Don't forget that Camille was intentionally being combative to help bring out Heard's real personality. It definitely worked.

I watched the trial at the time. Revisiting it so many months later, it is still a joy to watch Camille work. What a pro!

Ambers lawyer objecting to his own question was one of the funniest moments I'm justice system history.. 😂

It’s kinda scary when I hear Camille say “Let’s refresh your recollection”. If I’m ever on the opposite side and she says that I’m confessing to my entire browsing history. She probably already knows it anyways.

Its actually insulting to every person that’s watched this trial,she must think we’re all f-caking stupid,

I’ve noticed that Camille keeps up a fast pace - it means Amber has to make up lies really quickly and inevitably she’s going to trip herself up cos she doesn’t have time to think them through. It puts Camille under pressure too cos she has to be able to deal quickly with Ambers deflections, spot the contradictions and point them out clearly. So in a way it’s a battle of wits - who’s faster to the punch and who’s smarter…

The smugness on her face when she tries to act intelligent stating "if you remove the metadata". The way she stares and smiles at the jury when she says it makes me cringe. She actually thinks she's smarter than Camille

"What actual survivor of domestic violence wants that?" A moment of accidental honesty from Amber. She knows she's not an actual victim and that an actual victim would act nothing like her.

“That’s why I wrote the op-Ed.” I thought she testified that the op-Ed was not written about Johnny Depp and now suddenly it is.

There were multiple fuckups from Amber during this trial. My top 10 would be: - "Bruise kit" that didn't exist until 2017 - Overdramatic performance on direct exam (my dog stepped on a bee) - Claiming that identical photos with different saturation were taken separately - "I use pledged and donated synonymously" - Referring to Kate Moss rumor - Claiming that she only attacked Johnny in self defense seconds after playing audio with her saying: "I did start a physical fight" - Two black eyes, split lip and a broken nose on Corden show - Claiming she didn't notify TMZ after playing video from 2016 with her saying that "TMZ was alerted" - Admitting that op-ed was about Johnny - "I'm not sitting in this courtroom laughing, smiling, making snide jokes" saying the day after everyone saw her in the courtroom doing exactly that.

It's extremely hard not to be a bit in awe of how Camille handled herself throughout this entire trial. She was absolutely prepared well before stepping into the courtroom on day 1, and it was obvious.

This lying, aggressive, abusive, sarcastic, and mean temperament on display is the real Amber Heard. Imagine living with this woman even for one day. Depp is a Saint.

Love the way Camille just walked away at the end. She wasn’t listening to any more of Amber’s self snitching.

She said “what actual survivor of domestic abuse wants that?” EXACTLY! An ACTUAL survivor wouldn’t. But she’s not an ACTUAL survivor.

“Miss Heard, There’s no question pending” ~Miss Vasquez

Starting at 31:17 is Camille’s superb finale. Here we get numerous dramatic moments where Amber’s testimony was impeached. Getting Amber to admit that she wrote the op-ed and that it was indeed about Johnny was a Perry Mason moment. I loved how Camille closed her binder and told the judge she had no further questions while Amber was still sputtering her response to seeing Johnny’s friend, Isaac Baruch, weep in the stand when recalling how destructive her actions were. That is where art meets real life. Bravo, Camille. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

You’re absolutely right. If Ben Chew was hammering on her like that, she’d have a whole different demeanor and act like a bullied little damsel in distress, and then claim to be badgered by yet another man. We needed Camille to expose her bullshit on this and she did a good job.

Camille’s career as an attorney is undoubtably going to be SO successful after this trial! And is obviously well deserved!

I never believed her (plenty of tapes and photos were out even before the trial) but I know one thing: if she were saying the truth and all of those witnesses truly did lie to side with Johnny, she would’ve broke down crying because of the insufferable injustice and despair she'd be feeling (as actual victims do), not getting snarky and argumentative on stand

Camille went SO HARD in this cross. It was like watching Picasso paint.

