LIVE: Johnny Depp V Amber Heard - Day 20 Real Lawyers React

[@trailrunner925]

Dr. Spiegel ignored that JD had a diagnosis of ADHD, and adderall is used in the treatment of ADHD. ADHD is also associated with short term memory problems. How did that escape his "review"??????!

[@inaraoftyria3878]

The reason Dennison doubled down is because it is highly unethical for psychiatrists and psychologists to give professional opinions or diagnoses of people they have not personally evaluated. That's what the Goldwater Rule is. And Dr. Spiegel was definitely attempting to diagnose JD - which is why he avoided answering Dennison's questions about whether or not he'd made a diagnosis. He wanted it to look like he had to the jury which is incredibly unethical. Just a little insight for you, there. It was a line of questioning specifically tackling the ethics of his testimony.

Whether Johnny wins or loses the defamation case, this exposure of Amber will boost his career and destroy hers!

I feel like Elaine is a dirty lawyer. From the beginning, she has been leading witnesses and purposely bringing in disallowed "evidence" so that the jury hears it. This is a terrible way for her to end her career and I don't feel sorry for her. And why is it that Camille and Benjamin seem like the only decent litigators on Depp's side?

The domestic violence expert said he viewed "pictures of Depp passed out drunk". I wish they asked him how he knew Depp was drunk. He would have answered by saying Amber's testimony. It would have been a quick way to illustrate he is taking her testimony at face value.

[@lilmissriss93]

Absolutely right!! Another missed point by Dennison😞

[@danielkrause4872]

Completely right the thing is according to statistics 60%of the jury has already made their decision halfway through a trial and honestly especially with the time Johnny's legal team has left amber and all of her witnesses have contradicted themselves

[@violablomsterbed9755]

He also said he was told Johnny had vomited on himself in the picture where Amber had given him an ice cream after he fell asleep. This guy gave so much voluntary and not asked info that I almost vomited listening to it. And he kept repeating and rephrasing the questions asked and giving extensive anwers to yes or no questions. Exhausting! But loved the expert crusher on Johnny's team.

Elaine Bredehoft behaved unethically and improperly but today the judge helped her. Once the judge overruled a hearsay objection which was entirely justified (which the judge confirmed by sustaining an analogue hearsay objection (both were regarding to the character of the contents of an email)), another time she told Elaine how to ask a question ("ask her how she knows") and another time she coaches Elaine to go for "foundation" first. I realise how tiring it must be for everyone, including the judge, to endure Elaine's improper questioning, but still, the judge should not help Elaine out.

I thought Dennison did great on Dr. Spiegel. Spiegel tried so hard to run the wagon around Dennison but the bottom line is Cluster B traits are diagnosed disorders which he was not ethically nor professionally qualified to answer based on the information he had. The cognitive deficiency thing was ridiculous. Spiegel's combative nature and the facial distortions really really did not help.

I was shocked a Doctor can diagnose someone, without meeting them, going on someones hearsay and watching his past movies.

[@rmokofsky]

Everything that man said was utterly horrific and he needs his Dr practice papers taken away!!!

[@jennalee2344]

If I’m on the jury I’ve forgotten what the Dr was trying to testify to. His answers were too long winded, self indulgent and I never want to live in a society where I can be diagnosed, without being assessed in person. That’s how the witch hunts start. I would strike his testimony from my mind. Cross didn’t sway me one way or the other. A bit of comedic relief. Elaine’s unprofessional behaviour was nails on a chalk board.

I agree with you on Dennison's cross-exam of Dr. Speigel. He had so much information to attack and discredit that "Doctor". Also, I can not believe the amount of unethical behavior coming from Heard's team of lawyers! Why is the judge allowing this? Perhaps she is trying to be "extra fair" by giving them every opportunity to defend their client in case if an appeall? It seems that the defense has NO defense....they are desperate!

[@giaatta9303]

I agree. The judge is just super lenient or fair to Ambers team. JD has excellent lawyers because he is more truthful.

[@michelleadams474]

I thought Johnny's attorney could have done better, as usual. He really frustrates me with his stuttering and fumbling and then when he does make a good point with the witness he drops the ball, or when he's catching them in something and they get a bad attitude that makes him look bad he seems to lose his train of thought and just says "okay."... what, okay??? No its not okay, he does a poor job in my opinion.

