Amber's Lawyer Struggling, Getting Facts Wrong, Mispronouncing

This lawyer from Ambers legal team is making a fool of herself. Struggling and mispronouncing her sentences. And even getting the facts wrong. Alot. Here you see such a contrast between a great doctor and the attorney.
- There was so many things the lawyer was getting wrong. So I editted the video in a way, so you only see the moments of the lawyer getting things wrong.
- Reminder: Please keep a positive tone in the comment section.

“Only 8 years” isn’t even that short of a time to practise. However her saying “no it was 15 years” is so satisfying. They tried to make a stupid point and she immediately shut them down. Iconic

[@sportsfansports3353]

Truth. Anyone who has extensive training for a job and then does that job for eight (or 15) years is probably capable of doing the most basic things within the scope of that job. Are there incompetent people in all professions? Yes. But we can't declare a lock of competence because someone has only held the job for a "mere" eight years. Laughable.

holy crap. They way she goes out of her way to basically state, “No the diagnosis itself is not sexist. more women simply have it” gives me hope for humanity.

[@BlueXonar]

Have been diagnosed with it* Another important distinction versus your summary. Men are typically less likely to seek assistance with mental health conditions, meaning they are less likely to be diagnosed. I did also very much enjoy the lawyer getting bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder (two completely different and unrelated disorders) mixed up, and the doctor being able to say her statement was not correct based on one of those mistakes...

[@KitKat_293]

@@BlueXonar I agree and there could certainly be forms of sexism manifesting within the world of psychiatry as a whole that could influence those numbers, but that is so beyond the scope of this trial to determine it’s not even funny. Functionally, for this trial, the dsm-5 is what it is. It’s not as if all diagnosis in the dsm is biased enough to be thrown out of all law proceedings. (A good example of sexism in society affecting rates of bpd in women is that undiagnosed and untreated autism or adhd in women can present similarly to bpd. I don’t believe amber is autistic but it still skews the numbers. Women and girls are under diagnosed with autism and adhd because the research on both disorders was conducted on men and boys, as if that’s a baseline. The symptoms in women in girls can present differently but the diagnostic criteria is written based on research with autistic men and boys. So the autism criteria is accidentally designed in a way that is inaccurate for autistic women and fails to diagnose them. Later in life, struggling with untreated disabilities, they experience anxiety, depression and mood swings which can be mis-attributed to a personality disorder. Hence the sexism within the building blocks of the system that can really fail and underserve various disabled women. But not something the depp trial is concerned with

[@thespankmyfrank]

I've also heard that women most often get diagnosed with bpd while men get diagnosed with bipolar disorder, as they can be mistaken for each other. Might just be because women and men often present symptoms differently. Much like adhd which often is diagnosed in men when they're young and women when they're older, simply because the symptoms are different.

Dr. Curry: No, that's not true. Heard's Lawyer: Isn't it true that you personally knew Johnny Depp before you testified and would lie for him but Amber Heard's friends and other doctors don't lie in exchange for food? Dr. Curry: No, that's not true. Heard's Lawyer: I just want to be clear that I am accusing you of being a prostitute who is lying on the stand for drinks and food.

Not only was she smart in her field and honestly very pretty, she had charisma and engaged with the jury - talking towards them, using inviting and friendly hand gestures, willingly explaining something to better inform them, etc. she never talked _down_ to them and made them feel stupid about the topics she is an expertise in. If anything, she made it feel like a friendly chat. Even as a viewer, I walked away more informed. People don’t want to admit it, but charisma plays a big part in cases like this (notably when they’re this high profile) with the jury. Yes, evidence is everything, but an expert witness that is very thorough, gives detailed explanations in an easy to follow manner, and engages with those who are the deciding factors in this case outside of a lawyer asking a questions….it goes a long way. You can tell who supports Amber through all of this with just today’s trial alone without them even having to outright say it, especially when it’s coming from the “believe and support all women” crew. I’ve seen so many comments today make backhanded remarks about how “ugly” she is, focusing on how she looks and speaks, ignoring everything she said and all that she has accomplished to imply she was _only_ hired for her looks.

Retired attorney here. Appalling examination. A cardinal rule in conducting an examination is to never ask a question to which you don’t already know the answer. Also, in attempting to call into question the credibility or expertise of an expert witness, you never want to hear the words “no that’s not correct”. Counsel here not only got key facts wrong, but also gave the witness the opportunity to underscore her credentials. Example: “I am a registered clinical psychologist.” The “but not board certified” will still be in the jury’s mind, but this can easily be addressed if needed on re-examination. The attempt to suggest some form of relationship with Depp in an attempt to cast doubt on the witness’s objectivity, was also clumsy and was again handled meticulously by the witness. Counsel, in my view, came off badly. Her attempts to diminish the evidence and expert opinion of the witness ending up looking like a botched hatchet job. This and the calm, precise and respectful responses from the witness only served to embellish her credibility at the cost of counsel’s own.

To be fair, it is a common law practice to attempt to discredit the oppositions professional witnesses. It’s hard to discredit a professionals opinions, so if you discredit their professionalism, it makes their claims less important. Think of it in an opposite situation. A psychologist is saying Johnny depp commits domestic violence against amber heard. This can be a serious claim. This person is a professional in their field so you can’t discredit what she is saying. However, you have information that psychologist are not allowed to make these claims since it is outside their field. Therefore they would ask, “are psychologist allowed to make a claim like that” and she would have said “no we can’t” discrediting what was previously stated, and simultaneously making it look like the professional isn’t as reliable and unbiased as they seem. Ambers legal team goes about it in an absolutely rude and unprofessional manner for some reason though 🤷‍♂️

As a current law student and a former collegiate mock trial competitor, I must say this doctor is an EXCELLENT expert witness. She is clearly listening to the questions thoroughly and answering each component with clarity and in a compelling manner (even clearer than the questions themselves were posed). On cross-examination, a witness must answer "yes" or "no" to the attorney's questions and cannot give too much context/pushback/explanation or else they risk an objection - she is able to say yes/no, but is still able to tear apart the questions by clarifying where the attorney was wrong or grossly mischaracterized a situation or statements. The sign of an excellent expert witness is that she is able to advocate for her side (Depp's legal time) whilst maintaining legitimacy and respect, and that she probably captivated the jury's attention much more than the attorney (who came across looking very unprepared and foolish). Props to this doctor - I hope they paid her the big bucks.