The social dynamics is that Camille sounds like she's tearing down a mean girl's lies and not letting her make excuses or manipulate others.

"What actual survivor of domestic abuse wants that?" Exactly, Amber.

The term pathological liar is thrown out a lot, but she truly is the definition and living embodiment of that condition.

26:22 "No, I didn't ask you about anything." Pure gold reply.

the overwhelming evidence against her and there's still ppl on HER side blows my mind

Did she just manipulatively claim she cried on the stand? She didn't shed a single tear. The gaslighting is immense.

35:00 what I think the most brilliant thing though that Camille did here wasn't just to frustrate AH to the point where she admits to writing the Op Ed about JD, it's that she doesn't react to it. The previous times AH was caught in a trap, Camille called the juries attention to it, however if she called attention to this, AH might back out of it and say something like "I meant the type of person he is, the abusers that people like me have to face." By not mentioning it, and trusting that the jury heard and understood what she just said Camille doesn't allow AH the opportunity to back out. One of AHs strongest points was that she didn't mention JD by name in the article. And it got shattered. I believe that it was a key moment in JDs victory.

The most brilliant move Camille made was the pause after Amber admitted that the op-ed was about Johnny. It was the most beautiful moment of cross examination of a sociopath I've ever seen. Pausing, gave the whole world that moment of shock without giving Amber a chance to gaslight everyone about what she just said. And you could hear a pin drop across the world. Justice was coming. Finally. In a world of injustice and lies, truth was exposed. And Amber felt the earth move, but because Camille didn't tell her what she had just done, she went ahead feeling a bit confused, but not knowing what happened. Until it was too late. It sat there too long as truth. Like concrete, it set. And it was over.

When you see celebrities out (granted AH is no celeb), their faces are down, hair covering faces or faces blocked. In the TMZ video/pics, her hair is tucked behind her ear, face up and she keeps moving her head to the left to expose the right side. She totally set it up. She thinks we are all stupid.

The fact that she literally can’t concede to anything even when the truth is obvious is super annoying.

“Everyone is full of shit except for me, can’t you see that?” 😂💀

Her constant looking at the lawyer to take the question, and then looking away from the lawyer and at the jury makes her look really manipulative.

I just love how Camille ended that "After what you have put him through and so many others with your lies" That was just a beautiful note to end on after dismantling her

Her attorneys didn't call witnesses because there weren't any. Then she admits the reason she wrote the article because she knew people would come out on Johnny's behalf. She "effectively" admitted to doing what she is being sued for, by admitting her reason for writing it. I hope the jury can see through it all.

I would have felt so uncomfortable as a juror with her constantly looking at me as she answers questions

This never gets old. It’s watching the train crash in slow motion. It’s telling that not one person, other than her lying sister, testified on her behalf about anything.

I love how Camille points out that Amber and her legal team effectively committed perjury by submitting duplicate photographs for evidence which they testified depicted two separate incidents. Then Amber has the balls to accuse Camille of "hiding the metadata." It's so asinine that the judge literally tells her "That's how it was submitted into evidence." It kind of baffles me how insanely inept Amber and her Lawyers are, if the judge were to hand down summary judgement in favor of Depp at that point I don't think anyone would blame her.

Amber’s gaslighting and stalling tactics that try to confuse Camille shows just how manipulative Amber is. This testimony is so telling. Amber looking at the jury the way she does is so manipulative. If i was a juror it would make me uncomfortable.

That page flip she does to end the cross examination was awesome 😂

We need more lawyers like Camille. She can destroy an abusive woman like no man could. A woman destroying another woman like that… hypnotizing.

Its so funny that she says everyone's lying when these people have absolutely nothing to gain but jail time for lying😂

The way she goes from "I didn't recognise that man", immediately to "How would he know? He wasn't there." says everything that needs to be said about Amber. When one little push doesn't work, she goes for a big one and gets very defensive.

