Rottenborn tried to put it into people's minds that Johnny Depp wasn't paying his taxes, when in reality it was because his taxes were such a fucking mess because of his last accountants that he fixed them and on re-direct he said Johnny Depp's tax affairs are in order and paid for in full. That was one of two questions this man asked of White, after Rottenborn stood up there asking pedantic nitpick questions for entirely too long.

Next up we have a witness via Zoom, Malcolm Connolly from Essex who is one of Johnny's former security and was there the night Johnny had his finger blown off. He testified that Amber and Johnny started out as a great couple but then Amber changed and got more demanding and grumpy. He also testified that Amber would throw things at Johnny when she was upset. He testified no marks ever on Amber, but Johnny would have marks and bruises on him not every other week but still often enough. To accent this, they show a picture of Johnny looking beat the fuck up with bruises and marks on his face in Malaysia posing with some people on a train and Amber there looking drunk off her ass.

Fast forward to Australia and the night that Johnny's finger got blown off. "Do you recall anything notable that happened in Australia?" "Yeah, Johnny lost a finger." He arrived and it was after everything, and he was it was pure chaos. He tried to get Johnny to leave, and only when they were leaving did Amber appear and start screaming at him to fuck off and that he's a fucking coward for leaving like he always does (after she blew off his finger and put out a cigarette in his face and he is leaving to get medical attention). He said he could see the bone and that his finger looked like a snuffed out cigar. He also said that Amber had no bruises or marks on her that entire night.

This guy they had doing cross for Malcolm was just really bad. Remember the guy that objected to himself? That's him. "He gave you a gift of $85,000, correct?" "Oh, he gave me a hell of a lot more than that. I'd be loyal to you if I was working for you." He asked especially bad questions and just didn't come across as confident. It was a BAD day for him. And then he asked if the man saw Johnny Depp's penis and everyone laughed and he just could not recover. "And Johnny Depp had his penis out, correct?" "Objection....... relevance?" It was sustained. Legitimately hilarious.

He made an error questioning if he had scanned Amber for any danger, and Malcolm went off talking about how he always scans everyone because he works for Johnny but if she's hurt he's not going to ignore her and that he got a very good look at if she was hurt or not.

On re-direct they just asked him if he could get a good look at Amber. That's all. They aren't fucking around with these nonsense cross-examinations anymore. They're just hitting the important stuff.

Starling Jenkins was next, who was a professional chauffeur and body guard for Johnny and Amber. He testified that he arrived the night after Amber's birthday when Johnny left and went to see his sick mother, he talked to Amber who said she threw all of his personal property off of the balcony, including his phone, wallet, credit cards, and passport. This man had to go hunting the streets to find Johnny's cell phone using a find a phone app. A homeless man took it and he bartered with him $420, chick tacos, chips, apples, and Fiji water for the phone back.

He was the one who took Amber and her friends to Coachella, bless this man. He says on the way there, he overheard Amber and her friends talking about "the defecation" she left in Johnny's bed. She said it was a practical joke gone wrong. He said that Amber got really sick because she was drinking and eating "magic mushrooms" on an empty stomach, and he got her back to her hotel because she didn't want anyone to see her sick.

Rottenborn was on cross and just had more of this pedantic questioning. He nitpicked him saying that the phone was actually found below the balcony, when he said "It was on the streets below". They made such a big deal out of this and I cannot understand since on re-direct they read the next line from the UK transcript and it says he had to walk six blocks for it. Just... why? You know they're just going to do this on re-direct immediately after and you'll look like the piece of shit.

"Do you think it's fair for a woman to go out and have fun with her friends after being abused by her husband?" "What abuse?"

On re-direct the baby lawyer asked about what I mentioned above and also affirmed that it was Amber who was sick, not Whitney. Because apparently Amber claims that Whitney was the only one sick that Coachella weekend. I can't remember why that's important, but apparently it is.

And that's it for this week. We're supposedly wrapping with Depp's witnesses the first day next week. Supposedly. They're onto the rapid fire witnesses now.
