you mean amber, right?

i watched this part of the trial via a twitch streamer who was watching it. it's sad because literally the entire chat was completely bashing elaine into the ground when this was going on. they were all like "how can she be so terrible at her job," "lol no way she's getting work after this," etc. etc. not saying elaine is good but it seems like she couldn't have done much better with what she had to work with.

(that guy who was laughing so hard he had to leave was freaking hilarious, btw)

Oop, sorry. That was a typo. ELAINE was the one who mocked Johnny's voice.

And yeah, Elaine is not great. I've made that very clear. But it sort of clicked during this entire exchange just how much of a struggle she's had trying to work with Amber right now. I'm not exaggerating when I say that if Elaine asked a question that wasn't objected to for leading or anything else, Amber would answer and immediately launch into something that gets it stricken for hearsay. They were just so against each other this whole time starting with the direct.

Amber is actually probably one of the worst clients someone could do work for. She doesn't listen, she doesn't trust the attorney, and she wants to do what she wants, and I'm sure she's making outrageous demands (like telling them to ask about Johnny's penis). And I can just tell she's going AWOL from what they discussed as the best way to go about things to make the best case. You can see the tension in that they just refuse to even talk anymore while Johnny's side is all high fives and hugs.
