Depp opening: You'll hear from multiple witnesses....saw a surveillance video from that week that shows #AmberHeard's sister throwing a "fake punch" at Heard's face & them laughing about it. Chew says - would a sister of a victim of abuse be laughing about something like that?
Heard opening: #JohnnyDepp sexually assaulted #AmberHeard in Australia. He took 8-10 tablets of ecstacy. The next 3 days were very violent. He has hurled bottles at her, dragged her, punched her....then he "penatrates her with a liquor bottle." @LawCrimeNetwork @Niner

When #JohnnyDepp and #AmberHeard moved to the Eastern Columbia building, he owned 5 apartments, according to his sister. Depp/#AmberHeard had the penthouse. Heard's sister had an apt, one of Heard's friends and one of Depp's friends. All lived for free per sister.

Depp's sister testified if #JohnnyDepp's kids weren't able to join him on set for a movie, he had written into his contracts that he would leave every other weekend to visit his kids.

Depp's sister went to dinner with #AmberHeard after Australia. Heard said her and #JohnnyDepp had a fight when they were there. Dembrowski told her that kind of fighting wasn't normal. Heard told her to stay out of their marriage. That Depp liked that she was feisty.
The court hours for the #JohnnyDepp v. #AmberHeard trial are 10am-4pm. Obviously 4pm is not a hard out time. Court is still in session with Depp's sister under cross-examination. @LawCrimeNetwork
Depp's sister's testimony clearly sounds rehearsed....imo. Looking forward to cross on this witness. Essentially her testimony puts blame on their mother (abuse), speaks to Depp being a humble, family man devoted to his children. Sister says she has had many career positions working for Depp. So, she has been on Depp's payroll for many years.
For those who don't have cable, Court TV is also on over the-air-stations in much of the country. You can check to see if it's available in your area: Where to Watch - Court TV
Depp's sister is so evasive and plots every word...she looks awful on cross. Keeps up about the mother. Denies knowledge of drug use. A really bad witness.
