  • Day 14 kicked off with the cross examination of Dr. Dawn Hughes, a psychologist and expert witness for Amber Heard. Wayne Dennison performed the cross, one that divided opinion on the panel as to it's effectiveness. Following the cross Elaine Bredehoft returned for a brief redirect, before Dr. Hughes time on the stand ended.
    Next up was Amber Heard herself. Direct examination of Ms. Heard is being conducted by Elaine Bredehoft. The first part of Amber's testimony was about her early life and upbringing, before moving into her beginnings in Hollywood. After establishing some of the early details of her life and career Amber moved into detailing some of the early alleged incidents of abuse by Johnny Depp. She talked about incidents at his home, on the set of The Rum Diaries, and on a flight to Russia.
    We ended the day with Amber still in the early stages of her direct examination, and when things resume for Day 15 we will pick back up where we left off at the end of Day 14.

      I think the cross was enough for the jury to see the bias. I think anything more would have been showing Johnny’s side as the same as ambers side always digging into the witnesses on weird tangents. I thought it was short and effective from a layman’s perspective.

      Plus heck, the infamous Australian day where his finger was cut off, she said he cut the finger throwing bottles and penetrated her with one of the bottles, after punching her and dragging her naked on the glasses (I think she even said he broke her nose but maybe I’m mistaken).. and there’s audio of this outcome, not only showing her apologizing frenetically saying she didn’t meant to hurt him and that he needed her, but also no one else (including a nurse) acknowledging her bruises and situation, that would HAVE being noticeable if what she said was true.
      This alone is what made me understand this wasn’t an average toxic relationship case, is about one of them being dangerous to society, for either _doing_ all these things or _lying_ these things happened.

    It's funny her only witnesses from Johnnie's side that saw the abuse are Jerry Judge, who is dead, Lily-Rose and Jack, who are excluded from the trial and cant even be quoted, and the stewardess who isnt on the witness list. 🤔 Also, Lily-Rose has said in the past that Ambers story is false. But it can't be used in the courtroom.
    Also pretty ridiculous that Doctor Karen opened the door to previous abuse with her ex-wife, but the judge doesn't allow it in. Absolutely ridiculous. Amber has a litteral arrest for physical abuse of a spouse and it cant be used. WTF.

      Yeah I hate how they could never mention how she was literally arrested for DV but that can't be used to testify to the likelihood of her being the abuser rather than abused. It shows a clear pattern of behavior and is incredibly relevant to the case.
      Also, the kids 100% should NOT have to be involved in this in any way, but is there a specific reason to why they can't testify against her? I'm like 95% sure Lily-Rose is in her 20s now? And Jack too? Or is it a bias thing?

  • @palomaozores4133
    @palomaozores4133 Před 2 lety +122

    I remember how Dr. Curry said that people with the personality disorders that she diagnosed Amber with express themselves in a charismatic and sofisticated way, that feel empty, that lack emotion, Dr. Curry said that people with these disorders rarely said "I felt this way" or "I was x feeling"
    AH said a lot "he did this to me", "I stood there" "I did nothing" "I reacted this way" "I remember thinking this about this moment" but has never said throughout this testimony "I was scared" "I was paralised/shock due to my disbelive/fear" "I felt fear" and so more examples of emotions that she could have expresed but did not. The only emotions she expresed were embarasment (that applies to her ego and others percepcion of her) and love towards Johnny
    To put an example is not the same sayin "I felt that maybe if I said the right words I would be able to make it stop" than "I remember thinking to myself that maybe if I said the right words I would be able to make it stop". In an emmotional situation or when remembering one normal people will use the first one because in emotional situations you remember your emotions people with the personality disorders described by Dr. Curry will use the latter because their emmotions are all over the place all the time and fluctuating so is easier to remmember their rational rather than their emmotions
    I think that is whar Dr. Curry ment when she said that the stories of Amber were charismatic but were empty, and lack content
    PD: Sorry for my english I am from Spain
    PD2: all of this was obious to me because when Dr. Curry explained this I was confuse thinking can somebody would be able to describe these events without describing emmotions and then came Amber and to my surprise manage to do it

