Morgan Night — Direct/Cross/Redirect/Voir Dire
509 linesTHE COURT: Your next witness.
MS. VASQUEZ: We call Morgan Night.
THE COURT: Ladies and gentlemen, we're going to take a brief recess at this point. Hopefully we get you back soon. Do not discuss the case and don't do any outside research. Sorry. We'll just take a short break.
THE COURT: All right. Just so that we're on the same page -- you can have a seat. You don't have to keep standing the whole time. Just so we're on the same page with Mr. Night's testimony. Actually, can Mr. Night go back out, please. All right. So we're on the same page with Mr. Night's testimony, there was a rule on witnesses, however, Mr. Night's a rebuttal witness. The purpose of excluding witnesses from the courtroom -- usually it's the courtroom, is to deprive a later witness of the opportunity to shape testimony to correspond with that of an earlier witness.
THE COURT: The issue we have here, obviously, if there was a direct witness in the direct testimony, you had time to do a rule on witnesses, let them know about the rule on witnesses, but a rebuttal witness it's a little different because they didn't know they were going to be a witness, you didn't know they were going to be a witness. I understand that part. The problem is, the courtroom, in this particular case, appears to be the world. So what we have to do here is I'm going to do a voir dire, and I'll allow both sides to ask questions, as well, of Mr. Night to see what he has seen of the case. And I'm just going to use the factors that the case law in Virginia uses, which are the factors to consider, because the Court does have broad discretion to permit or prohibit a witness to testify in this particular circumstance. So the factors I'm going to consider is if the impropriety was intentional, which we'll find out.
THE COURT: The prejudice attached to it, also if the excluded witness learned about substantive aspects of the case from an earlier testifying witness and whether that knowledge had any affect on his or her testimony. So those are the three factors I'm going to look at in weighing this decision. So, keep that in mind when you do your voir dire. And it's my understanding that the evidence that Mr. Night will testify only relates to Hicksville; is that correct? Now we can have Mr. Night. Mr. Night, if you could come forward to be sworn.
DOUG BANIA: Witness called on behalf of the plaintiff and counterclaim defendant, having been first duly sworn by the Clerk, testified as follows:
THE COURT: Sir, if you could just have a seat, please. Sir, what we're doing is I'm just going to ask you a few questions outside the presence of the jury, then the attorneys are going to ask you a few questions, okay?
DOUG BANIA: Sure.
THE COURT: Then I'm going to have you step outside after that.
DOUG BANIA: No problem
THE COURT: What's your full name, sir?
DOUG BANIA: Morgan Higby Night.
THE COURT: Allright. You don't have to be that close. How do you spell your last name?
DOUG BANIA: N-I-G-H-T.
THE COURT: Okay. Sir, before I can allow you to testify, I just want to ask you a few questions. Have you seen any of the trial that's been going on for the past six weeks.
MORGAN NIGHT: Approximately five weeks ago, a friend: of mine texted me that Hicksville was mentioned, and [ watched a little clip where it was mentioned.
THE COURT: Which clip did you watch?
MORGAN NIGHT: I believe it was somebody testifying about — I think it was the security guard testifying, maybe, about Hicksville, or I forget exactly who was testifying. But it was something where Hicksville was mentioned, and it was about — something about a wrist or something about that.
THE COURT: What did you-do after that, at some point, did you get in contact with the attorneys? <A SoT didn't reach out to them. I didn't really care.
THE COURT: Okay.
MORGAN NIGHT: The innkeepers that worked at Hicksville before, reached out to them and said we saw some stuff that wasn't true and then they asked, is it okay if I give the attorneys your phone number, so the attorneys reached out to me.
THE COURT: Okay. And when did the attorneys reach out to you?
MORGAN NIGHT: May 3rd.
THE COURT: May 3rd. And you talked to the attorneys at that time?
MORGAN NIGHT: Yeah.
THE COURT: Okay.
MORGAN NIGHT: Not Camille, but Yarelyn.
THE COURT: Okay. And then have you seen any other parts of the trial?
MORGAN NIGHT: No. She instructed me not to watch anything about it, regardless of if it was about Hicksville or not, so I've been keeping off the Internet and turning off anything that seems to be like it's on social media. So I just don't watch any of that.
THE COURT: = Okay. All right.
THE COURT: Any questions, Ms. Bredehoft?
MS. BREDEHOFT: Yes, Your Honor.
MS. BREDEHOFT: So, Mr. Night, you were contacted by an attorney for Mr. Depp on May 3rd? Yes. Okay. And you said it was Carolyn? Yarelyn. Oh, Yarelyn. I've got it. I think it's pronounced "Jare-a-lyn." Can you tell us the conversation you had with her at that time?
MORGAN NIGHT: Yeah, she just asked me my recollection of the evening, and I told her and she said, okay, would you mind testifying? And I said sure. And she said, okay, well, then, we're not sure if we're going to call you or not, but just in case, please, don't watch anything having to do with the case. And I said I will do. to: May 24, 2022
MS. BREDEHOFT: Now, how is it that, to your best knowledge, how is it that Yarelyn was able to get ahold of you? How did she know that you knew something?
MORGAN NIGHT: So, like I said, two: of my innkeepers, my innkeeper, my manager had reached out to her team, I think through email, and one of them texted me and said, hey, do you mind if we give Yarelyn your phone number.
MS. BREDEHOFT: Now, you also communicated on Twitter; did you not, about this case?
MORGAN NIGHT: Yeah. Two weeks prior to Yarelyn reaching out to me, someone had made a comment about something that happened by the fire pit, and 15.1 said that's not my recollection. I didn't see — that's not — that's not what I saw.
MS. BREDEHOFT: So, who was it that made a comment about something that happened at the fire pit?
