Hello Byters! Sorry things are late today, but we're live now. Thanks for all the love and support!
The audacity for you to apologize!! Lol we appreciate you. I am so amazed that you are even able to load this up
Don‘t be! I wonder how you are able to fit that workload in a day with 24h. Living in Germany the livestreams are a perfect afternoon/evening entertainment and the recaps are a great breakfast companion to cure the trial-hangover and keeps me going during work:)
All are bought- these free loaders are shameless and will do anything for money.
Sad, they bite the hand that has fed them for years. I hope Johnny Depp will learn you can't buy love nor loyalty, so keep your money and see who will hang around with you.
She may be starting to have alopecia where for females, it starts at the crown. See Usually self-diagnosable
With male pattern baldness, hair loss typically occurs on the top and front of the head. With female pattern baldness, thinning occurs on the top and crown of the head.
I was actually glad to see it was late because it made me think you got a bit of rest before smashing out the recap after a full day of streaming.
The fact that Johnny allowed AH friends and family to live with them is the opposite of what abusers tend to do. Abusers typically try to isolate their abused spouse so as to exert control effectively, thereby creating space for themselves to do as they please.
That is a very good point! Usually abusers don't want extra people around to find out about their behaviors!!!
Very true. My abusive ex husband cut me off from my family. I'm happy my mom never gave up on me and when I managed to reach out to her, she came and saved me.
I'm not on Amber's side, but that is just fucking stupid.
Remind, that you re making a assumption bc of your personal opinion.
This is nothing that happens every time in those cases...
Its true in the 3 years I was with my ex, I hardly saw my friends. The abuser have many ways, overt and subtle, to try to keep you from seeing people you are close to. The abuser expect you to be their personal servant and that requires your full attention to them. The fact that AH has freedom to come and go as she please, have her inner circle invade JD’s living space, him running away and AH chasing him. It’s clear who has the power in the relationship
@@zeincexxx1285 I would recommend doing some research on dv. This is absolutely a pattern abusers engage in. When I lived with my parents my mom cut me off from everyone. At 36, I am just now reconnecting myself with family that I couldn’t while having her in my life. My dad and I don’t even interact anymore because he knows she would flip if she did. His family misses him. He has no friends anymore. It’s a thing, trust me.
I never heard about an abuser that will let the victim have the friends living with them. Abusers isolate their victims like Amber did!
This fact has to be brought up in closing. It is critical characteristic that abusers isolate from family and friends. He moved them in to live next door to them. Weird.
It was AH that would pull him away from his kids and friends. She was attempting to isolate him
I said this in the comment above you, and I'll repeat it here.
The testimony is NOT just that he allowed them to move in, but that he INITIALLY allowed them to move in and charmed everyone, but then slowly one by one started pushing everyone away from Amber and ended up isolating her.
Abuser's absolutely can start off this way, by giving such a great impression at first, it makes it harder for the family or friends to believe the abused later.
Now, whether this is entirely true or not? I... Don't know - they seem more believable than the first couple witnesses, however, tbh, Amber was absolutely dreadful her own testimony, and honestly by this point she's almost made anybody who supports her narrative come off as unbelievable merely by extension of doing so to me, which I'm trying hard not to do because in all honesty she could just be a much worse witness on stand than Johnny is capable of being (less charismatic does not necessarily equate to guilty) but I just... Can't really get on her side.
However, misrepresenting what's been testified is low. I don't like it when the mainstream media does it to Johnny, I don't like you guys doing the same to Amber. Stop twisting the narrative, let it play out.
Rocky was another AH cheated with.
@kyle Witness after witness after witness has testified Depp was jealous and controlling.
Here is what we know for sure:
1) Depp was a drug and alcohol addict.
2) Depp had severe anger and mental health issues (he called his other side the "monster)
3)Depp verbally abused Heard
4) Depp was jealous and controlling
5) Depp would destroy property during fights.
Depp fits the profile of a domestic abuser.
@kyle I am not defending AH. I don't like her and I think she verbally abused him to.But the notion that Depp is an angel who never laid a hand on her is ridiculous.
Besides Amber's friends, his psychiatrist and his ex all testified that he was jealous and controlling.
His addictions are very relevant. Domestic abusers are generally addicted to drugs and/or alcohol.
The evidence is pretty clear that there was mutual abuse in this relationship.
The abuse was soooooo bad they lived rent free in JD's houses, took trips and received gifts. What a monster. Once again ZERO PROOF.
JD refused to accept rent from one of them. its extremely atypical for abusers to invite the abused parties friends and family closer, isolation is the typical method. IMO feels more like an abused person trying to please and placate someone
You're right but for the wrong reason. A rich person spending money isn't proof of not being an abuser. But supporting her social circle (the opposite of isolating her) is a sign of him being a decent guy.
I was laughing my butt off when Camille called out Ambers sister for being scared of Johnny but yet she was doing lines of coke with him. Riiiiiiiiiight.
@@Monolith_1 but her friends could go and just call bullshit lol.
Be like nah none of them happened.
Drinking bottles of wine a day and enjoying a jar of cocaine with tampon applicators!
But yeah, Johnny was sooooo scawwwy and isolated Amber.
Isolated from her friends who are living ON his property.
Opinion: When the acting coach was testifying about having heard Johnny and Amber arguing and Amber trying to get out of the room but Johnny not letting (she explained that she heard the door opening and then being shut again) I couldn’t help but think that in reality it was probably the other way around and Johnny was trying to leave the room (based on all recordings) but she misinterpreted the situations due to the stories that Amber had told her.
