April 25th marked the 8th day in the trial of Johnny Depp Vs. Amber Heard. After a 3 day break we opened with Johnny retaking the stand to finish his sparring match (err, cross examination) with Amber Heard's attorney Ben Rottenborn. Ben seemed to change tact this morning, opening with lots of audio, seemingly trying to establish that the arguments the couple got into and the resulting verbal exchanges from Johnny could qualify as domestic abuse. He then moved on to the 2018 OpEd, wanting to plant the seeds that anything prior to that publication by Ms. Heard was not at issue in this trial. Eventually Ben moved into the close of his testimony, coming fast and hard at Johnny with lines of questioning that seemed designed to provoke an outburst from Mr. Depp to demonstrate his alleged behaviours to the jury. It didn't work and Mr. Rottenborn drew lots of objections in these final few minutes, but he did his best to maintain his pace and attempt to close on a strong note. Following Rottenborn's close Johnny's team had the chance for redirect. They spent most of their time playing new pieces of audio from audio files already admitted into evidence. Basically, they played portions of audio from the same tapes Amber's team did, but different sections. The aim was to provide the jury a wider context to the clips played by the defense and shed new light on things Johnny may have said in those segments. The redirect closed on a very strong note with the Depp team playing the audio many had been waiting a very, very long time to hear. The clip where Amber tells Johnny (paraphrasing) 'Tell them you're a victim of domestic abuse, see how many people believe or side with you'. After this, Johnny's time on the stand came to an end. Moving swiftly along, next up was Ben King. Ben was Johnny's house manager and personal assistant. He is also the man who found Johnny's fingertip during the Australia Incident. His testimony provided insight into the aforementioned Australia incident, as well as a few other incidents in the couples history. The defense had a particularly bad cross examination of this witness, which was followed by an uneventful redirect by the Depp team. And that's it! That was the end of Day 8.

In this live stream, we're joined by media strategist, podcaster, freelance journalist, & award-winning writer @Gabriella Hoffman!! (Twitter: https://twitter.com/Gabby_Hoffman; District of Conservation Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/district-of-conservation/id1435126030) She's been writing extensively about the dangers of the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, entrepreneurship, independent contracting, and more. As an entrepreneur and independent contractor herself, she's been keenly interested in these topics and the effects they may have on not just her, but entrepreneurs all across the United States. Today we're talking about the Biden Administration's nominee for Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division administrator, David Weil. He previously served under the Obama Administration, and was approved on January 13, 2021 by the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) for a general confirmation vote by the Senate. He's talked a lot about wanting to drastically limit independent contracting to ostensibly help protect employees. But does that do more harm than good to workers and the choices they face in the workplace? Join us in the live chat! ? Also! ?

In this live stream, we're watching and commenting on the latest developments in the Sanderson v. Paltrow, otherwise known as the Gwyneth Paltrow Ski Crash Trial. This is Day 7. We are in Defendant Gwyneth Paltrow's case-in-chief (sort of). Joining us: @UncivilLaw @erichunley @nateeric BACKGROUND: On February 26, 2016, Terry Sanderson and Gwyneth Paltrow were both on the Bandana Run at Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah. On that run, they collided. Sanderson purportedly ended up with four broken ribs and a concussion. Later, he sued Paltrow for allegedly skiing recklessly, hitting him, and then skiing off. But according to Paltrow, she was skiing conservatively, and it was Sanderson who actually ran into her. Trial began on Tuesday, March 21, 2023.
