Last call for any potential new subscribers who want to read my dissection of the court order banning an Amber Heard supporter from the courtroom. Your subscription powers my ability to tweet/youtube/podcast this trial. If you sign up before 6pm ET I’ll send you yesterday’s...
… newsletter, and you’ll also be all set for the rest of the trial! It’s a one-off donation, so if you can afford to part with a bit of cash now, you’ll get the good stuff right the way through to the verdict.
Thanks to everyone who has subscribed up to now. Currently prepping everything for tomorrow’s proceedings. We’ll (most likely) be hearing the final part of Dr Kipper’s depo, Johnny Depp’s nurse Debbie Lloyd (also by depo) and then Sean Bett (JD security) live in court.
I keep..
… forgetting to use hashtags. You’d think I would have learned by now.
If you’ve come across this via hashtag - read up the thread! Apologies.
Welcome from the very cold queue to get into Fairfax County Court for Week 2 Day 6 of Depp v Heard. Can you spot your favourite YouTuber in here? I counted at least four.
Proceedings begin at 10am ET with the cross-examination of Sean Bett, then it’s….
…not Johnny Depp, but his band’s sound engineer Keenan Wyatt. THEN it’s Johnny Depp. If I had to bet on it (no pun etc), judging by the speed of proceedings to date, I reckon we’ll get to JD’s evidence at around 4pm ET, by which stage LA will be fully awake.
Good morning from the queue outside Fairfax County Court to get into #DeppvHeard week 2. It’s 7am. Proceedings will commence in three hours time. After breakfast.
I recorded a podcast in the back of the Uber on the way here reflecting on the drama of the weekend. It will be posted here: reportingdeppvheard.net/podcasts/ when it lands or search “Reporting Depp v Heard” on your usual podcast platform.
Yesterday an AH supporter was banned from court for the rest of the trial - I am trying to find out a bit more. Hopefully I’ll get a newsletter out this weekend with more on that.
Amazing. A well-spoken English lady called Gina Deuters who has spent the last hour telling us about her lifestyle as the spouse of a member of JD’s staff (and doing cocaine and/or weed with Johnny Depp and MDMA with Amber Heard and Rocky Pennington) has just been dropped as a...
… witness whilst giving evidence. Half way through he examination, a member of the AH team stood up and asked to approach the bench. He and three other attorneys went into conference with the judge. I left court to start live-tweeting.
Once the white noise they use...
… inside court to stop anyone hearing what’s been said was switched off, the judge turned to Ms Deuters and said:
J “Ms Deuters I just have a question for you. Have you been watching the trial this past week?”
GD “Um I’ve seen clips of it online, yeah.”
J “You’ve been watching..
Apologies for the late start to “live”-tweeting proceedings this morning. We started with evidence by video deposition from Stone Cold Kate Jones, Amber Heard’s personal assistant who radiated contempt for whichever poor attorney was cross-examining her. And radiated contempt...
… Amber Heard. Ms James was the witness in the 2020 trial who gave live-evidence by video link. During that evidence she was clearly angry about her former employer, stating: "Ms. Heard referred to a conversation we had about me being violently raped at...
… machete-point in Brazil and she used it as her own story. She referred directly to a violent rape that occurred to me 26 years ago and she twisted it into her own story and she used it for her own use.”
Earlier she had said "I’m a sexual violence survivor and...
Good morning from Fairfax County court buildings cafeteria in Virigina. This is not the start of today’s live-tweet thread from the courtroom - that will start in just over two hours time.
I am slowly getting to grips with this youtube lark. I think the videos are...
… improving as I get to grips with workflow and content. This is yesterday’s debrief