What I got out of their testimony is Amber moved in and surrounded Johnny with a bunch of coke-heads who constantly drank and did drugs around an addict they claim they were so scared of when he was drunk and/or high. That's incredibly contradictory to how they've tried to portray this whole situation.
1st: What abuser moves a bunch of their victims friends in and surrounds themselves with people who would presumably defend their victim? This just lends credence that the abuser/abusee roles were reversed and it was Amber surrounding and isolating her victim.
2nd: If you're so scared of the drug-fueled "Monster," why in the ever-loving hell would you not have a dry home!? Why would you have your addict friends over doing drugs with or near him all the time? Keeping your victim on drugs is another tactic abusers pull to keep their victim trapped.
All it did for me was show how very little awareness she has on what an abuser truly is, cause she's just been telling on herself the entire time, showing how many common tactics abusers use to control their victims that she engaged in.
Yep, in my abusive relationship I was heavily drinking at the time, and I totally related to Johnny saying that given the circumstances, it was the only way to numb my feelings and continue on.
But my abuser totally used that against me, saying I must not have remembered and claimed the cops were investigating and going to take my children away. Which made no sense. I was not heavily drinking around them, this would always be when they were away for the weekend with their dad but it was a scare tactic and gaslighting.
Like Johnny, was I perfect during this period? Absolutely not. I'm sure I used terrible language about him and can say that on one occasion I did hit first but that doesn't take away that he broke into my house, harassed me, followed me home and eventually cold clocked me in the nose that it bled after hiding my keys, throwing me around the living room and preventing me from leaving. Which is when I finally gave a statement to the police.
She essentially isolated him by outnumbering him. They're all her yes men and based on the latest depositions, it looks like he started becoming difficult as he was on more drugs than ever, he even fired his longtime agent and lost friends, all this after getting together with AH.
So if your husband has a problem with alcohol /drugs, would you surround him with drinkers, coke heads etc ....No
@@65cj55 he’s never admitted to ever hitting her in any way shape or form. she, however, has admitted to hitting on MULTIPLE occasions. the only time they could’ve ever been mutually “abusive” towards each other would be in a verbal sense since that’s what’s been shown.
The most interesting comment in all of the testimony: Amber cannot cry when acting no matter what. Exactly what we saw when Amber tried to "cry" during the testimony.
How can she be an actress if she cant cry. She should retired already
@@creatingart2024 she could cry for 5 minutes . but for that long..no I.donot.think.it is as easy.
@@mhomair but she didnt cry at all.
@@mhomair when did she cry actual tears? I must have missed it.
Acting coach had dark circles under her eyes worse than Amber's "bruises."
IMO the damning testimonies for AH are those of the policemen. We can argue that JD's friends and AH's friends are biased toward one or the other, but police officers and their cameras don't lie (in this case). Also, the actual voice and video recordings that AH and JD have of their relationship all seem to corroborate JD's version rather than AH's. Empirically speaking, I believe JD to be right in this situation.
I'm yet to actually see anything that proves her side. I heard the tape and saw the footage, too. Amber really seems in the wrong here. Honestly she doubled down on her lie and is now dying on the hill she build herself
I'm trying to steelman here, but Heard legal team very specifically asked josh drew if he showed damage to the FIRST set of police officers who did not have bodycam footage at all. And, again, to steelman, the police officers could definitely lie or just minimize certain things to cover their own asses. For example, the cops did not take the domestic violence incident report just to have record of what happened in case of future incidents or crimes, perhaps because their investigation did not lead them to conclude there was a crime, but maybe they could look sloppy for not even taking that report so to the best of their recollection they don't mention any damage or injury seen because who the hell can fault them for their memory anyway. I do also wonder about Josh saying he overhead them saying "we have enough to arrest him" or something like it. Would he really lie for Amber still, in late 2019? Maybe actually, who the hell knows.
And there are all those pictures of her a day or two after one of these horrific incidences showing her without any injuries. And why didn't they take pictures of these injuries when they took pictures of so many other things?
Even if the cops were lying, there's bodycam footage. How can that be explained away? I take the depos and testimonies with a grain of salt but when I see pictures and hear the audio, that's what I view as more valuable to the case.
Exactly
The problem with JD savagely attacking anyone on the stairs is that he had had surgery on his severed finger! Having had hand surgery myself, you will absolutely NOT have the capacity to handle the excruciating pain this would result in.
I don't think that's a good argument as most people haven't had severe hand injuries and can't confirm that. The biggest problem with that testimony is that Rocky, who was incredibly biased in favour of Amber, didn't even mention any violence of JD towards AH in that incident while being right there.
@@tinminator8905 true
Great point xx
I didn't have a surgery at my hands, but I had minor surgery in one of my toes and minutes after it I couldn't even put my foot in the floor without my whole leg hurting like I never felt before. And my surgery was just to take of my nail and
cauterize.
Yea sorry I've had bad hand injuries twice and I could still punch someone.
