loose my grip"????? indeed many details in her statements revealed her subcon that only have the truth...however, she is suppressing the truth with her lies

[@e.v.emmons8567]

I think the goal of her lawyers was to keep the spot light on her, and make sure that JD was always cast in the worse light, but typical to AH, she doesn't blame herself for her poor acting and histrionics and over the top behavior, she subtley casts aspersions on her legal team. The facts are that JD's team focused on the evidence, proof, and the truth, while her team was trying to pull the wool over the jury's eyes, because they knew their case is based on flimsey 'facts' and lies.

[@frankpalermo3882]

Decades from now we will all still remember amber's antics

[@lynwright7705]

Like when Elaine was obsessed with Dr Curry and her 'Muffins'.

[@edpotter1170]

I mean she doesnt need to "slip up" because we already know both teams were trying to distract another. It's just that JD's team directed the attention to more serious issues while AH's team directed the attention to muffins, p*nis and mega pint.
