Amber Heard Acting Like Cold-Blooded Killers Like Ted Bundy, Chris Watts?
Amber Heard was recently likened to cold-blooded killers like Chris Watts, Scott Peterson and Ted Bundy.
All eyes are still on her as she defends ex-husband Johnny Depp in his defamation trial for $50 million.
As Depp's attorneys cross-examine her, a body language expert decodes the "Aquaman" star's gestures and mannerisms.
Many observers observed Heard's eyes were closed when she recounted every incident that occurred during her marriage to Depp. Janine Driver, on the other hand, believes that shutting her eyes indicates that she may be lying about some situations.
According to the expert who spoke to Court TV (via OK magazine), observing a five-second eye shut, like Amber Heard does most of the time while on the stand, is "important with identifying dishonesty."
Chris Watts, who murdered his pregnant wife and two small children, allegedly executed a 1.5-second eye closure.
"If I asked everyone at home watching to close their eyes for 1.5 seconds while listening or chatting, you would see how dramatic it is," Driver said.
Scott Peterson, who performed a two-second eye closure, was also cited by the body language expert. Peterson murdered his wife, who was also expecting at the time.
Driver then likened Amber Heard to Bundy, who performed "nine seconds" of close eye contact.
"So she's between between a Scott Peterson and a Ted Bundy."
"First and foremost, she is stating that she does not want us to have access to it. Second, she employs reducing language."
The expert also noted that when Heard asserted, "I could never injure Johnny," she used the future tense rather than "I didn't damage him," and she used the term "hurt" rather than "abuse."
Driver also highlighted prominent people who were discovered lying "Jerry Sandusky said, 'I didn't do these things instead of saying, 'I didn't molest these kids.' R. Kelly said, 'Quit playing, I didn't do this stuff.'"
The expert added that when individuals lie, they frequently employ "minimizing language," which is highly important while speaking in court.
"What did Johnny Depp say on the stand? People accuse me of being a wife-beater. He employs the phrase, and an honest person would not use wife-beater."
Driver said, "Get Johnny in the stand and give us what we expect from a truthful person. Amber is doing the exact opposite."
Johnny Depp is suing his ex-wife over an op-ed she penned for the Washington Post in 2018 alleging domestic violence.
