VERDICT WATCH VA - Johnny Depp's defamation case against ex Amber Heard, who countersued #10

[wasnt_me]

So EB, in closing arguments, said the counterclaim was to "fight back." Really??????

I am still waiting on a public statement from the ACLU.
Spokesperson issues much?

They posted this on their website on May 18. Right in the middle of this trial. Before that I had thought that perhaps they would cut ties with her after the trial ended, especially if JD wins his case. This looks like a pretty clear message of support for her.

During the current defamation lawsuit between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, some have claimed that the ACLU made Ms. Heard an ambassador for gender justice and wrote an op-ed on her behalf in exchange for her pledge to donate money to the ACLU. This is wrong. We do not write op-eds or offer ambassadorships in exchange for donations. Period. Becoming an ACLU Artist Ambassador is entirely voluntary; it is a favor to the ACLU, not vice versa.

In 2016, Ms. Heard pledged to donate $3.5 million over 10 years to the ACLU. Two years later, in 2018, the ACLU invited Ms. Heard to become an ambassador and to work with us on an op-ed to bring attention to the issue of sexual assault and domestic violence issues; she agreed. Through her ambassadorship, Ms. Heard supported our advocacy for gender justice issues, a cause that has long been central to our mission at least since Ruth Bader Ginsburg headed the ACLU’s Women’s Rights Project.

They won’t say anything until the jury made their decision.

Anyone know how you determine damages?

Here are some links that give an overview of Virginia law re: defamation in general, and specifically on the internet

Title 8.01. Civil Remedies and Procedure

I wonder if they’ll lose donations? People have not been impressed with what they have found out…

Going back to the smashing cabinets incident… what was JD so irate about? I cannot remember? It had to do with his work/finances, but I don’t remember specifics. You would think if he really was an abuser, he would have clocked in the head with that magnum wine bottle after everything she was putting him through.

OMG I JUST SPIT MY WINE OUT! LOL

Heck they should give JD 100 million just to "send a message".

I think it was that he found out his friend and lawyer were swindling him, and if I remember correctly, Amber was across the street in one of the houses at the end of the cal du sac and she came over there and set up that camera while in he was in the middle of being upset. She wasn't even supposed to be in that house.

AH is not only woman who ever left JD

Exactly. I was just thinking about what a liar Rotten-borg is. Guess he falls right in line with AH.

 

[they'll get you]

I assure you he would donate it all!

DBM. Already answered by wasnt_me

 

[neesaki]

It will be a historic moment if the jury decides JD.

Only because AH is a woman she will win.

I WILL CRY.

Same here. I will cry, and probably never watch another trial. Didn’t think I’d ever watch another trial after Casey Anthony. Then I caved in and followed the Jodi Arias trial. At least she was convicted.

I can’t take another injustice or disappointment like the CA verdict, or if this one goes south. But that’s just me. I for sure could never have been a lawyer.

So, I've tried my best not to name call or mock Amber, but dam that's just too funny.

His mom passed evening before the cabinets.

 

[neesaki]

I think it may be the judge wanting to let her staff go home and get some probably much needed rest.

Also, being a holiday weekend, some of the jurors might have family plans / obligations.

 

[wasnt_me]

His mom passed evening before the cabinets.

They said the cabinets happened February 8 or 10th. I can't recall the year. His mom died in May. She died May 20th, and he went to the penthouse May 21st, so the cabinet event could NOT have happened in between because he hadn't seen Amber for a month before he arrived at the penthouse that evening.

 

[neesaki]

They wanted to in rebuttal, but the defense withdrew whatever witness the plaintiff was planning to use their witness in rebuttal for.

I hadn’t heard this. Was it stated in the court room?

 

[Warwick7]

Has anyone here taken a vote.

How many for Depp?

How many for Heard?
