Just wanna nitpick your wording choice.

There is no evidence really that can be shown to say that he was the only one abused. And it's basically impossible to prove this beyond hearsay and circumstantial evidence. It's important that both are considered innocent if they weren't proven to be guilty. And, yes, neither Heard or Depp are guilty of a crime (right now). But, this case isn't really centered around guilt, since it is civil. The onus would be on Depp to be able to prove he never abused Heard, which he can't, if he can even proven Heard directly even was naming him (which maybe he can).

One thing I noticed in the Rittenhouse case and this one, not to attack you but just muse, is that I think you decide what is the correct side and kind of tailor what you say sometimes to that result.

Your wording you use sometimes is the issue. I think many took you that way in the Rittenhouse case with your wording you used there also.

What you're asking for, Corrik, is an impossibility. What exactly can he do to prove he never, ever, ever hit her? It's pretty obvious all he can do is use the mountains of facts and eye witness testimony to prove that Amber is absolutely dishonest and that the situations she said she was hit by him, he never did so. It's up to the jury to decide if it's more likely Amber lied entirely and he never hit her, or if she was telling the truth and that maybe Johnny hit her once. I've never said he needs to definitively prove he never did so, because that's just impossible. A lot of civil cases aren't open and shut like that.

The jury will deliberate on whether or not they made a good enough of a job proving it's likely he never did so. It's unlikely that everyone will collectively will consider it to the degree you're speaking, and there will be debate on whether or not they did a good enough job proving their case.

And I think it's pretty clear I'm biased in this case. I'm not presenting otherwise, because I have watched this entire thing happen and have a strong idea of what's coming ahead. I think I've done a pretty decent job articulating how this works though and why I feel like Depp is currently proving his case exceptionally well.