MORGAN NIGHT: So, once I was told about the fact that Hicksville was mentioned, I went and did a Twitter search of Hicksville trailer, so it was, I don't know who it was, but I was just, like, what are they saying about Hicksville? And so, that was why I did a search, just to see, because it was weird and fascinating because the night, to me, wasn't that remarkable in the context of all the different experiences I've had at that Trailer Palace.
MS. BREDEHOFT: So, explain to me, please, what you mean by you did a “trailer search [sic]."
MORGAN NIGHT: So, if you go to Twitter and you put in keywords into a search, all the tweets regarding that subject come up, or anything with those keywords in it. So that is how I found the tweet that I replied to. 14. Q Okay. And how many tweets did you find that mentioned Hicksville-when you did that trailer search? 17. A Probably, like, five or six. I only replied to one of them.
MS. BREDEHOFT: Okay. And what do you recall those tweets saying about Hicksville?
MORGAN NIGHT: The one that I replied to said that there was some incident by the fire pit and Johnny was yelling at Amber. And I replied that my - that I didn't see that. I was there all night and I was, you know, I was working that night, so I didn't see anything like that.
MS. BREDEHOFT: So, your best recollection on that one was that somebody.said somebody was testifying that Johnny was yelling at Amber?
MORGAN NIGHT: Yeah. And I believe grabbed her or something along those lines.
MS. BREDEHOFT: Do you recall who said Johnny was yelling at Amber and grabbed her?
MORGAN NIGHT: I have no idea. It was a stranger. So 13.1 didn't really pay attention to who was writing it.
MS. BREDEHOFT: Allright. And you said that you responded to it. How did you respond to it? 17. A _ I said that's not what happened. I was there all night. Yeah, basically.
MS. BREDEHOFT: = Okay.
MORGAN NIGHT: I'm paraphrasing.
MS. BREDEHOFT: Did you say anything about what you thought happened?
MORGAN NIGHT: I just said that didn't happen. I didn't say what. I believe I said maybe something along the lines of from what I saw, Amber was the one acting jealous, not Johnny.
MS. BREDEHOFT: And you said this to one of the tweets?
MORGAN NIGHT: Yes.
MS. BREDEHOFT: Do you recall whether that was the .umbrella man?
MORGAN NIGHT: I don't recall. That's a ridiculous name, though.
MS. BREDEHOFT: So tell me about the other five tweets that you recall seeing when you ran your trailer search, 14. A I think they were similar in nature, but I don't specifically remember the details of them. That was pretty much the only one I remember, and that's the only one I replied to.
MS. BREDEHOFT: Do you remember anything about the other five and what was said?
MORGAN NIGHT: No.
MS. BREDEHOFT: When you said that somebody told you about a security guard, what was your to May 24, 2022 understanding of what the security guard said?
MORGAN NIGHT: Just got a text that somebody in the trial had said that they were talking about Trailer Palace during the trial. And so, that's what led me to go on Twitter and do a search.
MS. BREDEHOFT: And did you have any communications with the two innkeepers about what you knew or what you thought? A: No. I haven't talked to them in years and still haven't, regarding the case.
MS. BREDEHOFT: So, how is it that the innkeepers, then, contacted you and said do you mind if we give you the telephone number to the attorneys? 14. A They still had me in their phone and Kristi, who was the manager at the time, is the one that texted me and said, hey, do you mind if we pass this along? Mr. Depp's attorneys want to talk to you.
MS. BREDEHOFT: Do you mind if we pass what along?
MORGAN NIGHT: Your phone number.
MS. BREDEHOFT: Right. But how is it that -- what is the communication you had with the innkeepers that the communication you had with the innkeepers that even led them to understand that you believed you had knowledge about Hicksville, the Hicksville incident?
MORGAN NIGHT: There was no conversation. They knew because they were both working that same night, Jenna was the innkeeper, and she was there along with me that night. Kristi was the one who texted me and she had come in the following morning for her shift, and I slept over. I was live-in innkeeper that night.
MS. BREDEHOFT: So I'm trying to understand. So just based on the fact that seven years ago, they happened to know that you were working that night?
MORGAN NIGHT: Nine years ago, and it's because I was there with them.
MS. BREDEHOFT: My math - well, it's 2022 right now, and that was what year?
MS. BREDEHOFT: 2013, you're right. How is it that out of the blue, they remembered, nine years ago, that you worked there that night and that you might have some knowledge? T DEPOS SNA MA WN re
MORGAN NIGHT: I mean, to be honest, like, we do get celebrities sometimes, but it was, you know, it's not that unmemorable. It's not like it's any other night of the week. So I'm sure they remembered the specifics of that night.
MS. BREDEHOFT: Had Mr. Depp's attorneys ever attempted to contact you before?
MORGAN NIGHT: No.
MS. BREDEHOFT: Had you ever attempted to contact Mr. Depp's attorneys before?
MORGAN NIGHT: No. [had no interest.
MS. BREDEHOFT: Allright. Have you had any conversations with Mr. Depp's attorneys other than the one you described with Yarelyn?
MORGAN NIGHT: Since? Q = Yes. 17. A Well, I met with Camille last night.
MS. BREDEHOFT: What was that conversation, please describe.
MORGAN NIGHT: I just went through, you know, the story again that I had told Yarelyn.
MS. BREDEHOFT: And let's hear what that story was. OO ANAM hb WN "And let's hear what that story was.
MORGAN NIGHT: You want me to go through --
MS. BREDEHOFT: Yes.
MORGAN NIGHT: The whole story?
MS. BREDEHOFT: There's no attorney work product.
THE COURT: No, I'll overrule that. That's okay. Go ahead. Go ahead, sir.
MORGAN NIGHT: Sure.
