I cringe when the public says "How can they take that blood money…". Without someone taking this up, would there be ANY money? probably not. $5M for that case – I don't see that as unreasonable. What I don't understand is how the hell there's $16M in COSTS? Did the law firm create it's own legal services company and subcontract to that company with high prices to pay their attorneys to provide those services, or was it legitimately a third-party expense? They can't bill their own attorney's work or staff's work as 'expenses'. That should be covered by their legal fees. If we could get contingency cases for 30% of the settlement PLUS reimbursement for our attorney's and staff's hours that'd be awesome for those of us in PI.
Was this an Aron Ford referral to Eglet? If so,nothing to see here

No more evidence or testimony in Depp v. Heard. Predictions on how jury SHOULD decide based on evidence and testimony? Predictions on how jury WILL ACTUALLY decide?
I watched almost the entire trial playing it while working at home. Depp's legal team destroyed Heard's. Amber fake cried with no tears. Depp was convincing. My prediction full $50 million for Depp and Amber takes nothing except credit for all the Amber Turd memes out there.
Heard has demonized during this whole trial by media and online. I think they both suck. He is gross. But no talks about his clothes or not brushing his hair
2:41 the only comments I have seen about her appearance concern her curated costume of school marm outfits and hairdos, which is not her usual style and appears contrived just for the trial.

@12:47 I'm genuinely interested in why you say that. Not trolling…I'm female, feminist, etc. During undergrad I worked at a women's center. As an attorney, I find the idea that we have to believe every accusation by a woman chilling. I do think Heard is a liar and a gold digger. Part of me is also amused that Depp married a chick who is young enough to be his child and this was the result. I don't think either of them are up for citizen of the year, but why are the attacks on her sexist?
2:36, you made a decent point then lost all your credibility by saying Depp is unwashed. What a odd thing to say that adds nothing of substance, and not even true.
2:25 why are you so prejudiced against the age difference i.e., age-phobic and ageistic, we live in a society (whether right or wrong) where people can love who they want – same sex, no sex, spectrum genders, etc. and you judge the age difference? Be consistent, let people of different ages love each other without judgement. I would also note that many men are attracted to younger women. Look at how often men that can (the good-looking, rich, powerful, etc.) are the men that do (have younger girlfriends).
Men chasing women young enough to be their biological daughters clearly lack confidence and are seeking reassurance. They want someone they can manipulate. It's gross. And if a man does insist on messing around with a woman young enough to be his child, he shouldn't go getting his tighty whities in a wad when the immaturity and crazy comes out.
Men chasing women (who are of age) who are their daughters' age do not lack confidence any more than saying men who are 50 but you can still play sports against men who are the age of their sons do not lack confidence. If you can still play the game at the highest levels, you do. It is not about manipulation; it is about performance.
6:00 no one said that, what was said is that if live and let live is the ideal in American love (e.g., same sex, trans, etc.) then leave people alone about age differences.
"Play the game at the highest levels…" translates to get young hot chicks instead of having to settle for an old one, so yeah, that's what was said. It's such a cliche. Depp dumped the older mother of his children for a young hot chick who, it turned out, was just seeking his money and fame. That's fine, do whatever you want, but don't be surprised when this is the outcome. (I'm team Johnny, by the way.)
@7:49 Of course it is about money, power, prestige, connections. Those are bargaining chips in the same way that looks are bargaining chips. But there is no manipulation; everyone at the table knows the nature of the game. And if he/you/whomever can land the prize sow because they have the tools, more power to you. That is game and performance pure and simple.
@420 says:
"And if a man does insist on messing around with a woman young enough to be his child, he shouldn't go getting his tighty whities in a wad when the immaturity and crazy comes out".
So a younger man gets with a much older woman, attacks her physically on the regular and shits on her bed. Would you be saying the same thing?
These things are immature and crazy because she is a woman?
The Doug stories are starting to fly tonight in my DMs. I had no idea so many other people had experiences with him that were this bad and patently violative.
7:51 I bet you are the opposing counsel whose complaint Dorsey dismissed while patiently explaining to you exactly what any first year law student would have known needed to be in your complaint for it not to be dismissed, then filed an amended complaint correcting none of the glaring deficiencies. Mean ole Judge Dorsey!

