I thought it was proving both DV and SA... since one of the counts includes SA in the headline, but I could be wrong.

No, I think you are right; because one of the commenters on CourtTV said something the other day about the SA, and I was thinking, Hey, we haven't heard/had any questions about SA, really... again, I know it was brought up in the UK case, so not a surprise for me in that respect; but then I thought, Oh well, maybe it's coming up...

Not sure what you mean by files? Many videos are available on YouTube. I'm watching along with a YouTuber named IckedMel.
Also Court TV channel has hours of video from the AH /JD trial- each labeled by date & description. Just scroll down.

Well, if anyone ever thought/believed she didn't have enough money to pay her debts and pledges because she's oh so poor due to having to pay the lawyers; they know differently now.

I mean, I imagine this is expensive, but also... half a million dollars in legal fees pays quite a few top drawer lawyers at $900/more per hour, for quite a long time.

I think this is the first time that it was testified by anyone, that she has in fact been paid in full.

I have to admit, I'm also kind of curious how much time (if any) he is going to spend looking directly at her next week while she's on the witness stand.

If I were he, I'd stare fixedly and distantly just past her, expressionless, for the entire time. Maybe at her ear...

A surrogate fee is around $100,000- 150,000.
So there is that…

IMO

How much of Heard's $7m divorce settlement went to charity?

Terence Dougherty, from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), tells the court he studied law at Columbia University and previously worked for the law firm Patterson Belknap.

He tells the court he was the ACLU's first in-house lawyer and he is now the chief operating officer and general counsel.

Johnny Depp's lawyer asks if he knows how much money Amber Heard has donated to the ACLU.

Mr Dougherty says he does but asks if the lawyer means direct payments or payments on her behalf.

He says Heard has paid £350,000 directly. Indirectly, £100,000 has been paid as a cheque from Depp and two other payments totalling $850,000 - a total of $1.3 million.

This is relevant as Heard said she donated her $7m divorce settlement to the ACLU and Children's Hospital Los Angeles.

"It's fair to say that she has not donated $3.5 million as of today," Depp's lawyer asks and Mr Dougherty says this is "true".

The $100,000 from Depp is credited towards the amount, Mr Dougherty says. He says they asked Heard if it should be, and she said it should.
The ACLU’s involvement in Heard’s op-ed sure seems sleazy.

I just Googled it. Unbelievable!! She's spent almost 1/3 of her life in court battles. Was the battle with EM resolved? I think when it comes her time to testify, we may have a warning for mature audiences only. It just gets more crazy. I'm proud to say I never heard of AH and only EM when he was buying Twitter. JD because of Edward Scissorhands...a movie I loved. This is truly a can of worms for all. This whole mess is just so wrong and beyond the pale to me.

Absolutely agree. Who knows maybe an acredited and known organización. Along comes Amber with her plan, they fell for it. Totally stupid to have accepted direct payments from Depp or Musk. They knew what was due and from whom.

Embryos are frozen all the time...

Freezing Embryos
  • The procedure involves removing eggs from the ovaries, fertilizing them to create embryos, letting them grow for several days and then freezing them.
  • When thawed, the fertilized eggs — embryos — can be implanted either in the patient or in another person.
  • Embryo transfer with thawed frozen embryos is widely used today, and pregnancy rates are similar, and sometimes even higher, than with embryos that have not been frozen.
  • The first successful procedure took place in the late 1980s.

Waste is the word - how come a jury must listen to this tale of a totaĺly disippitated pair who had more money than manners or respect. It is a waste of time, money, resources and probably neither will win.

Question to both: was it worth putting local employees and friends through this?

Even it is obvious that both were absolute wasters? IMO

Many thanks for clarificación!

Whose were they in this casé?

In any casé not Depp. Probably, ID there is any truth, Elon Musk, but dont think so.

Was AH working during the time she and Depp were married?

IMO, from that damning testimony yesterday, it sounded like Heard used the aclu, and they used her…and Musk had a role in this whole thing…which is probably why his attorney released a statement that he would not be appearing in the trial the evening before this deposition was to be played in court.

The fact that Heard wanted this article released just after Aquaman was released shows she was after the publicity and the aclu agreed. Timing is everything…ya know?

Although she won’t start presenting her case until next week, so far it appears the publicity that she was seeking has turned into the publicity she didn’t want. moo

We’ll see what happens…



Musk Likely Paid Portion Of Amber Heard’s Pledged ACLU Donations, Exec Testifies

Dougherty believes the $500,000 payment came from a fund linked to Musk, who Heard dated briefly after her marriage to Depp ended.

Musk emailed an ACLU executive in 2016 on Heard’s behalf and said she would donate the money over a 10-year-period, though she never signed a pledge prepared for her by the organization, Dougherty said, according to Insider and Deadline.

I binge watched all of Pirates some time ago.Glad I did because JD is a great Jack Sparrow! Even more so since he revealed how Disney orig cast Sparrow and then how JD recreated the character.
I loved JD as Tonto in The Lone Ranger too. Google the( funny) outtakes. The cast loved him ..visa versa. He’s a good guy.
I’m hoping this trial restores his career.
Jealous AH needs to go away.
MOO
