In the new documents filed last week in the Depp v. Heard appeal, Amber has designated 16 rulings as error on appeal; Johnny has designated 3. We can tell a lot about their respective strategies from their designations, and if you've been following my commentary on this appeal, you already know that the types of issues they've designated have a lot to do with their likelihood of success. Amber Heard's designations are counterproductive and self-indulgent; they drown whatever good points her lawyers might be able to make in petty complaints that will bore the court and looks like she has a million excuses for losing. Johnny's designations are targeted and consistent and he'll have a lot easier time fitting his arguments into the page and word count limits of the brief. The two documents are posted to my community page and are available for download here: https://AndreaBurkhart.com/documents 00:00 Intro 00:16 16 issues vs. 3 issues - what does that tell us about their thinking? 01:27 Some advice the appeal lawyers probably gave Amber 01:47 Looking at page/word limits and other requirements of the briefs 05:21 Then there's the psychology of the argument 09:04 The assignments aren't the reasons, so that's why the 1A isn't mentioned 10:36 Johnny's issues are focused and thematically related 13:04 Again, we're not judging the merits yet, but we can see the law vs. fact challenges 16:41 Johnny has a superior legal strategy 19:00 What to expect coming up My most recent video on Depp v.