My guess? Expert witnesses and ESI on a case like that would be enormous.
Man. The Tow Truck Driver kickbacks have to be MASSIVE on this case!
The article says there were >15 million pages of documents. Shit takes time to go through, process, and redact.
Quick back of napkin math:
Doc reviewer reviews 200 pages/hour (stop laughing, 60pg/hr ID FBUs). For 15 million pages, that's 75,000 *hours* to review.
75,000 hours x $100/hr = $7.5 million in costs
Add in the costs of scanning/copying that many pages. 10cents/page gets you $1.5 million in costs.
Maybe I need to open an e-discovery firm…

We find for Mr. Depp on his first party claims and award $1. We find for Ms. Heard on her Counterclaim and award her $1.
I find Mr. Depp more credible. I would award him $2.00 and Ms. Heard $1.00.
Not sure who is going to win, but I agree that damages will be in the $1-2 range
I watched almost the entire trial playing it while working at home. Depp's legal team destroyed Heard's. Amber fake cried with no tears. Depp was convincing. My prediction full $50 million for Depp and Amber takes nothing except credit for all the Amber Turd memes out there.
Both stoner losers. The attacks on Heard are sexist
Can you imagine being remembered for pooing in someone's bed. That's probably the nicest thing I've ever done but the world doesn't know.
Why are the attacks on Heard sexist, but the attacks on Depp are not? I've seen most of the trial and the attacks on Heard are more than justified.
Heard has demonized during this whole trial by media and online. I think they both suck. He is gross. But no talks about his clothes or not brushing his hair

If you support her,you are trolled online. The attacks on her baby,clothes,hair. Not the same being done to the unwashed Johnny Depp

Did not say anything about age. You want to rob the cradle, go for it
3:27 "Part of me is also amused that Depp married a chick who is young enough to be his child and this was the result" – this is not about age?
Depp is butt cheese 🧀

Well said 5:38 and I agree

Yes,it is what was said.

@5:38 getting young chicks isn’t about your performance. It’s about the size of your wallet and your manipulation skills. Don’t get it twisted.
No one said older women are shit. I love women my age (sometimes more than one at the same time). I am making up for quality with quantity.
@7:49 Of course it is about money, power, prestige, connections. Those are bargaining chips in the same way that looks are bargaining chips.

7:52 spoken like a true [manipulative] sexual predator.
A prize sow? Do you go to sex clubs? You have a hot boat? I think I know who 753 aka Mohave Mack,right?
7:53=7:50=6:11=5:38
8:39 I was two of those and not the other two so you are wrong, but pretty good try getting 50% 🙂

What is wrong with shitting in one's bed? The State Bar does that to all attorneys who pays dues
Doug Crawford arrested fro 4 counts of open gross lewdness. Awesome
OH FUDGE https://www.ktnv.com/news/crime/las-vegas-attorney-arrested-for-multiple-counts-of-lewdness-police-say

Wtf did Dougie do now? So glad the NSC allowed this asshole to keep his license
The Doug stories are starting to fly tonight in my DMs. I had no idea so many other people had experiences with him that were this bad and patently violative.
Damn, used to work for Doug. It was better than appearing in front of Jennifer Dorsey.
Another old creepy male attorney. You guys should start a club.
We have one. It’s called the State Bar.
7:51 I bet you are the opposing counsel whose complaint Dorsey dismissed while patiently explaining to you exactly what any first year law student would have known needed to be in your complaint for it not to be dismissed, then filed an amended complaint correcting none of the glaring deficiencies. Mean ole Judge Dorsey!
