They reflect on the final two of Depp’s witnesses who we heard today; the second half of Nurse Erin Falati testimony  - Amber and Johnny’s nurse, and finally Michael Spindler - a forensic accountant who argues Johnny lost earnings of $40 million after Amber’s article. Later, the time came for Amber Heard’s witnesses to finally take to the stage and we kicked off with Dr Dawn Hughes - a forensic psychologist who came to a very different conclusion about Ms Heard’s mental state to that of Depp’s psychologist.
Nick also chatted to John Davis, a semi-retired lawyer and member of the Men’s Rights movement. The pair discussed John’s alternative take on gender based violence.

Today we had 3 witnesses in court; Tara Roberts - Depp’s island estate manager who recalled tales of a passed out Johnny Depp and arguments between the couple, Dr Shannon Curry - a forensic psychologist hired by Johnny Depp who gave a rather damning diagnosis of Amber Heard’s mental state, and finally Officer Saenz of the LA PD - she responded to a call at Depp’s residence after an argument between the couple but reported she saw no signs of injury on Heard.