MORGAN NIGHT: I described, like, them getting to the Trailer Palace, the -- me showing them around, the interactions I had when I was on duty with Mr. Depp and Mr. Heard -- or Ms. Heard, how the evening progressed throughout the night, the levels of drinking and drug use that I witnessed, the -- what the state of the damaged trailer the next morning, and, basically, just, yeah, the details that I had only, you know, spent, total, 45 minutes to an hour with Mr. Depp and Ms. Heard throughout the evening -- throughout the entire May 24, 2022 course of the night, so it was my recollection of those events during that time.
MS. BREDEHOFT: And what did Ms. Vasquez say to you?
MR. CHEW: Your Honor, this is beyond -- we object on the grounds that it's beyond the scope of the voir dire.
MS. BREDEHOFT: No, whatever she said to him --
THE COURT: Go ahead, yes, sir.
MR. CHEW: The objection is that it's beyond the scope of the voir dire. Your Honor enumerated the three criteria which are relevant here, and this is a rebuttal witness, so...
MS. BREDEHOFT: Your Honor, whatever Ms. Vasquez shared with him is going to be very important here because they knew, by this time, he was going to be a witness.
THE COURT: But that was last night.
MS. BREDEHOFT: Right.
THE COURT: Now. does that fit into the Now, does that fit into the one of the three factors of deciding whether or not he's going to testify?
MS. BREDEHOFT: Well, one of the three factors -- Your Honor, may I approach so that the witness doesn't hear?
THE COURT: Okay. That's fine.
THE COURT: I'm just determining these three factors.
MS. BREDEHOFT: And I understand that. But if they -- if Ms. Vasquez shared any of the information that any of the witnesses said --
THE COURT: You can ask if she shared any information about what other witnesses said, if you want to ask that question. T think that's fair.
MS. VASQUEZ: We don't have an objection to that, Your Honor.
THE COURT: Uh-huh.
MS. BREDEHOFT: Mr. Night.
MORGAN NIGHT: Yes.
MS. BREDEHOFT: Did Ms. Vasquez provide you with any information that anyone had testified to or said at any point?
MORGAN NIGHT: No. She didn't talk about anything except for asking me my experience and just getting a clear understanding of what my experience was. She didn't mention anything outside of the scope of what I saw and just asked me for the facts and told me, just tell the truth and let me know, you know. 14. Q Do you know what any of the witnesses said in this trial?
MORGAN NIGHT: About? I mean, outside of what I described earlier with the — a friend of mine texting that someone was talking about Trailer Palace, I do not. QQ Do you know whether any of the witnesses testified about any jealousy? +##A Other than the tweet that I replied to? Other than the tweet that I replied to? No.
MS. BREDEHOFT: All right. Thank you.
MS. BREDEHOFT: Your Honor, may we approach?
THE COURT: Do you have any questions?
MS. VASQUEZ: No.
THE COURT: Sir, if you can have a seat outside the courtroom.
MORGAN NIGHT: Sure. Can I leave my
THE COURT: Yes, you can leave your
MS. BREDEHOFT: So, first, Your Honor, it was 19 days between when they learned he may be a witness —
THE COURT: But they said they might not use him as a rebuttal witness. They don't have to provide you with witnesses they think they might provide as rebuttal. That's not a rule.
MS. BREDEHOFT: Your Honor, if I may, there was no -- according to Mr. Night, there was to May 24, 2022 no communications with Ms. Vasquez until last night. They supplemented with him on Sunday. So they obviously knew he was going to be a witness.
THE COURT: On Sunday, they knew he was going to be a rebuttal witness.
MS. BREDEHOFT: Right. But if they didn't talk to him until last night -- if they didn't know he was going to be a rebuttal witness back when they talked to him on May 3rd, then the fact that they talked to him last night would have been after they already identified him
THE COURT: Right. They can identify him as a rebuttal witness and then speak with him before he testifies. I don't see what the issue is.
MS. BREDEHOFT: Then the second issue, Your Honor, ts once he learns that Hicksville has been raised here, he runs a trailer search, and he can't remember any of the others, but this one, Your Honor --
THE COURT: It's a (indiscernible). I can see it. ON AAR WN - can see it.
MS. BREDEHOFT: I think it's very important because here we have the Umbrella Guy saying Johnny Depp will be accused of being jealous because a woman was sitting close to Amber Heard, Depp said that she had taken happy something, and then Depp was accused of removing her hand and yelling at Amber, then she responds back, that never happened. I was with them all night. Amber was the one acting all jealous and crazy. So he's commenting on this and he knows what his testimony is.
THE COURT: Again, on that day, it hadn't happened yet. It had not happened yet. It was April something.
THE COURT: It hadn't happened yet, so he's not commenting on testimony that happened in this trial, he's commenting on whatever that person posted.
MS. BREDEHOFT: Your Honor, I think that is manifestly unfair and prejudicial to us. Hicksville has been around for years here, and the fact that they suddenly, out of the blue, want to call and talk to him, you know, in the middle of this trial makes no sense at all. We even had a court order that said that they had to provide whatever receipts they have for the damage to Hicksville. They gave us nothing. Obviously, they would have had to investigate that.
MS. VASQUEZ: We will hear why. Trust me. Everyone will hear why.
THE COURT: If we can bring the focus back to these factors, where we're at now.
MS. BREDEHOFT: All right, Your Honor.
THE COURT: So, these are the factors. So do you have anything else to say about the factors?
MS. BREDEHOFT: So, Your Honor, impropriety, the fact that they knew on May 3rd and didn't identify until May 22nd, I thought --
THE COURT: It's the impropriety of the witness. Let's just focus on the witness.
