  • So here we are, at the end of arguments with the case now in the hands of the jury.
    Thursday we saw the end of witness testimony when the teams wrapped up their rebuttals. Team Heard was running tight on time, but were able to avoid running out and being cut off during testimony. They closed out their case by having Amber Heard take the stand again, and the day wrapped early.
    Friday was closing arguments. Both sides were allotted equal time to pitch the jury on their theory of the case. Both sides received objections during their closings, and we discuss objecting during close in this recap.
    Once both sides finished their closing arguments, the case was sent to the jury. They deliberated for several hours before breaking for the long weekend. They'll return to the court to resume deliberations no later then 9AM EST this morning, Tuesday May 31st. We'll be live from 8:45AM EST for verdict watch, and filling the time looking at the UK trial.

      Days after watching the closing argument from Rottenborne, one comment he made stood out to me in my memory.
      It was something to the sorts of "Mr. JD testified that more forms of abuse exists than just physical abuse. All we have to prove is that Mr. Depp abused Ms. Heard once, to dismiss his claim. If you find Mr. Jepp guilty just once of abuse, then all abuse must be true".
      To me that felt entirely unbalanced. This whole trial we had little glimpses of truth between them when listening to the voice recordings and various other pieces submitted. He is insinuating that if you find 1 harsh word towards Ms. Heard, that would automatically equate to abuse and therefore Mr. JD is guilty.
      Idk, it just felt like a very unfair closing statement to me.

    Elaine lied her ass off & made me scream when she said Amber was “entitled to half of everything” in the divorce. In California, property division is not a 50/50 split - especially in a short term marriage like this one. A marriage that lasts less that 10 years will have a set duration of spousal support, which is typically one half the length of the marriage. They were married 2 years, entitling her to ONE year of spousal support from Johnny. NOT half of everything!!

      I think there could be repercussions for quite a few people, but i think everyone is so relieved it is over, they want to put it behind them...except writers. I feel sorry for Amber's legal team and the fiery hell they walked into. You can bet there will be books and movies about that! I think, though, that most of the world has SO MUCH other tragedy and worry going on that they will not go after anyone, but just try to find a way to survive and cope physically and emotionally with their own lives. I think a movie about life in America during and after the World Wars and that Great Depression would be good. It would show us how much worse it was and how people worked together to face life and rebuild. It would have to be a series, and would have to include how inhumane we can become when afraid. Part of our Nation had the same mentality that was in Germany. And it is still with us. The trial showed us ourselves, the good, bad, and ugly. And it showed the part corrupt money tries to play into every scenario. I pray, Lord, please help us.

    Whenever your argument to a jury boils down to the constitution, you're in trouble. Juries are finders of fact, not high brow legal opinion. There's a reason why you give a jury 23 pages of instructions that explicitly state the law and the court's interpretation of it. If the judge agreed with your first amendment argument, the jury would have been sent home the day Johnny's team rested.
    Sure, the jury CAN decide that they know the law better than the judge, but anything more than a passing mention of Amber's first amendment rights just screams desperation.

    Thank you Alyte for all your hard work, you and your lawtube team! My wife and I have been glued to your daily commentary while the trial is live, the back and forth of you and your panelists during breaks and of course your recaps help to condense a lot of info so folks can take it in into a much more easily understood summary, like cliff notes for each day of trial. I had one question(I also reached out to law and lumber with this question) but first I’d like to mention a quick bit of background on me. I have always loved the law, had even entertained the idea of becoming a lawyer once but I decided my love for teaching outweighs my love of the law so I am currently working on my BS in Secondary Edu w/ a focus on political science. So I’ve taken a lot of classes regarding the Constitution and its influence on most most our laws. This is why I was baffled that AH’s team used the 1st Amendment and its freedom of speech component in their closing argument as their theme of defense. Rottenborn basically told the jury that the WP op ed that AH wrote is protected speech under the 1st Amendment and that the jury cannot be both for the 1st Amendment and award a win for JD because if that. It always been my understanding that freedom of speech protects you from censorship from the government as well as being punished by the government for exercising your freedom of speech. It does not allow for anyone to say anything they want without repercussions, basically people can still be held accountable for what they say, a common example of this is the illegality of yelling fire in a crowded room. The 1st Amendment doesn’t protect libel, slander or defamation is also my understanding. So it felt like Rottenborn was misinterpreting the 1st Amendment and misinforming the jury, intentionally or not I cannot say. If his interpretation of the freedom of speech were true, how could have JD sued for defamation in the first place? How could AH countersued for defamation? And how did it make it to trial if AH’s WP op ed is considered protected speech? Thank you again for all your hard work and in advance if you manage to free up some time to both read my comment and answer my question or questions as it were 😁 truly appreciate all the dedicated lawyers of lawtube and their commitment to helping us understand the law and the trial process! Hope you and Mr Legalbytes had a great holiday weekend!

