The fact Depp seems to have the same people around him for many years who’ve nothing but praise for him is testament to his character
🤑
You understand that he pays them for their services, right?
@@pobox7026 and you understand that amber heard own sister and mother fear her right
@@pobox7026 If you work for someone you don't like, or do something you don't like, do you keep doing it or do you find a different job?
@Beefy Beeferton i don't know what does depp paying this people have anything to do with this
Starting to think Amber’s lawyers took this job so they can see Johnny Depp everyday even if it means embarrassing themselves in front of the world.
You're so funny 😄💙
Elaine is used to being in the prosecutors chair.
Nope...they are waiting for the witnesses they call. These are all to make Depp look good.
He lost in England remember.
They need to address all relativity to the problems the lead to accusations
When they have no evidence… all they can do is sling mud!!
This dude finally hit the nail in the head. I would make that lawyer define EVERY single adjective before I answered anything
Johnny testified that somebody mismanaged his money for a long time and this new financial advisor was there to clean it up. It may have been catastrophic news to hear, but his financial situation was not catastrophic. He had the assets to take care of the problems. He just needed time to get some things sold.
Thanks for clearing that up
and it definitely sounds like this guy (the current accountant/business manager) knows what he's doing
Exactly
@@TevRGN he's on point
Amber and her bum family and friends leeching off him didn't help either 😡
This dude is just like the lady Psychologist. Smart, articulate and knows his business.
The only thing he lacks is that captivating girlboss energy
Thats what an expert witness looks like
ADORABLE
100%
Yes he is my choice when I need an accountancy firm next time!!!
This man is FIERCE about his client's reputation and his financial stability!!!
he's about to have a lot of job offers, as he should🤗
He’s awesome
Indeed.
he is really good and wise
I love how Johnny Depp has wisdom to hire such great people who are so loyal to him
This is so sad. None of this has anything to do with ambers destroying his life.
I’m sorry her lawyer is the most disrespectful lawyer I’ve ever seen.
It’s obvious she is looking for money.
It was goes down to credibility and Amber’s lawyers did a good job in testing their credibility. I don’t see Johnny winning this case even though I want him to win.
Uts a cross exam its meant to be rough
It's as though she shot herself in the foot.
Made it impossible for him to earn money then wants what he hasn't got due to her apparent lies
It's absolutely disgusting how she speaks to people.
@@batiso Johnny has already won.
Not only did he prove that he was the victim n Amber was the abuser, but it was also proved that her op-ed DID kill his career.
This is over for AH
That moment Johnny's business manager asked Amber's lawyer, 'can you define liquidity for me,' and couldn't answer. Wow, the people working for Johnny are very articulate, smart, and collected.👏🏼
Let's gooo, Team Johnny!!! ❤🙌🏼
I'm not sure knowing the term liquidity counts as smart. It's taught as low as junior high or high school. Source: Me - I teach it in Grade 11 math.
plus the moment of silence when he knew he is f*ked up 7:22 🤣
@@MrBrock314 Well, liquidity is certainly cash. But also might include everything that can be sold fast without problems like government bonds. I think normally shares of public listed companies are not directly counted a liquidity, but they are certainly part of the liquid assets, since they can be liquidated immediately (depending on the size maybe with a slightly reduced price)
timestamp
4:20
I love when the witnesses are smarter than the lawyers questioning them 😂
Amber has some really incompetent lawyers..
Define liquidity. Lol
'ME TOO' 😆 GOD BLESS
You can tell Johnny’s financial manager really care for him. Good man and very professional.
You can feel his rage towards AH every time he mentions how she keeps messing up the job JD is paying him for which is managing his money.
@@acembd7813 that lawyer and his partner are both super disrespectful and bitter. It’s like they have a personal vendetta against Johnny and anyones testimony that go against amber. This guy seems jealous Johnny spends what he could never make in his lifetime
We're was thisis financial advisor when Depp got scammed for millions?
@@charrua59 I believe that was prior financial manager that he was in lawsuit as discussed during cross examination. He fired them and hire this firm
For $750 an hour I'd be bloody loyal too! Only joking 😂
The man's precise way of talking made me smile.
His income took a hit when he was slandered and his character was defamed by Amber Herd. She should pay for the lost wages of not working in Pirates 6, and other projects he may have missed. I hope this ruins her financially and destroys her career. She deserves to loose it all.
Yup it totally will 🥳🥳🥳🥳
She deserves to be lock up with those nasty female inmates, and get a lifetime debt for difamation. She has the tool to pay back big time. More questions please message the Spidey mate Franco and others.
afaik thats not on trial in this case, only regarding the op-ed.
She’s Nothing but a Gold digging Psychopath.
Trust me, she doesnt even come close to having enough money to pay what he would have earned from the next pirates movie lol. Let alone, that and all the other lost projects combined.
Amber’s Attorney: he had liquidity problems, yes?
Witness: how do you define liquidity?
AA: how do YOU define liquidity?
W: here’s how I define liquidity
AA: I don’t speak fancy business school words. Explain it to me like I’m 5.
