DAY 17

Summary: I'm pretty sure this absolutely killed any and all of Amber's case and I do not think that she's going to win now. I just don't see any members of the jury not finding her guilty after this, especially given their reactions yesterday and what I've heard today. This was by far the worst day for Amber so far, and it was absolutely devastating for her case.

They start out with showing the giant knife to the jury and Camille is just like "So you gave this knife to the man who was routinely beating you, correct?" Amber tried to say that it was just around that year-ish that it started.

Then Camille launched into asking Amber about the phone that Johnny supposedly destroyed his finger on. She shows a picture and Amber said "It's just barely out of frame of the picture here and it's not depicted in any photos." And Camille just says "That's convenient." Isn't it though? And then Camille shows a phone on the counter next to it and asks why there's a second phone in this area.

Then Camille questions the order Amber told things by pointing out that Amber said he destroyed his finger, then still threw her around, then held her down while he was assaulting her with the bottle and she's like "Well actually he wasn't holding me down probably!" And "I just don't remember the order of things over this three day period! And then Amber said the injuries she received from this absolutely brutal assault in Australia "were not serious" and she didn't need medical attention from them. She also strangely tried to claim Dr. Kipper wasn't her doctor and they play a clip of her literally saying he was.

Camille also points out that Amber took only two pictures there, of the mirrors only, but that she didn't catch herself in the reflection. Amber went "Well Ben King isn't in the mirror of the picture he took either." And Camille just went "He's not claiming to be suffering from any injuries at the time." A killer line was Camille asking if Amber wrote the red writing on the one mirror and Amber denied it, and Camille just went "Because if you did that would mean your husband was bleeding out from his amputated finger while your were writing snarky messages on a mirror, right?"

They play an audio of Johnny saying that he was running into five different rooms at Australia to try escaping her and she kept chasing her and banging on the doors (which is an extension of a clip opposing counsel used) and how he was trying to escape things from escalating. Amber said that was absolutely not what happened in Australia and tried to spin her bullshit and Camille just goes "Objection, move to strike everything she said she knocked on one bathroom door." Elaine says "She can't do that, she answered the question!" The Judge says "Not quite, so I'll sustain the objection."

Gonna just go ahead and say that Elaine tried, so fucking hard, but she was so beaten down today. Barely any objections went her way.

Camille continues by saying that Amber blew off his finger and he had to run and hide after she did so because he refused to talk with her about it and Amber needed to. Amber denied it all and Camille just outright says "You weren't scared of him at all, were you?" Amber said he tried to kill her then, so of course she was scared!

Next they discuss the staircase thing where Johnny was in horrible pain and almost died from MURSA and said "So Johnny was able to assault you and your sister?" Amber calls Nurse Debbie a liar, because of course she does. And then Camille says Amber filed a complaint against Nurse Debbie's nursing license before the case, and Amber denies it, but then Camille says it was related to her not reporting rebuse in conjunction with her care of Johnny Depp and that it was reported a literal week prior to her deposition. Then she calls Travis McGivirn a liar too outright. Amber then changed it from him trying to push Whitney, Amber's sister, down the stairs to actually trying to punch her.

They show her a bunch of love notes where she admits to wrongdoings constantly and talking about how much she loves him and how kind he is after he alledgedly did all of these horrific things to her and supposedly almost killed her sister.

Amber also denies ever having cut herself, and says that her own nurse was a liar for saying she told her that.

Then they show the picture of her on the train where Johnny supposedly broke her nose where she's completely wasted and Johnny has bruises all over his face and she goes "No, he doesn't look injured in that picture. It's photoshopped." Jesus fucking Christ the insanity. Camille also points out the knife on the bed where Johnny supposedly broke a part of it. WHOOPS. And that she didn't take a picture of the pillows that were supposedly drenched in blood.

Also, she called that random woman who worked on the island Tara Roberts a liar too, of course. Camille points out that Amber never said Johnny sexually assaulted her on that Christmas weekend in the Bahamas until a fifth witness statement for the UK trial. This was when Amber supposedly spilled wine on her three times and there's audio of him calmly telling her (not screaming at her like Amber said) about her freaking out his son by her screaming at Johnny in front of him while Amber just mocks him over it and complains that Johnny uses other people to bolster his arguments about Amber's behavior. And Camille points out she complains to Johnny about wine being spilled on her, but never about Johnny supposedly assaulting her.

Camille then talks about how Amber would continue to drink and do drugs while Johnny was trying to be sober and then pointed out that they literally have doing drugs on their wedding itinerary and that Amber tried to claim that it was just a proposed draft! "So it was your idea to do drugs with your husband, the addict and monster, for your wedding?" Amber tried to bullshit her way out of it but maaaan impossible to believe.

For the birthday incident, Camille points out that Amber didn't accuse Johnny or sexually assaulting her that night until the interrogatories filed in February of this year. But you see she mentioned it on a different page, but she didn't remember until the trial that it happened on her birthday! They play an audio of Johnny talking about how Amber just ran up to him while he was on the bed and was just beating the shit out of him. She claims that is NOT how it happened and she wasn't talking to him at all about it!

And concerning Coachella when she got sick, she claims that Starling Jenkins, former marine, was also lying. And pictures and video of her at Coachella also show no injuries, but they do show hella side boob.

They play another audio of Amber in the clip before she said she hopes Johnny's son's stepdad can teach him how to be a man because Johnny can't. And it's just the cruelest fucking thing. Just absolutely insane ramblings and cruelty from Amber. She's cackling like a supervillain and doing baby voices and belittling him and calling him a loser and a sellout and laughing while he's trying to talk to her in a civil manner. Just DERANGED audio from her. Needless to say, she does not seem afraid of him in this clip at all, and obviously if you were afraid someone could kill you, you would not be trying to egg him on. And during this whole deranged, insane audio Johnny is just calm during the whole thing.
