Your whole story may be 100% on point, but there is one tiny problem.

Amber is a sociopath. She's also a martyr and about 8 other things I won't go into.

Not that Johnny is more than a weirdo with a crazy haircut at this point. Don't get me wrong, but that dumpster fire of a trial did not go her way because she's more broken and completely unsympathetic.

He was honest and self deprecating, she was over the top.

And again, she is sociopath.
