Why is that video from over a year ago? The recording date for Alejandro, I mean.

This was a deposition. I discussed before that a lot of the witnesses are from California, and a lot of them weren't going to be willing to show up or testify in court again. Alejandro, as you may have noticed, did NOT want to even do the deposition, let alone appear for the trial itself as a witness.

So they're using edited versions of the depositions that both parties agree upon. Part of the reason we have Fridays off for Motions is so they can hash out what will be shown at these video depositions.

Does the amount requested in a lawsuit matter? I've seen cases where the winner gets more than they asked for so it's not like it even acts as an upper bound.

You want to have a reasonable asking price. Johnny Depp has explained his end of things. Amber Heard... has not in her countersuit. I'd have to look at it but I'm sure it's absurd.

However, if you ask for entirely too much without good reasoning, it can work against you. In cases of settlement, which is 95%+ of cases, they'll be a good negotiating point to work down from too for Settlement. Ultimately, it's usually up to the Judge in most courts, but this time it's up to the Jury with the Judge having final say.