​ @Schoo Good question! What people might not know about court procedure is that both sides are obligated to stick to facts that are supported by evidence - but "facts" can be characterized VERY differently - and a legal team's job is to be very selective about what facts to present, how to present them, in what context. E.g. the doctor's meeting at Depp's home is a "fact" but Heard's legal team was attempting to characterize it as some casual, sleazy drunken party (though they didn't do a very good job at it). The doctor's obligation is to be honest but, as much as possible, communicate her opinion/research in a way that is favorable to Depp - which she does very well.

@@naughtyskywalker9292 Dealt with it 5 years ago my Junior year of high school. Hyperextended my left knee in a basketball game, tore both my ACL and MCL. Had reconstructive surgery for them and was in PT for almost a full year. Shortly after started having even more problems with a tendon that became stronger than my joint so it would forcefully dislocate my knee with the smallest of sudden movements, so I had to have another surgery to thin the tendon out. Here we are almost 6 years later and I still have dislocations (Not as frequent as before the surgery, but still happens from time to time) and a weak joint that’s diminishing with every dislocation. There’s a reason why many sport career’s end even with a sprained ACL let alone a full tear.

Them lawyers be slowly losing braincells because of amber

[@abdoeljouti6350]

I want her "That's not correct" to be my alarm. Such aplomb, poise and professionalism!

[@Imbrockleedammit]

I'm not a lawyer. But the first I learned about being a lawyer was: "Don't ask a question that you don't already know the answer to." I'm amazed at how much AH legal team is just throwing shots in the dark.

[@alexhuang9712]

Her first question is trying to make connections between Johnny and the doctor, it is pretty obvious they don't have any good evidence that the doctor's word isn't true.

[@remen_emperor]

I mean, what else can you do if you've got so little? My guess is that they're hoping to catch someone saying something in words that they can pull a technicality out of. Like "I don't murder children" and pulling "Now, they didn't say that _never_ murdered children." I just can't fathom the number of questions that they aren't correct for any other reason. If it's a serious attempt, it's embarrassing

[@twischta]

The are probably not board certified... and presumably just practicing for only eight years?

[@TheMasterOptimus]

It seems the strategy was for them to hopefully lure the jury into doubting the legitimacy of the claims and evidence presented by depp’s side.

[@encinobalboa]

The team of lawyers are on retainer. They don't care about the outcome. They care about putting up enough of a show so they can keep the retainer.

"Dinner was served." BEAUTIFUL. JUST Beautiful. She made that lawyer look like a reaching idiot I'm the most awe-inspiring calm self-assurance. People who were debate dipshits in college, myself included, can see rhetorical genius at work. Even if it was just an instance, truly something to behold.

@Lady Steele They were saying that the doctor was a better lawyer than the actual lawyer asking the questions lol

@Lady Steele your comment was so unnecessary in my opinion, I don’t think he said anything misogynistic.

implying that op was being mysoginistic when hes perfectly reasonable, getting mad when someone points it out that you are stupid… what a troll. bye 😬

Terrible questioning, lawyer thinking she can outsmart a psychologist lol

[@Nexils]

I love this one testimony interview (if that's how you call it). I love how precise the psychologist is.

[@lexi8317]

That doctor was WONDERFUL. 🏆 She held her own and did it with class and intelligence.

[@whitediamondize]

I agree with everyone that's saying: "Don't ask a question when you don't know the answer" and how that's the first basic rule of being a lawyer. I love how she was correcting the attorney, then saying: "I'm not a lawyer" and doing it respectfully to show the jury and judge that while she's being disrespected, she doesn't need to act that way to them.

[@Manuel_Bache]

Not only psychologist, but also a great educator

[@mariaw.4780]

This psychologist is more Atticus Finch than this "lawyer" is.

[@ajvanmarle]

This whole thing is weird. A lot of these questions were factual and should have been easy to establish in advance. How is this lawyer so poorly prepared?

[@GodsSon987]

The saying should be reworded for the lawyer: "Don't ask a question when you don't even know the question"

[@BigDaddy52525]

No way this women was hired as a lawyer again after this performance

[@nonspecifie4351]

Amber's lawyer was horrible. I can't imagine anyone would hire her in the future...

[@meowpeupeupeu]

The lawyer really ran herself into the ground with these classic manipulative questions. She’s speaking to a DOCTOR OF CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY. Edit: added the word clinical

[@IOutDoSyndicate]

"But you're not board certified, right? Tell me, ms psychologist, what are your LSAT scores?"

[@matthewmcmahon8980]

A doctor of Clinical Psychology.

[@stephen_unc]

"Doctor" means nothing about the person or his\her consistency or any other quality you fool

[@Simplehomeschoollife]

Yes. Manipulative. It always blows my mind how in a place where facts matter, so much manipulation is involved in phrasing and questioning.

[@whiterose8601]

To be more specific she is able to act a forensic clinical psychologist which is a psychologist that can be asked to speak in court which is what happened here