WHAT EVEN ARE THESE LAWYERS DOING!? They make themselves look worse than they should.
Haha I chuckled at that too!!
My thoughts exactly. He just defined liquidity.
The average American juror reads at the level of 8th grade or lower. In simple terms, the average American juror needs these terms explained and to be explained by the witness as opposed to the lawyer. And the explanation needs to be increasingly simple and specific
@@miscellaneouslife2778 There is no way a good portion of the jury understood half of this accountant's testimony. I understood it because I use the terms all the time, but I feel like the lawyer was trying to use these terms and then misuse interpretations of them to confuse the jury. Especially because right after the accountant defines liquidity, the lawyer "ask" about things that have to do with solvency, not liquidity. (i.e. it wasn't Ms. Heard who bought a yacht, was it?)
Maybe they hate Amber too, she must be paying them $25/hr 🌝🌚
Its beginning to look more and more like she was just looking for a quick pay day.... 14 million for a 15 month marriage? Tax free?!?!?!! So he paid all the tax on that 14 million? And now shes counter suing for 100 million?!?!??! OUTRAGEOUS
She's a gold digger
Ms Entitled
Amber psyop 🕸 🕷
That's cheap considering he has a net worth of 150 million and he squandered 650 million.
He spent 5 million to shoot some dude's ashes out a cannon.
@@yancooper3008 and had a right to do so!😂
Johnny opening up his whole personal life even fiscal matters for the whole world to see not to mention keeping a sense of humor throughout the trial, makes people like him even more.
I think it’s made ppl feel even more sympathetic for Depp!
Don't forget the fecal matters as well!!! 🤣😂🤣😂
@@Simon53188 Ba dum tsss
fecal matters
1000% correct.
I find it interesting how lawyers push "stick to the facts" but then use terms like "catastrophic" to evoke an emotional response.
"You drank a MEGA pint of wine, didn't you?"
That's just the job of lawyers, they are always trying to mislead witnesses to create favorable angles. The worst part is that they have free reign to ask whatever they want but the witness can't ask anything back in return. That would be obstructing the court.
Kind of the plan
That’s the whole reason Lawyers can object to each other.
If they really wanted to, the catastrophe question could have Been objected against, because using the undefined word, catastrophe, is leading the witness. It could also be speculation, as whether it’s a catastrophe or not is not a fact the accountent can testify to.
They work for the person paying them, it's a game of chess
The more and more I'm watching it the more I see that Amber lawyers are waisting court time. The amount of time they look for paper work is tremendous
Waste more time and resources, May be coz they believe depp will pay, but when amber will have to pay them.. haha 😄
This little actress never thought jd would go this far to clear his name. Mad respect for jd. I can't wait to hear what amber says if she takes the stand.
I never even heard of her till this trial
I hope she loses her temper on the stand
I am eager to see her take the stand as well… but I feel after this Milani make up scandal/lies she may not.🤷🏾♀️ Either way she makes my A** itch🥴
She will certainly have to take the stand
She will take the stand. She will be the first witness next week.
“Define the term liquidity.”
“I don’t speak these business terms that you speak.” Isn’t he supposed to be a lawyer?
To be fair, liquidity can mean a lot of different things even in the investment world.
@@anomalily errrrrr no it can’t!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I'm starting to think now that amber lawyers are trying to get Johnny in trouble with the IRS cuz they can't get him on amber. Why else would her lawyer be using income tax pay.
It's very common for lawyers to request the witness or expert witness explain the terms to the jurors. Because the term liquidity could have multiple interpretations, the business manager did not use the term liquidity, even though what Johnny did have was liquidity issues (he had assets, but no cash to pay off his short term debts). Because the manager did not want to use the word, the lawyer had to have him define the definition he did not choose to use (perhaps because it sounded worse?).
You have to have watched a lot of court proceedings to know how these things are done. For example, the police officers had to define many terms that were obvious, but it still needs to be defined for the jurors.
He shouldn't be asking questions if he doesn't know the meaning of the word.
I feel like this whole line of questioning essentially is trying to say “Johnny is out of money” but then doesn’t that just shot themselves in the foot after he paid 14 million for the settlement..? Doesn’t it all just point to him being screwed in the settlement if anything..?
Not really because he still had assets exceeding his liabilities. So the settlement is allowed be to based on his assets, not limited to liquid assets such as cash and public stock.
I definitely need a counselor like him in my life. Such a professional man.
We need this guy to straighten out the USA financial problems.
Pretty sure 75% of government employees would be axed. Don’t see anything wrong with that.
We really do
People working in the FED or in the government are also well versed in their domain. Don't think that a country as big as the US has idiots running it despite ecerything
Nooooooo kidding!!!!! He gives me hope that maybe I can still be "sharp" in my old age. Dude has it going on!
johnny depp chose to reveal all his personal details to the public, because the modern day justice system can’t do it’s job. what a tragedy.
edit: justice has finally been served
Yyydd
No, the "justice" system of US is RIGGED. Americans don't even control their own courts. Not even their banks. Or their media. It's not that they can't do their job. It's because it's DELIBERATE. Don't believe me? Let's say if Johnny did a SPECK of what that lunatic did. You think this whole thing would've been dragged out to such level? No. Not in a million years. He would be in jail now.
