Yeah, this trial has it ALL. I haven't found a legal proceeding as interesting as this. I think it's because this is quite the cast of characters, and the villain is fantastic.

Catching up...
-Bruce Witkin, Tracey Jacobs, and Joel Mandel were all completely ineffectual and I don't know what they offered to Amber's case. They did not offer any insight into Johnny's character that would lead a juror to think he was abusive. They just showed he's a flawed human being like he's admitted. Not all abuse is physical, but Johnny's emotional needs don't equate to abuse. Not once did he make Amber feel emotionally inferior to him. Amber was the only one playing those "games." The jury has to be seeing that. Their minds aren't changing. (One so-called "expert" - probably an abuser herself - on the "halftime show" of the stream was saying that his testimony must've helped Amber, and I lol'd.)
-Amber suing over Adam Waldman saying those comments in Rolling Stone is why he can't represent Johnny in this trial, yes? So... pretty clear whose side he's on. Elaine kept getting Chewed out and I could see Camille in the video being bored out of her mind (as she probably hasn't seen this before). WHY did they bring him on instead of dropping the counter-suit? Like questioning him about it made it clear they have no case. I also don't know why they didn't edit this down because Elaine continued asking questions that violated attorney/client privilege and she knew it. Maybe that was because Ben Chew and Waldman wanted Elaine to embarrass herself.
-Ben Chew has a very similar voice to a friend of mine.
-Waldman's deposition was an hour nearly exactly... and 45 minutes of that was Chew and Waldman stonewalling Elaine. Then he just went on the offensive.
-Does Amber think she's winning despite all this? She has no evidence, and the only witness of hers who seemed credible was the makeup artist who couldn't testify as to where those bruises came from. And yet, she thinks she's gonna get his money over a nonexistent case. There can be no other explanation for why she pressed forward with her counter-suit. She HAD to have been advised otherwise.
-The LAPD domestic violence coordinator was indeed worthless. This should've been cut for time. It offers nothing to either case, and was probably just shown since it had occurred. The jury was probably falling asleep by now.

...speaking of, it's time for me to fall asleep. I intend to finish Thursday's proceedings tomorrow and/or Sunday.
