Amber testified that Johnny struck her face (I think it was a head-butt) and broke her nose. She took a photo.
There's another photo, a day later....

I'll defer to the plaintiff's attorneys to find this (and there's a 10 day pause in the trial so the judge can attend a conference), and I'm sure they will.
So, who's the better makeup artist? The one on 12/15 or the one on 12/16?

I watched the cross-examination of Heard by Depp's team today.
Wow. This was stuff that, unlike what you see on TV, would play in primetime. Depp's lawyer was slow, focused, and methodical. She was able to point out all of Heard's inconsistencies, her errors, and her omissions.
I have no idea if the jury will buy it, but it was convincing to me.

Pretty much everything I see online seems to be people supporting Depp.
I guess it's only the jury that matters.

I suspect the unspoken backlash against the excesses of #MeToo looms large in the minds of many.

There was an attorney in the gallery. He and other attorneys have been paying attention to the jurors, and he made some interesting observations.
-
When the cross started, "everyone in the jury woke up." The defense's attorney had a rambling, incoherent exposition of unconnected facts. When cross started, everyone started taking notes.
-
During one of the sidebars, Heard kept looking at the jury, and no one would make eye contact with her.
-
When the cross examination started, a thunderstorm had just begun outside, and there was a loud thunderclap. Several jurors smiled.
-
There was an audible gasp from the gallery when it became apparent that Heard never donated the money to charity that she got from Depp. This is evidence that she perjured herself during the trial in Great Britain.
-
The lawyer said that when court was done for the day, Heard's departure from the witness box was faster than a deer that just heard a gunshot. "If I could draw a cartoon, it would be an outline of her, with streaks behind."
It's gonna be a fun morning.

I'm binging a lot of the lawyers' streams during and after the day's testimony. Kinda fun, and with time on my hands, why not?
I learned a new term this morning when describing Amber Heard's sister.

Resting bitch face, also known as RBF, or bitchy resting face (BRF), is a facial expression that unintentionally appears like a person is angry, annoyed, irritated, or contemptuous, particularly when the individual is relaxed, resting, or not expressing any particular emotion.[1][2] The concept has been studied by psychologists and may have psychological implications related to facial biases, gender stereotypes, human judgement and decision-making.[3][4][5] The concept has also been studied by scientists with information technology.[clarification needed] Using a type of facial recognition system, they found that the phenomenon is real and the condition is as common in males as in females, despite the gendered word bitch that is used to name the concept.[6]

The strategy of this has been absolutely fascinating. The judge, who looks like a real hard-ass, has allowed each side 61 hours of testimony. She has said that, using a chess clock, she will cut a witness off mid-sentence once that time expires. As of Friday, the defense has about 8 hours left, and plaintiff (Depp) has....eighteen hours of time. What that means is that, once the 8 hours is done for Heard, Depp's team has more than 10 hours of unopposed testimony during rebuttal which plaintiff cannot cross-examine, etc.
Defense (Heard) has not rested, afaik. They plan to call at least one hostile witness tomorrow, and reportedly, that's going to be Depp. From what I've read they're going to try to show that Depp instructed his attorney to slander Heard.
It's remarkable how, in this day of #metoo, the tide has turned against Heard and pro-Depp. His team has done a good job of showing that it's possible for men to be abused (Heard has said, under oath, that she never struck Depp, but there's audio of her admitting it). In fact, a domestic violence support NGO has come out in support of Depp.
Remarkable case, and the total incompetence of Heard's team has been astonishing. The lead attorney, actually said, during redirect examination of Heard was interrupted by objections, "I'm trying here, your honor."
FFS.
It's been a circus, to be sure, but I've had fun.

Me, all my life. Not thinking anything in particular, had the RBF. Then when the 20th
personman, a stranger, walked by and said heartily, "Smile!" The RBF became a lot less R and a lot more B.

Watching this has been a really guilty pleasure for me. The strategies of the two sides has been remarkable, and have shown what good v bad lawyering is.
This trial has caused me to buy moar popcorn, by the way.

For me it was the OJ trial. Gawd, I was hooked through the gills on that thing, so much so that I actually suffered withdrawal when the verdict came in.

Apparently Heard testified that Depp was so violent when he assaulted her that he broke (chipped) the bed upon which he attacked her. This lawyer explains, using simple understanding of wood and how it works, how that's patently impossible. She lied.
