What to Know About Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s Defamation Trial

ADMIN REMINDER:

Websleuths Victim Friendly rule does not allow members to poke fun at an alleged victim, trash them, or blame them for what they claim has happened to them.

If you want to do any of the above, WS isn't the place to do it.

ETA: Hopefully this clarifies ...

Johnny Depp has claimed defamation. Amber Heard is counter suing and has claimed DV.

Members shouldn't be poking fun at or trashing either of them. If you wish to make a respectful point based on known fact, that's fine, but please leave snarky comments about appearances and attire out of this discussion.

ADMIN NOTE:

While this case has something for everyone to at, WS still aims to be above the fray of the rest of the internet by following these key TOS:

- social media comments are not allowed.
- if you “saw” it or “heard” it but don’t have a link to substantiate it, it is considered rumor and subject to removal.

'You called Mr Depp an idiot'

Psychiatrist David R Spiegel is asked by Johnny Depp's lawyer about the actor's "processing speed". Part of the doctor's testimony has been that he has witnessed "cognitive decline" during Depp's testimony. He says it is slower than one would expect for a man aged 58 (Depp is 58).

He is also asked if it's true he called Depp "an idiot" in his written testimony. He says he may have said he was an idiot, for the way he was planning to give a video deposition just the night before it was required. The doctor says: "If I said he was an idiot, I meant an idiot in planning... I don't know his IQ".



During the doctor's questioning Depp is listening intently, and at point smiles a little at heated moments (of which there are many, as Dr Spiegel seems to be quite an animated character).

Is this man's testimony on her clock, or his, or split between, depending upon which side is asking the questions?

 

[BUF]

Did they pay this guy just to eat up Team Depp’s time left?

I’m sorry but this is the comic relief we needed. I’m enjoying this! This witness is a character. Can’t wait to hear how the jury is responding! I’m lol’ing like a lunatic!

Poor Alejandro has lost his spot

I am about to check out. While Dennison has scored some decent points in discrediting this witness I am disappointed that he hasn't gone in on the correlations between what Siegel (sp?) projects onto JD and the behaviors we have heard ascribed to AH.

I am let down so far with this cross, I think it could have been much more impactful for the jury.

If I had to choose, I'd hire the alpacas.

You must watch Runkle Of The Bailey!? He is great!

 

[Kiranerys]

I think the Dr. is enjoying the verbal sparring.

Unlike the judge!

This witness is squirrelly and knows how to answer questions to help his client. He’s forceful and overbearing. I’m not impressed with this atty at all. The purpose of cross is to maintain control of the narrative through questioning. This atty is flipping pages and seems like he’s coming up with questions on the fly. Poor cross!

 

[Ontario Mom]

This witness has absolutely no idea how to read a room. Or a courtroom. Or how to simply answer yes or no.

 

[tlcya]

HERE WE GO, MDMA, please don't let me down Dennison. Please get into AH's prolific and regular drug and alcohol use. Please. If this guy can opine on JD without ever having seen him he should be able to opine on AH, based on her behaviors as described in testimony and deps.

I tend to think he knows exactly what he is doing .. we just aren't aware of game plan

 

[Kiranerys]

spotlight. He's enjoying it. He (in my non medical opinion) fancies himself the smartest man in the room no matter the room. JMO

He's wrong

 

[Really?]

LOL. !!!
this is the post of the day !

and so true !


Moo

This witness is so wonky, if he stood up and did cartwheels, it actually wouldn't surprise me.
This is crazytown.

I wonder how much he was paid for his performance on the stand today.

 

[tlcya]

why is Dennison letting this guy run on and on, narrow him down to yes or no. Stop letting this non expert expert run this cross sir!
