It is very strange that Amber, who seemingly liked to document everything that Johnny Depp did wrong, never took photos or recordings of her own vicious beatings.
Oh yeah, truly incomprehensible. A guy's smacking you around the chops, smashing the wall next to your head, you're fearful and looking for an avenue to get away without provoking the inebriated psycho further. The first thing you're going to think of is grabbing your phone, managing to unlock your screen, finding the right app, then accurately hitting the 'record' button, at the same time trying to fend him off and very likely putting your arms up to defend your head. Why don't people think?
I'm actually surprised at the regularity with which this ridiculous protestation is being churned out. That's especially the case with the people commenting (broad social media, not necessarily here), that they are also victims of DV and who, you'd expect, would have learned otherwise through bitter experience.
I don't say I accept Heard's commentary uncritically. Depp's team have done a good job of casting doubt on her credibility as a witness and have raised the potentially serious issue that she could have lied on the stand in the Depp vs. The Sun case. If the appeals process isn't exhausted by this point, he'll likely go after her guns blazing once this case is concluded - regardless of outcome - and she could find herself in very hot water.
The accusations she made on the stand yesterday are hideous. It was appalling to witness - in the end I stopped streaming it. Presently there are holes in her story and I think if she can't provide some secure witness corroboration of what she is saying, she's in trouble. But we are only two witnesses in and her own testimony isn't concluded: his side have already had the opportunity of presenting his complete case. I'll withhold judgement until I've seen hers.
At first I'd have said it was very unlikely Depp would win this case. I'm now less sure.
