We’ve got a lot to catch up on with weeks two and three of testimony in the prosecution’s case. We hear a lot about guns, ammunition and cell phone data.

We get into the motions in limine that were made right before the trial began & discuss all the evidence the parties wanted excluded at trial and why. We’ll talk about what we think the judge decided since we don’t have that order. We al…

It’s safe to say I wasn’t a fan of this interview. I’m bothered and ranting and you’re going to learn about free speech and why using the phrase “you can’t yell fire in a crowded theatre” doesnt make the point you think it does and also why it pisses me off beyond belief. Come join me as we dismantle the crap Amber Heard spewed during her dateline …

Since the verdict things have been pretty crazy. The main stream media is telling us not to believe our own eyes. It’s one of the most bizarre things I have ever seen. Today we are talking about the MSM & how survivors are reacting to being gaslit, were debunking the arguments about the verdict being “wrong” & “bad for women & survivors” Then thing…

I don’t need to say much because you guys know what’s up - the jury verdict is in and Johnny has clearly been declared the winner. Today we’re gonna talk about the verdict, compensatory and punitive damages and what to expect going forward with this legal case and specifically with appeals After that I answer some of your legal questions about the …

I genuinely cannot believe we’ve almost reached the end of our legal journey through the defamation trial of Depp v Heard. Today Johnny’s finishes his rebuttal, then Amber finishes her sur rebuttal and we get to the close of evidence & testimony. Just like we saw Johnny retake the stand yesterday today we saw Amber do the same. Let’s just say that …

Wow guys I really can’t believe we’ve been together for almost a full 6 weeks now - this trial has been a doozy and I am so happy to have you all along for the legal law analysis ride. Amber Heard rested her case on Tuesday morning in Court and from then on it was Johnny’s Rebuttal case. So the last two days have been all Johnny rebutting her testi…

Today we get into what is likely the full final day of Amber Heard’s case in this defamation trial we’ve just entered out 6th week of in Fairfax, Virginia. We do some legal analysis of her experts and criticize some of their lack of knowledge of the evidence. First we hear from expert orthopedic surgeon Dr. Moore who testified about the causation o…

Wow we have a lot of trial testimony to get to today guys so I had to condense as much as possible. So on Thursday we heard from 12 witnesses. Yes you heard that right - 12 - 11 of them were via pre-recorded deposition so you’re welcome that I sat through this nap-fest for you. As a lawyer I can promise you this was super boring for even myself. Be…

Sorry in advance for basically screaming today guys. I’m a little cranky - you’re girl needs a nap before tomorrows episode. This trial testimony is so inconsistent that I am actually annoyed today, I promise - no yelling tomorrow. Geez I sound like AH. So we hear from a bunch of ambers witnesses Snd we start with IO Tillet Wright. He says he’s not…

I am sick and tired people - Sick and tired of listening to Amber Heard be completley unable to tell the truth on the stand. Not gonna lie this episode is a little sloppy because I am super cranky and tired, but wanted to get this out to you guys ASAP. SO today we are finishing up the cross examination of Amber Heard by Johnny’s attorney’/Lawyer Ca…

NOTE: I MISSPOKE @ 30 MINS; It should be 5/21/16 incident (I accidentally said 12/15/15. Sorry guys I didn’t listen until after I uploaded it & I just want to make sure I’m giving the right info. After a long 10 days we are back at the Depp v Heard defamation trial & Amber Heard is finishing her last day of direct testimony before Elaine turns it o…

We have arrived at arguably the most important and definitely the most anticipated testimony of the trial - Amber Heard’s cross examination. Before I say anymore, can I get a round of applause for Johnny’s attorney, Camille Vasquez. This woman is not only an incredibly intelligent badass lawyer but she also happens to be absolutely beautiful. She a…

There’s a difference between being prepared and fully scripted for direct examination. I’d love to hear what you all think was the case here. Amber Heard takes the stand to defend the claims of sexual & physical abuse made in her 2018 Washington Post OpEd against Johnny Depp. We’ve got some things to say about this. Amber Heard’s claim go back to 2…

We finish up the testimony of Amber’s expert forensic & clinical psychologist Dr. Dawn Hughes. In my opinion the only experts that any of us need to hear from here are actual survivors of IPV and DV. Stayed tuned for next episode where we start to dissect all that we’ve heard from Amber herself so far on direct. If you’re into this podcast please c…

Today we are talking about the close of Johnny’s case in chief & the testimony of his final handful of witnesses. We start of with Travis McGivern, the final bodyguard of Johnnys to testify for her. He has some very interesting personal experience with Amber’s violence towards Johnny. Up next is Johnny’s agent, Jack Whigham. He tells us all about t…

Trigger warning we’ve got some detailed d…

This was not an ideal week for Amber Heard. We get testimony from the COO of the ACLU who tells us the truth about those alleged donations from the divorce settlement. After this testimony we’re all wondering AH even wrote her own OpEd. Up first we have testimony from Lady GaGa’s ex fiancée, Christian Carino. Oh and he was both JD & AH former agent…

Today we talk about Johnny’s cross examination by Mr. Rottenborn, and how well Johnny handled being in the hot seat.

Today we meet one of Johnny’s closest friends for the last 40 years - Isaac Baruch - the LA transplant from Brooklyn who has not lost his accent or NY attitude and we are here for it. Isaac was an incredible witness for a bunch of reasons including his destruction of AH’s attorneys on their cross of him. This man had the entire room laughing - even…

This is a spicy opinion episode (let me say its an opinion based on facts) about why I do not think Amber Heard is even close to as credible as Pinocchio. Today we’re talking about all of Amber’s factual discrepancies especially in light of the new evidence we’re seeing at this Virginia trial. If you want to stay unbiased I suggest skipping this on…

Welcome to Season 3 (trial 2) of Legally Dirty Blonde! I say this from the get in this episode but I’ll admit my bias on this case one more time.

There is s…
