Amber then talks about how everyone knew about that rumor and she heard it from multiple people and that OF COURSE that's what flashed into her mind when Johnny almost killed her sister! She was piiiiiissed talking about Kate Moss. She can't even hide it.

Camille brings up that Amber claimed the trailer was trashed and she didn't expect the manager to come and testify that wasn't true. She says she's been in trial with this man before (incorrect) and knows how many people will come to support him. She says the same thing about TMZ as well.

"I know how many people will come out and say whatever for him! That's his power! That's why I wrote that op-ed! I was speaking to that phenomenon. How many people will come out and speak out for him and fall to his power. He's a powerful man, and people love currying favor for powerful men."

Camille asks if they would curry favor and commit perjury in the courtroom for a powerful man.

"I have seen people do this time and time again. That's why I wrote this op-ed!"

She brings up Ben King flying out from England to testify how he found Johnny's finger. And Amber is just flying off the handle and talking over Camille at this point just furious. Then Camille also points out the sound technician for Johnny came out to testify he doesn't feed him lines like Amber claimed and Amber angrily talks about Johnny's power more.

Then Camille brings up that she must have expected Isaac Barush to come out and speak. Amber suddenly sobers up and says she actually didn't think about that.

"But you didn't expect Mr. Barush to weep. TO WEEP for Mr. Depp for what you put him through and so many others."
"I relate to Isaac because we're the only two that CRIED on the stand!"

Camille actually walked away and said she has no further questions while Amber was talking. God damn, the disrespect. This was devastating. Probably more devastating than the first cross. It was just quick and lethal to her credibility just explaining all of her lies with these rebuttal witnesses and others. Absolutely fantastic to end the last thing you say to the jury for this is bringing up how Isaac Barush, who everyone loved, was weeping over what Amber did to hurt people. A call back to an early part of this trial that reminds everyone that they were saying this the whole time. This closed the whole damn thing for good as far as I'm concerned. How do you possibly recover from all of this?

And Amber ending it by saying she was one of two people to cry on the stand? After the jury heard her acting coach say Amber had trouble crying, and she was only able to produce tears once. Like this jury isn't stupid. She pointed out her tears when she was actually sobbing and tears weren't coming out constantly! That's the other thing this cross was left on! How do you do this!?

Rottenborn walks up for an impossible redirect and says if anyone misled Isaac, who would it be? She answers Johnny. What is this question even? And then he asks if she ever faked a bruise? No. Did she ever fake an injury? No. Is any evidence you put in this trial fake? No, absolutely not. And then she asked if it's strange for two spilled bottles of wine to be in multiple cases, and Amber starts malding about how there's SO MUCH EVIDENCE and most people don't have as much evidence as she does of the violence but there's SO MUCH EVIDENCE. She keeps going on but it sounds extremely desperate. Also, maybe don't talk about how much evidence there is when your evidence has been severely lacking for literally everything. But she keeps rambling about how the wine pictures don't even matter because there's so many more important pictures of her injuries too!

Then she's asked if Depp abused her physically, verbally, and emotionally and she said yes to each. Curiously removed from this is sexually, which would be explained by them not wanting to draw attention to that anymore. She got a little more brave during questioning when she brought up that Johnny drug her to a second courtroom before this and that the Waldman statements are a direct result of this (what?) and implying he's so powerful that all of these people are trying to ruin her and then she closes by saying that he's humiliating her in this trial by having all of this play out in real time in front of the world, live. Alright. That's it. This was the biggest disaster of all disasters in this case, truly. It was such a terrible mistake to bring her on.

According to an attorney who was there, the Judge looked pissed when Rottenborn asked if she faked evidence, and immediately after Amber was done, she called Rottenborn and Camille to the bench. He thinks she was reprimanding him because that's just really, really scummy, especially since there were so many issues with discovery and she probably feels like everyone else that Amber absolutely faked evidence.

Let's recap. She outright said she wrote the op-ed about Johnny because she didn't want people believing him and supporting him. That's admission of writing the op-ed, malice, and intent. If the jury somehow didn't prescribe all of that to Amber at this point, Amber made it super easy for them. Expect to hear that again in closing. And then her entire plea and impassioned speech about how horrible this has all been and how tortured she is now fell completely flat with the jury, with some of them outright exasperated by her. She claimed EVERY SINGLE PERSON who testified for Johnny was just lying and others doing it for clout. That everyone is a liar but her, literally, and you should only believe her. And she looked absolutely repugnant while she was on cross.

I don't see any way that Amber wins this at all, or how anyone on the jury can argue on her behalf during deliberation. It was just madness. Not even her experts were believable. There's nobody who spoke on her behalf you can actually trust. Amber does NOT win the counter-claim by any stretch. There's just nothing there to support it. At worst, there's a hung jury for Johnny's claim. But I just can't see Johnny losing with the overwhelming evidence here in his favor.

After this, both parties discussed jury instructions. Surprised they actually showed this. It was boring though, obviously. The most notable part from this that actually ensures that the counter-claim is dead, and if you recall my biggest concern about that counter-claim, the jury is being instructed to NOT make any inferences about Adam Waldman asserting attorney-client privilege to evade answering questions.

We're onto the last day. Thank god. It will be a good one though.
