Those are typical consulting rates, I got 300 an hour right out of grad school as a forensic toxicologist.
I nearly did a spit-take when i heard that. Fuck am i even watching right now"So you think a woman who has characteristics of being afraid for her life gives her intimate partner a large knife which she has inscribed 'until death'. That's your testimony?"
"well, there is context!"
WOW
So the one doctor who had multiple sessions with the couple came to the conclusion that Depp was not a perpetrator of spousal abuse had her opinion refused by Hughes, who never interacted with Depp.
Uh huh...
This Dr is coming across more like a friend than expert witness. Kinda undermines her own expertise.

WOW
Depp's main lawyer Benjamin Chew is making close to $1,000 an hour in this trial. And this is gonna be a lot of hours.
Not to mention that the recording of Amber Heard certainly doesn't sound like someone who is fearful for her life."So you think a woman who has characteristics of being afraid for her life gives her intimate partner a large knife which she has inscribed 'until death'. That's your testimony?"

In 2013, after passing the Kosovo Bar, he defended the holder of the country's telecommunications franchise there in criminal proceedings brought by EULEX, securing his acquittal and enabling his company to keep its franchise. Before the European Court of Human Rights, Ben represented a leading Georgian political and business lender in a petition to restore his wrongfully revoked citizenship, and favorably resolved a defamation claim for the former treasury minister of the Czech Republic. Ben also prosecuted an arbitration claim against the Republic of Ghana at the I.C.C.This is himBenjamin G. Chew

Ben remains committed to pro bono, successfully representing an African American honors graduate of the University of Virginia in his civil rights case against certain government officers. He served as counsel for one of the plaintiffs' groups in the landmark Black Farmers class action litigation against the U.S. Department of Agriculture based on systemic discrimination in farm loan programs, which resulted in a $1.2 billion settlement. Ben represented a Native American plaintiffs' group in the parallel Keepseagle class action, settled for just under $1 billion. He represented two Olympic gold medalists, Dr. Edwin Moses and Beckie Scott, in a matter involving an investigation conducted by the World Anti-Doping Agency."
What a boss.

I don't think Depp's legal team is having a good day so far.
In all fairness, the witness keeps not answering straight (and you can see the stark contrast with how Dr. Curry was prevented to deviate from yes or no) but it could be to appear less confrontational ?Same. Especially compared to the carnage that was expected with this witness after yesterday.
They'll definitely bring that up again.Dr. Hughes said that Amber purchased knife for him during the filming of The Lone Ranger. Lone Ranger was released in 2013. The knife was gifted in 2015.
They are preparing for when doc curry come again to counter her pointsI'm a bit behind and currently at the line of questioning about her use of pronouns and whether she regularly testifies on behalf of male abuse victims and...they're not getting any points with this so far...

Still not but some lawyer have been saying they have to... since dr.Hughes have been disagreeing with dr.Curry points and diagnosis..... they need to fight that later on

It was Depp that testified that he received the knife as a gift in 2015.Who said it was gifted in 2015?
If they didn't know the date it was gifted, she might have been able to explain that away.
