  • my colleagues and I from Brown are truly honored to represent the plaintiff in this case, johnny Depp, welcome to watch mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 lawyer moments from the johnny Depp.

  • Amber heard case, but he put his foot down on that one and said you need to have consequences, you cannot do this for this list.

  • We're looking at the most heated, integral and surreal moments revolving around the attorneys involved in the depth ve heard trial, which depth?

  • Ve heard lawyer would you want on your legal team let us know in the comments number 10 dismissing a dismissal after 13 days.

  • Depp's attorneys rested their case on may 3rd 2022 although the trial was far from over one of heard's attorneys jay Benjamin Rotten Born asked Judge Penny as karate to dismiss the case right then and there.

  • Rotten Born argued that Depp's legal team hadn't presented quote clear and convincing evidence.

  • He also claimed that Depp was the aggressor in the relationship and that the plaintiff couldn't quote prove misheard acted with actual malice.

  • The undisputed evidence is that Mr Depp did commit abuse against misheard.

  • Benjamin Chew, one of Depp's attorneys countered that they had provided credible witnesses and substantial evidence that heard was the aggressor as karate ultimately denied Heard's motion to strike, finding that there was enough evidence to move forward.

  • The weight of that evidence is up to the fact finder.

  • So the motion to strike is denied the first defense witness and heard herself would take the stand shortly after and I'm going to take an advisement because ruling out now it would be premature.

  • Number nine, not wasting anyone's time.

  • During a cross examination, Rotten Born asked Depp about a message that he sent to Elton john in which the actor thanked the english singer for helping him with his sobriety.

  • When Depp proceeded to continue talking about john sobriety and their friendship, Rotten Born asked if they could move on on the grounds that Depp was providing unnecessary background information.

  • I appreciate that.

  • My only question was just to confirm that you had sent that message to Ellen john, nothing else.

  • Depp said that he would stop talking, but he seemed to grow more frustrated when Rotten Born implied that he was wasting the court's time.

  • I just said, I want to be respectful of the court's time in the jury's time and I trust that you do too, so I don't feel like I'm wasting anyone's time.

  • While Rotten Born maintained a no nonsense demeanor.

  • For the most part, even he had a hard time not laughing when Depp made a crack about giving Marilyn Manson a pill, I once gave Marilyn Manson a pill so that he would stop talking so much.

  • Number eight.

  • Richard Marx loses patience on the stand.

  • Entertainment lawyer.

  • Richard Marx discussed in his words, the quote devastating effect that herds op ed had on Depp's career being cross examined by one of heard's lawyers.

  • Adam natal Haft Marks was questioned about a series of articles that criticized depth before the op EDS publication.

  • If that's what it said, it said, are you just going to keep reading it While Mark's acknowledged that negative press against Depp had existed, he didn't recall the specific articles that natal have listed, not even the one concerning depths comments about donald trump.

  • And you would agree that before the op ed there was a negative publicity for mister Depp about assassinating president trump.

  • Would you agree?

  • No, I missed that one.

  • As natal have continued to read article headlines, Marks began cracking jokes.

  • Even referencing Netflix is a joke.

  • Eventually they would get back to discussing the op ed.

  • You agree that there was another article in 2015 that says quote, has johnny Depp become Hollywood's biggest joke?

  • I don't know.

  • Netflix has a whole festival going now.

  • Netflix is a joke.

  • Number seven Read that again.

  • Many trials can feel repetitive and despite the serious questioning he's faced.

  • Depp has chosen to make light of the monotony with Depp on the stand.

  • Rotten Born relayed a 2013 text conversation between the former couple.

  • After reading each text aloud.

  • Rotten Born asked if he was reading the messages correctly.

  • The first couple of times, depth simply concurred, she writes, thank you for mine.

  • I read that right.

  • The series of texts culminated with Depp writing something disturbing about herds throat after Rotten Born read this particular text twice Depp asked him to read it yet again, Igniting laughter from part of the courtroom despite the implications of the text exchange.

  • Did you read that again?

  • Depp was likely mocking Rotten Born as he subsequently confirmed that the attorney had read the text correctly.

  • I read that right, correct.

  • You did number six.

  • Heard watched it during her second day on the stand heard recalled an alleged incident where Depp didn't come home one day, he didn't come home uh and I was worried sick.