MS. BREDEHOFT: Then I think searching trailers to find out what's been said about Hicksville, I think that suggests that he's trying to find out more information.
THE COURT: I'm sorry, Ms. Bredehoft.
MS. BREDEHOFT: No, it's okay. The second thing, Your Honor, is the prejudice to us. If we had known on May 3rd, we could have said, Your Honor, you know, let us just do a 30-minute deposition of him or something, so we can at least prepare for this so we know something here. You know, what Ms. Vasquez has learned of substantial --
MS. BREDEHOFT: So, now, we're going to have this person who's going to testify, you know, that he has this knowledge, and we have had no opportunity for discovery or prepare or find another rebuttal witness beyond that.
THE COURT: That's what rebuttal witnesses are.
MR. CHEW: Your Honor, there's no to May 24, 2022 impropriety whatsoever. He is not subject to the rule on witnesses. There's clearly no prejudice to the defendant, and there's no effect on his testimony. He's going to say exactly what his recollection was. What they're objecting to is he's going to tell the truth and the truth is inconsistent with what Ms. Heard has said.
THE COURT: Anything further?
THE COURT: Well, weighing the factors' in this matter -- Judy, can you hear me okay? Weighing the factors in this matter, I don't think the party intentionally wasn't subject to the rules, and as soon as he was contacted about possibly being a rebuttal witness, he did not watch anything. He hasn't learned anything substantive, aspects of the case, from any earlier testifying witnesses, other than the security guard. He's testified he heard something about security guard. But other than that, nothing would shape his testimony to correspond with any earlier witness. And if there is any prejudicial earlier witness. And if there is any prejudicial : value, the probative value outweighs the prejudice.
THE COURT: At this point, I will allow him to testify. The witness will be very limited. Do you understand?
THE COURT: All right.
THE COURT: So based on weighing the factors, I'm going to allow Mr. Night to testify. If we can get Mr. Night back in. If I knew you were going to do a sidebar, I wouldn't have made him leave. I never know. All right, sir, if you could just stay there while we get the jury, okay? All right. Are we ready for the jury?
MS. BREDEHOFT: Yes, Your Honor.
THE COURT: Thank you. We're going to swear him in again, in front of the jury, okay?
THE COURT: All right. You may be All right. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. I apologize for the interruption. You're.going to notice, as we get closer to the end of the testimony, you're probably going to have more interruptions, and I apologize for that, but there's just some matters we have to take up 12.outside your presence, okay? Thank you. seated. All right. Your next witness.
MS. VASQUEZ: We're going to call Morgan Night.
THE COURT: All right. Mr. Night, if you stand to be sworn. MORGAN HIGBY NIGHT
MORGAN NIGHT: Witness called on behalf of the plaintiff and counterclaim defendant, having been first duly sworn by the Clerk, testified as follows: follows:
THE COURT: Sir, if you could have a seat.
MS. VASQUEZ: Good afternoon, Mr. Night.
MORGAN NIGHT: Good afternoon, Camille.
MS. VASQUEZ: Would you; please, state your fill name for the record.
MORGAN NIGHT: Morgan Higby Night.
MS. VASQUEZ: Mr. Night, where are you from?
MORGAN NIGHT: I live in Los Angeles, California. 13. Q > And what do you do for a living? 14. A So, I currently own and run Hicksville Pines Bud and Breakfast in Idyllwild, California, and I created and ran Hicksville Trailer Palace in Joshua Tree, California starting in 2009,
MS. VASQUEZ: And how is Hicksville Pines Bud and Breakfast different from Hicksville Trailer Palace?
MORGAN NIGHT: So, Hicksville Pines Bud and Breakfast is up in the mountains of Idyllwild, which is a beautiful, like, snow town above Palm Springs. And all the units are A-frames instead of trailers, which we have - it's obviously a very different climate than Joshua Tree, which is a desert area. The rooms, which are themed at both places, are trailers, finished trailers from the '50s through the '70s at Hicksville Trailer Palace. There's also different kind of amenities; there's a pool at Joshua Tree, there's a rec room up at Hicksville Pines.
MS. VASQUEZ: When did you first become the owner of the Trailer Palace?
MORGAN NIGHT: Trailer Palace, I started building it in 2009, it took about a year with my collaborator, Stephen Butcher, on the trailers, and we got done and opened in 2010.
MS. VASQUEZ: Did there come a time that you sold the Hicksville Trailer Palace?
MORGAN NIGHT: Yeah, I did, the beginning of 2020. I had some health issues and it was too much to run both at the same time, so I chose Idyllwild because it was newer and shinier.
MS. VASQUEZ: And just for my sake, how long did you own the Trailer Palace?
MORGAN NIGHT: So, ten years of us being open, 11 years total.
MS. VASQUEZ: And what was the Hicksville Trailer Palace?
MORGAN NIGHT: So, it started out as an artist retreat. I was a filmmaker at the time and wanted a place to get away and work on film projects outside of Los Angeles. I also put in a recording studio, so musicians could record records there. [had lived in New Orleans for five years and there's an amazing recording studio there called Kings Way, where all the musicians would come and they'd live in this big mansion and record their records, and I just thought that was a really neat thing for artists to get away and create their -- create whatever they're working on.
MORGAN NIGHT: Over the course of the build-out of all the trailers, theme trailers, which I'm a huge fan of this hotel called Madonna Inn, so I wanted to do really detailed, themed trailers. It became too expensive to just make a living off of a artist retreat so I decided, before I was done, to make it a hotel as well.
MS. VASQUEZ: And what were your job responsibilities, generally speaking, when you owned the Hicksville Trailer Palace?
