Amber Heard's alleged fight with a former partner more than a decade ago was detailed in court by a witness on Wednesday as her defamation trial with ex-husband Johnny Depp draws to its conclusion. The actress, 36, is battling it out in a Virginia court with Depp, 58, after he sued her for $50 million over a 2018 op-ed she wrote for The Washington Post , in which she stated that she was a domestic abuse survivor. While Heard, who is countersuing for $100 million, did not name Depp in the article, his lawyers have argued that it was obvious she was referring to the actor. During the trial, both denied the other's allegations of domestic violence . As proceedings at Fairfax County Circuit Courthouse on Wednesday, police officer Beverly Leonard testified via live video link that she had allegedly witnessed Heard get into an altercation with her then-partner Tasya van Ree at a Washington airport. According to Leonard, the alleged incident took place in 2009 at Seattle-Tacoma … [Read more...] about Amber Heard, ex Tasya Van Ree “altercation”: What witness revealed

The Amber Heard–Johnny Depp Trial Is Not a Joke
The first time it happened, she said, she thought it was a joke. On the stand in her defamation trial a few weeks ago, the actor Amber Heard shared her account of the first time her now-ex-husband, Johnny Depp, allegedly hit her. She’d asked him about one of his tattoos: the one on his bicep (the one he’d famously had edited ) that to her looked like a muddle of black ink. The tattoo spelled out wino , she said he told her. Thinking he was kidding—Depp had publicly struggled with substance abuse, and Heard claimed he’d been drinking that night—she laughed. And then, she alleged: “He slapped me across the face.” Her response, she testified, was to laugh some more. “I didn’t know what else to do. I thought, This must be a joke . This must be a joke . Because I didn’t know what was going on.” Depp has denied ever hitting or assaulting Heard. And the trial is not directly ligitating whether he did so. Instead, the proceedings center on a Washington Post op-ed that Heard … [Read more...] about The Amber Heard–Johnny Depp Trial Is Not a Joke

Michael Peterson’s lawyer David Rudolf says Owl Theory is “believable”
Every true-crime fan more or less has an opinion on the case of Kathleen and Michael Peterson. The Staircase , a 13-episode documentary by Oscar-winning director Jean-Xavier de Lestrade and HBO Max's latest true-crime drama of the same name have helped make the case known across the world. In 2003, Michael Peterson was convicted of killing his wife Kathleen Peterson after she was found dead in a pool of blood at the bottom of the staircase in their home on December 9, 2001. He was released in 2011 pending a retrial but in 2017 he submitted an Alford plea to the lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter meaning he accepted there was enough evidence to be convicted but he was able to maintain his innocence. He was sentenced to time already served and was released from prison. At Peterson's 2003 trial, the defense argued Kathleen died after falling down the stairs and there was no motive for Michael Peterson to kill his wife. The defense stated Kathleen and Michael had a happy … [Read more...] about Michael Peterson’s lawyer David Rudolf says Owl Theory is “believable”
More Memorial Day travel expected, despite high gas prices
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 3 LOS ANGELES (AP) — To drive, or not to drive? This Memorial Day weekend, with surging gas prices that are redefining pain at the pump, that is the question for many Americans as a new COVID-19 surge also spreads across the country. For Marvin Harper, of Phoenix, his family’s weekend travel plans are a double punch to the wallet. His college-age son and daughter each have a soccer tournament in Southern California and Colorado, respectively. He and his daughter will fly to Denver, rather than drive, because of the cost of fuel, while his wife and son will go to California in her SUV. “My mother-in-law’s going with my wife and son to split that cost because it’s just too much on our household,” said Harper, as he filled up the tank of his truck at a Phoenix QuikTrip. “We can’t afford both of us to drive. That’s the bottom line ... Gas prices are killing our household.” For some, … [Read more...] about More Memorial Day travel expected, despite high gas prices

Evil killers stripped dad naked and beat him to death after meeting his sons in prison
Evil killers beat a dad-of-five to death after stripping him of his clothes, leaving him wearing just a single sock. The horrific attack on Carl Woodall by cold-hearted Mark Campbell and Simmion Goldbourne left him so badly battered he suffered more than 140 injuries. The 44-year-old mechanic was repeatedly attacked with weapons including a machete , large knife and wooden handle, during a two-hour assault at an industrial site in the Black Country. Campbell and Goldbourne were convicted of murder after jurors spent more than three hours considering their verdicts. A third man - James McGhee - was acquitted of murdering "rough-diamond" Mr Woodall, but instead was found guilty of manslaughter. The trio had plotted to steal drugs they believed were secretly stashed in the unit Mr Woodall rented. It came after self-confessed drug dealer Campbell met Mr Woodall's stepsons Cieran and Joshua while they were all serving jail terms at HMP Birmingham in 2018. He alleged he … [Read more...] about Evil killers stripped dad naked and beat him to death after meeting his sons in prison
