Ok, there was a lady outside the courthouse dressed like poop. She was wearing a poop hat, a brown cropped top, and a brown tutu.

She actually looks kind of cute. My daughter has a poop emoji hat; this might be a Halloween costume idea for her.

I checked out early as well, before my brain turned to mush. I'll miss the afternoon today so I'm looking forward to all of your brilliant commentary! (I'll be back this evening, with mega-pints for all, as I'm sure we'll need them)

Me three. I have an appointment and will miss part of the afternoon session. (I'm on the west coast).

I paused so I wouldn't miss anything. AH is looking more personable when the comes into to the courtroom. I wonder if that's her PR firm at work.

Today's session is now under way

Johnny Depp's attorney Ben Chew is addressing Judge Penney Azcarate.

Mr Chew is requesting the judge strikes Amber Heard's counterclaim against Depp, saying the actress has not proven that a lawyer for Depp, Adam Waldman, made statements about her with "malice".

He also says Heard is "not entitled to immunity" for her Washington Post article.

A reminder: Depp is suing Heard for $50m an article she wrote about domestic violence which was published in the Washington Post in December 2018; Heard is countersuing Depp for $100m over statements Mr Waldman made about her over her allegations against Depp.

JD looks very spiffy this morning….

 

[JackieP]

I have hearings most of the day today, but I am watching the chat to see what's going down.

What do you do for work? I have hearings all day too. I do remote court reporting and wish I could watch the trial live!

 

[katydid23]

This is a nice summary by JD team right now

 

[gloomy]

I do agree with BC and am team JD - but I think this strike will be denied in my none professional opinion.

 

[khaki]

feel like I need to read up on Anit-SLAPP policy, never heard of it before

I hear public assistance appeals for my state. I am able to listen when I'm in between hearings, or on writing days.

In March, Depp's lawyers sought a ruling that Heard could not invoke as part of her defence a Virginia law - known as an anti-SLAPP provision (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) - designed to protect people from nuisance lawsuits when they speak out about matters of public interest.

However, Heard's lawyers argued that her article addressed a serious issue of public concern - preventing domestic violence - and the judge ruled in her favour.

The ruling does not give Heard immunity for what she wrote, but meant she was allowed to make this argument to a jury as part of her defence.

She refused to sign the pledge card? LMAO after all that bull about her 'pledging' ALL of her divorce settlement?

 

[khaki]

love Ben Chew's take-down of the ACLU, what a shameful fall from grace for that organization and its noble founding principles