  • She claimed that he was in a hotel room with paul Bettany and had to be carried home in the middle of this testimony, Camille Vasquez, one of Depp's lawyers objected.

  • Heard's lawyer.

  • Alain Brinkerhoff instructed her client to proceed.

  • Heard got in only a few more words before Vazquez objected again, before Brinkerhoff could finish asking her questions.

  • Heard bluntly interjected, quote, I watched it, objection hearsay.

  • Did you see that I watched it?

  • This exchange is similar to another moment when heard reflected on an engagement party.

  • Once again Vasquez objected, Brinkerhoff and heard talked at the same time and heard said I watched it, I was there, I watched it number five.

  • Elaine britta Hoff's johnny Depp impression, johnny Depp has a distinctive voice that's not hard to imitate.

  • Even Elaine Brinkerhoff can do a dep impersonation whether it's a good impression is up for debate, but it definitely made for one of the defense team's most amusing moments questioning, heard Brinkerhoff quoted an audiotape of depth in the actor's voice.

  • Deb said, you will not see my eyes again.

  • It's unclear if Brinkerhoff intended to mimic depth or if listening to the actors testimony for weeks on end, rubbed off on her subconsciously.

  • Either way, Depp couldn't hold back a smirk upon hearing better hoffs impression of him, Brinkerhoff subsequently repeated part of the quote, although she used her regular voice this time.

  • Please tell the jury about the next meeting after he said, you will not see my eyes again.

  • Number four adam natal half objects to himself.

  • Sometimes attorneys don't get the answers they're looking for.

  • Such was the case.

  • During adam natal halves.

  • Cross examination of Ben King Depp's former House manager natal have began a line of questioning discussing what King had been told about the cause of the damage to depths hand back in 2015.

  • And isn't it true that in the entire time you were there, you're not informed as to what caused damage to Mr Depp's hand.

  • When King started to say that the doctor had informed him about Depp's finger injury, needle half interjected with two words.

  • We've heard a lot throughout this trial objection and hearsay as familiar as those legal terms have become natal.

  • Have shook things up by objecting to his own question.

  • Yes, your honor.

  • We do have an objection.

  • I believe this is a recording that has the voices of people other than.

  • Misheard and Mr Depp and on that basis, Judge as karate didn't let this go unnoticed.

  • While Benjamin chew whispered something to depth, natal have continued but still didn't get the answers that he probably wanted.

  • But you don't know what, you don't know how his finger was injured.

  • I don't think anybody mentioned it to me at that time.

  • Number three most bizarre deposition ever of all the witnesses who have testified during this trial, Alejandro Romero stands out for a few reasons.

  • The front desk employee who worked at the building where Depp lived with heard Romero prerecorded his deposition from a car while vaping.

  • So the incident was May 21st 2000 and 16.

  • Whether he was in a rush or simply didn't give a hoot Romero started driving away before his deposition wrapped up.

  • Yes, I'm not going to say no, because she was really always nice.

  • Alright, alright, this is my last question.

  • After watching the video, everyone had the same thought, but Elaine Brinkerhoff was among the first to say it aloud.

  • The two legal teams happened to agreed on much, which is kind of the whole idea of court.

  • However, everyone can agree that bizarre is an accurate description of Romero's deposition.

  • That was the first, I'm sorry, I will say that is the most bizarre.

  • Okay.

  • Number two objection, hearsay.

  • If you weren't familiar with objection or hearsay before you'll know them by the end of this trial.

  • While far from uncommon legal phrases, you could make a drinking game out of how many times they've been said throughout depth be heard, it's hard to say whose testimony ignited the most objections, but Camille Vasquez certainly used the phrase a lot when heard took the stand objection hearsay during the testimony of Jack Wiggum.

  • Depp's agent objections could be heard from both sides, although Benjamin choose cross examination of Wickham wasn't long.

  • Elaine Brinkerhoff still interjected multiple objections.

  • I'll sustain the objection.

  • I'll sustain the objection.

  • Next question.

  • In one instance, depth actually turned the tables using what he described as Rotten Borns quote favorite word.

  • This is Here's june 21st 2000 and 18.

  • At one point, Vasquez question heard about the $7 million divorce settlement that she pledged to charity as heard began to respond Vasquez firmly and as quote, respectfully as possible, noted that she wasn't answering the question asked and continued until she received the answer she was looking for.
