Holy balls. Witness >> lawyer.

You’re referring to the expert witness, the psychologist who was answering questions on the witness stand, right?
I am not quite sure what you mean by “witness >> lawyer” in this instance.

I'm sure this is true.

The witness was significantly more physically attractive than the lawyer.

I really haven’t been paying attention very well, and I really haven’t cared too much, but the general impression I am getting is the while he’s fvcked up, Depp is nowhere near the douchebag we thought he was and Heard is far more frigging insane…

Yeah. Basically they're both nuts, but she's evil and he's simply crazy.

Yeah, I think his mom abused him or something? But it’s sounding like he shouldn’t have lost his movie roles the last few years, and that has cost him millions thanks to the whole #believeallwomen

Well, #believeallwomen and the nature of the allegations against him perfectly fit the particular brand of evil-crazy Heard suffers from.

She is a really good witness. She answers the questions appropriately, and calls out mischaracterization by plaintiff's attorney. She shuts up when appropriate and lets the legal team fight it out. Under direct examination, she looks at the jury, explaining things. She's engaging and human, smiles.

You can watch her testimony here (with commentary by an attorney as is progresses) here. Start at about 1:30.

Edit to add...

Watch this cross examination with comments beginning at about 4:21.

Secondly, I am surprised that Depp hired her. She is a great witness, as I said, and she seems to hold up under cross very well. But, the fact that she is not board-certified, though not a direct problem with respect to her ability, does paint a bit of a negative picture to the jury ("Why aren't you board-certified? Did you fail the exams, or just couldn't be bothered?"). One of the finest surgeons I ever worked with (open heart) never got his boards. He'd never find a spot on a staff today.

I think it is inappropriate to talk about that witness without mentioning how physically attractive she is.

A commentator on Rikeitas feed says that the trial should be decided by a mud-wrestling match between the psychologist and Heard.

The dinner and drinks line was particularly disturbing to me.

In what way, that Heard's attorney was trying to mischaracterize the meeting?

Bigotry against the physically attractive. Something with which I am unfortunately very familiar. The lawyer’s assumptions that Depp and the witness had a romantic relationship is no different than assumptions that people of color are criminals.

I just learned that Ms Heard was married to a woman for several years before her relationship with Depp.

I just learned that Ms Heard was married to a woman for several years before her relationship with Depp.

Heard publicly came out[clarification needed] in 2010, but has stated, "I don't label myself one way or another—I have had successful relationships with men and now a woman. I love who I love; it's the person that matters."[84] In 2018, Heard revealed that she had been warned not to come out as bisexual, as it could negatively impact her career.

Heard was in a relationship with photographer Tasya van Ree from 2008 to 2012. Heard had her last name legally changed to van Ree during the relationship and reverted to her birth name in 2014.[2] In 2009, Heard was arrested in Washington state for misdemeanor domestic violence, after allegedly grabbing van Ree and hitting her arm, but was never charged. The arrest only became public knowledge during Heard's divorce proceedings from actor Johnny Depp in 2016, after which van Ree issued a statement that Heard had been "wrongfully" accused and that the incident had been "misinterpreted and over-sensationalized".

OMG, and then there's this!

Following her divorce from Johnny Depp, Heard dated tech entrepreneur Elon Musk for a year, until early 2018.

It does make you curious about Amber when she's on her game, reeling in the biggest catches in the world. She is a genius in her way.

Yes. Totally.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Now, can we talk about mud wrestling again?