[@fukufukugolfer]

I’m with your opinion. The first surgeon basically said he hadn’t seen the photos of where this incident occurred and evidence other than those fed to him by AH’s team. And so he admits to have seen less evidence than the jurors. He didn’t treat JD, hasn’t seen JD’s finger, didn’t do any simulations, hell he couldn’t even get the hand position right. I wouldn’t even consider him to be an expert. If I were a juror, I would just think that the bottle may simply have hit the finger at off angle from the right. I initially thought the lawyer cross examining the second doctor was awkward at first, but then I saw how Dr S became more emboldened because he saw the lawyer as being below him in intellect. He was eventually made to say that Cluster B people with substance abuse problems are more likely to perpetuate IPV. The jurors only know of one person who has been diagnosed of that inside that room. And we all heard how she sounds like she’s under influence in all those audios. All the behavior he attributed to JD applies directly to AH, and I think the jurors gradually realized that. The lawyer seems to have pulled a detective Columbo on him to fool him into inferring that Cluster B = Amber = abuser.

[@ahamsphurana]

Mr. Dennison's stuttering and fumbling is a psychological trick to confuse the witness. Witnesses are always trying to calculate in their head how they should respond to a question even before the question has been laid out. If you observe closely, Mr.Dennison breaks his sentences 3 times in different parts. This is to not let the witness know whether they must reply in yes or no in order to help their client's case. So what I have been observing, when Mr. Dennison speaks the first break in the sentence is normally affirmative, second break hints towards a No answer. But till the third break comes, the witnesses forgets whether he must reply in yes or no and so, Mr.Dennison cracks up the witness and truth comes out of them. But yeah, he may have forgotten few important questions 😄😀 Never mind I am biased 🤣🤣

[@AnnieRuler216]

I hear your gut is Johnny has hit her. One would think though, that in their fights she’d have yelled, “Johnny I hit you, not punch....you punch me when you hit?” She would have used it, imo....

Johnny Depp admitted on the stand to wearing an ear piece on set - he rewrites a lot of lines during makeup before filming and they relay his new lines he just wrote back to him, they also play music through his ear piece. It’s been explained. He learnt that from Marlon Brando

[@mamazannie6060]

I do not think AH’s witnesses were effective today at all. The orthopedic surgeon had not seen the pictures nor listened to what Ben the butler had testified as to finding the finger where he did. Once he saw that and heard that he wavered. The “Back To The Future” looking psychiatrist was a pompous lunatic. He was argumentative and defensive; strange being a psychiatrist and all… The last one seemed very uninformed. She talked about all these movies but hadn’t seen any of them or was familiar with any of the subject matter. Meh…..today was a wash for AH.

[@julieo4580]

The photo thing should have been dug deeper in my opinion. He was told that JD had vomit on him. It was the ice cream picture. Who told him that it was vomit not ice cream? Also they should have played the audio for both him and the agent chick and point out that is why AH has no movie roles.

[@kaelate4686]

Honestly that audio is so damning and they don't seem to be using it to their advantage at all.

[@cherylcascone7840]

Very disappointed in today. Another senseless day. Elaine and AH’s team absolutely unethical. So upsetting how she continually is Sneaking evidence in the back door, creepy. AH and her team is making a mockery of the Court and belittling our intelligence. I feel so bad for the Jurors. (I absolutely agree with you ! )

[@cliffvaughsremembered8142]

Totally agree with you on cross -- could've been in and out quick -- I learned early on in my practice that you don't try to prove your case on cross exam -- You go in and show bias or mistakes and get your points in and then get out and bring your witnesses to testify to your story. By the way Dennison also crossed Dr. Hughes and did the same thing -- asked too many questions and gave them too much rehabilitation issues. And yes absolutely everything shrink said applied to AH and Dennison didn't pick that up. Dennison also needs to take lessons from Camille as to how to object. Just saying "objection" and not immediately giving cogent reason isn't effective. Camille is far and away the best on objections I can remember seeing.