MORGAN NIGHT: So, I would be live-in manager some nights, a couple nights a week, I would also drive out from Los Angeles twice a week and bring supplies that you can't get out in the Yucca Valley area and Joshua Tree. There's just a lot of things like, you know, Smart & Finals, Costcos, and stuff, so I would drive that stuff out. There's also no USPS, so sometimes I'd have to get things shipped to my house and drive them out as well. I would also just do — constantly building and creating new stuff for the Trailer Palace, whether it's new trailers or amenities. So I would be working on that stuff as well.
MORGAN NIGHT: I'ma big fan of the fact that Disneyland is always making it better and better.
MS. VASQUEZ: And when you were the live-in manager, does that mean that you spent the night at the Hicksville Trailer Palace?
MORGAN NIGHT: Yeah, we have a house on site where the recording studio was, and there's a bedroom in there. So whoever is live-in manager those nights stays in the house and basically lives there. There's a kitchen and everything.
MS. VASQUEZ: Have you ever met the plaintiff in this case, Mr. Depp?
MORGAN NIGHT: I had met him, really briefly, at the Viper Room in the late '90s. I worked with some of the people that performed there and was good friends with this girl, Robin, from the Pussycat Dolls, and some other friends and this band, The Imposters, so I was there and I met him once.
MS. VASQUEZ: How about Ms. Heard? Ever met her? 17. A Thad never met her before they were guests at the hotel.
MS. VASQUEZ: When was the first time you met Mr. Depp and Ms. Heard together? In late May 2013, when they were guests. Mr. Depp's assistant, Nathan, had rented out the entire place so they could have a night there in privacy.
MS. VASQUEZ: What do you recall, if anything, about Mr. Depp and Ms. Heard's arrival to the Hicksville Trailer Palace?
MORGAN NIGHT: Mr. Depp got lost, so his security guard, who arrived early, asked me if I could go fetch them because he had an old car that didn't really fare on the dirt roads out there, which are pretty horrible, so I went out and made sure that they got themselves and the car back to Hicksville safely.
MS. VASQUEZ: Do you remember, approximately, at what time that was?
MORGAN NIGHT: It was 3 to 4 in the afternoon.
MS. VASQUEZ: What was Mr. Depp’s demeanor when they first arrived?
MORGAN NIGHT: At Trailer Palace, he was super excited about the place. Really complimentary. Just had a lot of questions and just seemed like he was in a really great mood.
MS. VASQUEZ: And how about Ms. Heard's demeanor? SAAAA ONE And how about Ms. Heard's demeanor? Anything stick out?
MORGAN NIGHT: She was pretty quiet. She just kind of didn't say that much when I was giving them the tour of the grounds and the trailer.
MS. VASQUEZ: And was anyone else with Mr. Depp and Ms. Heard when they first arrived?
MORGAN NIGHT: There was people that were arriving throughout the afternoon, so there was —I think, 10 to 12 people total ended up staying. The security guard had gotten there earlier, just to check out the place. But, yeah.
MS. VASQUEZ: And did I misunderstand your testimony previously that the entire trailer park was rented out by Mr. Depp and Ms. Heard?
MORGAN NIGHT: Yeah. The whole place slept, I believe, at the time, about 25 people, but there were only 10 to 12 in this party.
MS. VASQUEZ: And who was part of that party, besides Mr. Depp and Ms. Heard?
MORGAN NIGHT: I'm really horrible with names. But I remember one of them was Ms. Heard's sister and the security guard I mentioned before. But I honestly forgot his name too.
MS. VASQUEZ: What happened when Mr. Depp and Ms. Heard first came onto the property?
MORGAN NIGHT: So, I gave them a tour, we give all guests a tour of their specific trailer and the grounds and show them around the -- when someone rents the whole place, they get another trailer called the bar trailer, which is basically a place to set up their alcohol and stuff, and some people in the group were just putting their beverages in that area.
MORGAN NIGHT: I didn't notice. Most of the time, my interactions with them -- everything is kind of centrally located, so there's a fire pit, bar trailer and picnic tables all right in the same area. So they were generally around that area the entire evening that I saw them.
MS. VASQUEZ: What did you observe of Mr. Depp and Ms. Heard as the evening progressed? Ms. Heard as the evening progressed?
MORGAN NIGHT: So, Mr. Depp was super — just super curious and really nice. He was also really interested in my innkeeper because she was a musician, so they would talk about music a lot. At one point, the innkeeper, who lived at the next-door property, went home and grabbed her guitar, and they sung a song or two around the - campfire in the early evening. There's another instance where Mr. Depp, the innkeeper, her name is Jenna, and myself were talking about books and music and Ms. Heard came over and kind of interjected. She seemed a little annoyed that Mr. Depp wasn't spending time with her.
MS. VASQUEZ: What about Ms. Heard's demeanor made you think that she was annoyed? 17. A I think, just generally, she — it's hard. Like she, I think — you know. It was just, like, a gut reaction. Like, I can't describe it. But, you know...
MS. VASQUEZ: How long were you with Mr. Depp and Ms. Heard that evening, generally? a - o to May 24, 2022
MORGAN NIGHT: So, throughout the course of the evening, I was probably 40 — mostly with Mr. Depp, but 45 minutes to an hour, total. So it was — yeah, that's over the whole course until the end of the night, after the check-in.
MS. VASQUEZ: Okay. And did you have an opportunity to observe Mr. Depp interact with other people, guests of the property that evening?
MORGAN NIGHT: Yes. I saw him hanging out with the security guard at one point. And outside of the time that him and Jenna were singing around the campfire, he was off by himself.a lot of the time, and Ms. Heard was over at the campfire with her friends and seemed to have a good time.
MS. VASQUEZ: And if you haven't already, can you generally describe for the jury your observations of Ms. Heard that evening?
