Day 21 began with Amber Heard's team resting their case in chief. Following this, Johnny Depp's team put forth a Motion to Strike in an effort to have Amber's counterclaims against Johnny dismissed. After both sides made some compelling arguments, Judge Penny Azcarate took it all into consideration and opted to keep her counterclaim alive and send it to the jury.
Moving swiftly along, we got stuck into the day proper. With Amber's side having rested, Johnny's team began the process of responding to what was presented in her case in chief through various rebuttal witnesses. These included a handful of experts mainly designed to rebut the expert testimony presented yesterday.
In something of a shock Mr. Depp's side called Morgan Knight, the Inn Keeper at the Hicksville trailer palace, a man present the night of the Hicksville incident. This brought the highlight of the day with lots of mentions of @ThatUmbrellaGuy , sometimes referred to as That Umbrella Man by Elaine Bredehoft.
We also heard from the hotly anticipated Jennifer Howell, who didn't turn out to be quite the bombshell everyone had hoped for. Rounding out the day was a representative from the Children's Hospital of LA who testified about Amber's supposed pledge/donation.