I think the fact that he allowed Amber to travel without him, she had money to pay for her own devices to communicate on, they had multiple people friendly to Amber who could access the penthouse at any time of the day or night, etc really takes away that whole abuser mentality. Instead of isolating Amber the way a controlling partner would, Johnny moved her support network into an adjoining penthouse and gave them keys. It’s just so weird. And Whitney taking a dozen photos of tipped over clothing racks but not her sisters face, I mean…..it’s just so suspicious. Also, the fact Amber reconciled with everyone a few months before their depositions is also suspect to me. I think Amber could have easily faked injuries in many cases, or done them to herself. Those photos do not match. I’ve broken my nose 3 times playing sports, one of them a head butt going to head the head the ball in soccer. My mom also broke her nose getting a head butt in soccer, accidental of course and I assure you neither of us walked away with mild bags under our eyes. My mom even needed stitches. The testimony just seems to be contrary to the photographic evidence. Just because they all got their stories straight, doesn’t convince me. They admitted they talked about this stuff together ‘hundreds, if not thousands of times’. Their stories should line up. And I think it’s odd that Johnny would let them see him breaking shit, and calling names, and doing drugs, and not being at his best, and they could come in anytime at all, but yet not one time did any of them see him hit Amber.
well said
Really good points, I hope the jury is as astute as you are because if not, Johnny might not win this case. 😒
Exactly.
I found it also weird that Rocky would send Josh away when they found the kitchen in chaos. Wouldn't you keep your or any man with you unless you know what you would find in the rest of the apartment? Very sus. And then she called him back to take pictures of Ambers "injured" face. I wonder why. Why look for Amber alone? To paint her the bruises with make up perhaps?
@@lnt2265 They planned this takedown together .
Now we know where that 7 mill went (to her witnesses) lol
My main problem was Whitney. It sounded do rehearsed and almost identical to what Amber has said overall to the point where I felt like.... where you there the entire time? How would you know all of this? ... it just did not make sense to me. And the whole "they were so in love / I supported them" is CRAZY to me. If I witness my sister being abused by her partner/husband - there is no support left. Just pack our stuff and go go go!
Who would say "actually landed one" when describing the only time you witnessed violence from JD towards your sister? That is so out of character that at least that part must have been directly told to her by Amber.
Yeah, if it was my sister I’d be like “Leave this relationship now or we’re gonna need a swamp to hide something.“
@@tinminator8905 I agree!
@@magnusquercu9905 Exactly. It makes no damn sense!
I agree with most people about the isolating. Abusers don't want contact by the abused with people who would help. My husband and I had run ins with ex- brothers-in-law a few times. My husband almost went to jail and I probably wasn't far behind. One sister- in- law had enough one night and knocked him out with a cast iron skillet. She made sure she hadn't killed him and got the hell out and divorced him finally. The other one keeps putting herself in messes, but I am honestly not sure who the abuser is in her situation.
Reasons why I watch these recaps:
25% tea
25% legal comentary
50% pets uwu
Saaame haha. Her pup and kitty are so cute!
I totally agree on the pet part :-) although I'm mostly a dog person and she's just in the background where as the kitty took a very prominent part in this video. Fun to watch them anyway ;-)
Lol
not just 25% tea, but also tea…. like Alot of tea
Haha, I wanted to comment on the pets too. I love them. They are such a bonus on here besides Alyte being awesome. Do we know the pets names?
The kitty showing us its behind in this video was hilarious. 🤣
Also, apparently, a woman that takes pictures of every thing in her general vicinity failed to take a single picture of her injuries despite it happening almost endlessly.
I get that lawyers have to go through the minutiae of legal analysis, but the jury isn't likely going to get into that level of detail. I've sat on two juries and when it comes to 3rd party witnesses we the jurists wanted to know one thing and one thing only -- did the "witness" actually *witness* the thing being alleged? If the answer is "no", we're done with that witness and don't need to know anything further.
And to the extent that a 3rd party witness did witness the thing being alleged, if their testimony conflicts with the litigant's testimony that the witness was brought on to corroborate, that's a corroboration fail and both testimonies are disregarded as beyond suspect to just plain untrue. So I and the fellow jurists I sat with would look at Whitney's testimony of the so-called stair incident, note how drastically it conflicts with Amber's testimony of the same event and conclude that both conflicting testimonies would have to be disregarded as untrue.
That's how regular non-lawyers think.
Here how I think.
The tapes are all one sided on Johny side lol.
Amber got no proof... No nothin.
Verdict Johny.
This is exactly how I see it as a nonlawyer who has watched way too much Bull 😆
Curiosity, how does the jury discuss? After every day they have a meeting? Or before the day or at the end of the trial?
@@creatingart2024 only at the end. They may nod at each other, have a comment over coffee but no actions of deliberations before closings.
@@creatingart2024 Where I am in CA the jury only deliberates after the trial proper is over and jury instructions are given by the judge.
As a MUA I have never heard another artist refer to a bruise kit as anything other than a type of palette designed to make bruise and mild injury FX. The fact that this makeup artist is using "bruise kit" and what appears to be "colour correcting" interchangeably is very suspicious, in the sense that if you're a professional you should know the proper names for your tools.
@@65cj55 I dont understand what you're trying to say, of course makeup can cover bruises, but thats not what a bruise kit is used for, its to CREATE bruising effects for film and theatre. The Fact that this commonly understood (in the industry) terminology is being used INCORRECTLY by a PROFESSIONAL of the industry, could lead to speculation as to whether she was covering up bruises or creating them. Terminology is important, and using it correctly is even more important.
@@65cj55 it certainly can to a certain extend, but too much foundation would look unnatural, so you'd have to correct it very well with the palette for it to go unnoticed, and it wouldn't stop the swelling. Yet we never really saw any swelling in any of the pictures. Even with her "broken nose" she hardly had bruising, let alone swelling. She didn't even have puffy or red eyes.
Also one thing I noticed from the one uncontested natural bruise (on her arm), she said she had that huge dark bruise 2 weeks later, and that was just from being grabbed (with I think another testimony claiming that she walked into a door at the pool). That made me personally think she is prone to bruising, yet she only had one other big bruise that stayed for weeks, and that bruise coincidentally was the same one she went to court with after "TMZ was alerted".