      @@VivCrepsley not really, I think I have only hear once from her lips the word "scared"and in only one of the incidents she remember feeling pain (the broken nose) which I find weird.
      On the other hand I have not hear from her lips the words terrified, nor fear, nor petrified, anxious, nervous, shaking, paralised, difficult bearthing, difficult swallowing, description of the way she was breathing, difficulties standing up due to the shaking of the knees, descriptions of the sound of her heart on her ears and none other physical trait or signals of fear, stress or pain that the body sends in the kind of situations she was describing.
      She has described horrible events, and cried/ making facial expresions of sorrow/pain while doing it, but she very very rarely has described how she was feeling during those events
      If you see the interview of the sisters that escaped the house of horrors (confirmed traumatic event) there are a lot of differences on the way they handle themselves, when they show facial emition and the way and words they use to describe their traumatic events
      And I know every victim is different but putting her testimony in combination with what Dr. Curry said, and comparing her testimony with interviews and testimonies of victims of other traumatic events, makes AH testimony even more odd (at least to me)

    I definitely struggled with her testimony. From the very beginning I said what Hoeg said. I’m a survivor, I have PTSD, send I genuinely WANT to believe her because who the HELL would lie about such things, but my GUT told me she was lying, even my little knowledge of body language showed me inconsistencies. But the things she alleged were triggering for me. It was hard to listen to but I did anyway. They are things I have been through, so I want very badly to believe her, but my theory is that she is explaining REAL situations that happened, but from Johnnys perspective, and it’s very possible that Johnny doesn’t even remember all of the details or every situation, because I sure don’t. I could not give you the level of detail that she gave in her testimony because my abuse has become very muddled in my memory, which I believe is a way our brains cope with the trauma.

      I so agree. I grew up in an abusive household until I was 18 (am 22 now) and I went into her testimony with a very open mind. I want her not to be lying. But I kept having this feeling like the way she was describing things just didn’t ring true.
      When I try to remember certain abuse incidents that happened just 5 years ago, I have blurred memory of some sections and that vividly remember others. I couldn’t tell you what exactly happened or was done/screamed in most of the incidents to be honest.
      The way she speaks about these events sounds more like she’s narrating a story. She switches between emotions - one moment she is seemingly crying uncontrollably (without any tears) and then within a couple of sentences she is perfectly composed. That’s just not how emotions work.
      I really wanted to believe her, but my gut is just screaming no.

      I suffered SA as a child and DV in my first long term relationship, I’ve being diagnosed with PTSD since a child also. Being made to speak about it is literally one of the worst things you have to do because a.) it’s humiliating and b.) it brings all the negative emotions associated with it back. You get visibly anxious/uncomfortable no matter how hard you try and stay composed, it is nearly impossible to suppress your emotions if you have diagnosed PTSD and your re-telling the traumatic events. She just seemed like she was telling someone else’s story. Her emotions/ gestures aren’t matching up with the trauma she’s meant to be feeling whilst recalling specific events and she seems COMPLETELY in control of everything she is saying and doing, which just screams liar.

    My mom suffered from BPD. When she and my dad split, she called his job claiming he was abusing her (the opposite was true) and tried to get him fired. Once when she got mad at me, she called my husband's boss and told them he was stealing from the company. She was an insanely good liar, and I believe it was because she came to believe her own lies. Evil exists for sure.

    If I'm honest, Dr. Hughes seems to have lost people even before her cross. She has a great resume, but I am sure she turned people off with that gender biased language and really put her impressive credibility at risk imo. A huge part of this case is that Depp's abuse isn't taking seriously, especially when there's evidence of Amber mocking him, because he's a man. It seems unwise to lean into that stigma with a doctor who doesn't appear to recognize it either. Maybe Heard's team was hoping this would bolster Amber's mocking tone, as if she's right to believe Depp's abuse isn't serious. I don't know any better really, but maybe an expert who has more experience with cases where women are abusers, and who still believes Amber, would have been far more effective, but idk maybe that play wasn't in their cards.

      Extream behaviors are comparable to her diagnosis from at least 1 comprehensive evaluation. Nothing that extream in behavior would go unnoticesd over time, there would be a pattern showing itself. JD has no history, yet she does.
      Like a drug habit. A cycle. A fix. Serotonin is released with each high. Depps avoidance of the emotional was made clear, and drugs for that reason were used, rather than conflict was also made clear.
      I hope cross evaluations bring up her tabloids too, in order to pollute the jury. Seems Heards team likes to cheat and set things up with great pra tice at at. JDs team needs to get more control and fight back. I'm afraid he might loose to the jury and steriopicatyical bias otherwise.
      Borderline personality can switch on and off, being very convincing. She was doing this, with building up generally being done for the times with no physical evidence, to bring attention towards emotions. Physical evidence inconsistent with the amount of detail she puts into everything else.
      I felt like I was listening to narration from a book, rather than an experience in my opinion. Too many exact descriptions from movie lines as well.
      Playing into sympathizers, for attention. Reminds me of Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSBP). Very hard to prove without evidence, when people enable her. Sure enough she now has a child for the next fix. My opinion.