[@alexism7902]

Disagree with your takes today. I think Wayne killed it. He had some tough witnesses who tried to skirt away from answering anything directly and by the end I didn’t find them credible at all. The first witness maintained credibility but his expert opinion was annihilated by Camille. In the end he wanted to be honest even if it didn’t go with his opinion and I didn’t get that from the second two. I would weigh his opinion higher than theirs, and yet the physical evidence and testimonies match with Johnny’s story more so than Amber’s. Rottenborn came off really bad today, worse than Elaine IMO.

[@donnar9864]

And not that this is even important but I also don't agree that JD is a diva, I think he is far from it...

[@nakela2]

I agree as well, it was some areas that I felt that he could've moved on and not harped on but his way of cross-examination is different than others. He was definitely effective in getting their expertise to look like quack jobs and biased. Everyone wants Camille but she's assigned some things as well as the others. I believe Law Network correspondence said that he did an excellent job cross-examining the Dr. Quack....

[@ztevie.j]

Nah, Dennison stutter, stumble and hesitates all the time. His Ah and Uhm before every question drives me nuts. He gives the impression of being a bit confused and not sharp at all. He misses the opportunity to press the witness with improvised questions. He's the direct opposite of Vasquez in my opinion...

[@lukesaward8761]

I agree I think dennison tactics is to make himself appear to stutter and stumble so the witness feels like they're more intelligent than him, he kind of does it in a slow burn, come the end of all the crosses all the witnesses had lost all their credibility, I think with dennison you can hate the process but get the results that's needed.

Dennison has appeals to laypeople who aren’t lawyers. Lawyers can easily see what he left on the table as far as cross. But for non-lawyers, he’s extremely effective because he makes people on the jury feel like they’re not in a court room, but instead watching a friend tear down someone’s arguments in a bar. He gets people to laugh, he gets the witness to repeat points so the jury knows it’s important, etc. He is however terrible at objections, both giving them and fighting them off.

The biggest mistake that Dennison made (in my opinion) with the damages expert was not asking "Can you separate the bad press from the Tell them Johnny audio and Waldman's statements?"

[@auntiesocial3680]

@@nisn8878 Yes. Waldman admitted to leaking the audio, but it isn't one of the statements in the counter claim. Also, truth is a defence to defamation, and there is no way that anyone can claim that the audio is false or fabricated (especially when it has been entered into evidence in this trial). I don't think that they have established a master/servant relationship between JD and AW. I hope there will be a jury instruction about vicarious liability and whether invoking attorney/client privilege can be seen as a negative inference that AW was acting on JDs instructions. It seems that Elaine was already setting up that improper connection during the depo questioning.

Just ask if something that happened 2 weeks earlier (I think) could have been the instigator

[@krab1791]

Even tho Dennison kept reminding him that the photograph showed ice cream and not vomit and that it was music, not lines in the earphones this wacko doc kept saying he didnt believe and plowed right through using “he vomited on himself” and “his cognitive disabilities were so bad he needed his lines read to him” as his facts.

Dennison's cross of Spiegel was so strained, BUT I agreed with bringing in the fact that the court denied the order for compulsory medical exam. This was a big question when Dr. Curry first testified; even Jonny supporters wanted to know why HE didnt have to be evaluated... The jury might have had the same questions, especially after they unfortunately got to open thar door on direct. I think they should have addressed it on cross, and I dont think it hurt him much at all, certainly not as much as not having that point to argue against later because we know her lawyers woild try to argue that he was hiding something. Dennison gave that witness soooo much rope and he hung himself with it. Not my preferred strategy, but it worked here.

[@pheeqzie]

I disagree, he overall exposed that “doctor’s” lack of credibility because it was clear he came across like he had an agenda rather than testify impartially. Btw, the standards in the UK is very different to what I am observing in your courts so, I wouldn’t make that comparison with the UK case. Expert evidences are largely on a strictly necessary basis not to mention the fact that government policies find their way into court decisions so, being a nation of puritans, wouldn’t be surprised that most of these details we now know never made it into the UK case.

59:23 "Doc Brown's" statement was atrociously misleading. The fact that 80%-90% of people committing IPV have a certain risk factor says nothing about how likely it is for a person with that risk factor to commit IPV. It could be that only 1% of people with that risk factor commit IPV which would indicate a very small likelihood. The worst thing was that "Doc Brown" was challenged about the likelihood of someone with the risk factor to commit IPV and that *he* flipped the direction (into IPV -> risk factor), which is 100% inadequate and misleading. Either "Doc Brown" does not know how implication works or he was actively misleading the jury. Unbelievable.