Like, if she claimed Depp slapped her to shut her up, or punched her on rare occasions I'd be very much willing to give her the benefit of the doubt about the pictures. But him repeatedly smashing her face in for a long time with those rings? Him headbutting her hard enough to break her nose? And you have a slight discoloration on your temple, slightly darker rings under your eyes, no noticeable swellings, no puffy/swollen eyes, and only a slight and thin cut/mark under your eye? That really is all that was ever documented? That is a big stretch.
@@65cj55 Makeup can cover discoloration BUT it *cannot* remove textures like wounds and swelling.
@@65cj55 have you ever tried to cover a bruise with make-up? It's not easy.... I bruise easily and I'm still not good at covering bruises. It just looks like a bruise with concealer over it 😂
@@65cj55 your average bruise on a limb can, but on the face? Not so much. In the face every detail that is off is very noticeable, while on a limb it would be far less noticeable if it wasn't perfect. Again, you can cover it if you use enough layers, but too many layers will look very off.
I'm not even convinced he has hit her once, he has testified to grabbing her to move her out of the way, he has said once he accidentally pushed her, and on one recording he said that while grabbing her he might accidentally have headbutted her (as to the extend he hit his head on hers because he didn't expect her head to be there (which alligns a lot better with the slight discoloration on and around her nose than a broken nose from a malicious headbutt)). None of those are anywhere near her claims of abuse. That is all we know, and that is all that the evidence shows. We literally have a handfull of pictures on a handfull of incidents, where none of the pictures align with the absolute beating Amber alledges she had gotten then and so many other times. Then you have the lack of any swelling, and the fact that two of the pictures are obviously the same picture, but edited to look worse (to which everyone involved in taking them has stated under oath that none of the pictures were edited in any way). All other evidence is a patch of hair missing from her scalp (but the scalp not showing any sign of injury of it being ripped out like alledged), a bedframe with a chip missing that is far far more likely to be from a knife (of which there was one in the picture), recordings that very much could be explained as Amber trying to gaslight Johnny while he wants to deescelate, or him venting by destroying stuff when not even angry at her while she antagonises him, and broken furniture and spilled wine that we don't know who exactly did it or whether it was staged or not.
We also know the bodycam footage of the cops doesn't align with the damages recorded by Amber and her friends on the same evening.
So even saying they both beat one another is a stretch to me now, since there is some obvious foul play from Amber tampering with evidence, and everything else doesn't prove much of anything.
Simple logic.
Amber denied that she wrote the op-ed. She also denied that the intention of that article is to direct towards JD. In other words, she is afraid of accepting the fact that the op-ed is referring to JD, that JD was the abuser and she was the victim.
On the other hand, she is trying hard to prove that by giving a lot of accounts during her testimony that JD abused her.
My logic says that, if the events of abuse really took place. You should own it and tell the world that you wrote the op-ed and what you really meant in the article is really about JD.
Because, if he really abused you, and what you wrote will not be construed as defamation or lies.
The only problem is, now you know that you are lying, and that's why you don't wanna own it, and avoid taking your responsibility because, you know that you lied in the op-ed.
So, its either that JD really abused you and you wrote the truth in the op-ed.
Or.
JD didn't abuse you, and you lied in the op-ed and hence you don't wanna own it.
That's it. We know who's telling the truth here.
The end.
Interesting point of view. Makes a lot of sense.
That's what I don't get about her lawyers' strategy here. Are they even working together? If the article is about another abuser, why bother proving this abuse? And at the same time, why bother proving his career was going downhill before the article but not before his marriage to her? Having a lot of arguments to support your side is pointless if they cancel each other out.
Yes, either way, AH is guilty. She wants the cake & eat it.
Not really. No. The Op Ed could be entirely true and Amber would still want to distance herself from JD could be bc she wants to say the article is about DV in general and cannot be slander/libel. It reduces the idea that she published it "as true libel with malice and intent." If they can't determine she lied and was intending to kill his career, she doesn't get fined.
I think the very first statement of her testimony on direct examination was "My ex-husband is suing me for an op-ed I wrote". So she has admitted she wrote it. She seems to be disputing that she _published_ it, except in her Twitter post she wrote "Here is the op-ed I published...".
An abuser would never, ever allow friends and family of their target into the home, let alone LIVE with them, pay for them and give them a key to their private home. That's the complete and total opposite of what abusers do.
This is absolutely ridiculous.
It is so obvious that there are WAY TOO MANY versions of the stairs incident. The reason for this is because witnesses SAW Amber hit Johnny and Amber has to explain it away. Why didn’t Rocky see Johnny punch Amber repeatedly?
And Amber testified that rocky came between JD and AH when he was punching her to save her. But rocky literally saw nothing, ever......
Do not sweat it. We all know this is superb quality and consistency of content creation. You are knocking it out of the park twice a day on the marathon. Lawtube stomping this game.
Because of my schedule I'm never able to listen to most of the trial every day so I REALLY appreciate these recaps!!
Thanks so much!
I agree with you,
Sometimes people rip out their hair when they're stressed. It's not that hard to believe Amber would do this.
What I found interesting is there didn't seem to be ANY hair folical tips🤔 More like scissor cut ?
@@JB-hb7fd as a person who is in that hair pulling stress phase, the hair folicles was my first thought when i saw that photo. And while one could argue the folicles are dark and blend with the black carpet, there will be bits of white flesh surrounding most of them
I have, medical term for it "Trichotillomania".