Straight up.
I dont think it's because of the justice system. He had to because of public opinion and the problems the public statements made about him by AH caused.
I feel it's actually working in his favor!
bless this old man's soul, may he live another 20 - 30 more years
He’s not that old
He is not that old just an accountant. Quite normal...😊
@@yeshalloween Still, bless this man's soul. He's a treasure.
@@alabaaba7917 🤔I'd say he's in the 50 -70 range. But you're correct. Just an accountant. A very treasureable accountant.
Shame on this lawyer. He brought up 'liquidity' but couldn't explain what he meant by it? Even if it's just for the jury to understand. This is exactly how they try to win. Just throw a bunch of jargon that most ordinary people can't properly define to confuse them, then expect them to take your conclusion as facts. When amber loses, she needs to sue these lawyers. She sucks at being a human/wife, and they suck at being lawyers. Perfect for each other.
Don’t be so naïve! Of course the lawyer knows what liquidity means. He is just trying to make a cheap point and he fails.
AHs team did the same with the psychologist, too. She literally told her "No" when she attempted to explain something she said. The attempts to ensure the jury doesn't understand professionals testimonies are brazen.
And that was weak of the lawyer. Asking if Johnny had enough cash in the bank account and enough projected cash flow to pay the incoming liabilities probably would have to be resulted in a no. And then asking what would happened if that would continue without change .. he would be insolvent (but not bankrupt, and because of the change in strategy the insolvency was avoided)
@@marcdaniels9079
I don’t think it’s being naive at all. All of Heard’s lawyers are complete fcking idiots and it wouldn’t shock me, or anyone else with half a brain, if he didn’t understand what it meant. One of the lawyers literally objected to his own question and you’re making the claim that they know what they’re doing? Ok.
She wouldn’t sue them because she believes herself to be victim and right. Typical narsasist. Even if she wins or looses I guarantee she still continues with the hate train against him
I mean… do JD taxes have anything to do with the deflamation case? So disrespectful. And he still wanted the trial to be broadcasted even if he knew they were going to take his personal life apart and try anything to bring him down, this is how far he is willing to go to just show his innocence to the world. So much courage.
This defamation case is riding on JD saying that the allegations ruined his career and finances. The route that heard’s lawyers are attempting here is to make it look like (to the jury) his finances were in ruin before the issue with heard. It’s just another avenue for them to beat the defamation case specifically… it won’t do anything for them but in the case that they could actually prove something along those lines it could help them a lot.
Very good point
@@Xeetrix Thats incorrect as he still has work coming in along with a plan to come out of it whole. The Op-ed took away that opportunity as the evidence has already proven JD case.
@@cryptocannoli2512 eh ? i think you totally missed Matthews point . He is correct on what he is saying, hence Depps attorney asking his business manager if depp has now paid all his tax debts? and he answered yes. thats all they needed to know
@@Xeetrix thank you for the explanation 🙂
Its amazingly dishonest that a man ( heards attorney) would have to frame his questions in such negative terms and then challenge another man ( of greater intelligence and integrity) about the answer given and cut him off to refuse the man a reasonable explaination. Heards attorneys are the kind of people that respectable folks don't invite for dinner.
100% agree and I'm sure the Jury sees and feels the same.
Its fine. The court process as explained by the judge will allow chance for redemption/counter. The "prosecuting" position can go as hard as they want. One can trust the system to be pretty reasonable. That being said, if I were a lawyer, Id aim to simple make sure to get to the truth of my side without manipulation and pressure felt is only because of that intense search.
Tell me you don't know how a court of law works without telling me you don't know how a court of law works.
Perfectly said
That has been their strategy from the very beginning. But it's so obvious not smart in any way.
Attorney uses term 'liquidity' and refuses to define it after being asked. Then uses term 'catastrophic' that neither the questioner nor witness defined.
Man her lawyers are terrible, what an embarrassment all of them.
So far it seem that all people around Depp is so nice, except only Amber which is his one mistake in his life.
yup
Which cost him a lot unfortunately
it takes many steps to climb up, but even just one mistake can fall you to death.
@@padma6113 Nothing less than everything, as he said. He isn't an angel but I'm sure AH was the manipulative and abusive one looking for a big payday. I could be just charmed by JD of course, but it looks increasingly to me as though AH intended to take him for as much as she could from the start.
@@JS-ob2qp yeah!! UNBELIEVABLE how she is even getting away with all this!!
The more I follow this trial, the more convinced I am that Heard's legal team are comically inept. Worse, it's growing increasingly obvious that Heard herself is....well, not a nice person.....and was only in the relationship for the money. Shame, Amber. Shame!
Actually that is precisely the point. She wasn't gold digging if she was gold digging she would have married someone with a yacht not someone who had had to sell their yacht long before they married. Depp had earned a billion dollars yet they lived in a fairly pedestrian building. Hardly comparable to the lifestyle of other megastars with giant estates in the Hollywood Hills or beachfront properties in Malibu. All she wanted was for him to sober up and come to her birthday parties but he wouldn't do any of it.
