14 DAY TRIAL // This week a video of Justin Bieber’s deposition in his most recent case was made available to the public by unknown sources. The media got a hold of it and, after careful viewing, released a 4-minute long clip with all the best “highlights.”
Most people who watched the video in its entirety later claimed on social media and in comments that they felt the unresisting urge to reach through their computer screen and slap some decency and common sense into the 20-year-old.
Admittedly, it’s very hard to remain reserved after watching the 4-minute video of the pop singer making a mockery of the entire proceedings and proving to the world once and for all that he doesn't care about the legal system in America.
The public caught its first glimpse of just how arrogant Justin could be when he was arrested at the beginning of last month in Miami for DUI, drag racing and driving with an expired license. As media outlets from all over the world scrambled to show footage from the police facility where he was kept, Bieber smiled in his mugshot like he was posing for an album cover.
Later, while clad in an orange jumpsuit given out detainees being processed and inmates in American jails, Justin appeared on camera in front of a judge. Still, the attitude was there. Even as the judge was busy setting the bail and making appointments for a court hearing and his legal team was busy thanking His Honor, the Canadian crooner held his head high and maintained a look of scorn as if he was staring down an army of detractors.
But in this week’s video of the deposition, Bieber sure did manage to outdo himself. He sabotaged the entire deposition by acting bratty, mocking the lawyer questioning him, acting stupid, repeating questions and plain ignoring queries he didn’t like.
Clearly confident in his legal team, Bratty Bieber smiled and winked at the camera, arranging the collar of his shirt in a manner reminiscent of his music videos over which many teenage girls swoon. Sadly, he didn’t have the same effect on the attorneys present there.
Best of all, Justin also got his moment of glory, when he stormed out of the deposition, huffing and puffing like a child who didn’t get his cookie at the mention of Selena Gomez’ name. His legal team took him out of the room for a breather when he began waving a threatening finger at the man who asked him if he had ever been violent in front of his ex-girlfriend, while he kept repeating “don’t ask me about her again.”
The entire hearing is linked to an assault case in which Justin is being accused he told his bodyguard to attack a photographer that he said was bothering him. The photographer’s lawyer didn’t know what he was getting himself into when he signed on to defend the alleged victim of the case, because Justin was the very definition of “uncooperative witness.”
When he didn’t like the question, he just smiled, raised his hands in dismissal and triumphantly said “guess what? I don’t recall.”
He didn’t even shy away from calling the entire set of questions an interview on “60 Minutes” and then smartly adding to the interrogating lawyer “What’s your question Katie Couric,” referring to the famous interviewer journalist.
After the video came out, most people blasted Bieber but there were also those loyal fans who stuck up for him, giving him probable causes to do what he did and act the way he behaved. However, it’s safe to say that Justin didn’t make any additional friends with this deposition.
And when you take into consideration the fact that there was actually a petition that reached the White House asking the President to deport him back to Canada, you understand why his former neighbors in Los Angeles offered to pay for his moving and why people in Atlanta revolted when it was rumored that he was moving to their neighborhood.
If things will continue on their current path, it won’t be long until Justin Bieber alienates his entire fan base and puts an abrupt and untimely end to his music career.
