I am not a JD fan. I Don't hate Amber Heard, but also not a fan. The last movie I thought johnny was good in was "Blow". "All the Boys Love Mandy Lane", also a watchable flick. What I am a fan of is Justice.
I came into the trial via my significant other who just had it on in the background, got hooked and watched it all. I came in thinking "Well Johnny already lost a case about this, this shouldn't be different. If a judge thought he abused Amber, then he did." Like most people, and most lawyers and Lawtubers I didn't feel Johnny had any chance to win. Zero.
Then I watched the trial day after day. I heard Johnny's side and thought.... wow that sounds horrible, but still the UK said he beat her... let's listen to her side. Dawn Hughes then came on, and I was instantly appalled. It was highly unprofessional, and her stance that men cannot be victims infuriated me to the point at yelling at the TV. Then she started testifying as if she were Amber... and my feelings started to turn at that point. But I thought -- Let's hear Amber.
I myself am a Narcissist per my wife and my family. I hold that to be true, and work on myself very hard to be malleable so that I don't seem like a dick yo everyone. I've done a great job over 15 years learning how to blend in, agree with people, and stop forcing my opinion on people because... how could I be wrong.. Enter Amber.
Immediately I could tell something was off. Her story flowed too well. It wasn't thought about at the moment, rather, recited. I know what this means all too well, as I stated in the last paragraph and it caused me significant pause. I tried to listen to her story as though yes she has NPD, but that doesn't mean she's a liar.
As the second third and fourth day with her on the stand progressed. I knew she was lying. She was doing everything she could to explain her actions, looking for the right one to please the jury. Her words were all about herself. Everything she said was THIS HAPPENED TO ME, ONLY I WOULD KNOW I WAS THERE. That was my thinking before I knew how to relate to people. It was a lie told to oneself so often that you start to believe it. Amber, admitted to nothing proven on evidence, and sought the words to appease someone so she would be believed.
By the end of cross, based on all evidence presented, I had changed my mind on everything. Amber was no longer to be trusted in any capacity. Everything she denied could be truth by the way she used her words to respond to them. I believed JD. However I still thought at this point, he would lose. Defamation is very hard to prove.
Then.. Amber's witnesses took the stand. All of them lacked credibility as they had everything to benefit from, and nothing to lose. The fact that she had zero people testify live for her was also very telling. Bridges were burnt between the settlement of the divorce and now. And based on Amber's testimony I could see why. She no longer had a use for them, and they were discarded... however they were stuck with her since they previously sided with her. None of them saw actual violence and had nothing to add to the case.
Then her experts came in comparing her to huge stars... she wasn't. Then, her evidence was torn apart, and perjury was revealed. It was at this point I knew Depp had won. An impossible to win case, won because the sheer audacity of Amber with zero proof to back it up.
Now she is on her tour, and many people do not believe a word she says. She alienated the entire world due to a single personality flaw. Do I feel bad for her? No. As a narcissist in rehab myself, I said okay at some point in future, she will realize how bad she is, get help, and tell the real truth, whatever that may be. She deserved to lose the trial based on the evidence, and it appeared malicious to me, the jury, and the public opinion majority.
To Eve Barlow: I hope one day you'll see what people are talking about, before you're tossed aside. What you are doing now by openly pursuing something that has been decided in court is a sure fire way to ruin yourself. If AH is behind it, let her do it herself. Live your life. Help women in need of it. I know somewhere in there you do actually care about women, and you should use your voice for good.
This was my thought process for the trial. I was a fan really of neither but I got hooked. And I'm glad I did because MSM really got this one wrong.
Thanks for reading.