@@ek7390 this is the one of the more ludicrous and silly comments yet😂😂. Hopefully you’ll be blessed with someone exactly like amber in your life that only wants the best for you 🙄😂🙄😂
Rottenboern is also an unpleasant person.
@@ek7390 So someone who is able to pay $14 million in and also paying for the tax liabilities in a short period of time is pedestrian and having financial problems?
@@emmaevans7011 thats what he get paid for
These lawyers just blurt out outrageous claims and characterisations and are allowed to get away with it. It’s strange. In many jurisdictions around the world the Judge would tear them apart for these antics.
Exactly.
like Catastrophic news :D
Actually the catastrophic remark was a well researched attack by the attorney. It was refreshing to see an actual piece of "lawyering" from the guy. I'm team Johnny all the way but this attorney's job is to shoot holes in the plaintiff's case and the defence actually achieved that for a change.
@@dynamo1796 true, i found the manager a little less credible after that.
@@dynamo1796 No, it wasn't. That's like bragging you made a foul in a game you're losing 100-0. He said in the UK case the situation of his last advisor mishandling his money was catastrophic, not his finances. They are two different things. The fact Depp's team didn't object is shocking.
This guy is king! Man, what an intelligent, articulate, confident man. Makes me want to get an accountant (if I could afford one).
If you are looking for a knob to polish, there are easier ways.
@@charleybarley7148 lmao
What doesn’t it encourage you to be an accountant?
@@charleybarley7148 jealous?
Lolll u sure right
how is a lawyer going to ask someone and couldn't give a definition.. shows his stupidity
His lack of definition is likely intentional
It's a gotcha question, same with "catastrophic" I guarantee you he could not define it either but they are trying to hurt his credibility more than anything else.
Look for Dr Waldman's testimony in the trial of Michael Jackson's physician. He's asked if he works full-time. Dr asks attorney what he means by "full-time". Verbal sparring follows.
If I was on the jury I would be so irritated by Amber's counsel at this point. They aren't establishing anything of import in relation to DV claims, they're just trying to embarrass Depp by implying that he's broke.
Same!
I would have been asleep by now... Serious respect for everyone that's still awake.
He wasn’t “broke.” He had assets. The defamation harmed him by cutting off his income.
His Finance manager is awesome, straight up guy.
As accountants our reputation is everything, and seeing things like this disgust me. Rottenborn ought to be ashamed and his BS is not only shameful, but tiresome even to the layman. Shout out to all the accountants out there, we should aspire to this!!
Her lawyers are rude. Talking over all of them. How is the judge allowing that.
Her lawyers are desperate!!
I believe it is a tactic to get them flustered, therefore, not thinking at witty as usual. Also maybe to try and appear wildly confident in the accusations and their validity.
@@blaise3305 That's not my impression.
I thought this case was about defamation - not the financial solvency of Johnny Depp. I find this so disrespectful.
It's about the bigger picture 🙄💭😔
They have to show how much money he was expected to earn and how much money he potentially lost due to what he says were false allegations. If you don't show people the books they don't know what you have lost.
it's a 37 week trial they have to talk about something
@@vlad3858 I heard it's for 6 wks total. She testifies next week.
@@gloriaa.garcia3985 The defence will probably start their case next week, but Heard won't be testifying that soon. She has zero credibility and her team will have to work hard to try to rehabilitate her before they risk putting her on the stand.
A lot of our debts outweigh our income, but does that mean his net worth wasn’t positive? Say you owe $300k on a mortgage and you earn $80k a year, that would mean your debts outweigh your income. But it doesn’t mean you can’t afford the debt…
Its literally that simple ! But it doesn't make you sound ' broke ' ....
Johnny hasn’t got any big role
And nobody bothered to ask „Why does your debt outweigh your income?“
*Because Amber‘s accusations ruined his career and made it impossible for him to make money by being an actor!*
What the lawyer is trying to say is that his debt news was so catastrophic that he took his anger out on Amber and beat her
@N.J I agree
When she said on that Dutch panel show and indignantly said , "I wanted nothing from Johnny (in the divorce)." How can someone lie like that? How can anyone still defend her?
As a juror I would consider everything the lawyer is ignoring regarding explanations of answers. As they matter. They argue like children. He said this, she said that. Fact. Case closed. That's utter nonsense.
What would your judgement on this be, given your capacity?
The tactic seems to be to overload the jury with mindless information to overwhelm them and distract from the facts.
Redirect is exactly for that, so Depp’s lawyers can ask clarification for things Heard’s lawyers wanted to suppress
I think as the jury discuss the case they can only accept the things that were allowed through legally
Not sure I understand your comment. As a juror you're only to consider the facts & evidence that the judge allows. There's so much more info in this case than normally (despite bitchface not turning over discovery). They won't need more to think about what they don't get to use.
Why do they get away with such ludicrous questions, when his attorneys are constantly getting objections sustained for legitimate questions?
Bias judge from the beginning, but she hasn't done anything major for johnny's lawyers to get her off or replaced
Because they have sneakily prepared 3 different ways of asking the same question to snake around the objections.
