Extraordinary evening in DC. Rain belting down. Proper loud thunder and lightning. Felt like the storm spent half an hour directly over the building. It’s back to being a lovely spring morning now. Heading to Fairfax on the Metro.
Johnny Depp is being recalled to the witness box today. This trial has five more days to go. I won’t be live tweeting it but I will watch every second, send out a daily newsletter and hopefully get enough people willing to do a daily park bench interview for my Youtube channel.
My main feeling is one of fatigue. God knows how the parties and lawyers feel. I’ve also been informed there have been problems overnight with line-cutters (queue-jumpers) outside court. It has a hashtag #justicefortheline. Of course it does.
If you want to check out the Reporting Depp v Heard podcast, YouTube stuff and newsletter - just go to ReportingDeppvHeard.net - though be warned if you donate to sign up to the newsletter there are only a limited number to come as the trial is ending this week!

This is the most extraordinary expert witness testimony I think I’ve ever seen.
I have just asked @HeatherDexterR1, a long-time correspondent of mine, who is an expert witness in UK courts (covering fraud, director disputes or professional negligence claims) and a member of the Expert Witness Institute, what she thought of what we just witnessed. She replied
@HeatherDexterR1 "The role of the EW is that of one to assist the court in understanding complex matters and their opinion should be given independently and not influenced by counsel or the client...

It’s a glorious morning here at the Fairfax County Judicial Complex. District Court 5J will soon be in session for the second day of Amber Heard’s cross-examination in the #DeppvHeard defamation trial. Thread follows.
The spectators are in court. The two parties’ legal teams have just strolled past me into court and the jurors are down the corridor to my right being quite chatty (amongst themselves, obs)
Proceedings begin at 9am eastern time.

This was the line at Fairfax County Court for #DeppvHeard this morning at just gone 7am. There are no journalists in the main court today. People have been queuing overnight.
Court began at 9am. I had UK TV news duties to attend to regarding the first hour of evidence, and I am now catching up, whilst sitting outside court 5J with the other journalists.
You can watch the live feed either by watching the E! news youtube TV feed which shows evidence as it comes up:



OR the Law and Crime feed which mainly focuses on Depp and Heard in split screen.

Hi there’s another youtube video up - I posted it yesterday but forgot to mention it here. Two stalwarts from the National Coalition for Men give there views on the issues surrounding #DeppvHeard:

I am acutely aware that most...
… of the youtube content I have been posting mainly features interviews with Depp-leaning or supporting interviewees. One correspondent was kind enough to watch every single interview and break down THE MINUTAGE of those who are pro-Depp, neutral or pro-AH. It’s quite...
… a statistical endeavour! I have that correspondent’s permission to put the full breakdown in my next newsletter, which I’ll put out tonight.

If you are an AH supporter and have some professional or personal interest in #DeppvHeard and would like to be interviewed by me...

Good morning from Fairfax County Court. This was the queue at 6am….
And this is new. People had started camping out, in contravention of a court order, so now the benches are police and the queue starts at 1am. Nowadays you need to be here at 3.30am to guarantee a place in the main court.
Sorry THIS is new….

Good after (just) in ET time (just) and welcome to Fairfax County Court where I have not been live tweeting due to a UK 5 News commitment and due to wanting to spend a bit of time in court.

Tweet thread follows...
The day started with the cross-examination of Dr Dawn Hughes by Johnny Depp’s team.

DH is a forensic psychologist hired by AH’s team. Yesterday she told court she diagnosed AH with PTSD due to violent sexual abuse by JD. She also did not diagnose her with BPD or HPD...
… this morning Wayne Dennison for JD’s team said that when DrH spoke of victims she always used the she/her pronouns and said she couldn’t remember when she last testified for a male victim of abuse.

DrH said she used female pronouns because it was appropriate to her...