    As someone who suffer both from PTSD and complex PTSD I just want to educate ya'll a bit. Complex PTSD is not mentioned in this case at all so I guess we are throwing that out the window - but it would have been a better diagnosis for Amber, be it true or not. PTSD is triggered by one or a few very traumatic events. Complex PTSD is developed over time if you are in an unsafe environment that you can't control. So someone who is in an abusive relationship for years can develop C-PTSD from it. But often it is something children develop - adults can, but it takes more for an adult as adults generally have much more autonomy than children.
    I developed C-PTSD from growing up under constant fear from my abusive mom, and PTSD from a single event where someone died in an accident right in front of my eyes. Big difference. I'm not a psychologist but I can confidently say that "IPV by Johnny" is not something you can list as a triggering even for PTSD. If they'd gone with C-PTSD or at least explained that they are talking about a different kind of PTSD they'd have more grounds to wiggle, but since they are saying specifically PTSD the criteria is clear that is has to be ONE or A FEW very traumatic (life threatening/changing) events. So for example you could get PTSD from an abusive partner if he/she for example tried to kill you or very, very seriously injured you. But then you'd list that specific event in the diagnosis notes.

      so I think technically since this is in court and everything has to be by the book so to speak...

    Re Doctor: It was definitely a disappointing cross, but not a complete failure. The medical forms being left blank during the test definitely came across as suspect to me. It felt very much like "oh, you decided this woman has PTSD based on what she said and then you did the CAP5 test as a formality." That combined with the Dr's misandrist tone from the previous day destroyed her credibility in my eyes.
    Re Amber: Her testimony was uncomfortable. I hate to call her a liar because, if she's telling the truth, then she experienced extreme levels of abuse. At the same time, she comes across as telling a story to serve her purposes instead of as telling what happened. For example, I agreed with your comments: it's very weird that she tried to paint Johnny as a creepy old man BEFORE she started dating him. I cannot speak for all woman, but I would certainly never date a man who I considered to be a creep and I can say with some confidence that the same is true for my close female friends. It's especially jarring because a few minutes later she talked about their instant chemistry during that time. So which was it? Was he a creep or were you into it? Are you portraying a welcome flirtation as creepy in retrospect just so that we all feel sympathy for you? Because that's what it feels like.
    Then it she went into the alleged abuse and she talks about horrific acts, but her only evidence is a photo of a small bruise on her arm? If you're photographing your damages, then why only photograph that? Was that really a bruise from abuse or did you just bump into something? Given all of Johnny's evidence to show how Amber lies, I just didn't buy a word she was saying. At this point, I'm not going to watch any more of her testimony. I'll listen to what comes after to see if she has any proof for what she's saying. If she doesn't, then I can't help but question everything she says and, as you said, she just feels evil.

    Yet another great recap, Alyte! For the first time in this trial, I felt like what I was seeing/hearing was getting to my own symptoms. And it wasn’t the tapes or pics of Vesuvius. It was Amber. Her tone/affect reminded me so much of my narcissistic mom who ALWAYS had to be the victim, that I bailed on her testimony. It was like watching the Little Mermaid and thinking ‘how is Prince Eric falling for this fake chick? Can’t he see she’s actually the monster?’

    Obviously there are so, so many things about what she is saying that don't add up. But one thing that was easy to tell was that Dr. Hughes said that Johnny had had denied a prenup saying "the only way you're getting out of this relationship is death" and that's supposedly why she got him the knife. When Amber told the story she said nothing about the prenup or even discussing marriage at that point. All she said was "it was something Johnny tended to say" or something like that.
    I'm a victim of abuse myself - although it was my mother, not a partner. I know first-hand how they change stories constantly. I think I can speak for most victims when I say that WE KNOW who is telling the truth in this case. Because we recognise the behaviour of both the abuser and the victim.

    I believe JD’s team were looking at time left in the trial and the fact that it may not be a completely good look to tear down a professional who had high qualifications. Also, it may not be a good look to tear her down since she clearly represents the system as she coaches judges and lawyers

