VA - Johnny Depp's defamation case against ex Amber Heard, who countersued #8

[gloomy]

I wonder why the witness wants to speak?

Because it was AH or her friends who leaked the video to him. MOO it will prove she lied about leaking the vid to TMZ.

Edit - spelling.

 

[Anxala]

and even that seems to be based on AH's account. I believe the only thing JD admitted was his addiction to pain meds (was it Roxi something?) .. he did not believe he had any other addictions and had never been treated for any others? Not that he didn't drink and smoke mary jane (is that still a word?) lol I'm showing my age. I know he drank and done some drugs like half of hollywood .. but I do think AH tried to make it look way worse then what it was.

^ No. And it's depressing that his long-documented chronic addiction issues are still being downplayed at this very late stage of the game. It does him no favours and it does the awful damage caused by chronic addiction no favours either. Addiction is a disease and it's such a very bleak one and no one wins with denial, neither the addict not those who excuse it and/or try to minimise it. Depp is suffering from a disease that he's in denial about because he has no control over it.

Here, in his very own words -

I feel JD will do just fine at cross. The jury is now accustomed to his slow, measured, think heavy speech mannerism. I think he comes across as less rehearsed and less overly dramatic, in sharp contrast to Ms. Heard on the stand. I think the jury will follow JD and find him to be genuine in what he is saying. I believe attempts at cross to vilify him will fall as flat as I think they did during his initial appearance on the stand.

I just wonder how much time is left for the defense. I didn't hear them say an exact amount of time this morning like they said they'd tell us.

Who Is Lydia Fillip? Flight Attendant to Shed Light on Depp-Heard Trial

Fillip, a corporate flight attendant, reportedly witnessed an argument between the former couple onboard a 2015 private jet.

Apart from anything else, as a guitar player he will be affected by the missing fingertip.
Moo

And we all know how that fingertip is so important to him...

MOO JMO

The judge was sympathetic to Mr. Depp's discomfiture and opted for a moment of levity. I like this judge and the way she manages her courtroom.

I also like her. She's kept control without being the center of attention. It's a pretty admirable characteristic that she can do this without making it a cult of personality thing. IMO.

Betting her version of events on the plane sound a lot more based in reality than AH's testimony which was later parroted by Dr. Hughes as proof of AH's victimhood. I can't wait to hear this presumably normal person's take on how that flight went.

We may as well have our drinks handy for all the objections and sidebars during this testimony

Mega pints

I wonder if EB will ask him if JD is going to pay his fine when TMZ sues him for breaking his NDA.

I was wondering if this was the Boston plane incident or the plane to Russia incident. Okay. Sounds like the Boston plane.

 

[Kiranerys]

This poor judge. Think she is ready for this trial to be over.

When she sighed and almost rolled her eyes "Mr Rottenborn, we almost made it to lunch" was everything

 

[Kiranerys]

Well buckle up for the after lunch session. I am looking forward to hearing MT about the TMZ stuff. I think JD will handle cross ok, I should imagine he’s emotionally totally drained though.

I'm thinking that cross will be much shorter now that they need to conserve their time for objecting to EVERYTHING for the TMZ witness!

What was the snark from Ben? I may have missed it.

I think he exhibits an authentic human being with real emotions, and I was definitely thinking the same thing as you “less rehearsed”. He doesn’t appear to look at the jury for approval either, I do believe these words were coming straight from his heart, and this whole experience has been and still is very painful for him. I think his occasional little humorous digs are just his way of dealing with this. All my non-professional opinion …

I still stand by what I said .. there is a difference between abuse of alcohol and certain substances and an actual addiction. But that is MOO .. and I believe he testified that he had never had to go through addiction recovery for anything other than Oxy.

He said TMZ was not Edward R Murrow.

BC said that TMZ is not Edward R Murrow. IIRC
