What I'm suggesting is that if it comes to the expert opinion of Dr Curry versus Dawn Hughes since they are opposite, there are enough red flags in Dr Curry's assessment to give more weight to the latter.
- Dr Curry is nowhere near as qualified as Dr Hughes
- Dr Curry has an existing relationship with Vasquez that wasn't fully disclosed, and was "wined and dined" at Depp's home.
- Dr Curry isn't board certified whereas Dr Hughes is
- The depth of Dr Curry's evaluation was significantly less than Dr Hughes.
Pretty much none of that matters. Seriously, it doesn't matter. Heard's legal team didn't object to Curry being an expert witness on any of the grounds that you gave. Doing the qualifications-dick-measuring-contest isn't a legal argument, and doesn't really convince anyone considering experts on both sides are chosen to be favourable to their side.
What actually matters, is how they carry themselves during direct examination, and more importantly, during cross examination. Curry carried herself extremely well during cross examination. Hughes got ripped to shreds during cross examination. That speaks to volumes about her credibility more so than any of the things you are going on about.
Now to be fair, I think a big portion of this is probably because Heard's legal team is borderline incompetent when it comes to examining witnesses. During direct examination, her legal team repeatedly got hit with an objection by asking leading questions. During cross exam, they would ask the witness to speculate, and again was hit with an objection. Basic stuff like this can decimate the credibility of a witness.