Some pull out/pluck their eyelashes, eyebrows, usually the crown of their hairline, Also sometimes Pick at their skin relentlessly.
Embarrassing & Addictive all at the SAME time! I've RUINED my eyelashes!💔
@@dawnmarie1980 and if i remember right it is fairly common to pass to children? My dad picks his eyebrow, my soster her hair, and me my beard(when it shows itself)
Do not forget all the other details we already heard about the staircase incident:
1) the nurse and a security guy was there as eyewitnesses, their story is wildly different, and collaborate with Johnny's description
2) Johnny was wearing a cast on his freshly damaged finger. He physically could not grab AH with one hand and hit with the other and not actually damage his freshly operated finger
3) the main issue with Whitney testimony was the placing. You just cant recreate the positions and happenings easily based on her description.
4) Whit's description does not match to Amber's recollection
Whitney also places nurse Debbie Lloyd on the stairs, in the thick of it and getting hit by a can of red bull thrown by JD. I have serious doubts that an experienced addiction nurse would put herself in that position, her own account and Travis' has her downstairs and even by the door, not seeing anything. By Whitney's account Travis is the last one to get involved, so security is standing downstairs while all this is happening on the stairs.
The nurse also testified that JD was post op for his finger and in a lot of pain. He had a pin inserted and she was unsure exactly what kind of covering he had on his hand but she believed it was a padded mitten type dressing/soft cast. Which seems to match as an entry says the dressing was changed which would be impossible with a traditional hard cast.
Remember, there's another discrepancy with Whitney's stairs recollection;
She said one of Johnny's security guards had to physically separate Johnny and Amber while he was in the act of holding her by her hair and punching her in the face repeatedly with his big clunky rings.
Why hasn't anyone else, including Amber, mentioned this? 🤔
I have no idea, she seems like she wanted to get over it sooner as possible, and was little afraid of amber, her face says so. I bet Rocky had cut chunk of hair on amber demand to make it look bad. It’s not easy to pull hairs even if your use brutal force.
So the hand without injuries with big clunky rings are the one that he should used to punch AH while he pulled her hear with the bandaged hand? How????
Also nobody witnessed that JD hit Whitney except herself? AH also tell that JD would possibly push Whitney down the stairs, but not hitting?!
Also nurse debbie was supposed to be there,what happened to her ?witney said she took Amber to her app,and stayed there, who tended to her injuries ?no one mentions her injuries ?
@@shubc50 as for the ripped out hair, i instantly thought of some kind of hair styling device out of my own experience, hard to get the hair out once stucked and they must have pulled very hard to stage evidence

I think the way the judicial system works promotes injustice. Instead of existing 2 (group of) attorneys working and competing against each other, there should be ONE MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM (attorneys, psychologists, physicians, nurses, body language experts, writing experts and other experts whenever necessary.....) WORKING TOGETHER FOR THE TRUTH. No focus on the ego, competition, money, damaging the other to look bad so one can win, etc., but the truth.
So many things we (outside the process/court) know, but the jurors - the ones who decide - don't have access to all the information - how can they make a just decision?!.... That is surreal to me.
May things unfold in the best way for all.
Love from Portugal
Alyte! For those of us who can’t sit for hours and watch the entire trial these videos are perfect. Keep it up!
All of them are terrified by JD, but nobody escapes from his properties. Maybe AH and her entourage have told something true, but lots of what they've said is invented.
Greetings from Italy and thank you for these recaps, they are interesting and useful.
Wow, this is an amazing summary! Besides the great coverage of content, your clarity and pace had my attention nonstop. Many thanks!
I don’t have time during the day to keep up with the livestream so I love these recaps! They’re to the point and offer an analytical angle about how things could be read one way or another, definitely giving something to think about. You’re a 💎
Found this to be a great low down on the day, precise and to the point. Tbh honest I needed this as I found some of the witnesses hard to listen too and also I had other things to do!
TBH I got so bored with all the witnesses day 18, and day 19 I tried watching join your Live but I could not bother to listen to them at all. Which is why I love your recap so much, it has more insight and saves me time.
one of my favorites channel to summarize JD case and really recommend the live stream 👏🏼. keep it going
Appreciate these recaps! I don’t watch the entire trial (too long) so the concise insightful recaps are just perfect for me.
Jennifer Howell completely contradicts Whitney's account of the events lol, saying Whitney was afraid AMBER was going to kill Depp during the stair incident. Whitney crashed at Howell's place that night since she could no longer sleep at the penthouse due to friction between her and her sister. I think Depp's team has Howell's testimony and will be using that during redirect. It's going to be VERY interesting seeing the jury react to what Whitney's former friend/boss has to say. Her testimony is damning enough that Amber has had her lackies breaking into her home (with electric power tools to break the locks!) to intimidate her.
I'm going to be very disappointed if the jury takes the words of three former best friends of Amber/freeloaders (who were all given notice to leave the premise, and therefore, had incentive to be pissed off at Depp) over the word of the building's staff, security guards, the nurse, the doctor, Heard's personal assistant, and most importantly, the cops.
14:30 It seems pretty clear at this point that the bruising existed - multiple witnesses and photographs attest to that. The problem is the level of light bruising doesn't seem consistent with the attacks described, which calls into serious question whether they were caused by Johnny at all. The one injury Johnny admits to being a part of was the 'headbutt' which he says was caused by her flailing about while he was trying to restrain her - the nose/eye injuries seem more consistent with that sort of cause, and perhaps occurred in the same way. It also matches the audio of Johnny saying "I headbutted you in the forehead, that doesn't break a nose" - she's exaggerating either deliberately, or in her own mind, that the injury is a broken nose. It seems like a deliberate headbutt to the face absolutely would break a nose, or at least cause much more severe bruising.
