Rottenborn is a corker. As Andrew Windsor was dodging service of legal papers it transpired that a member of his team was named 'Bloxsome', and there's a firm in the West Midlands called Wright Hassell & Co. I'm sure they make these up.
@Aspiringmatriarch enumerates the solid evidence that Depp has lied about significant issues, and evidence of the escalating pattern of abuse of Heard at his hands is also compelling. Clearly witnesses for him have backtracked and claims previously made have been retracted.
They are both liars. This problematizes the testimony from both. It is very possible for someone to base their claims on truth and embellish/exaggerate them to elicit sympathy. Evidence suggests both did this. Depp's team did a better job of illustrating that than Heard's team, although in fairness to them, it's harder to join the dots given some of the most convincing testimony, such as that from Deuters, was later struck. I think this leaves the jury with a problem. There is, however, sufficient witness testimony to provide evidence of injuries to Heard. As for the power dynamics, I'm not sure anyone could claim in all seriousness that she had the upper hand with this.
He's a liar, and on balance of probabilities, he is more likely than not to have been an abuser. She's a liar and a manipulator - a form of psychological abuse - and has physically struck him. But toxic SM is happy completely discounting the former demonstrable facts about Depp's mendacity while excoriating Heard for hers. What's also shocking is the twisting and disingenuous claims about that evidence made by both sides at the summing-up stage. It's a thoroughly rotten system and I'm amazed this was allowed.