A studio will see audience reactions and if the audience determines that two people have no chemistry after the movie comes out, the studio will determine they have no chemistry and can fire them.

Dennison should have asked the defamation lady just 1 question - Is Johnny Depp not allowed to defend himself, by denying & refuting allegations made against him by Amber Heard?

[@birgittemunch3886]

I feel comfortable that the jury knows that - no matter competences - no psychiatrist/psychologist can make diagnosis though the internet, film, and photos, etc. If (!) there still is something called 'individuality', any society must demand that these sciences are performed with direct observations and interviews of the client. Most people can produce video, photo, and even journals which contains snips revealing their unpleasant nature :-) - which is not a diagnosis.

[@Hursey97]

I’m pretty sure they are objecting late because this judge has clearly been very lenient previously by stating “let’s see where it goes” and letting Elaine and the witness continue. The judge did the same thing with Camille. The judge let’s the inadmissible answer come in, then sustains the objection but rarely strikes it from the record. It’s SO frustrating! But I think that’s why depp’s team started objecting late.

Why has no one brought up Amber's drug use?

[@aldrigforsent8862]

Rate my cross: Regarding damages expert: 1. Have any of the actors you used as benchmarks for Ms. Heard defecated in their marital bed? 2. Have any of the actors you used as benchmarks for Ms. Heard had audio tapes released where they mock their partner as a “Man who is a victim of DV”? 2.1: Have any of the actors you used as benchmarks for Ms. Heard had audio tapes released where they dare their partner to file a DV report because they will not be believed based on their sex or gender? 3. Have any of the actors you used as benchmarks for Ms. Heard had audio recordings released where they admit to abusing their partner? 4. Now. Do you, aside from Ms. Heard, know of any other actors who’s careers went on a downward trajectory after having been outed as a liar or domestic abuser? 5. Is it safe to assume that IF such news came out about an actor, that it would have a negative effect? 6. Is it safe to assume that hashtags supporting their victims would be more likely to trend as a result of such materials being released? 7. Is it your position that it’s the victims fault if their abuser is called out by hundreds of thousands of people who have considered the evidence for themselves? 8. So… you can’t tell me that you’ve used comparable actors. Neither can you tell me that Ms. Heard didn’t shit the bed of her career by lying about Mr. Depp, defecating on her husbands side of the bed, or having committed gender based coercion and intimidation. CAN YOU?! Nothing further your honor.

also, it's almost sickening to know that Amber could have easily gotten away with making the world think Johnny was an abuser if she just wouldn't have embellished so extravagantly and if she just wasn't so damn nuts. the world was primed and ready to believe her... hell they already did. all she has to do was spoon feed us the abuse details and it woulda been over for Johnny. scary .

Can either team have the judge removed from the case if they found that she was properly representing the court properly. For instance: The judge giving Elaine instructions and help with how to ask a question. Allowing the jury to hear and witness things that were inappropriate?

[@minxikedesh5173]

I believe the reason all her former friends have parted ways is the avoid any repercussions for their involvement in Amber's faux story of abuse. I have no doubt they each assisted her in not only manipulating/using JD, staging scenes and affirming her lies. Now that the situation has reached this magnitude, they've bailed. Whitney unfortunately is connected by blood and probably feels obligated to support Amber out of both fear and love for family.

[@HoldenCoughfield]

This is exactly what I thought. It's way too coincidental that each one of them would stop being friends with her immediately after the narrative flipped on Amber in favor of Depp. Not to mention Rocky and Whitney both have "alleged" histories of Amber being abusive towards them. Whitney literally said on camera Amber physically hit her.