  • @amammaof2
    @amammaof2 Před 2 lety +19

    I agree, they didn’t hammer Dr. Hughes as much as I’d like, she was so biased, even when she was generally describing behaviour to explain concepts, she constantly used female victims and male aggressors. Her explanation about just referring to ‘this case’ was weak. As far as Amber’s testimony, I’ve never seen someone ‘dry’ cry as much as she did. And it’s weird. As someone who was a victim of intimate partner violence and SA myself, talking about it was hard. Amber made faces and said she was mortified about talking about it, but made weird, uncomfortable eye contact with the jury the whole time. And I understand different people will react differently, but her words, and claims of how it made her feel, we’re not matched by her behaviour. It felt forced, and like this was all an act to me. Not once does she look down, and her stories were all over the place, with her stammering and going back to add details. That’s not generally how a truthful tale is told. Where Johnny said the bottle whizzed past his head and crashed, Amber said a glass went past her and crashed on the wall. Body language experts have pointed out truth tellers just describe what occurred that they personally experienced or saw. So unless she has eyes in the back of her head to have seen the glass crash on the wall, the experts would see as deceptive to add that it hit the wall. She didn’t see it hit the wall, that’s not how memory works. It’s adding details instead of simply telling the events as they occur. You’re replaying in your mind what played out, and truth tellers don’t add details that they don’t remember. Therefore, they feel his story rings true and would see her as embellishing to convince a listener of a terrible ‘fact’.
    In addition, when people experience grief or intense sadness, their nose runs. It’s involuntary. She’s been fine.
    And I think it’s also telling that she wants to be the hero of her story, the girl who was love bombed, and pushed into this, and swept off her feet, while taking no responsibility for the times that she chose to do drugs or chase him around the house. I noticed that she never initiated any of the issues according to her, whereas Johnny got up there and said, yah, I did stupid shit, I took drugs, I made bad choices. Not once did Amber make any bad choices in her version of events except for loving this man and thinking he could change. Like, come on….we heard her admit to stuff on tape, we saw and heard her taunting him repeatedly in tapes and videos, but her story is that she made no mistakes. But thus far, she’s just guilty of loving too much. Truth tellers aren’t trying to be the hero, they are simply laying it out. She’s minimizing her roles in every event. And from the sounds of it, she was cheating on Johnny. I mean, the night after his mom had died and they break up, this guy she claims to barely know, James Franco, just happens to come and spend the night. Come on. Earlier she was calling her husband of one month, ‘old and washed up’…..after rushing the wedding and avoiding the prenup. Come on. She’s looks to me to be a gold digging black widow who has never learned any personal responsibility, and has her sister under her thumb. When she starts admitting to having any character flaws, or her drug use or her aggression or anything, then I’ll believe her.
    Also for all the times they travelled and she talks about how he was the aggressor but yet it was his team that booked an extra room so he could escape. Like, none of this rings true to me.

Evil people do indeed exist and this is a perfect example of that. I'm so disappointed in JD's team for letting Dr Hughes off the hook so I really hope they nail AH's feet to the floor, metaphorically speaking. The importance of this case goes far beyond defamation - it will be important for men's rights but also for the rights of victims of DV.

    What Hoeg said really resonated with me- my gut tells me she's not being truthful (along with the evidence presented by Johnny's side), but if she's lying, I have to see her as a monster, and then I would have to come to terms with the fact that someone could be so cruel. It's very confusing. It's almost scary to admit what my intuition (and logic) is telling me.

      Dr Curry was much more credible. She didn’t put out any bias. She just stated the the results of the tests, not who she thought beat who. Dr Hughes infuriated me right from the get go, especially regarding how men are so much stronger than women so no matter what the woman does she can’t do any damage. That folks is a complete fallacy. Women can do a lot of damage, physically, mentally, and as in this case, using false allegations to destroy a man. I am speaking here as a female.

    Saw it. And what struck me the most is that she was not testifying about what happened to her in terms of DV; her whole testimony was designed to paint JD as this creepy rich old man taking advantage of a poor innocent girl and to embarrass him as much as possible. When you are being smacked around by a drunk and/or high abuser you focus on the HITS you are getting, not that you had to clean him up after he passed out. After your attacker passes out you feel a sense of relief that it's finally over. The fact that you or someone else had to "clean him up" does not matter to you and the only time it would be worth mentioning is in terms of temporary safety you feel that at that moment he can't hurt you. I felt no sympathy for her at all, the only feeling her "testimony" evoked in my was anger.

So many taped recording that do not line up with her accusations. Then to jump on the #MeToo movement with such self righteous stance - giving speeches, etc. It literally makes me sick.
    So I came into the trial with my mind made up. Her testimony (performance) on the 1st day and today was laughable, if it wasn't so cruel. It's pathetic, the way she tries to "act" - she's not good a it; can't even produce one single solitary TEAR. I feels like she researched REAL victims and is trying to "act" the way a true survivor might. She is not pulling it off at all. I cry very easily - and can empathize with other victims/survivors - and yet I felt nothing but anger and contempt for this woman as she mimed being traumatized.