Yes. Bias judge
The judge looks like a lesbian tbh. Probably hates men
Biased af!
The video description is slightly misleading, the accountant referred to "short-term" liabilities and assets, not total liabilities and assets. This may mean he had monthly loan payments, credit card payments, or other debts that needed to be serviced that he couldn't cover by his monthly income. Depp is an actor and probably earns his income sporadically, like a gig worker or self-employed worker. Therefore, from time to time his monthly income will be less than his monthly outgoings and he'd likely have to liquidate other assets (savings, investments, gold, etc.) to cover the gap. It doesn't mean he's selling a yacht or a house, it just means he has to tap into other non-liquid assets. It's another moot point raised by Amber's team IMO.
With the income he has had, he will not be relying on gig income. He will have investments that will be earning him substantial amounts of money. Likely they where locked up for some period of time for whatever reason, or he genuinely was just going wild with his spending (happens to a lot of people, not just the wealthy, but also the poor etc, though the scale of course varies based on there income level, just look at the number of people struggling with credit card debt).
Yes, like Commercial Real Estate Brokers/Investors, May wait months for their funds.
The only thing amber's lawyer did here was prove just how valuable the Pirates of Caribbean role would've been for Johnny if he'd never been fired from it because of her lies. Was this lawyer trying to convince the jury that Johnny Depp defamed himself by having financial difficulties that amber wasn't at fault for? I guess it's a good try but that doesn't change the fact that she maliciously & publicly lied about him which directly caused him to lose a role that would've allowed him to fix the precarious financial situation being questioned.
the last pirates movie he was paid 50 million.
Bravo Jaime! Perfectly said! I agree 100%. He obviously has managed his money for nearly 40 years. EVERYONE overspends at some point and time in their lives. I sure have. No matter what your income is...you may struggle with too much debt but if you're paying it...then let it be. My goodness. Her lawyers are just grasping at straws ..at any little thing they can because they know they have bit off more than they can chew! She lied and it's all coming out now.
Jaime Ann as an accountant watching this, not once did he say amber was spending the last of his liquidity. He's a gentleman and generous your comment is great... he could have driven it home but takes responsibility for going for a young girl and throwing cash around. Silly bugger 😜 🤪 🤣 but he didn't beat her up and she should have a criminal charge against her for lying. Or be deemed insane and didn't understand
He sued her twice this is the second trial
@@dinamihelios4288 i didn't follow everything from the start, when did he sue her the first time?
This elderly man is a darling gent. ❤️
The man was trying to say that the meeting was not catastrophic because he delivered catastrophic news, but immediately addressed how to fix it. Sadly that lawyer kept cutting him off before he could explain that fully and even tried to threaten him with that previous testimony even though it was worded differently
hopefully depp's lawyer allowed him to clarify
@@tc-tm1my they didn’t
He was saying that because there was a solution, it wasn’t catastrophic.
That lawyer did that to many people.
I mean it's Heard's lawyers obligation to bring this up, even though it is semantics whether it's "catastrophic" or "bad".
So he couldn’t define “liquidity” because he didn’t actually know what it meant, why did he ask it then?! 😂
💯💯 right. Cuz he was tryna catch him up but couldn't.
The CPA outsmarted the lawyer on that question and the lawyer refused to answer.
Kindof crazy how almost every single witness makes absolute fools out of these lawyers...
What a beautiful Gent ......he has total Respect for Johnny and we can see his disgust when explaining the greed of AH .....🇨🇦
I've never seen such rude lawyers in my life! If I were a juror that would be at the forefront of my mind
I don’t understand what Heard’s lawyers are getting at. Mister Depp had big financial problems. So that must mean he hit miss Heard!?? To me his financial problems only show what a good guy he is. Still supporting people and letting people (including Amber’s friends) stay in his houses. Also being generous to his staff and friends. And good causes. And especially still paying Amber 7 million in the divorce. Plus paying her rent and other expenses.
I don't get it either. Reaching, I guess.
Because its as much creating a strawman to reduce him in the eyes of the public, about changing the opinions of any potential jury.
The popular image of a "wifebeater", is an alcoholic with no job, who owes money.
So they hammer reputation over fact.
They probbably want to make it look like Depp is only doing this for the money coz hes running low.
I believe they're trying to show that he was having business trouble before the article to prove that it wasn't the article that caused it. They're wrong, though.
That means they are trying to prove that Jonny is an all in all bad person, who can do all the bad things.
More debt means mentally instable. That might cause him lose control and hit his wife. But which seems unlikely because if Jonny depp can smile and be stable like that in court after losing everything, I don’t believe he would ever totally lose himself to hit another person ....
Johnny really has good eyes for people he chose to work with/employ.
He really does!!!!
