RobNox Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I have to admit, I thought it might go the other way given that it would only take one jury member to buy her story sufficiently to prevent an unanimous decision. I only delved into occasional snippets of the coverage, but thought that his testimony in the main sounded a lot more plausible than hers. I found it odd that despite claiming she had been a victim of domestic abuse for 5 years and producing a variety of photos, tape recordings and video footage to use against him, she never managed to capture a single piece of evidence of him actually committing an act of violence against her.

Locky Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Delighted for Depp. Don't think people realise just how big a case this was. It wasn't just about 2 celebrities airing their dirty laundry for money and publicity. Depp winning is a victory for dare I say men as a whole. There's plenty real victims of domestic and sexual abuse, but there's plenty cases where a woman fabricates such claims for whatever reason, particularly where a celebrity or person of influence is involved. She was an open book about what apparently happened, but I don't recall if she's ever tried to make a criminal claim against Depp for apparently battering and sexually abusing her which is a bit of an alarm bell right away. Also, didn't Depp initiate all this trial? Why would a man take someone to court to clear their name if they were guilty of what they knew would come out in the open? This ultimately made Depp, but could've totally ended him if it didn't go to plan. Can only assume he's been honest and lived in the hope that justice would be served. These 2 are professional actors so I always tried not to read too much into their emotions as I'm sure they're capable of conveying whatever they want, but Depp did strike me as more sincere. Looked like a man who was just so deflated and fed up of everything that's gone on and you can't blame the guy. Whereas she just came across increasingly desperate to win the jury over with her sob stories. We'll never know what really did go on behind closed doors and I'm sure Depp isn't squeaky clean, but clearly the vast majority see through her claims as pure lies which says it all really. And as I said earlier in the thread, that irks me because making false claims of domestic and sexual abuse is a huge slap in the face to true victims of such deplorable acts when it is already hard enough for people to speak up and be taken seriously when reporting them. In a nutshell, **** you Amber Heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure tbh, but as a guess, I’d say that from the courts perspective, Depp’s lawyer and Depp himself is treated one and the same.

Yeh, that's my take on it as well, this lawyer was employed by Depp to speak for Depp, therefore anything he says comes back to Depp. I'd expect Depp to now try and sue the lawyer for damages.

In a nutshell, **** you Amber Heard. The other red flag for me, was when Heard's lawyers desperately tried everything in their power to stop the cameras being in court, and have the trial effectively held behind closed doors. I'd have thought it would have suited Heard to expose Depp as an abuser live in front of the millions watching the trial, of course if Heard was telling lies then the danger is that it would be her who is exposed to the watching public.

It does people who have suffered domestic violence no good to have someone lose a high visibility case so publicly and lie/embellish so much on the stand. They know it will make some people less likely to believe their own instances of DV, and victims also less likely to come forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, unfortunately a lot of these media outlets seem to be blaming Depp for setting back the #metoo and victims of DV, instead of focusing on Heard. These media outlets were quick to judge Depp when the allegations were first made, and now they can't back down from that position without admitting they were wrong.

Der Kaiser Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 My gut feeling is that... *Their relationship was extremely troubled and toxic at times. *Heard wrote that article and embellished A LOT of the events *Heard did not expect Depp to pursue the libel case against her particularly due to the recent surge of the metoo movement. She would be seen as a crusader for women and ultimately strengthen her profile and employability as an actress. *In court Heard did not seem credible at all. She looked like a very bad actress on the stand trying too hard to convince the jury of a story she had made up herself. *Her legal team were awful and made her look even less credible. *She deserved to lose the case against her and many of the stories she made about Depp were untrue. Just my own feelings garnered from what I have watched and read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
