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.

There will be a newsletter and youtube debrief...
… on the day’s events. The youtube update lands here: reportingdeppvheard.net/youtube/ or you could go onto youtube and subscribe to my Reporting Depp v Heard playlist here: youtube.com/c/NickWallis

The newsletter powers all of the above, so if you want to subscribe to that - it’s a...
… one-off tip jar donation request here: reportingdeppvheard.net/newsletter/

to get daily updates after court finishes. I prioritise getting the newsletter together for paying subscribers over the other channels. Hopefully you’ll find one of them useful!

Also here on Twitter doing quantam reporting - sitting in court absorbing information and writing notes whilst also sitting outside court to try to tweet from the live TV feed.

I still haven’t cracked that as it requires being in two places at once.

We are not allowed any…
… electronic devices in court, let alone using them to live tweet.

Anyway, do subscribe if you haven’t already - it’s a one-off donation, as I said, and I’ll try to keep you informed one way or another.

Meanwhile here is a nice picture of the sunrise. Dawn at Fairfax County Court.
Okay we’ve had the first hour in court concluding Dr Kipper’s deposition. Today JD is wearing a dark three-piece suit, light shirt and grey(?) leaf (?) patterned tie , with his hair in a pony tail. AH is wearing a black tailored suit and black shirt buttoned to the top, with...
… her hair down, side-parted. JD came into the courtroom wearing shades if I’m not mistaken. We’re on a break. Dr K’s depo has concluded. I am going to try to summarise before we go back in.
We started with a text from JD to Dr Kipper (DK) saying Dr Cowan (who I think was treating AH) should be "stripped of his licence” and then physically stripped painted red and attached to a lampost or something, calling him "an irresponsible turd of monumental proportions."
DK was asked if he remember this text. He did. He added “I have a great respect for Dr Cowan”

JD complains AH has been filled (by Dr Cowan?) with hippie speak eg. “Your fear is so visible”

DK confirms he was in the employ of JD from 2015 and that he remains in his employ.
Says his diagnostic impression of JD was that he had Primary Dopamine imbalance/ADHD/Depression/Insomnia/Chronic Substance Abuse Disorder/Chronic refflux

DK describes the registered nurse Debbie Lloyd who was assigned to JD to adminster meds. She was with him a lot of the time..
… which JD agreed to. DK met with JD over 22 - 24 June 2014 and met with AH too.

Asked if AH says she was concerend about JD hitting her. No
Would you have documented if she did?
Yes
He says in his notes that “Amber has a strong family history of drug and alcohol abuse and...
… and is particularly sensitive to his behaviours and and potential for abuse.”

DK clarifies this means substance abuse no violent abuse. And when referring to the former part of that statement he said AH is:

“used to seeing the trauma that it...
… inflicts and is not only able to recognise it but also it affects her… she has the ability to understand what that looks like.”

An observation or something she told you?

“Something she told me"
We cover the detox trip to JD’s island in the Bahamas where JD, AH, Debbie Lloyd (DL) and several JD assistants were present in Aug 2014. Johnny stayed in his residence, a small structure with a bedroo, bathroom and kitchen area. DL and DK stayed in yurts 5 mins drive away.
DK checked on JD once a day physically and several times a day electronically. At one point they met JD was “frustrated. he was uncomfortable”. AH was not present during that meeting but he did see her the next day.
He was asked if AH sought treatment for physical injuries...
No.
Would he document it if she had.
Yes.
Would you recall if if se had asked.
Yes.
Did not see any injuries on her the day after 17 August.
Asked throughout the time he had known him to that point if he ever witnessed him being physically abusive to AH?
No.
See any physical evidence of abuse?
No
Did he observe AH abuse JD? No.
AH became DK’s patient and was eventually assigned her own nurse under DK’s control
Her name was Erin Burin (EB). She was seeing AH on at least a weekly basis. We are taken to [Kipper 34] a document by EB dated 27 Aug 2014. They make no mention of any abuse or injuries towards AH.
DK is asked.
Did AH seek treatment for DV injuries.
No.
Did...
… AH seek treatment for any injuries caused by DV?
No.
Did AH tell you JD abused her?
No.
Did you witness any violence?
No
Would they be in EB’s notes if she was told about any violence?
Yes
In March 2015 (the finger incident), DK went to Australia to visit JD. the day after his arrival he was told JD had lost part of his finger. He went to the house JD was renting. JD was outside the house in the car. DK treated JD’s wound whilst instructing those present to search
… the house for the tip of JD’s finger. It was found by the chef on the floor of the kitchen.

