dealt with the same substantive issues, held differently by a judge instead of a jury. johnny depp sued the sun, a british tabloid, over an article they published describing him as a wife beater. the case went to trial to use ago in the uk. there were no cameras in court. the judge in that case found that most of amber heard s allegations of abuse were substantially true. johnny depp has lost his legal battle with a british tabloid. we prevailed, overwhelmingly. the jury in the u.s. trial was not allowed to hear about that judgment. amber says that by the time she got up to tell her side of the story i do. the core of public opinion here had already turned against her. after three and a half weeks, i took the stand and saw the courtroom packed full of captain jack sparrow fans who were vocal, energized and have come from all ends of the world. we have been here all night
newspaper was awarded the right to call him a wife beater. so this raises the possibility that in fact, johnny depp was an abuser who has effectively used for the courts to sue amber heard for defamation this is a possibility. so that opens up a couple worrying things one, the other abusers, ifjohnny depp is, will have the possibility of continuing their abuse through the course by suing their alleged victims for defamation, and it might discourage victims from coming forward. so that s how i find the verdict. but as for the general reaction to the trial itself, that goes above and beyond the verdict. the efforts to humiliate amber heard were industrial, they were all over
she did it recklessly. that is a huge bar for she did it recklessly. that is a huge barfor you she did it recklessly. that is a huge bar for you to she did it recklessly. that is a huge barfor you to climb over in america. in america liable cases tend not to be very successful because there is the protection of free speech. also remember, johnny depp lost his case two years ago in the uk. that wasn t him versus heard, that was him versus the british tabloid the sun put up with her son had accused him of being a wife beater. in the end the judge her son had accused him of being a wife beater. in the end thejudge in that case ruled that a lot of the allegations that amber heard made against him, she was a witness in a particular trial in the uk were substantially true. but here in america he has won that case and it is a real rejection of the accounts of abuse that amber heard said she suffered in that merits. total victory forjohnny depp. thank you, we will come victory forjohnny depp