Not only did her hair distract me, but also the way she answered her questions AT the jury. I’ve been on a jury before, and the plaintiff always spoke to the person asking the questions. It had to be uncomfortable for the jurors since she kept trying to make eye contact with them. Her stalling every time she had to find a page was super obvious. It was really great to see her look right at, and answer Camille (to her face,) once the claws came out. That’s when Amber showed who she really is. And that anger was palpable! Once she got angry, she started to slip up - like admitting TWICE that she wrote the op-ed about Johnny. Camille tripped her and it was fantastic to watch.

She could’ve easily lost this trial just by answering every question by looking at the jury. Seriously, she came off so smug and self-assured by doing that. Why didn’t her lawyers tell her how bad that made her look? If I was on that jury I’d be like, stop looking at me already!!!!!

Amber is full of aggression and arrogance and is never in the wrong! I'd imagine being married to someone like this is a complete nightmare!

I studied criminology in university and would always get bored half to death watching any court proceedings, but watching Johnny’s and Amber’s attorneys somehow made it fun. You can see the clear distinction between minimally meeting expectations and excellence.

A good tip I learned during this trial : you can lie and commit perjury and nobody cares about it. When you testify under oath, you can cross your fingers in your pocket and then tell whatever suits you and you won't receive any penalty.

Now audio has been released of Amber telling Johnny the reason she started all these absurd lies is that she was afraid she would be evicted from the penthouse.

Camille and Ben Chew in closing arguments were fantastic. I wasn't sure if JD will win this, but the story and the trial had such powerful effect I really think JD already won and jury decision doesn't matter.

" I'm a public figure" Yeah, Ok, no one even knew who you were before this trial.

I really feel sorry for her child. What a terrible person

She is basically arguing WITH the jury and making smug gestures AT the jury. This is lost on her. She is so concerned about looking at them that she isn't realizing her demeanor is going towards them.

Morgan Tremaine of TMZ was devastating, He said things every person can understand and tied together Amber's character and the accusations against Johnny when he talked of the video sent to the TMZ drop box featuring Johnny. Mr Tremaine said that it was online in 15v minutes and that this would never happen unless a principal provided it. Then Mr Tremaine said TMZ was tipped Amber would be at a courthouse getting a restraining order and a good pic would be found of her face. Then TMZ was tipped Amber would be at a lawyer's office for a deposition. Why would Johnny or his people tip TMZ about restraining order against him? It makes zero sense! It's obvious Johnny was not doing the tipping to TMZ. Morgan Tremaine is that witness that everyone can understand and he really made it clear JD was getting worked over big time.

Why on earth would amber and her lawyers think using the same pictures for different supposed incidences would not get noticed by anyone? Wtf

I think Bruce is right. Amber defeated herself, not only by her lies but also by her snarky answers. I've sat on criminal juries. Amber is simply not a witness that jurors could sympathize with.

She says “I don’t know who that man was…” then two minutes later she says “He testified to only a light fixture being broken, just like his security guard sumed up my closet being rearranged…” lady you just said you didn’t know him!!!

It really surprises me that she didn’t break down during this. If I had a lawyer hammer into me that way, trying to make me out to be a liar and my story untrue, I would start crying. If any of this was true and people were lying she would have some kind of emotional reaction. Flinching, shaking her head, bowing her head down, tears. She sat the entire time while these people supposedly lied on the stand with no reaction. Just stone faced or a smirk. And all she did this time was argue and get frustrated. Come on, she honestly wants us to believe she is a victim?

"If I were Heard's lawyers, I'd've told her to give short, succinct answers." Yeah. The problem is that she's uncontrollable. She just keeps going, and going, and going. She couldn't care less that she's in a courtroom under oath, or in a penthouse chasing Johnny around, or in Sea-Tac Int'l Airport with Tasya Vanree.

If someone was trying to show I’m lying in front of the whole world and I was legitimately scared and hurt, even though it’s the lawyers job, and I get that, I would be in tears from fear and frustration. The fact she just argues and argues is not genuine

I’ve watched this a few times and Camille exposes her lies, duplicity and cruel narcissist intent! Vile woman!

