Anyway, he said he went there the next day to see the trailer. You know, the one that was supposedly completely destroyed, and he said one of the light fixtures was broken and that was it. And he says that happens all the times. But literally nothing but the light fixture was broken. He said it was no big deal and he just tucked the wires away and he paid all of $62 for the repairs that Amber alleged were hundreds or thousands of dollars worth of damages. And he said he never saw Johnny get physical with anyone.

And Elaine actually comes up here and goes "So you're a pretty big fan of Johnny Depp, aren't you!?" He said he actually wasn't and the gallery gave a pretty loud laugh at that. FFS Elaine. And then she said that he wanted to come here and testify. He said he didn't really care and just did so because he was asked by Depp's team and wanted to tell the truth. But Elaine said that he knew it would be broadcasted and that he SEIZED THE MOMENT by Tweeting "THE LEAD PERSON FOR MR. DEPP'S TWITTERS THE UMBRELLA GUY".

"Uh, The Umbrella Guy is the lead what...? I'm sorry."

"The lead Twitters for Johnny Depp."

"I have no idea. I don't care or follow The Umbrella Guy."

"But you DO follow an account called 'Johnny Depp Fan', do you not?"

"Absolutely not."

And then Elaine brings the Tweet he made saying that the Trailer Palace situation didn't happen like that at all and he was there and that Amber was the one acting jealous and crazy. WHY WOULD YOU BRING THIS INTO EVIDENCE FOR THE JURY TO SEE!? And then they published it for the jury to see! Why!?

"Four days after you Tweeted to That Umbrella Man, you--"

"I thought it was The Umbrella Guy."

"...Umbrella Guy."

I get that they are trying to impeach him and claim he's biased or something but this is actual insanity.

"Are you aware that Mr. Adam Waldman said he was in talks with ThatUmbrellaGuy-- Do you know who Adam Waldman is?"

"I have no idea."

"Well he testified earlier that he talks to The Umbrella Guy."

"That he what? That he talks to The Umbrella Guy?"

"Yes, were you aware of that?"

"I honestly--This sounds like schizophrenia."

I died. Absolutely died. Elaine, you sound like a fucking lunatic being so far in the weeds malding about an internet grifter with a funny name!

"Four days after that, you Tweeted something pretty nasty about Elon Musk, didn't you?"

"I did."

"Thank you, and you don't like Elon Musk, do you? ... You texted something that had swear words in it about Elon Musk, would you agree?"

"Yes."

This is absolute madness. What does this have to do with anything. Why. You're trying to bury the man for saying naughty words on Twitter Dot Com. Elaine finally escapes from this line of questioning and just drills him on what he saw and tries to put doubt into what he saw but he was pretty unflappable. So she essentially summarized everything he saw that was damning to Amber's testimony. Great job Elaine.

Elaine objected to everything on re-direct and only got half of them and one time she stood up and went "Ob--Nevermind." This woman is a disaster. It was a short re-direct where he just re-iterated he just wanted to tell the truth and didn't really care about the trial.

Next up is another live witness. You remember bizarre lizard cretin from yesterday that seemed out of his mind? Dr. Shaw came on and was basically the exact opposite. A psychiatrist from England who spent his time talking about how grossly unethical Lurch was and explaining the Goldwater Rule is great detail and how the other guy violated it. During breaks of him talking, he had a real sinister smile somehow though, like he was taking great delight in tearing apart Dr. Spiegel. It's such a night and day comparison between those two and this guy seems so much more well-read.

His whole purpose was to eviscerate Dr. Spiegel. He did so incredibly well. Oh, and they had the baby associate for Depp's team do this one. Good for her. Probably her first expert witness direct. She kinda got bullied on objections though. Cross was nothing, just a little slippery trick to act like Depp evaded being properly evaluated and baby associate got up there and just clarified that Depp wasn't ordered to be evaluated by the Court like Amber was. She got back to her bench and all of Depp's team, including Depp himself, congratulated her. It was actually kinda heart warming.

Next up is Jennifer Howell in a video depo who was um... er... okay. This is all just weird so bear with me. You recall me saying she was a huge factor and basically had evidence in which she wrote a letter saying that Whitney is a liar and outlining that Amber abused Whitney and blew off Johnny's finger and all of that.

Well... we didn't really get any of that, and I'm not sure why. It was broken up into two testimonies. Both incredibly short. The first of which was Elaine questioning how sure Jennifer Howell was of the dates that Whitney stayed with her. And then the next had her explaining that she was unbiased and an anonymous donation was made to her charity before she was set to testify on behalf of Amber, implying she tried to bribe her. Also, it was from Elon Musk too. lol This mother fucker spent so much money on Amber who didn't even like him. What a dope.

Then they talk about the letter Jennifer sent to Whitney but... they don't show it...? I'm honestly extremely confused. But she did say that in it she wanted Whitney to tell the truth because she was being dishonest to protect her sister because she loved Whitney dearly. Then it ends abruptly with Jennifer chewing out Richard (Rottenborn) about how she was attacked by him and his team for 3 hours and was promised to speak with Depp's team. So uh... what the hell. They didn't seem like they admitted the letter or UK depo into evidence...? It's on the evidence list though.

I'm confounded. I researched this and the greater LawTube folks are confused about it too. The only theory so far is that they might be saving it for closing arguments, since it would waste a lot of their time if they started going over it live. Or it seems like something fucky was going on with the depo too so maybe they didn't have a way to present it authentically with time? It's very strange and I'm hoping it becomes apparent why eventually.

Next up is a representative for Children's Hospital who testified all they got was a check from Elon Musk on behalf of Amber and that she had no other communications with Amber and not a single pledge even to donate money to them because she blew them off entirely after claiming she donated all the money to them. That's all.

Today's depos are over! Apparently the timekeeper for today had to attend a mandatory CLE, which is confusing to me since those are basically required classes to maintain your license. I don't know why any would necessarily be mandatory unless he was close to missing the number he needed. But in any case, the Judge has a rough number of hours left as a result.

Johnny: About 10h51m left
Amber: About 2h54m left

I feel like Amber's team burned a lot more than an hour and fifteen minutes though. But Depp's team is on pace to spend another 5 hours each day. That's it for today. It was mostly to destroy all of Amber's witnesses and they were wildly successful at it. Dr. Curry is up next to obliterate the other expert tomorrow, and word is Kate Moss and Johnny Depp will also be going up on the stand again.