The value of these for the more slow days is so valuable to me. Thank you! Sooooo much.
As a most general comment, I wanted to salute your very calm, very kind and always enthusiastic voice, even after more than 10h of live streaming("on court days"). It's the little detail that makes your channel very nice to follow, in addition to the overall good atmosphere between everyone, objectivity and "on point" comments!
I have to admit I'm not sure I'll stick around after this trial, though. I am French, actually am a jurist specialized in international Law, but still French and working in France: I know the big lines of the US legal system, am very interested in the little details you all provide... but clearly, that's not my main field. Still, at the very least, anytime a legal thingie from the US pops up in the news again, I'll be sure to come back around. And probably once in while in between, just to see what's going on in the US Legal World.
Thanks again for your very hard work, it's a pleasure to follow your channel!
There's no way I could sit through this entire trial, even if I had the time. You guys are all Rock Stars. Thank you for the recaps.
Thankyou!!!! I was waiting for your recap, Beatiful your Kitty!!! So lovly
Can't wait for day recap 19... thank you
You have the best channel. Thank you for your time!
Thanks so much for these recaps! I found all the witnesses so full yesterday that I couldn’t sit listening to them 😂
You also can’t cover black eyes with just a “peach colored foundation”. The bruise kit is sus.
Amber was happy as hell when she got that lady to say that to debunk the Melani makeup scandal.
You also can't cover up swelling.. which would happen if he hit her even lightly with all those rings on. Nothing lines up with her "case." I feel Amber never thought Johnny would fight back publicly and now she can't keep up with all her lies. 🙃
Thank you for these breakdowns!!
Hey Alyta! Thanks so much for your well made, well narrated, and well explained videos. I'm enjoying them so much! You rock.
Love your pets 😊 Dog stretches down the sofa, cat jumps on the table... 😃 and love listening to your recap obviously.
As an attorney with a home office and a cat that ignores me 23 1/2 hours a day, I feel your pain in trying to do something on the computer and kitty decides she’s the star of the show.
Excellent analysis thank you.
This is an amazing summary, thanks you so much!
Could you do a video where you talk about the different lawyers that were presentin the courtroom, like why are there multiple lawyers and what are their roles ?
Was it a bad day for Johnny? Yeah. But I don’t believe it was that hard of a hit. We already know Johnny was not some perfect angel. And while concerning, amber took it further and further, lied and kept lying, she took some truth and then buried it. She made it from “both were toxic” to “amber is an angel and just so innocent! Johnny was so evil and cruel! She’s a spokesperson!”
That’s when I lost faith.
I dont even know of bad is the right word, sure it wasnt a good day, but if this is meant to be Amber's slam dunk depositions then it's hardly that wonderful.
What I see is Amber's best friends, who all refused to testify in lesson, all of which claim they were all scared of what he would do but not to the extent they ever reported it to anyone.
If I was ever scared a friend of mine was the victim of domestic violence, as in seriously concerned, id 100£ make a report.
Well from the point of view of the jury’s it seem like today didn’t do anything for them. So from the lawyer is was definitely the best day for amber but from the jury’s seems to literally do nothing.
I think it was a great day for Johnny. Not one person fully corroborated AHs story fully, not one. Additionally, had AHs hair really been ripped of her scalp they would have alerted the police who were there with body cams, who would have possibly sent AH to the emergency room. If anybody is going to believe these "witnesses" over the police and their body cams, they are literally crazy.
They were all liars
@@mkeogh76 exactly! She messed up her own credibility so much that any corroboration would still leave the jury scratching their heads. The truth is not as apparent on her side as it is on JD's.
Thank you for this. It saves me watching hours and hours of testimonials.
You are hands down the best at recapping these trial days :)
If I was on the Jury (I'm a 58 yr father of 5 with a daughter her exact age). REAL DATA: I would be looking at what the cops said and why there was no calling the police regularly or hospital visits to support real abuse, what the day after party/show/video/behavior pictures look like (my own eyes), the audio tapes of both parties (my own ears), the length of the supposed abuse and relationship behavior over time, her overall temperament, his overall temperament, and finally most importantly - motive, meaning did their explosive relationship warrant her promoting the victim role and what was gained from it. I would not take into account either parties close personal employees, relatives or friends, disgruntled workers, etc for facts. I would not consider any photographs that were produced by either party showing injuries unless it was authenticated by an expert as to it's date and tampering, however I would take serious note of JD losing part of his finger as that was fully documented. Conclusion: I believe AH did not have grounds on exit of the relationship to advertise an abusive relationship based on her behavior or his. She appeared to do it out of anger and financial gain.
hey, out of curiosity, would you take into account ambers video depo where she accidently almost slips at alerting tmz. During cross they didn't play the full clip, but when you watch it yourself you can visibly see her panicking internally about her slip up
Someone mentioned how Tina Turner never reported her abuser to the police but they were able to dig out medical reports.
Amber has described injuries worse than Rihanna's and as severe as Christy Mack yet we have a handful of pictures that show... nothing.
I recall when Christy had her hair ripped out, she had to shave her head to even out her scalp as her hair grows back.
Christy was hysterical, sobbing, hyperventilating as her abuser snickered and scoffed at her.
Yes, not all DV victims are the same but now we learn that AH isn't able to cry on demand.
