Plaintiff's Team · Brown Rudnick
Ashlee Stemland
Attorney on Johnny Depp’s trial team who examined Brandon Patterson and Bruce Witkin.
About
A Brown Rudnick attorney, she examined building manager Brandon Patterson about May 2016 security footage and Depp’s behavior in it. She also asked about Adam Waldman’s role in drafting Patterson’s declaration. Patterson acknowledged that Waldman drafted it and later denied that the drafting affected his truthfulness. After audio was restored, Patterson revised his description of Depp’s behavior to “upset about something.”
In her examination of Depp’s longtime friend Bruce Witkin, he described Depp’s substance use, a bruise he said he saw on Amber Heard’s arm, and his criticism of Dr. Kipper’s sobriety program.