MORGAN NIGHT: Yeah. She was —she seemed to be having a really nice time with her friends around the campfire, and, yeah, everyone was in a pretty good mood. O Did there come a time in the evening
MS. VASQUEZ: Did there come a time in the evening that you observed Mr. Depp and Ms. Heard have a disagreement or an argument?
MORGAN NIGHT: Yes. I was speaking with Mr. Depp, just one-on-one, talking about Hicksville, and Ms. Heard came over and she said that I want to talk to you and seemed really upset about something. So I went and — back in the house because it was really — they went off on their own and she — she started yelling at him, and I didn't want to hear if. It, honestly, was really triggering because I've been in a emotionally abusive relationship before —
MS. BREDEHOFT: Objection.
THE COURT: What's the objection?
MS. BREDEHOFT: Your Honor, may we approach?
THE COURT: Okay. Sure.
THE COURT: MS, BREDEHOFT: So, he's testified that she was yelling and he said he wanted to go away because he's been in an abusive relationship I MS, BREDEHOFT: before. Your Honor, that's not appropriate for the jury. It's nonresponsive to the question. It's prejudicial, and it's hearsay.
MS. VASQUEZ: Why is it hearsay?
THE COURT: It's not hearsay.
MS. BREDEHOFT: But it's nonresponsive to the statement.
THE COURT: Nonresponsive. I'll sustain as to the nonresponsive.
MS. VASQUEZ: Okay.
MORGAN NIGHT: Yes. So, Ms. Heard asked him to go talk off to the side, and she was upset with him, and she was yelling at him, and I personally had been —
MS. BREDEHOFT: Objection.
THE COURT: All right. I'll sustain the objection.
MORGAN NIGHT: Okay. QQ. If you could, just explain to the jury what you observed when you saw Mr. Depp and Ms. Heard having an argument.
MORGAN NIGHT: Okay.
MS. VASQUEZ: He was kind of cowering and seemed almost afraid, and it was really, like, odd to see because he was older than her, obviously, so, but, I just went back in the house because I didn't want to --
MS. BREDEHOFT: Objection. To what he did.
THE COURT: Allright. I'll sustain as to -
MS. VASQUEZ: Understood. QQ. So after you observed the argument, fair to say you went back to your house on the site?
MORGAN NIGHT: Yes, I did. Yeah.
MS. VASQUEZ: What happened after that?
MORGAN NIGHT: So when I saw Mr. Depp on my next rounds, he apologized profusely and said I'm really sorry about that. She was upset.
MS. BREDEHOFT: Objection, Your Honor. Hearsay.
THE COURT: Sustained. Next question.
MS. VASQUEZ: What, if any, type of reaction did Mr. Depp have?
MORGAN NIGHT: He was just really —
MS. BREDEHOFT: Objection, Your Honor. Hearsay. He's going to say it again.
MS. VASQUEZ: It's the reaction, it's not the statement.
THE COURT: Allright. If you can make that clear, that's fine.
MS. VASQUEZ: Yeah, just what type of physical reaction did Mr. Depp have after the argument between Mr. Depp and Ms. Heard?
MORGAN NIGHT: He honestly, throughout the rest of the night, became a lot more quiet and was just very -- more petulant. At the beginning of the night, he was a lot more outgoing and extroverted, and as the course of the night went on. he was and as the course of the night went on, he was less and less so and more quiet.
MS. VASQUEZ: Did you observe any of the guests consuming alcohol while on the property?
MORGAN NIGHT: I assume they were. I mean, people had cups and there was alcohol set up in the bar 6. trailer. But I didn't physically see them pour alcohol into their cup and cup go into their mouth, per se.
MS. VASQUEZ: Did you witness Mr. Depp drink any alcohol that evening?
MORGAN NIGHT: I couldn't say.
MS. VASQUEZ: Anything about Mr. Depp's demeanor that made you think he was, perhaps, intoxicated?
MORGAN NIGHT: Yes, as the night went on, he — I am a former bar owner, so even though I wasn't drinking that night, I'm very familiar with the signs. So just as the night went on, like I said, he became more and more quiet, but he also, as we would have conversations, his head would kind of sway a little bit back and forth, which was a little, you know, he was much less sharp than he was earlier in the night.
MS. VASQUEZ: Did Ms. Heard appear intoxicated to you?
MORGAN NIGHT: She did. She seemed -- I think when she was angry at him, it seemed like she was intoxicated, but that's just based on my experience and my own personal trauma dealing with abuse.
MS. BREDEHOFT: Objection. Your Honor. Move to strike.
THE COURT: Allright. I'll sustain the objection. We'll strike it from the record. Please disregard that testimony.
MS. VASQUEZ: Did you observe anyone do or take drugs?
MORGAN NIGHT: I did not.
MS. VASQUEZ: Did you witness Mr. Depp and Ms. Heard interact, other than the argument that you previously described for the jury?
MORGAN NIGHT: At the end of the night, I heard a commotion. I was inside the house and came out. I couldn't tell what was going on. And Mr. Depp and Ms. Heard were having a discussion about -- about - I'm not sure what, but then they went to their trailer. At that point, a lot of people had already gone to bed. So it just kind of petered out, everyone went to bed, including myself, and I didn't hear anything else the rest of the night.
MS. VASQUEZ: What time did the evening come to an end?
MORGAN NIGHT: I would say it was almost around 3 a.m.
MS. VASQUEZ: Did you ever see Mr. Depp grab anyone?
MS. BREDEHOFT: Objection. Leading.
THE COURT: Sustained.
MS. VASQUEZ: Did you ever see Mr. Depp become physical with anyone?
MS. BREDEHOFT: Objection. Leading.
THE COURT: Sustained. Next question. 17. Q Did you ever witness Mr. Depp get angry that evening?