Camille was the most aggressive and hard hitting compared to her male counterpart team. She was the gem of Depp’s team. It’s great to watch a well prepared lawyer do her job so well.

This was masterful, Camille was pushing AH to get so worked up that she would blurt something out in her anger and she did! She admitted that she could have done a lot more damage by leaking videos but she didn’t, AFTER she claimed that she didn’t know how to leak things. That’s a “gotcha.”

We found out through the transcripts released WITH the sidebars that someone about 3 rows behind defendant counsel had snickered after AH was busted using the same picture for two different "incidents." Rottenborn complained about it on the bench approach, and, class act that Camille is, she agreed. And so the judge admonished the gallery. It's a very interesting moment, esp bc the camera pans to the gallery right when it happens.

Not only would she have to tip off TMZ of what she was doing, but the ex tmz employee said they were the specifically for the purpose of catching her walking out & then she wouldmake sure to turn in a way to showcase the mark on her face so they could catch that too. And sure as shit that's exactly how it went

Having Camille Vasquez cross examine Amber Heard is like watching _"The Revenge of the Smart Girls Against the Mean Girls."_

I like the way Camille's questions end with "Didn't you?" "Weren't you?" "Isn't that correct?" 😂

When Camille started cross I was quite impressed with the setup she performed to allow the jury to see through the lies and over acting being performed. 🔥

She will never take responsibility for what she did. It will always be about her being a victim, it will always be everybody else's fault. It will always be "everybody's lying but me."

12:00 "Absolutely not, what *actual* survivor of domestic violence wants that?" I like how she just implied that she's not an actual survivor of domestic violence.

I can't believe she dismissed Kate Moss as being someone "from the 90s" "coming out of the woodwork," as if Kate Moss is some old, washed up nobody. Girl, Kate Moss is only 12 years older than you and had achieved more fame by her teens than you have in your whole 20 year career!

Her makeup claims make me sick. Does she really think the jury is that stupid? I mean come on! She was never hit, or sexually assaulted.

The scary thing is, people like AH are everywhere. I’ve dealt with this personality type many times before. Some people are masterful, convincing liars who will have you fooled for years. They really do start to believe their own lies…terrifying.

Crazy how she went from emotional when her team was asking questions to argumentative when Depps team started.

"let's see if we can refresh your recollection" 😂 I love Camille. She's a beast!

She can’t just answer a question lol She always turns it around.

Camille was a legend this whole trial! Did you see the time she objected to Elaines (female lawyer for Amber) follow up questioning of Amber? Camille destroyed!

I find it hilarious how Amber is very defensive the whole time while being cross examined..but the 2nd her lawyers get up and ask her questions..her whole demeanor changes instantly and acts emotional and fake cries..if your a true victim of abuse..you would be crying real tears no matter who was questioning you..because u are forced to recount traumatic events that were so horrifying to u..I hope the jury picked up on this

Thank you for getting that she screwed up and admitted not only that she wrote the op ed, but why she wrote the op ed! None of the other lawyers I watch got the importance of that.

A Narcissist moves so fast with lies and causes so much damage, it's hard to keep up. BRAVO to Johnny's team! I've lived this kind of experience. This is a beautiful thing to see!

I love you keep mentioning the social dynamics of Camille being up there instead of a man. This helps Johnny because Amber can't say anything about being questioned from a man in a trial about abuse and all, she could easily spin that into a narrative that fits her and people would run with it

That little snarl when she talks about bringing her publicist with her ' in case ' was a real flash of 2016 Amber deposition.