The lawyers of Amber Heard are so arrogant, incompetent, disrespectful to the witnesses, and they are annoying. Why even waist people’s time if all they want to do are making opinionated statements (not true questions), interrupting the witnesses, and hearing themselves talking? They objected every 10 seconds to a normal reasonable answer. Yet, they asked most absurd questions that are not even relevant. One can easily tell where they are trying to lead the jury to. I hope the jury can see through that easily too.
absolutely... but I dont believe they are actually incompetent.. its just a very difficult case for ambers side I feel like haha and asking absurd questions that arent actually relevant is a legit strategy.. for example to waste time... or fk with the witnesses credibility
Waste time
I object to your comment, Heresay!!!
Well:..
Sounds like their related to Amber.
Wtf does his taxes and money have to do with this trial of defamation 🤦♂️🤷
Character assassination..this is their whole case.
Ah that he had a bad reputation before Amber was involved.
They’re trying to say he was the reason for his defamation and not Amber Heard
To show he has money she can take. I think she's trying to do some messed up back door extortion.
As of now he owes no taxes to any institution. I think he would have been if better off if he'd met this accountant earlier on in his career.
I wish the witness was given more time to explain, rather than let the attorney quickly and rapidly ask leading questions to build his narrative.
14 million dollars for 15 months of marriage. That’s insanity!
Don't forget, tax free too.
**cough*golddigger*cough**
I thought this was a case about defamation - not Johnny Depp’s financial status. Talking about his financial solvency is so disrespectful and unnecessary.
They want to make it seem like the news was "catastrophic" that's why JD got "violent" with AH.
They fail every time
Its a defamation case, he needs to show a loss from her defamatory actions. Thats why we are hearing financials.
Her lawyer is trying to show delinquencies in taxes and spending to put it in the jury mind that Depp was in financial ruins before she came along. Thats why he tried claiming years and years of unpaid taxes and substantial debt.
Unfortunately it's necessary for this case
it may not seem pertinent but it’s the whole point of the trial.
Honestly her lawyers are always asking the most reaching questions trying to dig up any dirt and trying to "expose" Johnny. Honestly pathetic. Her and her lawyers should be took out the back like ol' Yeller
They are grasping for sure. I’m thinking they are pushing so hard because there careers could take a hit if they lose. I don’t feel any sympathy for them
your right it's embarrassing...you can clearly see everyone cares for him and supports him which is telling us something ...johnny is a good man
That is what defense attorneys do
Implying that lawyers deserve to be killed for just doing their job just because they annoy you is definitely a class act and makes you look like a reaaally good person.
I also don't care
Disgusting that the lawyers try to bring up the death of the great Hunter S. Thompson and the fact Depp paid for his funeral as if it's a negative.
Yeah like wtf. Johnny was pretty much best friends with the guy
I know that's such a nice thing done by Depp. It was his last wish afterall.
You seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of how cross examination works.
I guess it must b relating to the cost factor in envolved of 5 million $$$$??
@@-The-Golden-God- No, you do. It's objectionable leading with weak association.
Maybe the reason Johnny's lawyers are so chill and laughing is because he told them it's okay if they don't win as long as they can clear up the issue for the public. They really don't seem concerned at all if the entire jury will rule in favor of Depp.
This whole trial gets on my pet peeves when someone don't even let a person finish their sentence and just cut with their some gibberish narrative gosh
I completely agree
Right?! It's so irritating. Let the person finish talkingA
And that is why johnny is winning. The people's favor.
Her two lawyers are constantly being schooled by the witnesses and I’m living. Her and her legal team are gonna be clowns for life.
I don’t understand why this line of questioning is being permitted. The man lost two major deals and had his career destroyed. His taxes and overspending have nothing to do with it. The questions aren’t relevant at all.
"I don't speak all the business ..." Bro... how are you financially?!? If he doesn't know the basics, like "liquidity" and "liability". I personally don't accept him as a legal authority, get out of the court room. Amber's attorneys are nut jobs, a complete and utter waste of space(s).
He used that word loosely and then tried to cover up by saying he doesn't know those terms then y use it
Agree!!!! I took exactly 1 accounting course in college and can certainly define liquidity!!!!!
"I would define liquidity as where the short term assets are less than the short term liabilities-"
"OBJECTION!"
HEARSAY
Objection sustained, next question😎

@@Sor9ry426 But your honor-
The title of this video is not entirely accurate if you watch the full deposition of this gentleman.
I don't the the CPA was asked about debt versus "income". The CPA stated Depp had more assets than liabilities. Assets are not income so I have no idea where the title for this video was derived.

For Amber's team to not know basic terminology that we learned about at school, which they could've googled, is pathetic. Getting snappy with a witness all because he lacks the understanding of his own questions, is just pathetic.
It‘s common to let witnesses define terms and it‘s mainly done for the jury because you can‘t know what kind of background they have and it‘s part of a lawyer‘s job to make sure they understand everything. Yes, they are annoying and often ask frustrating questions but don‘t bash them for things that are common practice and just part of their job.
@@Froggele Yes, but when the lawyer is clearly asking questions they don't understand, there is a problem. How is he not able to define a word he used, that can be used to define different matters, especially pertaining to someone as famous as Johnny Depp, who is his own brand/ business. There's intricacy here and as we can see with Amber's lawyers, they don't like details and context because they're incompetent and they think this is a good way to limit information in Amber's favour. Judging by the lawyer's rude, demeaning way of speaking to witnesses, cutting them off and trying to push them towards certain answers, I am not surprised the witness asked for a definition despite being an expert.