MS. BREDEHOFT: Objection. Leading.
THE COURT: Sustained.
MS. VASQUEZ: What, if anything, happened the next morning? to 1) May 24, 2022
MORGAN NIGHT: The next morning, we have check-out at noon, at the time, before COVID, and so around 11:00, one of my innkeepers let me know that there was some damage —
MS. BREDEHOFT: Objection. Hearsay.
MS. VASQUEZ: Did something happen that caused you to go to Mr. Depp and Ms. Heard's trailer?
MORGAN NIGHT: Yes. I was informed that —
MS. BREDEHOFT: Objection. Hearsay.
MS. VASQUEZ: It's not being offered for the truth, Your Honor. mean, may we approach on this one topic?
THE COURT: Sure.
MS. VASQUEZ: Thank you.
MS. VASQUEZ: He needs to be able to testify that he was called or summoned to the trailer to observe the damage.
THE COURT: Okay.
MS. VASQUEZ: So he's just going to say that his innkeeper informed him that there was damage, he needed to go assess it. That's it. Not being offered for the truth.
MS. BREDEHOFT: It is offered for the 3. truth.
THE COURT: Don't you want to hear about damage?
MS. VASQUEZ: Don't you want that?
MS. BREDEHOFT: Yes.
THE COURT: Then let him tell them about the damage.
MS. BREDEHOFT: I'll withdraw.
MS. VASQUEZ: Thank you.
MS. VASQUEZ: Mostly original and restored, 1950s style, and so I was very concerned.
MS. VASQUEZ: So what did you observe when you went to the trailer?
MORGAN NIGHT: I observed that there was a light sconce by the bathroom in the bedroom that had been broken off the wall and a couple pieces were on the floor, and they were — and, yeah, it was basically just broken. The light fixture was hanging on the wall still, except for the pieces that were on the floor.
MS. VASQUEZ: Did you come to understand how that happened?
MS. BREDEHOFT: Objection. Foundation and --
THE COURT: Lay a foundation. I'll sustain as to foundation, how he knew.
MS. VASQUEZ: Did you ask how the sconce was broken?
MS. BREDEHOFT: Objection. Hearsay.
THE COURT: Sustained.
MS. VASQUEZ: How often do light fixtures in the trailers break?" "trailers break?
MORGAN NIGHT: They break pretty often. I mean, it's not like a usual thing, but things in the trailer generally get broken because it's all vintage trailers, and I would say as much as every couple weeks there's some incident of damage in one of the trailers. In this case, Mr. Depp had told me that —
MS. BREDEHOFT: Objection. Hearsay.
THE COURT: Sustain the objection. <A _ So, anyway, yes. 1} Q_ Beyond the light fixture, was anything else in the trailer damaged? 13. A No. Everything was fine. In fact, we have a — something we call a piggy fee that we address to guests that if there's anything, what we call, inconsiderate or unusually large messes, we charge them extra for it, for $25 an hour cleaning fee. But they did not receive one of those because everything, outside of the light fixture, looked fine.
MS. VASQUEZ: What was your reaction to seeing the damaged light fixture?
MORGAN NIGHT: To be honest, I was relieved because it was not a big deal. There was already another light in the room, so I just tucked the wires in the wall until I had, a few months later, time to buy —it was a matching sconce with another one in the room, so I had to, on eBay, find a matching pair that would fit there. And when I finally got around to it, I was able to get that and charge it to Nathan, whose credit card I had.
MS. VASQUEZ: And what was your understanding of who Nathan was?
MORGAN NIGHT: Mr. Depp's assistant. 13. Q = And what did you charge Nathan or Mr. Depp for replacing that pair of light fixtures? <A The pair came out to $62.
MS. VASQUEZ: While you were on site, Mr. Night, did you ever wear a mesh shirt?
MORGAN NIGHT: No. I would absolutely never wear that.
MS. VASQUEZ: At any time during Mr. Depp and Ms. Heard's stay on the property, did you see Mr. Depp become physical with anyone?
MS. BREDEHOFT: Objection. Leading,
THE COURT: Overruled. That's fine.
MS. VASQUEZ: I'I'm sorry, that answer was?
MORGAN NIGHT: I never saw Mr. Depp get physical with anyone when I saw him.
MS. VASQUEZ: Thank you, Your Honor. No further questions.
THE COURT: All right. Cross-examination.
MS. BREDEHOFT: Thank you, Your Honor.
MS. BREDEHOFT: Mr. Night, you are a pretty big fan of Johnny Depp, aren't you?
MORGAN NIGHT: I am not. To be honest, throughout the — evening, I —
MS. BREDEHOFT: Sorry, I just asked you one question.
MORGAN NIGHT: Oh, I apologize.
MS. BREDEHOFT: We don't need the rest of that.
MORGAN NIGHT: Sorry.
MS. BREDEHOFT: You wanted to participate in this trial, didn't you?
MORGAN NIGHT: I did not.
MS. BREDEHOFT: You knew --
MORGAN NIGHT: I was asked by the attorney, and I wanted to — they asked me and J said I'll be happy to come and tell the truth.
MS. BREDEHOFT: You knew this was on camera, that it was being broadcast to a lot of people, and you saw testimony, did you not, in this case, and you seized the moment and responded to the Umbrella Guy, the lead person for Mr. Depp's Twitters; did you not?
MS. VASQUEZ: Objection. Your Honor. Argumentative. Compound.
THE COURT: Overruled. 17. A The Umbrella Guy is the lead — the lead what?
MS. BREDEHOFT: You know that he is one of the most predominant pro-Depp Twitters out there?
MORGAN NIGHT: I have no idea. I don't care or follow the Umbrella Guy. the Umbrella Guy.
