It's funny to read Biscuit's take on things because everywhere else I've generally read it, Dr. Hughes was a very good witness for Heard. Maybe not enough to get her off the hook, but she spent far more time with Heard than Dr. Curry, and also remarked that none of the other therapists seeing Heard would diagnose her with borderline personality disorder. Not to mention Curry is not board certified, like Dr. Hughes.

The therapists aren't SUPPOSED to diagnose their patients with a disorder like that. A psychologist is supposed to be the one who diagnose a disorder, and Curry said that she was able to diagnose Heard with disorders and Hughes says that she was unable to diagnose her with a single disorder. Dr. Curry mentioned that about Dr. Hughes mentioning that in her report during her testimony. She gets a chance on rebuttal to respond to Dr. Hughes later.

I think there are certain people that Dr. Hughes' testimony could appeal to, but I just don't think she would play well to a jury who just had to sit and listen to the entirety of Johnny's case, and I think I was able to explain my issues with her testimony. Obviously my opinion isn't the definitive one. I encourage anyone to look at different sources and compare if they'd like.
