Then they play a phone call after Amber got the restraining order and all the articles came out where Johnny is talking to Amber and she's saying her team forced her to pretend like she was abused, and that she can't go back on it now because it would ruin her credibility, and then kept trying to pass the buck but she was getting incoherent about it all about calling the cops, saying that her friend told her Johnny would call the cops on her or something? She's just out of her mind in this clip. Eventually he rightfully said "Come on Amber, I lost a fucking finger and you threw a bottle of mineral spirits at my nose." (He explained she also threw a bottle at his face and busted open the bridge of his nose.) And then Amber says the infamous, "Tell the world Johnny! Tell the world that I, Johnny Depp, a man, I'm a victim too of domestic violence."

The last question they asked was "What did you say in response to that?" And Depp says, "I told her yes, I am." This was a master class of a conclusion, frankly. I don't think it could have ended better. Amber's face during this entire sequence was the most sour expression.

And we are finally done with Johnny Depp's testimony! Next up was Ben King, who was the "house manager" but he's basically the butler. He was obscenely British and a crazy good witness. He remembered god damn everything. He specifically testified the number of escape exits in the house in Australia where Amber claimed she was "held hostage for 3 days", to prove there were so many exits for her to leave. This will be important for later.

He mentioned seeing Johnny and Amber having arguments before this. He said he never saw anything physical though, like most people. He also said that he would have to replace two wine bottles every time Amber was there, and he knew Depp didn't drink that wine.

He was asked about the day Johnny's finger got blown off, where he was asked to come in late. He said Amber was hysterical there and Jerry Judge (the security guard of Johnny's that passed away) consoled her. Dr. Kippur told King to try finding the finger tip. Kippur, btw, has both King and Debbie confirming he "remembered" fuck all about that night somehow. King was the one who found the finger tip. He said it was inside a "kitchen napkin" (which the cross got really weird about him saying when we knew it was a paper towel). It was on the floor at the bar.

This man then described, in excruciating detail, the damage in the house in every room, because he spent 12 hours cleaning all of it. From my understanding a vast majority of it was from Amber that night. He was the one who took pictures of it all, which he said was standard for when there was damage.

He said after cleaning it, they all went to the airport to leave the island. He was sitting next to Amber which... holy shit I can't imagine having to sit next to her after that. King eventually asked what happened and Amber said in response, "Ben, have you ever been so angry with someone that you just lost it with them?" He said no, he's usually pretty calm. lol So she asked him a second time and looks completely shocked that he hadn't. And then he said "I mean, not unless you count when I was a kid and wasn't allowed out or something." This sweetheart. He dropped it there though. She gave him some crazy eyes in the courtroom during this.

He also said he noticed some marks on her arm. I'm not sure the significance of this yet, but I think they want to say Johnny scratched her, or she scratched herself? I dunno.

They asked this dude entirely too many questions on cross. Like hello, what do you possibly have to ask this man? Why, they tried to impeach him of course, and utterly failed in an embarrassing fashion. The questions they asked him were ridiculous and he never got caught in anything. He asked for his understanding of how Johnny lost his finger at one point and then immediately after asking went "OBJECTION HEARSAY" and the Judge said "You asked the question." Just... embarrassing lawyering there.

They tried to get him to say that Amber didn't also write on the walls and mirrors with lipstick and he was just like "Uh, it was more waxy, so yes it wasn't paint." He kept asking him and it was so dumb. And they also tried to imply he withheld some images, which was some legal fuckery (spoilers: Amber's team didn't ask for any because they don't want to know what is on the rest of the pictures because it hurts their clients). It wouldn't be so bad but he wasted like five minutes on this. He says he never saw a penis drawn on anything though. I don't know why this is significant. He also said he saw no writing in blood either though. All of these lines of questioning were so worthless and I don't understand them. Just ask this guy three questions and say see ya.

The re-direct wasn't too meaningful. Just hitting on a few important details and sending him on his way. That's it for this day! I'm all caught up now on summaries!
