Depp v Heard
-
Her sobby performance was cringey. I guess she really wanted to give that performance, because it opened her up to the cross, which didn't go well for her.

@Mik said in Depp v Heard:
She likes girls?
As a matter of fact...
Heard publicly came out in 2010,[94] 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".[95]
Heard was in a relationship with photographer Tasya van Ree from 2008 to 2012.[94][96] 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 was made public during Heard's divorce proceedings from actor Johnny Depp in 2016, after which a statement was issued by Heard's publicist in which van Ree said that Heard had been "wrongfully" accused, that the incident had been "misinterpreted and over-sensationalized" and that she recalled "hints of misogynistic attitudes toward us which later appeared to be homophobic when they found out we were domestic partners and not just 'friends'."The female officer that conducted the arrest is openly a lesbian herself.
The female cop testified yesterday.

Both sides rested today. Closing testimony was from Amber Heard talking about the abuse she suffered.
Her cross-examination by Depp's attorney was the stuff you see in movies. It was brutal and devastating.
For example, in 2016 she got a restraining order against Depp because he beat her up.
TMZ was there at the courthouse ("I wonder how that happened?" the attorney asked). Here is the photo of her at the courthouse.
Here's Amber the next day.

I caught the last hour of today's testimony. That cross examination reminded me of a Columbo episode, where Peter Falk gets the bad guy so worked up that they unwittingly admit to the crime.
I could not eat enough popcorn.

@Friday I've been following some legal livestreams during the trial. It's a bunch of geeky lawyers commenting during the case. The commentary during the cross examination is damning.
Here's one:
Link to video@George-K The attorney is asking her to call other people liars, which she is right to not do. She doesn't have to agree with their testimony.

I listened to this interview, but could not see the video. It was blocked for me.
Anyway, it is an interview with Amber Heard trying to defend herself.