Accountant flatly denies the “catastrophic loss.” In other words, Mr. Depp’s financial woes were greatly exaggerated.
everything televised is greatly exaggerated
The attorney pointed out that he testified that the news was "catastrophic" in a previous trial tho.
One thing’s for sure, Elon Musk is not paying for the legal team 😂
Tbh, he'd win even if they switched lawyers. The truth is always easier. The bad side will never have any evidence.
Yeah, I think rich men are probably done with Amber Heard.
He dodge a BULLET!..
@@anonymouslee8287 only if he’s got an iron clad agreement about that baby he just had with AH.
Whatever makes you say that . He paid half a million on her behalf to charity in place of the divorce money she had to pay.
This dude is credible and I imagine a good money manager.
I adore how this man says “No.” it’s somehow curt, cute, and comprehensive all at the same time.
The lawyers line of questioning is like a classroom debate. The amount of information they have gotten wrong and had corrected to their face in the courtroom is amazing. This is the most laughable courtroom performance I’ve ever seen from a so-called professional attorney. It’s easy to see why people think Amber Heard’s lawyers are secretly fans of Johnny Depp.
"and had to sell the yacht to jk rowling" - an actual lawyer with a degree and everything.
To this day there's NO evidence of Amber being the "victim". Her lawyers are so desperate that they brought up Johnny's yatch purchase, constantly quote the UK trial transcript, and reword Johnny's texts from TEN YEARS AGO! In another court video, Amber's lawyer nitpicked on who bought and delivered muffins from the psychologist!! Also nitpicked on the psychologist having gone to Johnny's place for dinner and drinks regardless that it was a business meeting where dinner and drinks were served. Pathetic and desperate.
Don’t forget the Muffin Man!!!
There is that video and photos of her bruised.
@@heatherkirk3826 that she created w makeup.
@@heatherkirk3826 Botox injections
@@heatherkirk3826 She most likely injured herself considering how manipulative, lying, deceitful she is. Even the psychologist that evaluated her stated Amber's tendencies to exaggerate.
Amber's attorneys should quit this case.
She is making them all look like fools.
And I'm pretty sure they're going to double their fees for the b******* that she put them through.
I have been following this case and I am still confused how she can counter sue for double the money. Amber is going to be hated after all of this. She is also going to be lonely and have no money!
I think she was hated a lot before this!
Probably be living in a trailer after a year or so living off tips... given they dont recognize her or she drops the attitude.
A lawyer should never ask a question to which he/she/it does not know the answer or speak the lingo...especially banking and business.
100% first thing you learn In litigation!!
I'm not a lawyer. But I have heard that very same statement that a lawyer should never ask a question that they don't already know the answer to. The number of times that Amber's lawyers seem to get tripped up or surprised is really weird. It's kinda like watching an NBA player take a granny shot from the free throw line. Very jarring to see them get flustered and hear the surprise and alarm in their voice.
Now, clearly this is the Plaintiff's time to provide evidence, but the Plaintiff seems far more prepared and methodical. The interruptions and disdain that the defense attorneys show towards the professionals is very off putting. I would be really, really annoyed with the defense if I were in the courtroom.
@@jeffreyharris3440 her lawyers do not appear well-versed in the minutiae of the case. Every hour in the courtroom requires a minimum of three in preparation. That would amount to an astronomical legal invoice. American attorneys are the highest paid in the world . Limited resources translate into limited representation. This is not a pro bono case one takes on for the greater good of society. It's a battle between two elite adversaries.
How does the attorney not understand Accounting 101 terminology?
Isn't a general course on corporate law required?
Was wondering the same thing.
Is not that the lawyer may not understand but he has to get the witness to define the terminology in a way the jury can understand. If the lawyer were to attempt to define it himself he would be objected upon as testifying.
Thought the same thing too
Yes. Even I had to take Business Law for my BBA. That’s not a good legal team lol.
Yes, but it is not accounting. Law is not accounting. He did not want the terms clarified for the jury. He wants them to be left thinking JD was broke and in debt.
Her attorneys are so incompetent that I wonder if (or when) she loses this case she will be able to make a claim of ineffective counsel and get another trial.
good lord, I hope not.
AH's bringing them to doom with her. Poor attorneys.
it is beyond me the fact that the judge doesn't tear these lawyers apart alrd
Maybe uses them as court jesters.
His voice would be perfect for an audiobook, so eloquent yet gripping
I feel bad for ambers attorneys, they’re going to lose so much business after this horrible display in court lol
not if they get most of there work from wish.
Tru dat
you are talking such nonsense that its hard to comprehend, if anything they just get free big commercial around the world. lawyers of Heard fighting unwinnable case, literally in some countries if Amber walks out without beeing jailed that could be called as absolute win.
@@Fryzjerhunter it’s a civil trial so
I'm starting to wonder if it's on purpose. They know this case is unwinnable, so the plan is to act or be incompetent so they have another shot on appeal.