      If I'm ever get in a bind, I'll be sure to hire whoever was the top Mean Girl at their high school as my lawyer. I thought it was a mis-print when I saw a video titled, "'No one showed up to support Amber except her sister' states Camille Vasquez." Surely, a professional lawyer in a televised, high profile case wouldn't say something like that in closing. But...yeah...Queen of Snark [Ms. Vasquez] sure did.
      I also hope they rule in his favor, too, because if they don't he'll never leave Amber alone - his loss in the UK trial proved that. She's resilient enough to bounce back, but he's shown himself to be rather petty and spiteful. This article does a better job explaining his situation: www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/hes-radioactive-inside-johnny-depps-self-made-implosion-4101726/

I mean, in the recordings from when they were going through the divorce (I think the "tell the world, Johnny" recording), he begged her to not go after him so they could just put it behind them. He was willing to pay her and everything (despite the fact that, as we can now pretty clearly see, she was abusive to him), just to get past the pain and move on.

    One of the most baffling moments in Rottenborn's closing arguments was when they played like two seconds of audio where Depp yells "You're a f****ng c***!". What does that prove? I think we've all resorted to mean words in a heated argument at some point in our lives. All this showed was how afraid they were of letting the jury in on the context.

    Thank you very much for this recaps ❤. I was following this trial just now and I tried to watch the actual trial but some of this video depositions made it impossible to me to follow actual facts. More importantly I am not only not have any legal background but I'm also not from US so I was coming to some conclusions, that after I listened to you legal explanations, turns out to be false and was a result of my lack of knowledge. Also your commentary was not heavily biased what was really important to me since I wanted to look objectively on the case.
    So thank you very much ❤

    Yes I did watch the closing arguments on your stream, but only Johnnys attorneys. Watching Ambers team gives me anxiety. I pretty much feel bad for them, as they work to make something out of not much evidence. It is like watching a sinking ship and them grasping at straws. That is why I love your recaps. Everything said and done thank you for not sensationalizing your recaps. Using the words destroyed, wrecked and etc, etc, etc. I know you have had your own issues regarding Legal Tube and I'm glad you have continued on despite what happened. Great learning experience for all. Love all your panelists and love your presentation of this case. I've learned a lot. Cant wait for Hoegs reactions to pieces of whatever not entered into trial evidence. Thank you Alyta. You are a wonderful lawyer and human or at least that's the energy I get since I dont know you.

    Sorry but you are incorrect. Ben Chew did not object to the make-up argument in closing. HIs first objection was to the part when Elaine said Dr. Hughes used Nurse Erin's notes and another psychiatrists notes that documented clear abuse in order to come to the conclusions she had. The notes from the other psychiatrist were not in evidence and did not document abuse but Elaine was trying to slip them in sneakily. The judge did not allowed to Elaine to speak on testimony that wasn't in evidence regarding Dr. Hughes notes. Elaine had to walk it back that it was Elaine's opinion that there was evidence but there was not court admitted evidence from the other third party confirming abuse in the notes.

  • @stilllearning9590
    @stilllearning9590 Před rokem

    Really grateful for your recap. I went through the closing arguments and your assessment confirms my impression. I would only add that it seemed Elaine Bredahoft's was a rather frenzied almost incoherent rendering in an attempt to say "In spite of evidence and testimony, here's what is really going on" and after the objections she had to infer that what she was saying was how she interpreted things. I am not a lawyer, but in my untrained opinion, if this were a sporting event, it was what we call a blow-out...it wasn't even close. The jury may see it differently but there is the court of public opinion and how much difference does that make? Let me put it like this...O.J. Simpson's verdict was not guilty and he will never be tried again...but honestly, does anyone today believe he's innocent? (here's a clue, he even wrote a book about how he did it) I truly doubt money is even an issue with Johnny Depp, he just wanted to get his side of story out in one of the most expensive but perhaps effective ways. This trial is going to go down in history but the only monetary winners are probably going to be the lawyers...and that's okay, he can afford it...he sounded pretty good on stage with Jeff Beck...these people live lives the rest of us read about as we work to pay our bills.

    I totally get that attorneys have very different styles but it just seemed like Elaine had no style whatsoever. Her closing was so meandering and rushed that any points she might have made were lost in the muddle.
    Camille and Chew were so methodical and linear and had a cohesive theme they stuck to throughout. And the use of pauses really gave points a place to land.

Anyhow Ben Rottenborn was trying his best considering the blatant lies from his client already made a very bad situation, he may not be able to turn the situation around but it seems he used out all the tactics he could... I just wonder whether he and the who legal team would feel bad for defending AH.

    I thought JDs lawyers had a prepared and rehearsed their final argument/statement and were prepared - it seemed professional and polished. where as I felt like AHs lawyers were winging it a bit and only had rough notes on what they were going to say. But I sort of felt that way the whole trial. I'm sure AHs lawyers did do due diligence but Elaine in particular was often floundering when questioning a witness and was objected... and that followed through on closing arguments.
