Oh wow "doodling and eating candy". Purleeease

and just as she was starting to get some sympathy from JD's supporters

 

[LaborDayRN]

Speigel reminds me of Sam the Eagle. Lol

lol, you made me choke on my coffee with that one!

 

[wasnt_me]

I'm going to guess they didn't get their moneys worth

AH probably thinks she's spending JD's money because she probably thinks he'll have to pay her court fees.

[Shelby1]

I took a nap in order to not have to hear this jerk. AND HE'S STILL ON!!!! ARRRRGH!!!!

 

[rebelchild]

Now Elain is asking Dr. S to opine on the photos of alleged destruction committed by JD. good lord can this just end already this witness is a joke MOO

I think he's going to be surprised to see tic tok and twitter tonight

 

[gloomy]

Do addicts lie? Non addicts lie too. MOO

 

[BetteDavisEyes]

I've been watching NBC YouTube feed today and noticed that they rarely show AH. JD has been highly visible throughout the day.

 

[whitelilac]

Oh come on....I look like that when I nod off on a flight

Elaine really should not be doubling down on the narc traits bit with Dr. S. I think the jury will notice some er, correlations, shall we say to her client.

so many of us have thought that, so I’d be surprised if at least one or more of the jurors had not thought the same thing.

 

[squareandrabbet]

Did Elaine just say ‘megateen’ for ‘milligram’?

 

[rebelchild]

AH probably thinks she's spending JD's money because she probably thinks he'll have to pay her court fees.

Would not surprise me .. entitlement is like a full time job to her .. MOO

 

[tlcya]

Next witness Catherine Arnold. Thank goodness I was drifting off.

ETA she is being presented as an Entertainment industry expert.

 

[LaborDayRN]

I can't believe the defense is spending so much time on what in my opinion is a "expert witness" who instead of bolstering their case is only hurting it. I wonder if AH is questioning her choice of a defense team?

 

[Amster]

Who knew that my hubby falling asleep in his computer chair was a sign of something relating to IPV??

Battered Woman Syndrome

Amber Heard's lawyer Elaine Bredehoft is now re-questioning psychiatrist David R Spiegel, who is an expert witness for the actress's team.

Dr Spiegel is now asked about Battered Woman Syndrome (BWS) which he says can sometimes be confused with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPI) (the court has previously heard Amber Heard suffered from BPI). Dr Spiegel says many of the symptoms are similar. He also says BWS is "a form of PTSD".

The doctor is also asked about behaviours caused by taking the drug MDMA and additionally the destruction of property which he says is linked to intimate partner violence. The doctor says property destruction is a form of control.

The court is shown images of damage to Depp's home in Australia, which took place in an incident which occurred in March 2015, and the doctor says such damage would be consistent with attempts at control and intimidation.

The images shown to the court include a painted over canvas, a mirror with graffiti on and a graffitied lamp, all of which Heard says Depp did:
