Johnny, a male, was a victim of domestic violence. I, a female, am thrilled he came forward because it opens the door for other men who may be suffering in silence.
Hopefully men and women who feel they might not be believed, who feel ashamed of their own role in the abusive relationship, and who feel they don't have a chance, can look at Depp's win and see themselves. Hopefully, true victims can recognize that the victim can overcome, and can be restored. Perhaps this trial became Depp's role of a lifetime as well.
The abuser is not the one hiding and leaving.... I don't know of any victims I worked with that would follow their abuser around trying to continue the argument
the victim fear abs the fear is something u can’t stop regardless of how strong minded the person is. She worked him for years that’s was very obvious the same way she is trying to do with the public
'Domestic violence has no gender' I am very glad Camille said that. And she is 1000% correct. Each and every statement from Heard, her team, and her supporters is centered around the idea that women are always the victim regardless of evidence. Which is just false. This verdict did not set back the progress women have made, but it affirmed to domestic violence survivors - men and women - that the law was on their side. Almost every audio evidence from amber heard showed that she was the abuser, and she was brazen about it too. Johnny deserved this win, and so does every DV survivor out there, regardless of gender or status.
It is absolutely true that DV has no gender and I love your cup. The evidence that AH showed where JD was slamming cabinets was right after his financial advisors stole from him, I can’t imagine a person not losing it in that case. I am also woman and a DV survivor and I find a fake DV accuser sickening.
@@rinkairiozuki7245 For me that video is one of the strongest pieces of evidence that AH's allegations were all hogwash. He was drunk and angry and grieving and the "wife beater" takes it out on the kitchen cabinets? I mean, really? The only time he goes in her direction is when he discovers the phone is taping him. And he goes for the phone, not her. JD never claimed to be perfect and didn't deny his faults while working to get past them. THAT'S why he's beloved, not the other way around.
@@rinkairiozuki7245 it could be that but have huge amounts of money stolen from you is more likely to make you angry than grief but both things did happen very close to each other. It was like AH was a curse on his life.

I completely agree that this trial helped humanize Johnny Depp. While Amber was trying to convince the world to remember she was human, Johnny allowed us to see that for ourselves. We were able to empathize because we could connect with him, it was difficult to say the least to empathize with her.
Yes. Ben is right about the jury not being influenced by social media. Actually the testimonies in court are the ones that influenced social media. Social media reacted to what they saw and heard in court.
@@gregallan2842 ikr, like social media only reposts and talks about what happened, if you are THERE why would you all of a sudden be influenced. Damn, no wonder she isn't a very good lawyer if she can't understand social media is often only a reaction of reality .
Ms. Bredehoft never answered any question put to her. She is a master of deflection and only talked about HER talking points, HER message. It's good hearing from a Brit that she is a sore looser. Thanks, LEGAL QUEEN! From a Yank.
At 16:35 Ms. Bredehoft says "And that's a good question!" But she does not answer the question. Once again (as always), Ms.Bredehoft deflects the question.
I made up my mind about this case based on what I saw and heard in the courtroom, not what people were saying on social media. I don’t see why it would have been any different for the jury.
If Amber Heard was doing all these secret audio and video recordings, especially audio, which would be easier to conceal, she would have caught something. Anything. An audio of him at least being angry or aggressive towards her. She had nothing. She had pictures of him sleeping to embarrass him. He had audio of her admitting to hitting him and cutting off his finger. Testimony is one thing, but usually DV victims have some physical, audio or video evidence. He assaulted a kitchen and a video camera. And? Some mental health professionals encourage that when dealing with severe PTSD. It’s his life. If he wants to drink and take drugs, that’s his business as long as he’s not physically assaulting other people. It’s not illegal to be flawed. If she cut off his finger with a bottle, that’s assault and battery. If he SA’ed her with a whisky bottle, that is what it is. A crime. We have an audio confession of the former, none of the latter. Wouldn’t Amber have seen her GP sometime after she claims to have been SA’ed? There would be a medical report of that. You don’t just recover from something like that. You need medical attention.
As someone that experienced a light form of abuse in past. It's like you are always a deer caught in the headlights, you are more stunned that the person who you previously been in a good relationship with would suddenly start hitting you or cursing you. Now I wasn't severely abused so I don't know what people do in that case, but I do know victims don't make the smartest choices immediately. So its hard for me to say that dv victims usually would be able to get some evidence, because it depends on the person. However I see what you are saying, because she had recordings, she should have been able to get more sound proof, and I agree, since your abusers give multiple opportunities for you to gather proof.
The problem with Amber's team is that they walked in into the courtroom as absolute winners from the very beginning because she is a woman against a man. Me too told them so. Little did they know that Amber had recorded her own abuse against Johnny, and she lied to her legal team. They got really surprised as soon as evidence was put on the table.
Elaine sounded like a lunatic, rambling on and on, trying to tell Ambers lies over and over, all of Ambers witnesses had the same story, none of them were there and none of them met Johnny.. Yet they all knew the exact same narrative
@@Zzx75 Elaine was in the UK with Amber though, and at that trial Amber was only a witness and didn’t need a lawyer. I doubt her insurance paid for that. Could be though
In all honesty I have the feeling that if I was in the jury by the time I travelled to and from court and sat through testimonials and crap all day the last thing I would have wanted to do would be to go home and hear more about the case. The week off in the middle I would have wanted to sit in a bubble and pretend I did not have to know anything about it. I would have hit brain drain on it.
If I were on the jury I'd've taken that week and slept, binge-watched TV shows and movies, and played video games. No news, no celebrity news, nothing so much as reality-adjacent.
@@bcpr9812 True. And there are two facts that neither Amber nor Elaine seem able to wrap their head around. First, not everyone suffers from an addiction to social media, unable to stay away from it for more than 24 hrs. (in fact, nobody amongst my family o friends followed this case or cared about it at all. Just me.) Second, lots of normal people have the ethics to both respect the oath they made and care about law and truth.
I absolutely love your takes on the case. So knowledgeable, sweet, honest, and sincere. On a different note; Why is your channel region locked? I can see black belt barrister's channel just fine and he's from the UK. Disappointing. I want to watch more of you my Queen.
Also, you know, why did they specifically bring up social media to the jury as part of their evidence? Putting aside that Amber herself said to look her up if they wanted to see the online campaign (obviously orchestrated and led by Johnny, of course, because clearly anyone that isn't on her side must be in his employ - even if they have no connection to him whatsoever), her own legal team literally brought in an expert to talk about social media hashtags like "JusticeforJohnnyDepp" and "AmberTurd." If they were worried about social media influencing the jury, they shouldn't have intentionally introduced it to the jury.
@@VenathTehN3RD Interestingly, most of the analysis in UA-cam came from professionals like lawyers, psychologist..and etc. Most are all well versed with the law and most of them actually leaned on Depp's side because of how ridiculous how her answers were and how weird her team handling the case.
"Are we 1000% sure that the jury was not exposed to social media?" No, we are not "1,000% sure". Especially since the question is not whether the jurors were "exposed" to social media, whatever that means and as minimal as that may be. However we have no evidence that the jury followed anything on social media. We have no evidence that the jurors violated the oath that they took. And we have no evidence that the jurors did not take their responsibilities extremely seriously. Aside from that, jurors who violate their oath can not only be thrown off of a jury but can be cited for contempt and jailed. Besides the fact that we should also be just as concerned that the jurors were exposed to any media at all as the majority of the mainstream media were extremely biased in favor of Amber Heard. Proposing that the jurors were exposed to social media is not a legitimate concern, it is simply a way for the losing side, the one with the malicious pathological liar and incompetent lawyering, to impune the character of the jury. And as a technical note Camille Vasquez's cross-examination did not go to hearsay and "what if" because she wouldn't have been able to do that even if she wanted to, and I'm not suggesting that she did. In the US courts, as we saw Camille Vasquez do with her objections, hearsay and speculation get shut down fast. Amber Heard's crazy cat lady lawyer Elaine tried it, and the video of Camille Vasquez shutting it down with objections, "hearsay", "speculation", "leading", "lack of foundation", "beyond the scope", went viral, it was so satisfying.
@@dlloyd312 Thank you. I think the most concise way to put it is to say that the jury didn't need to get their opinions off social media. They're the jury. Their's is the only opinion that matters.
I think Ellaine couldn't accept as well what they missed from their own evidences and the credibility of ambers words and that a younger female attorney beat her up on this trial that's a slap on her experience
She was out of her league as a lawyer, in a high profile case. This was not her forte, she does come with honors throughout her career. She may of taken it, to bring attention to her firm and her own career.
Re the jury and social media. The interviewers question was specifically "What role might social media have played IN THE VERDICT?" Isn't that the key question? It isn't merely, did the jury happen to see any social media material about the trial. Isn't what matters whether or not their verdict swayed by what they saw/heard on social media instead of being solely based on what they saw and heard in the courtroom? Ie, if they saw/heard social media but sensibly and appropriately disregarded that in coming to their verdict, then their exposure to social media is irrelevant. I think that's what Ben Chew is saying. He believes (lacking any evidence to the contrary) that the jurors stuck to their oaths as much as possible, and at the very least, if they were exposed to social media, they did not allow it to SWAY them from what they experienced in the courtroom. And really, if any juror had started mentioning related social media material during breaks or during verdict deliberations, another juror who took their oath seriously would likely have brought it to the court's attention.
All of the "supressed" evidence that Elaine speaks of consisted of transcripts of conversations between AH and her therapist, ie. "mental health records." That is not admissible for a very good reason. It is totally possible to lie to your therapist, and it proves nothing. Objection: Hearsay.
All of Johnny's old girlfriends spoke favorably and lovingly of him. Even grumpy Ms Barkin said nothing of being abused. "He threw a bottle across the room. Not at me."
So interesting thing that happened after her round of testimony Survivors in staggering numbers and even one of the Me Too founders threw there lot onto Johnny's side. I myself as a survivor she triggered both my BS meter and my danger senses. Just to put it in numbers, the Justice for Johnny hashtag was 20 billion+ to hers at a bit over 27 million.
Many male victims will empathise with Depp's situation. During testimony Dr Shannon Curry mentioned the behavioural patterns exhibited by Heard - blocking egress, pursuit of victim, verbal and physical escalation, degrading the target. She added that where it occurs it's 90% female in origin.
Loved how she asked her questions and also the words she used, very specific. Never let her get away with her wording of her answers. For JD I have never seen anyone with so much facial control but even there one could pick up the sadness, the memories. With AH’s public appearances I think the best thing for JD is to do nothing, go enjoy life and rock on.
I think Elaine was called in by the judge and warned because you were right, trashing the jury and the trial went too far. She was scheduled for Court TV and others but the day of the interviewer had to apologize for an empty chair where Elaine was supposed to be. She is still apparently taking "a much needed rest"
BTW, Elaine Brederhoft's backgound is in employment law. AH's legal team were not chosen by her they were chosen by her homeowners insurance. A rep from the insurance company was present every day in the front row on AH's side of the court (middle aged blonde woman constantly taking notes).
I’m not sure if that’s true, because Elaine was also with Amber at the UK trial, and Amber didn’t need a lawyer there, and Elaine was not even licensed to work in the UK, Amber was only a witness in UK. So this scam was in the works since day one.
Definitely think you and Black Belt Barrister should team up, especially about these Depp v Heard video reviews. Some slightly opposing views re social media at least …. What do you think guys?
I agree with your opinion about the interviews. The two teams of lawyers in this history making case will set a precedent and be studied for years to come in High Schools, College and Universities for many years to come.
Turns out half the jury didn't even use social media. Trouble is with UA-camrs because social media is such a big part of thier life they assume its the same for everyone else. I don't use social media, the only I have used was Facebook to show pictures of my kids to family but even that I stopped after a few months. A juror just came out and said that half the jurors don't use social media anyway, plus its easy to avoid, just delete the app, you can reinstall it later, its not needed for most people's day to day life.
No he didn’t have his chance to bring his evidence and truth out in the uk cos the judge dismissed half his evidence that not even the blackbelt barrister believes should of been dismissed hence the petition he’s set up in the uk because he believes there’s a chance there’s been an injustice here in the uk regarding Johnny and all the evidence the judge disregarded n that is in the judges own notes what evidence he dismissed which should of been included if u haven’t already go check his channel out n sign the petition to get the uk appeal looked at again
@@dewilew2137 I’ve never been good with writing but of course through out that’s what’s important to you right? Putting me down not the fact an injustice has been done, because to me as a DV survivor that’s what’s important not my writing or struggle in writing or your putting me down for my writing especially in a topic such as this! She has mocked all victims and survivors in her lies and false allegations by using us, our stories and pain we suffered,the me too movement,the UK courts and the mainstream media for her own gain but of course my bad writing is what’s important to someone like you who clearly bitches at the smaller things in life and not about what’s really important. You may be good with writing and English but you’ve definitely got a small mind if that’s what you’re bitching at and not the bigger point of what she and the UK judge has done in this case,sad really.
You have the most fantastic reaction channel I’ve ever stumbled across! I’ve been glued to your channel since this morning watching you ❤dissect the Johnny Depp Amber heard trial.
In regard to Social Media, Amber spoke to the jury and directed them to research it online. She then criticised the jury for being influenced by social media.
So, i am no American, so i don't know how it's going with Jury there. But i watched Bruce Rivers - US Lawyer videos, and he said Jury takes their job Very seriously. And while it is possible that they actually were exposed to the media, i doubt that they had it to the point where that would influence their judgement. That to be said, having trial on Cameras, Definitely worked in favor of Depp. If it would have been behind Closed door, and Jury or Judge would be Bias, that might have ended like UK trial and nobody would have known. Now, everybody saw it, and for 98% of population, for people who have eyes, it was Obvious that Amber is full of sh*t.
Heard's lawyer was making the news rounds *VERY* soon following the conclusion of the trial, where I don't know that Depp's lawyers would've, but, in a way, they really had no choice but to respond to Elaine's many allegations. Heard's lawyer also threw the judge under the bus by claiming she prohibited the admission of valid evidence. 19:28 - "... and there's a tremendous amount of evidence, much of which did not come in to this trial, did come into the UK trial. We even had more evidence, we had medical records, we had mental health records that went back to 2012 ..messages from Mr. Depp's assistant...." Specifically, the 'medical records' - this was covered, in depth by another UA-camr, that Elaine is putting more merit of Amber's telling a therapist there was a abuse (and the therapist not *witnessing anything, only DICTATING WHAT'S BEING SAID*) as trying to lend further credibility to Heard's telling of a story because it's now got the benefit of effectively being put onto the letterhead of a medical professional. It's misleading and not the doctor's observation, rather a doctor's recording of what they're being told without discernment.
Why is it everyone is trying turn this into a battle of sexes. Look at the facts and decide for yourself. The facts that convinced me are 1.The domestic violence trained deputy didn't notice anything she infact spoke to amber up close. 2. Audio recording where Amber is admitting to violent and mocking Johnny running away and not being a man saying Johnny as admirable 3.Ransome note by her divorce attorney demand three penthouses, cars, cash for her silence. 4.Mountain of evidence from Amber turned out to photos of Johnny sleeping his hotel swimming pool lawn etc..lol 5.Johnny came out as a genuine person and AH didn't. If this cases was criminal case AH wouldn't have been able to all these allegations and get away as long she did Cops would have cracked the case applying pressure on co- conspirator with forensic evidence etc.. Time we all recognize AB has no gender.
It's not everyone, just Amber and her court, plus grifters who make a living out of the scandal. Don't forget that movements like MeToo, created with the best of intentions, more often than not end up being coopted by people who use them as political platform and put pressure on the stablishment's media to repeat their cackle. They're not many, just noisier due to their exposure. But most people on the comments in every video, and the hasgtags flying around the world masively support Depp, by the billions. Amber's side are just using the old Giebbels technique, keep lying non stop and some will believe you, because gaslighting's all Amber's ever known. She must be the most one dimensional person I've ever seen, no personality of her own whatsoever, only one approach to life and only one weapon in her arsenal.
Just saw some video during their UK trial, just wondering it seems like it is ok/acceptable to eat during cross examination while giving your testimony. How could it be
The Legal Queen, please cover the USA's hearings on the Jan 6th Committee- Capitol Insurrection. So many lawyer tubers and youtubers covered the Johnny Depp trial which I loved and yet haven't for the Jan 6th. Surprisingly as both benefits being covered, most importantly the one involved saving our Democracy. To me that is sad to see as it is about our Democracy. Whether you agree with it or not, it is on public and that is due process where in other dictators countries don't have the freedom to have that. In Gratitude.
Bruce Rivers does a show with his son and you do with your mom. I think that’s awesome. I hope my daughter wants to spend time together when she’s older
The verdict only has a detrimental effect on liars. They keep going on about the mountain of evidence that was ignored, as if they don't understand that was part of the issue, they had so much evidence of nothing. Most survivers of abuse have little if any evidence because they are scared to document anything and certainly scared to film thier abuser, especially while being abused. Amber clearly didn't have that fear. She filmed loads of stuff. She took pictures of minor injuries days after the incident apparently happened. Ironically she would have been more credible without all that stuff like most survivers are. With the amount of inconclusive stuff she documented why wouldn't she have documented something more conclusive, at least once, it just dosnt add up and thats the issue. Not to mention she made herself less credible by doing things like clearly saying she knew nothing about TMZ when there's video evidence of her slipping up and saying she did. Even if you give that the benefit of the doubt and say she didn't tip them off herself, she said on the stand she knew nothing about it, when clearly she did. Then there's the donation thing where she never used "pledge" and "donation" synonymous in the past while claiming she had donated the full amount, past tense even saying the number, when taking credit for doing so on a TV broadcast. There's even audio of her admitting to cutting his finger off. In a conversation with Dr Kipper and the nurse when they arrived immediately after the incident, she says plain as day "i did it, I'm sorry." There were other issues that damaged her credibility aswell. Even just the fact her own descriptions of the injuries don't match up with the violence she describes and thats without the massive rings she even said he always wears. She would be cut to the bone, black and blue, which would be horrible but wasn't the case or what even she claimed. This won't harm others because they won't have all these issues, the clear lying, the huge amounts of pictures and videos but then nothing conclusive. Even if someone is adamant damage was done, it was done by Amber.
A lot of the jury was very offended that they were being accused of shirking their duty especially because this was a very long case and they got invested in seeing it through.
I think Amber should have to pay every penny. Johnny could make her pay it to the children's hospital if he doesn't want it. But, she should have to pay it all.
So happy to find a UK lawyer that gets why most of us are against AH. It is not a gender problem; it is proof vs gender bias. And I don't see JD as a saint; it definitely was a toxic relationship.
I honestly wish we could change it to domestic abuse instead of domestic violence because there are other ways to harm people without physical abuse. Domestic abuse will cover mental, emotional and physical abuse.
Elaine is garbage, Amber is garbage, it makes your blood boil to listen to these people. Just horrible people, I’m so glad Johnny got away from these people.
Imo, Amber lied on Johnny. I don't think he ever layed a hand on her. When Johnny declared the marriage over and communicated his intention to file for divorce, Amber was infuriated. Filled with rage that he was leaving HER, she set out to destroy his life. Armed with ill intentions, arrogance and a mountain of bullshit (evidence), Amber was certain the masses would side with her. Having succeeded as a witness against Johnny in his UK lawsuit against the Sun, she was over confident, and cocky in the defamation trial. She grossly misjudged the strength of her testimony and how evident it was all a plethora of lies. She lost like she should've.
Absolutely Heroes 💯 The Best Case ever for me, Because of all of Amber Heard Testimony That made Absolutely no sense at all, The facial expressions was absolutely Ridiculous 💯 The tone in her voice when describing everything Johnny Depp did to her, Who speaks like that.!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was the worst aching in History... Ben Chew team deserves a medal For going up against A mountain of lies..
Lmao you say what we're all thinking: "instead of your closing you might want to go over your cross examination." I would not want Elaine representating me.
Elaine like Amber will not hold herself accountable for her poor performance and lack of preparation after six years time to prepare. The football player said look in the mirror, what could I have done better? What mistakes did I make? Refusal to self examine will hold you down Elaine! Elaine is attached to a trial in another country is irrelevant as Tracey Moloney said. This case was in the U.S.A. as was the Defamation, wake up Elaine! To Hank you for your view of this case and your candid comments.
Did you know you channel is not available in the US for some reason? Your video popped up on my for you page and when I clicked your channel to see what other videos you had posted it will not allow me to, due to location. 🤷🏻♀️
The people that gave Elaine the benefit of the doubt during the trial in spite of that incredibly dead in the water redirect on Amber gave up on her after these comments. Someone shut her up after two days of these interviews and she hasn’t been seen since, except at the 24th hearing where Judge Penny A put her in her place, and what a great judge she is.
The only way I feel it was a step back for women is there will be women out there who really have suffered DV & will be even more cautious of coming forward.
A man being abused who fights back is not mutual abuse ... If it's the other way round the female victim is seen as brave for standing up for themselves
Johnny, a male, was a victim of domestic violence. I, a female, am thrilled he came forward because it opens the door for other men who may be suffering in silence.

Now I wasn't severely abused so I don't know what people do in that case, but I do know victims don't make the smartest choices immediately. So its hard for me to say that dv victims usually would be able to get some evidence, because it depends on the person. However I see what you are saying, because she had recordings, she should have been able to get more sound proof, and I agree, since your abusers give multiple opportunities for you to gather proof.
The problem with Amber's team is that they walked in into the courtroom as absolute winners from the very beginning because she is a woman against a man.
Me too told them so.
Little did they know that Amber had recorded her own abuse against Johnny, and she lied to her legal team.
They got really surprised as soon as evidence was put on the table.
I mean, you'd think they would've reviewed the evidence beforehand and realized the self-own they were walking into, but nooooooo...
Elaine's closing comments were absolutely dire. She waffled on with ridiculous statements. I'd be surprised if that team ever get work again!
Elaine sounded like a lunatic, rambling on and on, trying to tell Ambers lies over and over, all of Ambers witnesses had the same story, none of them were there and none of them met Johnny.. Yet they all knew the exact same narrative
I doubt Amber actually hired Elaine. Amber’s insurance company probably hired the least expensive attorney they could find. Well that backfired!
@@Zzx75 Elaine was in the UK with Amber though, and at that trial Amber was only a witness and didn’t need a lawyer. I doubt her insurance paid for that. Could be though
In all honesty I have the feeling that if I was in the jury by the time I travelled to and from court and sat through testimonials and crap all day the last thing I would have wanted to do would be to go home and hear more about the case. The week off in the middle I would have wanted to sit in a bubble and pretend I did not have to know anything about it. I would have hit brain drain on it.
If I were on the jury I'd've taken that week and slept, binge-watched TV shows and movies, and played video games. No news, no celebrity news, nothing so much as reality-adjacent.
@@bcpr9812 True. And there are two facts that neither Amber nor Elaine seem able to wrap their head around. First, not everyone suffers from an addiction to social media, unable to stay away from it for more than 24 hrs. (in fact, nobody amongst my family o friends followed this case or cared about it at all. Just me.) Second, lots of normal people have the ethics to both respect the oath they made and care about law and truth.
I absolutely love your takes on the case. So knowledgeable, sweet, honest, and sincere.
On a different note; Why is your channel region locked? I can see black belt barrister's channel just fine and he's from the UK. Disappointing. I want to watch more of you my Queen.
If the AH team was so worried about social media influencing the jury, why didn't they bring up jury misconduct during the proceedings?
Exactly!
Because that would require evidence. Filing a complaint about jury misconduct without evidence can fall under unprofessional misconduct.
Also, you know, why did they specifically bring up social media to the jury as part of their evidence? Putting aside that Amber herself said to look her up if they wanted to see the online campaign (obviously orchestrated and led by Johnny, of course, because clearly anyone that isn't on her side must be in his employ - even if they have no connection to him whatsoever), her own legal team literally brought in an expert to talk about social media hashtags like "JusticeforJohnnyDepp" and "AmberTurd."
If they were worried about social media influencing the jury, they shouldn't have intentionally introduced it to the jury.
@@VenathTehN3RD Interestingly, most of the analysis in UA-cam came from professionals like lawyers, psychologist..and etc. Most are all well versed with the law and most of them actually leaned on Depp's side because of how ridiculous how her answers were and how weird her team handling the case.
The AH team brought the jurys attention to the negative social media abourt Amber. AH asked the jury to look her up on social media.
I love this woman.
You are clear cut and to the point.
"Are we 1000% sure that the jury was not exposed to social media?"
No, we are not "1,000% sure". Especially since the question is not whether the jurors were "exposed" to social media, whatever that means and as minimal as that may be. However we have no evidence that the jury followed anything on social media. We have no evidence that the jurors violated the oath that they took. And we have no evidence that the jurors did not take their responsibilities extremely seriously. Aside from that, jurors who violate their oath can not only be thrown off of a jury but can be cited for contempt and jailed.
Besides the fact that we should also be just as concerned that the jurors were exposed to any media at all as the majority of the mainstream media were extremely biased in favor of Amber Heard.
Proposing that the jurors were exposed to social media is not a legitimate concern, it is simply a way for the losing side, the one with the malicious pathological liar and incompetent lawyering, to impune the character of the jury.
And as a technical note Camille Vasquez's cross-examination did not go to hearsay and "what if" because she wouldn't have been able to do that even if she wanted to, and I'm not suggesting that she did. In the US courts, as we saw Camille Vasquez do with her objections, hearsay and speculation get shut down fast. Amber Heard's crazy cat lady lawyer Elaine tried it, and the video of Camille Vasquez shutting it down with objections, "hearsay", "speculation", "leading", "lack of foundation", "beyond the scope", went viral, it was so satisfying.
Well said. All important points covered In a very concise manner.
@@dlloyd312 Thank you. I think the most concise way to put it is to say that the jury didn't need to get their opinions off social media. They're the jury. Their's is the only opinion that matters.
Most people take their jury duty seriously, and they tell on jurors that break that oath too.
Well said! But You forgot the best objection though: “unintelligible” …
I think Ellaine couldn't accept as well what they missed from their own evidences and the credibility of ambers words and that a younger female attorney beat her up on this trial that's a slap on her experience
She was out of her league as a lawyer, in a high profile case. This was not her forte, she does come with honors throughout her career. She may of taken it, to bring attention to her firm and her own career.
Ellaine's career in her current firm is about as long as Camille is living.
@@drag0nblight Well....she got wrecked, that's kinda crazy
@@jacquesdaniels2435 Plus, she got a clap back from Morgan Tremaine a.k.a. TMZ Draco Malfoy.
@@drag0nblight He was amazing.
Re the jury and social media. The interviewers question was specifically "What role might social media have played IN THE VERDICT?" Isn't that the key question?
It isn't merely, did the jury happen to see any social media material about the trial. Isn't what matters whether or not their verdict swayed by what they saw/heard on social media instead of being solely based on what they saw and heard in the courtroom?
Ie, if they saw/heard social media but sensibly and appropriately disregarded that in coming to their verdict, then their exposure to social media is irrelevant.
I think that's what Ben Chew is saying. He believes (lacking any evidence to the contrary) that the jurors stuck to their oaths as much as possible, and at the very least, if they were exposed to social media, they did not allow it to SWAY them from what they experienced in the courtroom.
And really, if any juror had started mentioning related social media material during breaks or during verdict deliberations, another juror who took their oath seriously would likely have brought it to the court's attention.
All of the "supressed" evidence that Elaine speaks of consisted of transcripts of conversations between AH and her therapist, ie. "mental health records." That is not admissible for a very good reason. It is totally possible to lie to your therapist, and it proves nothing. Objection: Hearsay.
All of Johnny's old girlfriends spoke favorably and lovingly of him. Even grumpy Ms Barkin said nothing of being abused. "He threw a bottle across the room. Not at me."
I think Elaine is looking to be retained for the appeal so is persisting with AH's version of events
Great analysis! 💯
AH's team where the first to high tail it to the media 5he very next day. JD's team gave a statement right after the verdict and kept silent.
Love this lady's reaction, thank you for the video!
So interesting thing that happened after her round of testimony Survivors in staggering numbers and even one of the Me Too founders threw there lot onto Johnny's side.
I myself as a survivor she triggered both my BS meter and my danger senses. Just to put it in numbers, the Justice for Johnny hashtag was 20 billion+ to hers at a bit over 27 million.
Yes that triggered me. For at least 3 weeks now I hear her voice saying the things she said. I have nightmares
Many male victims will empathise with Depp's situation. During testimony Dr Shannon Curry mentioned the behavioural patterns exhibited by Heard - blocking egress, pursuit of victim, verbal and physical escalation, degrading the target. She added that where it occurs it's 90% female in origin.
Another great video, I love your views on this trial…..absolutely fascinating!❤️
Loved how she asked her questions and also the words she used, very specific. Never let her get away with her wording of her answers.
For JD I have never seen anyone with so much facial control but even there one could pick up the sadness, the memories.
With AH’s public appearances I think the best thing for JD is to do nothing, go enjoy life and rock on.
I love the way you look at the evidence and make a good rational of things!!
These videos are great thank you !
I just absolutely, love and appreciate your views and your commentary...wonderful, insightful and interesting! Thank you! 👏💐🇨🇦❤
I think Elaine was called in by the judge and warned because you were right, trashing the jury and the trial went too far. She was scheduled for Court TV and others but the day of the interviewer had to apologize for an empty chair where Elaine was supposed to be. She is still apparently taking "a much needed rest"
BTW, Elaine Brederhoft's backgound is in employment law. AH's legal team were not chosen by her they were chosen by her homeowners insurance. A rep from the insurance company was present every day in the front row on AH's side of the court (middle aged blonde woman constantly taking notes).
I see. Now that explains a LOT
I didn't know that 😳 explains a lot
Why would they not choose competent lawyers then? She loses, they pay out massively!
I’m not sure if that’s true, because Elaine was also with Amber at the UK trial, and Amber didn’t need a lawyer there, and Elaine was not even licensed to work in the UK, Amber was only a witness in UK. So this scam was in the works since day one.
I love this woman she's gives awesome commentary. Much love x
Excellent
I can't believe you are even doubting the credibility of the jury! They made an oath to uphold the judicial system, so they will abide by that oath!
How does this video have only 619 likes?? You are spot on, Legal Queen - thank you!! 👑
Elaine and Amber were absolutely perfect for one another. A terrible person and her terrible lawyer.
Its insulting to the jury to assume they would be willing to break their oath and check out social media, especially without any evidence.
Waiting for this
Definitely think you and Black Belt Barrister should team up, especially about these Depp v Heard video reviews. Some slightly opposing views re social media at least …. What do you think guys?
I agree with your opinion about the interviews. The two teams of lawyers in this history making case will set a precedent and be studied for years to come in High Schools, College and Universities for many years to come.
Turns out half the jury didn't even use social media. Trouble is with UA-camrs because social media is such a big part of thier life they assume its the same for everyone else. I don't use social media, the only I have used was Facebook to show pictures of my kids to family but even that I stopped after a few months. A juror just came out and said that half the jurors don't use social media anyway, plus its easy to avoid, just delete the app, you can reinstall it later, its not needed for most people's day to day life.
All hail The Legal Queen. 💞
just because the jury may have been exposed to media doesn't mean they were influenced by it
So Glad I found your channel! You need more subscribers! 🎉
Her closing was crap she should practice them before not afterward.
No he didn’t have his chance to bring his evidence and truth out in the uk cos the judge dismissed half his evidence that not even the blackbelt barrister believes should of been dismissed hence the petition he’s set up in the uk because he believes there’s a chance there’s been an injustice here in the uk regarding Johnny and all the evidence the judge disregarded n that is in the judges own notes what evidence he dismissed which should of been included if u haven’t already go check his channel out n sign the petition to get the uk appeal looked at again
Jesus this is a nearly illegible run-on sentence.
@@dewilew2137 right I was like, Is my English not good? But I got their point
@@dewilew2137 I’ve never been good with writing but of course through out that’s what’s important to you right? Putting me down not the fact an injustice has been done, because to me as a DV survivor that’s what’s important not my writing or struggle in writing or your putting me down for my writing especially in a topic such as this!
She has mocked all victims and survivors in her lies and false allegations by using us, our stories and pain we suffered,the me too movement,the UK courts and the mainstream media for her own gain but of course my bad writing is what’s important to someone like you who clearly bitches at the smaller things in life and not about what’s really important. You may be good with writing and English but you’ve definitely got a small mind if that’s what you’re bitching at and not the bigger point of what she and the UK judge has done in this case,sad really.
You have the most fantastic reaction channel I’ve ever stumbled across! I’ve been glued to your channel since this morning watching you ❤dissect the Johnny Depp Amber heard trial.
Camille and team are headed to UK to see Johnny in concert. They deserve a vacation and celebration. ❤
Can you please do more i like the way you explain the trial also youre voice is ver calming
She wanted to destroy his legacy. What a despicable human being
Amber and Elaine 'What-if-anything' Bredehoft can't introspect. Everything bad happens is someone else's fault.
Love your videos, please make your channel available in US.
In regard to Social Media, Amber spoke to the jury and directed them to research it online. She then criticised the jury for being influenced by social media.
ua-cam.com/video/eFsvOinS8HQ/v-deo.html
Can you open access to your video library so it can be viewed in the USA?
She's awesome
I apreciate your outlook , it'd great when sanity still exists else where too about logical things
So, i am no American, so i don't know how it's going with Jury there. But i watched Bruce Rivers - US Lawyer videos, and he said Jury takes their job Very seriously. And while it is possible that they actually were exposed to the media, i doubt that they had it to the point where that would influence their judgement.
That to be said, having trial on Cameras, Definitely worked in favor of Depp. If it would have been behind Closed door, and Jury or Judge would be Bias, that might have ended like UK trial and nobody would have known. Now, everybody saw it, and for 98% of population, for people who have eyes, it was Obvious that Amber is full of sh*t.
Didn't work in the Uk trial social media destroyed Johnny
Heard's lawyer was making the news rounds *VERY* soon following the conclusion of the trial, where I don't know that Depp's lawyers would've, but, in a way, they really had no choice but to respond to Elaine's many allegations.
Heard's lawyer also threw the judge under the bus by claiming she prohibited the admission of valid evidence.
19:28 - "... and there's a tremendous amount of evidence, much of which did not come in to this trial, did come into the UK trial. We even had more evidence, we had medical records, we had mental health records that went back to 2012 ..messages from Mr. Depp's assistant...."
Specifically, the 'medical records' - this was covered, in depth by another UA-camr, that Elaine is putting more merit of Amber's telling a therapist there was a abuse (and the therapist not *witnessing anything, only DICTATING WHAT'S BEING SAID*) as trying to lend further credibility to Heard's telling of a story because it's now got the benefit of effectively being put onto the letterhead of a medical professional. It's misleading and not the doctor's observation, rather a doctor's recording of what they're being told without discernment.
Why is it everyone is trying turn this into a battle of sexes. Look at the facts and decide for yourself. The facts that convinced me are
1.The domestic violence trained deputy didn't notice anything she infact spoke to amber up close.
2. Audio recording where Amber is admitting to violent and mocking Johnny running away and not being a man saying Johnny as admirable
3.Ransome note by her divorce attorney demand three penthouses, cars, cash for her silence.
4.Mountain of evidence from Amber turned out to photos of Johnny sleeping his hotel swimming pool lawn etc..lol
5.Johnny came out as a genuine person and AH didn't.
If this cases was criminal case AH wouldn't have been able to all these allegations and get away as long she did
Cops would have cracked the case applying pressure on co- conspirator with forensic evidence etc..
Time we all recognize AB has no gender.
It's not everyone, just Amber and her court, plus grifters who make a living out of the scandal.
Don't forget that movements like MeToo, created with the best of intentions, more often than not end up being coopted by people who use them as political platform and put pressure on the stablishment's media to repeat their cackle. They're not many, just noisier due to their exposure. But most people on the comments in every video, and the hasgtags flying around the world masively support Depp, by the billions.
Amber's side are just using the old Giebbels technique, keep lying non stop and some will believe you, because gaslighting's all Amber's ever known. She must be the most one dimensional person I've ever seen, no personality of her own whatsoever, only one approach to life and only one weapon in her arsenal.
Totally agree especially since 1 in 4 men and 1 in 3 women are victims of IPV
The only ones trying to turn this into a battle of "the sexes" - are Amber and her team/supporters. Those who are misandrists.
After this interview the judge told Elaine not to do any more interviews.
Just saw some video during their UK trial, just wondering it seems like it is ok/acceptable to eat during cross examination while giving your testimony. How could it be
EB and AH should both have kept their mouths shut after the trial. They have not helped their case at all.
The Legal Queen, please cover the USA's hearings on the Jan 6th Committee- Capitol Insurrection.
So many lawyer tubers and youtubers covered the Johnny Depp trial which I loved and yet haven't for the Jan 6th. Surprisingly as both benefits being covered, most importantly the one involved saving our Democracy. To me that is sad to see as it is about our Democracy. Whether you agree with it or not, it is on public and that is due process where in other dictators countries don't have the freedom to have that. In Gratitude.
Bruce Rivers does a show with his son and you do with your mom. I think that’s awesome. I hope my daughter wants to spend time together when she’s older
The verdict only has a detrimental effect on liars. They keep going on about the mountain of evidence that was ignored, as if they don't understand that was part of the issue, they had so much evidence of nothing. Most survivers of abuse have little if any evidence because they are scared to document anything and certainly scared to film thier abuser, especially while being abused. Amber clearly didn't have that fear. She filmed loads of stuff. She took pictures of minor injuries days after the incident apparently happened. Ironically she would have been more credible without all that stuff like most survivers are. With the amount of inconclusive stuff she documented why wouldn't she have documented something more conclusive, at least once, it just dosnt add up and thats the issue. Not to mention she made herself less credible by doing things like clearly saying she knew nothing about TMZ when there's video evidence of her slipping up and saying she did. Even if you give that the benefit of the doubt and say she didn't tip them off herself, she said on the stand she knew nothing about it, when clearly she did. Then there's the donation thing where she never used "pledge" and "donation" synonymous in the past while claiming she had donated the full amount, past tense even saying the number, when taking credit for doing so on a TV broadcast. There's even audio of her admitting to cutting his finger off. In a conversation with Dr Kipper and the nurse when they arrived immediately after the incident, she says plain as day "i did it, I'm sorry." There were other issues that damaged her credibility aswell. Even just the fact her own descriptions of the injuries don't match up with the violence she describes and thats without the massive rings she even said he always wears. She would be cut to the bone, black and blue, which would be horrible but wasn't the case or what even she claimed.
This won't harm others because they won't have all these issues, the clear lying, the huge amounts of pictures and videos but then nothing conclusive.
Even if someone is adamant damage was done, it was done by Amber.
A lot of the jury was very offended that they were being accused of shirking their duty especially because this was a very long case and they got invested in seeing it through.
That was so good cutting through all the crap to focus on the facts but Amber will never stop this is all she has
I think Amber should have to pay every penny. Johnny could make her pay it to the children's hospital if he doesn't want it. But, she should have to pay it all.
You know your closing was bad when you thought about doing it a hundred times over. Lol
Judge Azcarate admonished the jury on a daily basis, to Not pay attention to news about the trial including searching on Social Media!
So happy to find a UK lawyer that gets why most of us are against AH. It is not a gender problem; it is proof vs gender bias. And I don't see JD as a saint; it definitely was a toxic relationship.
what about the Make-up kit , which was shown that makeup kit did not come into existance until late on ,
I honestly wish we could change it to domestic abuse instead of domestic violence because there are other ways to harm people without physical abuse. Domestic abuse will cover mental, emotional and physical abuse.
Elaine is garbage, Amber is garbage, it makes your blood boil to listen to these people. Just horrible people, I’m so glad Johnny got away from these people.
Imo, Amber lied on Johnny. I don't think he ever layed a hand on her. When Johnny declared the marriage over and communicated his intention to file for divorce, Amber was infuriated. Filled with rage that he was leaving HER, she set out to destroy his life. Armed with ill intentions, arrogance and a mountain of bullshit (evidence), Amber was certain the masses would side with her. Having succeeded as a witness against Johnny in his UK lawsuit against the Sun, she was over confident, and cocky in the defamation trial. She grossly misjudged the strength of her testimony and how evident it was all a plethora of lies. She lost like she should've.
Sorry I was distracted by the party waiting to happen in the back of the room
I agree
Absolutely Heroes 💯
The Best Case ever for me,
Because of all of Amber Heard Testimony
That made Absolutely no sense at all,
The facial expressions was absolutely Ridiculous 💯
The tone in her voice when describing everything Johnny Depp did to her,
Who speaks like that.!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was the worst aching in History...
Ben Chew team deserves a medal
For going up against A mountain of lies..
My new favourite word... "RUBBISH"
😂
Lmao you say what we're all thinking: "instead of your closing you might want to go over your cross examination." I would not want Elaine representating me.
Is anyone else not able to go to The Legal Queen’s channel? It lets me subscribe but I can’t look at any of her other videos 🥺😔
Elaine like Amber will not hold herself accountable for her poor performance and lack of preparation after six years time to prepare. The football player said look in the mirror, what could I have done better? What mistakes did I make? Refusal to self examine will hold you down Elaine! Elaine is attached to a trial in another country is irrelevant as Tracey Moloney said. This case was in the U.S.A. as was the Defamation, wake up Elaine! To Hank you for your view of this case and your candid comments.
Miss Vasques speak aut the True.!!!Abuser hat not a Gender!!!!
Did you know you channel is not available in the US for some reason? Your video popped up on my for you page and when I clicked your channel to see what other videos you had posted it will not allow me to, due to location. 🤷🏻♀️
Could you react to either Black Belt Barrister's commentary on the UK case, or on the UK case judgement itself?
Elaine was defending the millions of fees they charge. 😂
bredehoft was the 1st one to go to the tv comp
Completely agree
The people that gave Elaine the benefit of the doubt during the trial in spite of that incredibly dead in the water redirect on Amber gave up on her after these comments. Someone shut her up after two days of these interviews and she hasn’t been seen since, except at the 24th hearing where Judge Penny A put her in her place, and what a great judge she is.
there is a LOT of alcohol in your dining room lol
More shoes! LOL
The only way I feel it was a step back for women is there will be women out there who really have suffered DV & will be even more cautious of coming forward.
13:57 Jesus Christ Elaine, we were there - she literally says the op ed was about him ua-cam.com/video/mmspY9YZjgc/v-deo.html
A man being abused who fights back is not mutual abuse ... If it's the other way round the female victim is seen as brave for standing up for themselves
