'Strange question!' Johnny Depp surprised by Paul Bettany cross examination

Johnny Depp was back on the stand Thursday in his $100million defamation trial against Amber Heard. Under cross examination from Heard's lawyer Benjamin Rottenborn, he brought up Depp's friendship with the British actor Paul Bettany. Rottenborn said: 'Paul Bettany is a good friend you've done drugs with?' Depp replied: 'That's a strange question.' Depp then admitted he had drank alcohol and done cocaine with him and taken pills together. Depp and Bettany have been friends for years and starred together in 2014 sci-fi movie Transcendence and again in the action-comedy Mortdecai in 2015.

And like Robert Downey Jr. has a past too involving jail, drugs, whatever kinds of crazy things he did. And then his life completely turned around.

It's fairly common. It's just that this is high profile. Drug use is often used to discredit people in court, it's pretty effective to get a conviction, because jurors typically have a lot of preconceived notions of anyone who does or has done drugs. If he had not been a famous celebrity who is kind of expected to have done drugs, this tactic could have been effective.

A defamation case is all about one person saying another person is lying, in this case it’s JD saying Amber lied on his name. If you can bring to light how a person could not be the most honest (which they’re trying to do with JD) you can discredit their claim that other person (Amber) is lying. That’s why it’s been pretty much all gloves off when it comes to bringing up JD’s past of drugs/partying/etc.

Well when you make a cocktail like he does, some do get violent. I'm not saying he got violent, because I wasn't there to witness that. Just saying it is possible. Even with pot, when mixed with basic beer can make people violent. It's actually an allergic reaction/side effect that a small % of people have. I've seen it with my eyes in my own home as a kid.

[@RavenDumpster]

@@pricklypear7934 everyone reacts to everything differently is what I'm saying. Some people are violent and have angry outbursts while sober.

[@Hagg-o-tron]

Exactly right. I've battled my demons with addiction throughout my life. I have never once in my life been violent towards a woman. Its a completely baffling route these prosecutors are taking.

@@Hagg-o-tron It's a civil case. There are no prosecutors involved. There's only the plaintiff and defendant. Johnny is the plaintiff and Amber is the defendant. Technically, the one who initiates action against the other is the plaintiff in civil cases and the presecutor in criminal cases. Hypothetically, since it's Johnny who initiated the action, his side would be the prosecutor if was a criminal case. Just putting it out there.

Any lawyer watching this and a couple of other specific moments from the trial would be cringing for the rest of the day. Doesn't AH still have the money from the divorce? A legal team is not where you want to be skimping when losing means 50 million.

[@AtParmentier]

Nope she doesn't have the money. The money was supposed to be donated over a period of time. Originally Johnny would send money to Amber which then would be donated, however Amber did some stuff (it's somewhere in his direct, i think), then Johnny decided to donate the money directly in Ambers name.

[@linettelow]

Absolutely, especially when they don’t get their reference numbers right 3, even 4 times in a row during cross examination. The male litigator still has some nerve to be condescending toward Johnny - about time limits on answers and other gravy. Amber received US$7 million from their divorce and stated publicly she’d donate all to 2 charities. JD paid in instalments directly to those charities in Amber’s name. It’s insane this outraged her. Even if AH’s 2022 smear campaign succeeds in persuading the jury of JD’s drug use, evidence that Johnny ever hit her is absent. We’re all hoping Johnny gets his life back when this is over.

"Defense shouldn't defend since this thing doesn't singlehandedly get them off". Finally, its the jury that decides if it rises to reasonable doubt to THEM. Not you. If they believe Amber could have interpreted the way Johnny acted as abuse, and did not intentionally spread false information to damage his career. Thats how she gets off.