@@jemimalowo6729 I wouldn't say she 'almost' slipped about TMZ. She said outright that they had been alerted, before they even told Depp. That alone shows that she had malicious intent, let alone the fact that the divorce papers were served days after his mother died.
I was approving of Josh’s deposition until he said about the commotion coming from the Depp bedroom . He runs away and leaves his wife to deal with a violent situation . That is just not believable. Then there was the difference between his description and the body cam . The deposition was done in November 2019 , before the police cam was out . He perjured himself as did the others because at that time they did not know of the video . They are cold , wicked people .
In all fairness I do believe in the face of danger this particular “man” would indeed run away and leave his wife there. He seemed like a total pansy trying to act like a tough guy. Totally agree with everything else you said though.
Right! He said things like "I pounded on the door to do something regrettable," "I was there to protect the girls" - yet he left Raquel to deal with the drama, which all speaks to how little they felt in danger of Johnny
Your recaps are soooo good Alyte!!! 👌🏻 even if I'm watching the trial through your channel, I always like to watch these too! Everytime I read those biased press articles, it just reminds myself how the system works 😡🤬 it's so triggering to know how they can manipulate the public! That's why I love hoeg press reviews, it helps me to calm down 🤣🤣
thanks!!! love this recaps,
I do t think I would want to admit to being Amber’s acting coach!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't think the Jury will remember all of the things discussed inside the court room. They'll stick to one moment and will based their decision from there.
I think the reason all these people aren't friends with Amber any more might just be because she is divorced from Johnny. It's her fault they had to move out of the penthouse! I think although they were "friends" they were also flatmates, and possibly just didn't have that depth of friendships.
btw so many thanks for these recaps! I don't have the time to follow the trial, wouldn't know what's going on otherwhise
Really helpful thank you.
The way every Amber "witness" claims they have no bias and considered JD a "friend", rly pisses me off.
Its a very manipulative statement, since they all screwed him over, betrayed him and took advantage of him and his family. IO used JDs daughter (16) for his LGBTQ project and claimed she was part of that group when she rly isnt.
Would you be able to elaborate more on the lgbt project? I had no idea and it sounds awful that they would use his children in such a way
@@wendynavarrete7216
IO had a sort of project for the LGBTQ community, and he used his access and trust of JDs kids to convince her (16) to show up in a photo shoot and article claiming she was part of the lgbtq. When Johny found out he cut IO out of his life for using his kids like that, especially since his daughter isnt bi or lesbian.
@@dnaseb9214 That Mr. IO is a woman, in old video footage. When she said Johnny told her "I love you" it made more sense.
@@litebleue.6613
Are you sure ? I saw video of him amd old pictures. Even if a woman, IO is still a piece of sht.
I'm just here for the cat. Hahaha just kidding. Thanks for summarizing the trial each day and also the rest of the ask and answered videos. The whole trial live/full videos are looooonnnggg and drags on and on. Looking forward to consume your other content once this trial is done!
Thankyou for your detailed analysis. I couldn't watch today after 5 mins of Whitney. So I appreciate your thoughts. I really hope Johnny wins and gets justice 🙏
Great recap! Thank Legalbytes!
Amber has turned out to basically just be a grifter, who brought a bunch of other grifters into their household. They all loved Johnny when he was being generous and letting them live on his property and drink thousands of dollars of wine, but as soon as the money and the relationship ran out, all of a sudden none of them had any interest, until Amber came back and rekindled their relationships for the lawsuits (see: her sister supporting her to stay with her “abuser“ for years, and all the witnesses who said it was just too exhausting to remain with her post-Johnny)
The one gal, hiding in the closet… No wonder she was afraid of Johnny, he didn’t even know she was there! I’d be freaking out if the guy I was freeloading off of found out about me and came barging in to get me out also. These people are all a bunch of trash, and hopefully any jurors with basic life experience will recognize that whole fiasco for exactly what it was.
I think one of the biggest problem with the staircase incident is how Whitney and Amber described it, Johnny had a cast, the way they described it is very very unlikely that Johnny was able to hit her like that.
Thank you for the way that you are covering these legal proceedings and also I love watching your pets in the background. Your cat has beautiful eyes.
Your pup gives me life just living their best life in their chair ❤️
the fact that you don't edit out the cat interruptions makes me so happy!
Each witness contradicted something big in AH’s testimony. I don’t think it was a bad day for him other than he had to sit there and listen to it. Plus I’m thinking the jury will take into account that most of these people were using him. Common sense would say that if she was as battered as she said, her friends and family would have urged her to leave him, intervened or stop coming around because they didn’t want to hear about it anymore if she was dead set on staying with him. I don’t think anyone is denying that the tiny bruise under her eye and the peeling skin on her lip were fake. Just that they didn’t come from what she stated.
That's ok
Thank you for for making sense
Good stuff. Thank you so much!
I still don't believe that Johnny ever hit that wicked turd.... Johnny with all those provocations from turd based on those recordings always kept his cool and chose to get away from her.... turd and company are conniving and doing everything to put down Johnny....
LOve the discription "wicket turd" perfect!!!
They both hit each other. Its not a white and black situation, no one is an angel here. Dont kid yrself.
@@Fifthcaptain did I tell that he is an angel??? And did u see Johnny hit turd???any proof so far that he hit her????
@@65cj55 what made u think silly that he retaliated against turd???any proof so far ???
@@65cj55 she had injuries but don't u think that might be self-inflicted??? Up until now we haven't seen any proofs that he is beating her but we have countless proofs of her abuse towards Depp... Judgement should be based on empirical evidence or facts and not on your opinions.
I thought yesterday was really strong for Amber, until afterwards when I started to reflect about it.