MS. BREDEHOFT: In fact, you do follow a Twitter called "Johnny Depp Fan," don't you?
MORGAN NIGHT: Absolutely not.
MS. BREDEHOFT: You don't? That's your testimony under oath?
MORGAN NIGHT: No.
MS. BREDEHOFT: That's your testimony under oath?
MORGAN NIGHT: It is my testimony under oath. On April 21st, Mr. Depp testified in this case about Hicksville, didn't he?
MORGAN NIGHT: I wasn't here,
MS. BREDEHOFT: And, in fact, you tweeted, in response to the Umbrella Guy, on April 21, '22, "that never happened, I was with him all night. Amber was the one acting all jealous and crazy"?
MORGAN NIGHT: Yes,I- 17. Q Do you recall that in there?
MORGAN NIGHT: I do recall that.
MS. BREDEHOFT: Michelle, can you bring that up, please. We're going to call it Defendant's 1903.
THE COURT: 1903. May 24, 2022
MS. BREDEHOFT: And I'm going to go — ahead and ask you to redact, leave in The Umbrella Guy [sic] and the date, and the bringing in the Hicksville. Your Honor, I'm sorry.
MS. BREDEHOFT: While she's working on that, did you write and direct a piece called Matters of Consequence, back in 1999?
MORGAN NIGHT: I did.
MS. BREDEHOFT: And didn't Mr. Depp's first wife, Lori Anne Allison work as a makeup artist on that? 12. A _ She absolutely did.
MS. BREDEHOFT: While we're looking at that, four days after you tweeted to umbrella man --
MORGAN NIGHT: I thought it was Umbrella Guy?
MS. BREDEHOFT: Umbrella guy, okay. Well, all right, now, we have this up. I'm going to ask you to take a look at what is Defendant's Exhibit 1903. Do you see that?
MORGAN NIGHT: I do. Okay. And that's from That Umbrella Guy
MS. BREDEHOFT: Okay. And that's from That Umbrella Guy on 4/21/22, correct?
MORGAN NIGHT: Correct.
MS. BREDEHOFT: And it says "bringing in the Hicksville incident accusations.” Do you see that?
MORGAN NIGHT: I do.
MS. BREDEHOFT: There's clearly Mr. Depp testifying there, likely a video, right?
MORGAN NIGHT: Okay.
MS. BREDEHOFT: And you respond "That never happened. I was with them all night. Amber was the one acting all jealous and crazy." Do you see that?
MORGAN NIGHT: I do.
MS. BREDEHOFT: Your Honor, I'm going to move the admission of Defendant's 1903.
THE COURT: Any objection?
MS. VASQUEZ: Yeah, Your Honor, we believe the first part of That Umbrella Guy's tweet should be unredacted for context.
MORGAN NIGHT: I have no idea what I was replying to.
MS. BREDEHOFT: It's hearsay It's rank hearsay and the context is --
MS. VASQUEZ: Your Honor --
THE COURT: Approach.
MS. VASQUEZ: There's more to -- I mean, she can't argue hearsay for part of the tweet and not the other part of the tweet.
THE COURT: You should give all of it.
MS. VASQUEZ: Or none of it.
THE COURT: The objection to hearsay in bringing the Hicksville incident, or if you want to bring all of it in, that's fine.
MS. BREDEHOFT: Then let's take out bringing in the Hicksville.
THE COURT: That's part of the response.
MS. BREDEHOFT: I need The Umbrella Guy in and Mr. Depp's picture. All of that can come in, right?
THE COURT: Well, the picture can come in.
MS. BREDEHOFT: And That Umbrella Guy?
MS. BREDEHOFT: And That Umbrella Guy?

MS. VASQUEZ: No, Your Honor. Thank you.
THE COURT: So that will be in evidence as redacted.
MS. BREDEHOFT: Now,so you reached out to the Umbrella Guy in this text, this Twitter, right?

MS. BREDEHOFT: And, in fact, The Umbrella Guy is in Mr. Adam Waldman -- do you know who Adam Waldman is?
MORGAN NIGHT: I have no idea
MS. BREDEHOFT: Well, he's testified earlier that he talks to the Umbrella Guy.
MORGAN NIGHT: That he what? That he talks to the Umbrella Guy?
MS. BREDEHOFT: Right. Are you aware of that?
MORGAN NIGHT: Honestly, this sounds like schizophrenia?
MS. BREDEHOFT: Now, four days after this event, where you texted --
MS. BREDEHOFT: Your Honor, it's in. Okay. Good.
MS. BREDEHOFT: Four days after that, you tweeted something pretty nasty about Elon Musk, didn't you?

MORGAN NIGHT: After that — mostly Mr. Depp, but that's after the tour and after they were checked in, throughout the course of the night.
MS. BREDEHOFT: Okay. And you don't recall any of the people that were there, other than Ms. Heard's sister and the security guard, correct?
MORGAN NIGHT: I don't recall any of their names.

MORGAN NIGHT: I believe it was predominantly female.
MS. BREDEHOFT: Do you remember how many males were there? 17. A _ I don't, outside of the security guard.
MS. BREDEHOFT: Do you remember what any of the other people looked like? They honestly just seemed like youngish hipsters, for lack of a better term. I know that previously, a couple of them had staved at OIA NM AWD previously, a couple of them had stayed at Hicksville Trailer Palace; that's how they knew about the place.

MS. BREDEHOFT: Okay. Do you -- is it your testimony that Mr. Depp and Ms. Heard went last to their trailer, everybody else went before them? 11. A They all, the rest of the people, I think about half of them had already gone to bed and they went — they went, I can't — it was all around the same time at the end of the night that the rest kind of scattered. There might have been couple of people that went right after them or right before, but it was all around the same time.
