In the The long-running trial of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard is coming to an end. The court decision was expected yesterday but the jurors are meeting from Friday, and the final verdict is expected later in the day. Following the disagreement of the 7 jurors, last week the decision is expected to be issued today, in Virginia. For 6 weeks, the trial was broadcast live and managed to become the… absolute reality show.
It should be noted that outside the court, fans of both Johnny Depp and Amber Heard gathered daily to express their support for the two actors.
The two sides have clashed several times during the trial. But what do they support?
Amber Heard’s side
Her side Amber Heard argues that even if one of the allegations she made against her ex-husband is true then Johnny Depp should be convicted stressing that a possible conviction of the actress will give women who are experiencing domestic violence the right to go out and talk to hear their voice.
Johnny Depp’s side
His side Johnny Depp says that since Amber Heard lied (during the trial, some of what she said was dropped) and the first amendment to the US Constitution does not protect people who slander, her professional prestige has been “struck” and demands compensation of $ 50 million.
How the trial of Golgotha began
The Golgotha of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard began after the divorce of the once beloved couple, when she wrote an article in the Washington Post, in 2018 where she described herself as a public figure representing domestic violence. Although she did not name Johnny Depp, he sued her for defamation, denying that he had beaten her. Herd then sued, asking for $ 100 million after Depp’s lawyer said the actress was lying.
What will happen if Amber Heard loses the trial?
But what will happen if he loses her trial Amber Heard and accused of forgery? According to the report of Studio 4 show, and as mentioned by the lawyer Kathryn Lazardo, the forgery in Virginia is considered a fifth class crime and thus it can be reduced to a misdemeanor, so it does not risk imprisonment. It is at the discretion of the court which will decide whether to pay the $ 50 million compensation to Johnny Depp. However, there is also the case that the jurors are not convinced either on the one hand or on the other and that no one is compensated.