1. Joshua Drew seemed really together and convincing, until he completely deviated from the police body cam footage.
2. Whitney seemed pretty damning to me, as she is the only one that witnessed some of the alleged abuse. But then when they cross examined her, essentially pointing out that Whitney encouraged her sister to stay in an abusive relationship with an alcoholic, it didn't make sense. If this story was true, anyone who truly loved AH would be encouraging her to leave immediately. Whitney tried to defend herself, but it wasn't good enough to convince me.
3. The pictures they keep showing of AH with a battered face is not compelling to me. I look worse than that on an average day. Crying, lack of sleep, could cause the same effect, and I do believe this marriage was a toxic one and there was a lot of crying and lack of sleep. Everyone who is whitnessing for AH claims the photos accurately portray what they saw. And the question is, will the jury buy that these photos are of a truly battered wife? We will see.
I agree. Bad-turd wife indeed.
The jury is not some extraterrestrial force. They are most likely normal humans with normal human eyes. I am yet to meet somebody who listens to the descriptions of Amber's face by her friends and family while looking at the photos and doesn't just have both hands on their heads trying not to laugh.
1. Drew is not credible To be part of a DV crime scene and see the horrific abuse alleged, but say nothing to the police when they arrived (as depicted in the bodycam) defies reality. A concerned individual would speak with the police and walk them through their account in detail, not stand there and say barely a word. The narrative about cleaning up before the police arrive is odd. Not only would multiple punches to the head and pulling of the hair -so hard that clumps of hair were torn from the scalp - require the full attention of the friends and possibly medical attention, but the police would have noticed this trauma in a red hot second. They would not have left the scene.
2. Whitney comes off as trying to help her sister tell her account of the story, so I agree she did not tell a great story.
3. The pictures shown by Amber don't match the story, are not time-stamped, and conflict with other images of Amber without injury during this timeline. We will see!
@@grantkerr8298 Also Johnny being jealous and domineering does not ring true when younhear the many recordings. Its plain as day to hear in ALL the recordings Amber is clearly the aggressor. The way she belittles Johnny, the way she laughs in his face, the way she won't leave him alone to do his own thing. The way she refuses to leave without seeing Johnny.
All recorded for us to hear. If anything Amber's witnesses go against everything the evidence has already shown us.
Its 100% clear via actual evidence Amber is the aggressor. Amber is domineering. Amber has been proven on many many occasions to have lied.
So why believe her on this one thing?
As Amber is clearly domineering, it's absolutely clear her sister is afraid if her. And will say what ever Amber wants her to say.
The witness testimonies are pointless if it goes against the actual evidence we have been shown whether its video, recording or written in a diary.
The Jury would have made notes to all of this.
@@selnor1983 Johnny told his psychiatrist he was jealous of Heard...
Thanks for all your hard work!
Another BRAVO day! Thanx!
Amber probably offered (sorry, pledged) money to her “friends” if they promised to lie for her.
I’m pledging money for a new Mercedes today
Just to let everybody know Whitney us still in trouble for lying under oath in a trial from the last 1 or two times Amber asked her to testify. She seems like the worst person you could have brought in for me, most people would lie for family anyway and Whitney might face legal action because she already got caught lying under oath. Honestly, I can't believe somebody would ask their sister to even testify in something like this (after you already got them in trouble like twice), personally I would rather take a fall than let my sister walk into the fire from bad press, especially if she's already been caught lying before which makes her a weak witness that can't even help much anyway. Basically, it seems like amber asked her sister to risk jail time, risk being attacked by the media, and risk her sisters kids future to gain a small advantage in an already seemingly unwinnable case. I just can't understand that.
Amber only cares about herself she doesn't care if her sister's life could be ruined in the process
Wow I didn’t know that!!!
But when Whitney is so terrified by her sister, which some other sources claim, she might do everything her sister wants her to do out of fear?
Just a guess…
Unfortunately, the jury is instructed not to think like that. Unless, they can find serious inconsistencies or some other evidence that suggest the stairs incident was not violent they will likely have to take it at face value :(. The case is really stacked up against Johnny that way where no matter how many inconsistencies/lies there are throughout the defense, Amber only needs one story to stick in order to win the trial. But apparently, JD's team is bringing in Whitney's friend who has a completely different recollection of what Whitney told her about the stairs incident so hopefully that'll help his case.
Thanks. I've been waiting for this.
Bless you for the recap!
I wonder why there isn't more being said about the title of the op Ed and how there is one measley claim with zero evidence presented of "sexual abuse". That's such a grave claim to make. She said she was bleeding from her vagina after and she didn't go get checked out. As a woman (and DV survivor), that's just do hard to believe. Even if I didn't go get checked out for bruises on my face, I definitely would for blood after a ,"rape".
Cat trying to say 🐈: Human/slave, stop speaking about crazy lady and the drunk ! Pet me instead, or even better, speak about ME!
Very well explained … thank you 🙏🏻
Great recap to tide me over till I can catch up on watching, thanks 👍🏻
Amber: “Johnny controlled me and didn’t let me dress sexy or wear anything revealing. Also he tried to cut me off from all my friends and family!”
Johnny: literally lets a witches coven live for free in his luxury penthouses and is photographed with Amber wearing plunge cut dresses.
i was waiting for this while watching the live 😂 here in 24 seconds of posting lol
1 min in for me lol
I'm loving all these appearances that Holmes is making in these recap videos! Makes me enjoy them even more despite having already watched the trial livestreams before I see the recap
Great job!!! thanks a lot!!!
