Yeah if anyone saw her previous deposition will know why putting her on the stand will be a disaster for any lawyer.

What are the chances of her lawyers being fired today?
Zero! The dismissal hearing is customary after the Plaintiff side rest. Then the Defendant has a choice to call for a dismissal, which they did. It was a weak augment and the Plaintiff had a great rebuttal for the dismissal.

The Judge seem to have been reading from a prepared statement in anticipation of a dismissal hearing. Which she ruled to deny the dismissal.

So the trial continues with the Defense comes up after lunch. Possibly Amber Heard testifying next.

How can the jury even process what is said when every sentence is interrupted by "HERSAY" or similar shit. Let the person speak, then tell the court you tihink its Hersay - don't scream it out like a blue balled teen. Holy shit. Is this how it works in US justice? You can manipulate the narrative by screaming real loud?
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT! HEARSAY!

is a jury verdict supposed to be unanimous?
for criminal trials 99% of the time yes, there are a few states with some exceptions.

for civil cases, about a 1/3rd of States allow for a majority vote.

for California:
The instructions for a California civil jury generally differ from those given to a criminal jury. A jury for the California Superior civil court contains 12 jurors. For a conviction to be made, at least nine members of the jury must be in agreement on the verdict.

Unfortunately, TV/movies grossly misrepresents what actually happens in real court trials. I was fortunate to have been a Juror for a Breaking and Entering trial.

Hearsay is a big issue that gets many objections from what I recall too, but they objections for that in this case is a lot.

For every US citizen and especially here on Gaf, please don’t skimp out on Jury Duty and take it seriously. You will have a great understanding and hopefully respect how the proceedings go.

It certain gave me confidence in our Justice system. I think it’s a great system.

Not many of us can't afford to go 6 weeks or more unpaid.......that's why I had to get out of mine.

Yea, sorry! That’s understandable. I should’ve mention disclaimers. During the Jury process we had quite many who could not participate due to family, disabilities and various hardships.

Edit: My pay for the 6 day trial was only $12 a day, which kinda sucks. But I was fortunately my company still paid me in full on top of the $12 of those 6 days.

Whoa this woman is talking nonsense, men being physically bigger and stronger, and weight classes
She's gonna get cancelled if she keeps up with these so called "facts"
 
Holy fuck. Did this expert just downplay violence female to male because males are stronger/bigger?

Edit: I..................can't believe what I'm watching/listening to......the gender bias, seems over the top.

They also playing the sexual abuse angle too. But everything she’s talking about I still seeing Amber when she talks. Going to tough as a Juror to think of Johnny after 3 weeks. We will see on cross!!

That's why I want him to win this case, the bias is so skewed. "A woman says" is immediately fact and the man is always in the wrong.

How has this lady not gotten kicked off the stand and constantly objected. She hasn't said one thing about the case.

I can only hope they plan on destroying her in cross.......this shit she's spewing is insane. It's not difficult to use the terms "victim" and "abuser" in non-gendered terms because abuse goes both ways. She is literally droning on about how men abuse women.

She's literally an abuser herself for making the court and all of us listen to this one sided nonsense. Wow woman only do reactive violence apparently. She made him hit her because he's a fat, old, drug addict and he made me defensive and abusive.

I genuinely cannot believe they opened with this witness. Like........I'm shocked. She was going through all her qualifications and I'm like "Wow she seems legit, this could be an interesting and substantial defense".

Then she gave her testimony.
Maybe they're banking on some crazy thots in the jury to side with that shit. Many are out there that do. I would think even more so in CA.

Isn't this taking place in VA? Point taken though.
You're right, it is. If the DMZ area, then the point definitely stands, lol.

Then she'll have the waterworks ace up her sleeve. Waiting on that moment.

Really that woman is like watching this:

Also, she keeps reading a script, along with her arms crossed. It seems only woman can have domestic violence....
 
I imagine Dr. Curry will have to be recalled now......this witness basically says Dr. Curry didn't do the test/read the results correctly.

I can only imagine they are just letting the defense blow their load, similar to the drugs they were pushing so hard during Depp's portion of the trial. Eventually the jury just becomes numb to it or it just isn't credible given the sheer volume of accusations and number of witnesses that should have seen something.

She’s literally testifying for Amber Heard, this is all hearsay. How is this allowed, some of this stuff is not evidence yet.

You let her spew all this shit under oath and then Johnny's team comes in and wrecks her after asking for facts and proof of all these claims.
