Motion to Intervene - Depp Trial Attorney Analysis Part 2 - Morgan Tremaine, Unexpected Good Guy

In this series, we're going to look at Morgan Tremaine, one of the Day 22 "randos" who absolutely obliterated Amber Heard's credibility, and why his testimony might provide the best grounds yet for charging her with perjury. "Spicy Draco" the paparazzi dispatcher from TMZ isn't necessarily who you'd expect to be the surprise hero of a celebrity trial, but in just over fifteen minutes on the stand, he exposed the workings of her DV hoax and drew a roadmap for the perjury case against her.

In Part 2, we examine TMZ's motion to intervene, which was ostensibly filed to prevent Spicy D from testifying. Judge Azcarate maintained a poker face during the oral arguments, but it was clear that she wasn't buying intervention. Did TMZ even want to win, or was the whole thing just a show, taking a dive?