What does this have to do with domestic violence? The defence is just fishing for anything to try and make Jonny Depp look bad. Financial issues doesn't mean a person is abusive or violent. This is shameful behaviour. Completely unnecessary.
i strongly agree ... not related...
That's exactly what I thought
This isn’t a domestic violence trial, it’s a defamation trial. I think they are attacking his finances as a way to show his motive for suing Amber Heard for millions.
I know everyone is talking about domestic violence, but that is not the issue here at all. I guess watching too much RUclips made you think it was.
@@NeuroticLobster but that was not a secret, he have said that the people who used to work for him did not manage his financials well, and when he started this trial he said that because of what she said he lost a lot of jobs, and she took his money for something that wasn't even true, that's why she defended her self saying that "she did not say his name, so it was not her fault", but because of what she said he was labeled as an abuser, so he was lost emotionally, financially, etc. What they did was not making him look bad, what they are doing is making them selves look bad 😬
Maybe they are trying to paint an scenario were he received catastrophic news, got intoxicated and attacked Amber Head.
Judge is biased and the lawyer is rude for not letting a man explain why he said what he said when they can’t even define any of his “business terms” 💯💯💯
The witness should have asked him to define his lawyer terms.🤣
not really tbh theres clips of the judge being baffled at the stupidity of Amber team
She’s keeping things going, but she said they’d come back around “in redirect”. The witness will be questioned by Depps lawyers too, which is when they will have to get back to that statement the advisor was attempting to make
And how is ANY OF THIS helping the defense prove AMBER’S innocence? My god
They’re trying to use his money issues as a trigger for violence
They want to show that he was in dept even before amber. Because he claims to be in financal problems because of her
@Proper so can they beat JD with this??
When you can't win outright, you give a smear campaign
@@leggo0116 facts
“Did I get that right?”
Yes, that statement is the only thing you’ve gotten right
Amber's lawyer is actually making jd look even more sympathetic, getting screwed both at home and whereever/whoever was supposed to have managed his finances before this witness
Even if Depp loses, he's won the people's opinion. I was never a fan of Depp, but now I am. He seems like am incredible person whom I'd like to befriend. Amber on the other hand, seems vicious, resentful, and rageful. I'd never want to be her friend in a million years.
If he louse thinks what will happen to a normal person .15 months of marriage destroy the life of this man just because he hold a d I c k
If Depp loses there will be outrage because the correct verdict is so ridiculously obvious they would have to ignore irrefutable evidence and go against what the court represents.
I don't see him losing.
bro touch some grass this is a serious matter and y'all saying YOU want to be their friends wtf?
if he lose, there would be a riot tbh.
MOney management knowledge basics is so important for everyone.
Even if a dun got moneys?
Even if you don’t have money
100% it’s so important!
@@garysmith1863 Especially If you don’t have money.
He was spending more than bringing in but he had assests that could cover his liabilities. He had no cash/liquidity on hand enough to cover payments. He would have to make more or sell something to cover payments, to have cash/liquidity
It says a lot regardless of the fact that he pays people that’s what every person that has someone work for them do they pay people. but the fact that all of his people have stayed with him for years speaks volumes to the person he is
When a lawyer asks A question about liquidity but doesn't know what that word even means 🙄
So why does she get to hide all her text messages but ALL of his are revealed? That alone would end this entire trial
She’s not on the stand yet and also this trial is only on day 11 this could go on for months
Why are all her recordings made for her therapist revealed and none of his?
@@ek7390 She claims to have PTSD so that needs to be verified. He didn't claim anything similar so there's no reason for him to be examined.

@@ek7390 he can’t hurry anything up
These questions are IRRELEVANT!
They're trying to prove Depp had finacial issues before Heard's op ed and are just trying to make him look bad like he evaded paying taxes even though during recross it was explained Depp has paid off the IRS and currently in good standing.
They're grasping at straws because it has already been proven that Heard's op ed piece was the reason why Depp was fired from his most iconic and finacially lucrative role in POTC as Jack Sparrow.
1:30 , he said "I don't speak all the business school terms that you speak." Then why did you volunteer to cross-examine a finance guy on financial topics? When you cross-examine an engineer or pharmacist in a patent infringement case, and you ask questions about a topic that is inherently mathematical or pharmaceutical, do you in the same breath roll your eyes and tell the witness "I don't speak engineering and medical terms the way you do?"
Love this witness. Solid. Was almost waiting for her lawyer to say, "Mr. Depp claims to have liquidity problems, but he drank wine and hard liquior ... BOTH LIQUIDS! ... Remember, you are under oath!"
Amber's entourage didn't pay to squat in his penthouses.
Well there’s the problem, he had too many liquids!
🤣💀 he really doesn't speak financial terms.
So what? He spends more than he makes, just like 54% of Americans.
I wonder if it has occurred to her lawyers that they might not get paid since she isn’t good about paying up on her promises or obligations.
Her lawyers will just have to sue her.
Lawyers always see the money first. It's set up that way
I need that financial advisor in my life . Great guy
I really hope there's a season 2, love this show
