"If Mr. Depp was truly innocent, why has he repeatedly apologized to Ms. Heard and promised to put the 'monster away for good.' One of Ms. Heard’s disappointments is Mr. Depp’s inability to distinguish fact from fiction – a malady which appears to have spread to his legal team. That same team is so panicked they are fighting tooth and nail to prevent compelling evidence and photos from being introduced. Small wonder Mr. Depp does not have the fortitude or courage to even look at Ms. Heard at all throughout the proceedings – as he could not in the UK trial - and, instead he doodles and snickers. Mr. Depp’s behavior in this trial has been as pitiful as it was in their marriage. Apparently, they feel they must double-down on their demonstrably losing two-part strategy: distract the jury and demonize the victim."
Perhaps I'm reading too much into it, but I think Amber had her hand in drafting the statement, especially the part about Johnny not looking at her. I could see it as the sort of thing that could really bother her.
Also I remember the Dailymail had quoted an insider earlier in the trial, that Johnny not acknowledging Amber was hurting her.
Meh I don't believe it at all TBH. Everything points to Amber lying. I'm not trying to be argumentative for the sake of winning any debate and am open to be corrected, but I honestly do not think so.
Everything on Amber's side is innuendo and accusations. And she is definitely lying in some parts of her testimony going by video.
Prime example: The incident where Depp's finger was severed in Australia. According to Amber's team, Depp did it himself. And also terrorized and beat the shit out of her her for 3 days during that same time. Dragging her by her hair across glass and all these other accusations. Also was completely naked because he stripped her clothing off LOL
Well those stories are completely diametrically opposed. One party is definitely lying. Well here's the video right afterward when the nurse and others came in during the aftermath.
Just listen to the audio. Remember: They DO NOT KNOW THEY'RE BEING RECORDED. This phone that was left on the table recording.
Their doctors and bodyguards are at the home, looking for the finger, wondering wtf to do. Amber is distraught and fretting that she loves him... poor Johnny...
10:26 - I never meant to hurt him" (10:30) and "I didn't do it on purpose."
12:25 - Did I do... this to the whole... floor?
30:40 "All I was poppin was Xanax, Adderall, Ecstasy and hallucinogens."
31:03 "Jerry, my heart's broke and I feel like I'm not gonna get him back. I fucked up. I feel so stupid."
Jerry's like, 'Naw, girl, don't worry, everyone loves you. Why don't you tell us all about it on the way to the airport?"
Why in the world are the nurse and others not concerned at all about Heard's condition if she "supposedly" was beat for 3 days straight? Why no talk of bringing her to the hospital? C'mon man. It's super obvious.
23:30 is another moment in the tape that I find very unsettling.
Jerry talking (whispering) to Ben:
“Be careful mate. Even when she’s in there - up in her room, she listens to you.”
Like, they sound afraid of her. And they all talk about how manipulative she is, and to be careful.
It sounds like they’re talking about Hannibal fuckin’ Lecter not Amber Heard.
