I don't think I've followed a trial where a judge takes a week off. This gives the Heard team a week to prepare for the witnesses to testify.
Oh, they've already been prepping, lol - I just got through most of their psychiatric expert's testimony, stopping at their 4:55 mark, where the expert has just finished tolling off in order, every one of the JD texts we have already in evidence as things that "Amber Heard [purportedly] told her about": Stephen Deuters as to the "admitted kick" on the plane; Paul Bettany as to the "how wasted I, JD, was on the plane"; Patti Smith, and one other person; after which expert innocently (IMO, "and clearly") lied "oh, and those are the only ones that I RECALL right now..."
there was no "recall"! Clearly that lady was drilled; and clearly, IMO, we can expect no less fluidity from Amber vis-a-vis the extremely scanty info we have, considering that by now Amber has had years to con these half-dozen texts and dozen emails into memory; and they certainly aren't long enough texts as to pose a trained actress's memory.
I also disliked the sound of all the evaluatory questionnaires the "expert" mentioned AH as passing (completely neutrally with flying colors of course), as every one of them which we got to, she was vague on methodology. Paraphrase:
"I was able to figure out on X test, whether or not Ms. Heard was talking about trauma from her childhood or then-current trauma from Mr. Depp"... well, how?!?
Were these questions to which AH could, and did, precede the answers with "Johnny did/said" and "my father used to"? Because there's no trick there... that's doing so much "self-selecting" as to be useless for psychiatric evaluation, IMO.
The only test where I had any remote faith in the results of the veracity, was the one the Heard expert described as containing 340 questions; and even so, I would have rather had a suggestion of the type of questions there before I committed to my decision, which as of the time I turned the TV off, there were none.