"I'm supposed to recognize a picture of some spilled wine on the floor? That's not how that works.." um, excuse me? This is your evidence that you submitted. You considered this so important that you meticulously photographed it at the time and saved it for almost 5 years to be used as evidence in a court trial. You testified to how traumatizing it was to deal the this "drugged up monster" version of your husband that you've accused of r*ping you with a bottle. This is serious shit, you can't claim that this is evidence in your 100 million dollar defamation trial, and completely dismiss the fact that you claimed the same photo is from two different events 6 months apart. It's your responsibility to know exactly what this photo is from, if you can't then don't submit it into evidence. We're supposed to take you seriously when you have a complete disregard for your own enormously contradictory evidence, and WTF WERE HER TEAM OF LAWYERS DOING WHEN THEY SUBMITTED THE SAME PHOTO AS EVIDENCE IN 2 DIFFERENT INCIDENTS?!? Can't stress how pitiful this whole thing is.

I appreciate the time you took to explain the narratives for the people who are unable to fully comprehend the judicial meanings and process.

Having Camille cross examine was genius! If the man would have done it amber could have started crying and timid but with Camille she is getting snappy and angry

Retired court transcriber here...having daily transcripts means that there's a team of transcribers working throughout the day and late at night to publish them. The lawyers and their teams would have spent many hours combing through, discussing and organizing the exhibits. Exhausting all around but we can see the results here.

As someone who has had to go through family court with someone *JUST FUCKING LIKE HER*, it's the most satisfying thing to see her get exposed and trapped in her own lies... women like her honestly believe that they are the smartest people in the room, and that she can lie and charm their way out of the box they find themselves in. Always the victim** never the perpetrator, and they typically get away with this kind of shit. She never* thought johnny would take it this far, but again, forethought isn't her strong suit. Depp isn't even interested in the money, he knows he won't ever get it. It's clearing his name and showing that she is absolutely fucking nuts and exposing her for what she is.

It was definitely a good strategy to have a female lawyer confronting AH, optics-wise. For one, as you said, it looked like a "fair fight," so to speak, so people subconsciously would be less likely to see AH as a "victim" of lawyerly badgering, as they might if it were a male lawyer. Furthermore, I think that it was important to have a female lawyer *defending Johnny* because of the allegations. To show that this woman believed him and was vehement in her pursuit of justice on his behalf. That makes a powerful impact as well.

Camille makes me want to fulfill my childhood dream of become a lawyer.

"Everyone But Me is a Liar: The Amber Heard Guide to Legal Defense"

The way Heard acts, even when she´s caught in a lie, is so typical for a person with borderline and/or narsacistic disorder!

It's just so weird the way Amber looks at Johnny's attorney while she's talking, then answers while looking at the jury. It seems so contrived.

What we have learnt from this trial are two bullet points: 1) Domestic abuse has no gender. The way media tries to portray all men as tyrannical aggressor and all women as weak victim has to be addressed with serious attention; 2) True women empowerment is all about competence and ambition, as a matter of fact, the word "Empowerment" has no social or institutional class.

It’s funny how Rottenborn’s closing arguments basically kept calling the jury ignorant by insinuating they wouldn’t be using proper common sense if they didn’t find in favor of Heard. 😂

She’s convinced herself that she’s correct on everything.

This man is incredible. Explaining courtroom questions and answers perfectly for me. Amazing.

Stop looking at the jury! I've done jury duty three times (unfortunately) and this is a big no no to us. Unless they ask you to face the jury which is 1/10 times this will happen. She thinks we're all chumps.

Ambers comment saying “what actual domestic violence survivor does that” sums up everything. It’s because she is not a survivor. She generalized and tried to smoke and mirror her comment.

Camille was setting her up for the closing. and the process is a masterpiece

I really wish Camille had had the presence of mind to press Amber when she said, "that's why I wrote the op-ed" in reference to Johnny Depp's power. It's all over now, so it's irrelevant, but I missed that detail when I watched the testimony live. It would've been so powerful to hear Camille say something like, "so is it now your testimony that that op-ed IS about Mr. Depp?" Boom. Case closed. Turn out the lights.

that female lawyer is brutal. Well done she is brilliant.