DK confirms he went into the house (where he issued the instruction) and witnessed broken glass in the kitchen. He saw blood, but no blood on any glass.
Asked if DK saw JD. Yes.
“She was certainly upset” but she did not seek medical attention for any injuries. He did not witness any injuries. She did not have a swollen face nor scratches on her hands or feet that he could recall.
Asked if he had witnessed any inuries whether he would have documented it.
Yes.
Go to an assessment of AH made by another one of DK’s nurses after she complained of a headache on 17 Dec 2015 - notes say “Bumped her head after standing up two days ago”
Physically examined. No physical injuries noted and no sign of concussion.
We cover a request made on 8 Aug 2016 by AH for any medical records during Dec 2015 which is sure he would have supplied.

DK is re-examined about the cut finger...
… by someone I assume is an AH attorney.

You referred to a text message by Mr Depp.
Yes
And he says he cut his finger. Correct?
Yes.
The reference from the emergency room was that JD had cut his finger with a knife. Correct?
Yes - I was present for that. that’s what he told...
… the ER doctor.
You didn’t put in your notes that he was hit by a broken bottle?
No.

DK confirms once more that he neither saw AH being hurt by JD or JD being hurt by AH and got no reports from anyone that either party had been violent towards one another.
We start the Debbie Lloyd depo. Dr Kipper was a bouffant-white-haired gentleman, DL is a blonde-haired lady wearing glasses during this depo. She tells the attorney that during a phone called with a JD attorney (Camille) she was asked if JD had ever thrown anything at her.
She said no. She was also asked if she would go to Virginia to testify.
She said no, she wouldn’t
[hence the depo, I guess]
Asked if she spoke to Adam Waldman - she remembers an Adam trying to contact her but doesn’t remember his last name.
DL is a certified addiction nurse. taking care of patients with chemical dependency issues. Drugs and alcohol.
DL was contracted to DK via an organisation called Turning Point to nurse JD. She had worked for DK before.
What did DK say to you about JD’s care
Detox
Detox from what
Don’t know the specifics originally - but... opiods.
Any others? Cocaine?
I never witnessed him use cocaine?
What gifts did you get from JD?
A jewelry box and a fancy notepad.
Why?
I don’t know - a thank you?
Anything else?
Not that I recall.
DL confirms that EB was hired by DL to work for turning point.
DL i was taking care of JD and AH, it was decided AH needed some support so I brought EB in for AH.

DL confirms she was primary nurse for JD and EB was primary nurse for AH but sometimes EB covered for her. She did not cover for AH.

Who decided AH needed nursing care?
Don’t recall.

According to this.

So I went to the lofts (ECB) and I remember that night AH was already leaving - she was in the lobby and when she saw me she came back to the apartment. I remember JD was sitting outside and we went to leave and somehow we didn’t end up leaving.

Why?
DR
Who else was there?
Travis McGivern

Do you recall seeing Ah throw anything at JD
no
JD to Ah
no
Any physical violence
I saw JD push over one of AH’s clothing racks
Any physical violence between them?
No

At some point me JD and TM left
Where did you go
Can’t remember
Where did AH go
Don’t know

But she didn’t come with you?
No

[we’re on a break. alleluia.]
I am going to go into court for the last session and will take notes to write up for the newsletter. I may come out early to tweet but can’t guarantee it.

If you want a round up of the day don’t forget to subscribe to the newsletter here:

reportingdeppvheard.net/newsletter/

A one-time...
… only donation and you’ll be on board for the rest of the trial.

Also I’ll get youtube video up, but no Park Bench interviews as it’s pouring with rain. We shall have Colonnade Conversations with some wannabe law students I met who have been watching all day.
And then I’ll be on Court TV later with @VinniePolitan at 8pm ET.

Laterz.
@VinniePolitan I’m sorry I did not get to add to the tweets after the afternoon break. I had to put together a youtube update, a newsletter and go on Court TV. I’m clocking off now for a 3am alarm call.

What larks.

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.
Once more I have forgotten the hashtags:

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.

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

reportingdeppvheard.net/youtube/

I’ll correct the AI subtitles on it shortly, that’s the next half hour’s job. Also I was on Court TV’s #DeppvHeard debrief show...
… yesterday. You can watch that here.

and there is also a podcast if you want a daily update delivered into your ears every morning. The new one should drop shortly...
