Depp's attorneys are teaching a masterclass on trial prep and cross examination. As a fellow lawyer, this has been a beautiful trial to watch. There is so much that goes on behind the scenes to prepare for witness examination. The level of preparation by his lawyers is absolutely amazing.

[@Lorrdd]

I feel like Johnny realized at about the same time they did how badly this quack was screwing up. Seems like Turd's team prepared her for the stand, Johnny's actually explained what was going on beyond his time on the stand, they wanted him to understand what was going on. Watching his face as the quack spoke, I feel like he did.

[@SteakCutFries]

It's strange because her legal team and the experts that they've brought, her psychiatrists, therapists, everyone ... It's like she just had a team of lawyers slapped dashed together real quick and got whatever experts they could round up, despite how well (or terribly) they testified, despite having very little likeability on the stand, and despite seeming to have very little practice in doing so, and just put them up on the stand 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ her lawyers have been flat out incorrect several times, showing they didn't really have the facts, they tried to submit a photo into evidence that Amber claimed was from 2015 to support a particular claim about a particular incident and forensics found the metadata was from years before. Her whole set up is just unprepared and I feel bad for her in a really weird way.

Depp's Lawyer: "You'd agree the sky is blue right?" Dr. Spiegel: "That would depend on the definition of sky and also whether it was cloudy or not and what time of day it was including the angle of the sun and whether we are talking about a sunrise/sunset sky not to mention one's perception of color. For instance, color is perceived by the mind after receiving electrical signals from light receptors in they eyes and is interpreted subjectively. Therefore, one person's definition of "blue" may differ from another person's definition.

Most of us have had excellent, diligent training and we work in accordance with the highest ethical standards. This is one of those old bad apples in our field who make things more difficult for younger generations of psychiatrists. I hope he retires soon.

[@farhannasa4805]

Rewatched this again and I came to appreciate how great this lawyer actually was in his line of questioning. Actually the whole team was great, but I feel like people talked a lot of this psychiatrist’s deranged behavior and not giving the lawyer enough credit. The doctor was out of depth in this case - even seemed a bit slow, despite his jibe to the lawyer about his processing speed. Laughably ridiculous. The man (the lawyer) did an outstanding job of asking medically-related questions and really understood the fine details of those medical details, like his question about the MSE. I was impressed.

Spiegel thought he was winning when Dennison said "give me a second". Spiegel conducted himself like he was having a spirited debate in the teacher's lounge.

[@heidihogshire]

Dennison is sharp as hell. He's not like Camille, he doesn't match wits in rapid fire or yank him around by his collar. At first, he barely seems to able to grasp the "expert's" testimony and needs him to explain the simplest thing. But, while this lunatic is running his mouth, thinking he's putting on a dazzling show for a roomful of morons, the lawyer is cruising in under the radar to quietly sidle up and park by his jugular. He uses the quack's contempt and grandiosity against him like jujitsu. Instead of clashing with his opponent, he lays brutal traps, then methodically leads him toward his doom. He reminds me of Peter Falk's old detective character, Columbo, who used to stick close to his quarry, giving the impression of a slow witted cop the suspect can easily manipulate into drawing the wrong conclusion. But his frustration grows as Columbo fails to grasp the clues he's being fed and keeps investigating. Eventually his desperation and arrogance lead the bad guy to incriminate himself at the same time he realizes his fatal error in underestimating the slow witted detective toying with him all along.

I am so pleased that JD's team did not try to stop this guy from ranting. He did not do himself any favours during this interaction. I loved watching Camille's reactions and her sneaky looks at the Jury, to see their reactions. She also looked towards the Judge, a couple of times, to see her reactions too. Check out the people in the court, as well. He was the best witness JD could have, possibly, hoped for.

[@gametime2473]

So funny how the attorney is purposely triggering this psychiatrist and he was just going off the rails. All he had to say was, that ethical guideline exists but it is not followed for expert witnesses in court as you can see in millions of cases throughout history. This guy obviously doesn't have ANY experience as an expert witness. As soon as you appear emotionally engaged, your testimony is moot. You give short, concise answers with no discernible bias or emotion.

And bro said "No, I'm not an expert on acting and I don't know that." Homie actually does not know that when an actor plays a fiction character, or any character who isn't himself, that said actor is ACTing. He didn't know that.... because he's not a..."professional" in the field of acting.... He doesn't know the definition of the WORD "act", is more like it.