The psychologist (Dr. Curry) in court testimony provided one of the best clinical descriptions of Amber Heard and what it means to be Bat $hit Crazy and also inadvertently provided a new meaning for what "Amber Alert" means. Rumor has it that after AH's testimony during the trial in May16, 2022, the American Law Society has issued its very first and precedence setting "Amber Alert" warning to all lawyers.💥

[@jamesmccrea4871]

I caught my hand in a door once (the wind caught it slammed it shut), it broke the nail of the middle finger into three pieces, bled like hell, no damage or bruises on the other fingers, no broken bones, even in the middle finger. Classic crush injury. So, yeah, with a wooden DOOR smashing three fingers between it and frame, only one was damaged or even bruised. Of course, a rounded bottle could smash only one finger and leave the other undamaged, the direction of the soft tissue injury is consistent with a sharp object slicing through at an angle, like a large piece of broken glass. As an ex-EMT, I found the Ortho ignorant of the case, ignorant of the injury, and either very mistaken or intentionally misleading in his description of the injury. The description of the injury, as given by Depp, and the images of the injury are completely consistent and Camille was wonderful in pointing that out.

[@marianl3447]

I love these so much. I had lots of questions but all of them get answered even though i don't make it to the live stream and watch later. It's helpful for me to see and compare your perceptions with my own from watching the trial before i watch your reviews of it----to see and check on the accuracy of my own awareness and to expand that. It also helps in how you explain in laymen terms and so simply , the basis of your analysis and perceptions so i never just 'accept' yours if different from my own but can intelligently choose to change or stay with my own opinions. I am excited about the fact that I have come from each day with pretty much the same conclusions , perceptions, understanding, and opinions as yours. I have referred so many to your vids/channel...and have said this before , but it grows even more with each stream :You are so good at what you do, how much you love it shows and it's very exciting to see that in addition to ...the fact that (as so many others have expressed) you seem so far above any other videos and law you tubers for giving folks a real education on law and trials and all aspects of these and other related issues and as others have pointed out....in the most objective and informative ways. For me what you tell us and how explain it has also ALSO been helpful for improving communications and perceptions in general which is useful in our daily lives as well. So i think what this provides is a huge contribution to our future and our world at large.

[@cliffvaughsremembered8142]

Excellent analysis. I agree with everything you identified as things that should have been done or could have been done. Yes the Depp team is in a different class than AH's, but they still have areas they could do better, Unfortunately, it's not unusual for the senior partner (like Dennison) in a lawsuit to come in to do some of the most important cross to justify their fees to the client, even though the associates (like Camille) may know the case better. Keep up the good work.

[@cherylannwrites]

I agree. The only thing I differ in opinion on is Dennison not switching the narcissistic stuff on Amber Heard. It's been said before and I've seen how well it works, if you let the jury come to their own conclusions, it's a much stronger belief. This jury has been said by lawyers in the gallery, is dismissive of Amber Heard, so they already have her behaviour and drug use in their minds and they'll have come to that conclusion all on their own.

[@smurfmonster]

I think Elaine’s CONSTANT PUBLIC arguing of objections from the lectern instead of approaching the judge is massively unethical. I don’t know why the judge hasn’t pulled her up on it! She’s done it consistently since day 1 and by doing it she’s getting her point across to the jury regardless of it being admitted into evidence or not. JD’s team NEVER do it, they always request to approach to discuss. Elaine’s “ I don’t feel it is what I’m doing is” is getting beyond a joke now and it’s starting to feel as if Elaine’s running the courtroom and not the judge.

[@marthienel2190]

Absolutely. I ask myself if the Judge is overawed by the lawyers or is simply lazy. Running a tight courtroom administratively but a sloppy one legally.

We should just give it more credit to the jurors, they are not blind, the judge could do anything she wanted, but she is letting go, because time Amber is burying themselves. It is not the judge job to keep them from doing that, it is her job letting the best time win. Love the judge, she is a good judge with an impossible and unbelievable bad time on Amber side to deal with.

@@laurenmay2098 It IS the judge’s job to deal with that tho. I agree with you I think she’s done a fantastic job in a difficult situation and this is my one and only criticism of her. That being said stopping Elaine doing this is really basic stuff and all the judge has to do is tell Elaine to stop it’s no biggie. The fact she doesn’t gives the impression that Elaine can do what she likes which is unfair on the judge.

Could Depp's team still use the narcissism traits Heard's expert mentioned today in their closing arguments even though it wasn't mentioned on cross? He testified that needing admiration and manipulation are narcissistic traits and Camille already likely convinced the jury that Heard lied about donating to charity. Can they still argue in closing that if one of them has narcissistic traits it's Amber?
