Depp -v- Heard - part 2 A run down of the allegations

Depp -v- Heard - part 2 A run down of the allegations

In our last instalment of the Depp -v- Heard story (part 1) we looked at the beginning of the relationship between the couple followed by her now infamous application for a restraining order which led to the publicity of the alleged domestic violence in their marriage and ended in their attending a libel trial in the UK where Judge Nichol rule, on the balance of probabilities that Depp was mainly at fault in 12 of the 14 incidents between the couple which meant that The Sun Newspaper could rely upon the defence of truth in labelling Depp a wife beater.

now we can look at some of those incidents reported by Heard

If you have not listened to part 1 please go back now as some of this will not make sense

Depp -v- Heard part 1 - The background

Depp -v- Heard part 1 - The background


I am a huge fan of Johnny Depp, what is not to like about him?

He is handsome, kooky, stars in amazing films and his posters covered my walls when I was a teenager, by the same token I know little to nothing about Amber Heard except what I have read or seen in news and online in recent months and years following her much publicised marriage and split with Johnny Depp, so it is hard for me to remain impartial, but I will endeavour to do so

Recently we watched the UK trial in which actress Amber Heard gave evidence on behalf of the Sun who  won a libel case in the U.K. High Court after an article in U.K. News Group Newspaper publication, The Sun, which stated that her ex-husband Johnny Depp engaged in domestic violence against her on multiple occasions and now the US version is playing out on Court TV so how have we got to where we are so long after the couple split?

The story of the two of them began when 22 year old Amber Heard  met 45 year old father of 2 Johnny Depp on the set of the film The Rum Diary in 2009.........

Update on Star Hobson's Mother & The tragic tale of Hero Richard Woodcock

Update on Star Hobson's Mother & The tragic tale of Hero Richard Woodcock

The mother of murdered toddler Star Hobson has had her sentence for causing or allowing her daughter's death increased to 12 years.

The jail sentence handed to the mother of murdered toddler Star Hobson was "too low", the attorney general said at the end of 2021 Attorney General Suella Braverman said this was "unduly lenient" and referred the sentence to the Court of Appeal. Ms Braverman MP said: "This is a tragic and extremely upsetting case and my thoughts are with all those who loved Star Hobson Star died in 2020 after months of "neglect, cruelty and injury"

Update on Star Hobson killer as sentencing reviewed by Court of Appeal (maliceaforethoughtuk.wixsite.com)

also:- An inquest into the death of  City Council highways officer Richard Woodcock, aged 38 on 26th June 2021 was held earlier this month at Milton Keynes Coroner's Court

Coroner Tom Osborne ruled that Mr Woodcock was unlawfully killed, and a post-mortem into his death showed he had suffered traumatic head injuries, consistent with repeated blows to the head.

So what circumstances arose which led to the horrific murder   of a young professional man described as "a very popular man" within Milton Keynes Council. in a residential area in his home town?

Heroic neighbour paid ultimate price for assisting a woman in distress (maliceaforethoughtuk.wixsite.com)

Death in police Custody the Christopher Alder tragedy (maliceaforethoughtuk.wixsite.com)



Recently we have seen many cases of deaths caused by the police during or after the arrest of an alleged offender and following the tragic death in May 2020 of George Floyd in the United States

However, his death was not a new phenomenon and neither was it a unique case of a death in the custody of police being caught on camera, but because of social media and the individuals who witnessed the brutality being able to upload the shocking footage from their devices the public was forced to confront this tragedy head on.

here we discuss a case of a death in Police Custody that took place over 20 years before George's in an attempt to draw attention to the case, again like George the victim was a black male and again it was caught on camera, this time the very CCTV cameras in the custody suite put there to protect the prisoners from harm, either self inflicted or otherwise.

This is the story of Christopher Alder, from my home town of Kingston upon Hull in East Yorkshire.

A Family torn apart, was the motive revenge, or something more sinister?

A Family torn apart, was the motive revenge, or something more sinister?

On 19th December of 1983 Kathleen had a busy day at work ahead of her and had arranged to go shopping after work for Christmas presents for the girls. However, that morning Terri  was not feeling well and decided to remain home from school and Kathleen promised to check in on her by telephone during the day. The she left the house for work. At around 2pm that afternoon Terri called her mother at work to tell her that  that her Uncle Dewitt had arrived at the house unannounced. Kathleen asked Terri if she knew why Dewitt was there, Terri said he had come to pick up his carpentry tools. Kathleen was worried that her half- brother may be angry for being replaced and did not like the idea of her daughter having to deal with that, particularly as she was unwell and Dewitt was known to be threatening when sacked, So she asked if her daughter thought Dewitt was mad, but Terri was crying, so Kathleen asked her daughter to call her when Dewitt had left.

The strange Life and death of the I-70 Strangler

The strange Life and death of the I-70 Strangler

Herb Baumesiter - (un)successful businessman - family man - serial killer 


Herb was an odd character - strange goings on in the workplace and mannequins partying in the pool house, but no one could have anticipated that this man was responsible for up to 22 murders in and around Indianapolis 

Reports suggest his school friends talked of his having a fascination with dead animals and even that he even brought one to school. He showed destructive tendencies, would disrupt classes, and once reportedly urinated on a teacher's desk although little more is known about the reasons for this incident. Although there is a reported interview with an ex-classmate who claimed that Herb asked him "what it would be like to taste human urine"

The Chillenden Murders of Lin & Megan Russell & the Miraculous survival of Josie PART 2

on 9th July 1997, on the first anniversary of the attack,  using evidence gleaned from several eyewitnesses in the area and brave Josie's testimony, BBC TV decided to run a Crimewatch reconstruction of the day in a hope of jogging people's memories or getting another lead to point Police in the right direction.

Following that reconstruction  a  Psychiatrist called the police about one of his patients he was worried about, Michael Stone who looked like the e-fit and he told the police  "Stone was in the mood for killing."

In July 1997, police arrested and charged Stone, who was 37 at the time, with the crimes
