The Johnny Depp-Amber Heard defamation trial comes to a close Friday after six weeks of testimony.
Vasquez said Heard did not seek medical treatment after this alleged attack, and that the actress was the actual “monster” in that house. Chew admitted that Depp has said he does use drugs and alcohol, and is known for being chronically late to set. That has to change.” He pointed out that the op-ed doesn’t actually describe any of the alleged abusive acts that Heard testified to during the trial. Judge Penney Azcarate said there “appears to be an Amber Alert” and the phones eventually quieted, after which Rottenborn continued. Rottenborn also presented photographs of a seemingly passed out Depp, and various messages from Depp to his friends in which he writes that he needs to stop drinking. The employee testified that they were able to publish the video of Depp destroying the cabinets in 15 minutes, but Rottenborn said Heard was on a flight during that time. He also played audio in which Depp referred to Heard as a “f---ing c---,” and the video Heard shot in which Depp slams cabinet doors, breaking them, and pours a large glass of wine. “It’s not about whether you think Ms. Heard may have been abusive to Mr. Depp.” “We’re asking you to finally hold this man responsible,” Bredehoft said. Amber Heard’s countersuit revolved around several statements to the media characterizing her claims as a hoax. Depp’s attorneys suggest that Heard was abusive to him, rather than the other way around.

"Your verdict must be based solely upon the evidence and instructions of the court. No matter who you tell, you always have to tell more people. "On May 27, 2016 Ms. Heard walked into a courthouse in Los Angeles, California, to get a no notice, ex-parte restraining order against Mr. Depp and in doing so, ruined his life by falsely telling the world that she was a survivor of domestic abuse at the hands of Mr. Depp," Vasquez said.

"I felt the full force of our culture's wrath for women who speak out," she wrote. then Amber wins," he said.

Closing arguments ask jurors to consider what their verdict in defamation case will mean for domestic abuse victims.
“What we have is a mountain of unproved allegations that are wild, over the top, and implausible,” Vasquez said. “She came into this courtroom ready to give the performance of her lifetime … and she gave it.” Chew added that Depp was a supporter of the #MeToo movement. “Take a minute to really think about what you heard there,” Vasquez asked the jury. You either believe all of it, or none of it.” It wasn’t immediately clear when the jury may return a verdict.

Depp believed Heard was a "nag" for questioning the use of drugs and alcohol, Rottenborn said. "She wants you to believe she was abused countless times over the course of their relationship. "Imagine someone actually thinking that maybe the impact of alcohol and cocaine is ruining their relationship," Rottenborn said. "The lies have grown and metastasized over time," Chew said. These were the words of "America's favorite pirate," Rottenborn said. "That's what he said at the beginning of their relationship." "He expects you to believe him that he didn't have anything to drink on that plane except for maybe on thing of champagne, that's what he expect you to believe," Rottenborn said. "The witnesses Mr. Depp has paraded up here, we're here in person," Rottenborn said. "He blamed everybody in the world: his agent, his manager, his lawyer, Amber, his friends," Bredehoft said. "This was Johnny Depp's best friend of 40 years, until he testified truthfully four years about the drugs and alcohol and [Depp] stopped talking to him." "The exact opposite of this."

He added: “This trial is about so much more than Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. It’s about freedom of speech. “There is an abuser in this courtroom but it is not Mr Depp. There is a victim of domestic abuse in this courtroom, but it is not Ms Heard.” “What Ms Heard testified to in this courtroom is a story of far too many women, but the overwhelming evidence and weight of that evidence is that it is not her story. Instead, Depp could potentially be ordered to pay his ex-wife $100 million, which she has demanded in a countersuit which she launched in which she claimed that Depp spearheaded a campaign to discredit her, label her allegations as “fake” and a “hoax”, and harming her career and reputation. “In doing so ruined his life by falsely telling the world that she was a survivor of domestic abuse at the hands of Mr Depp,” she said. In her closing remarks, Depp’s lawyer, Camille Vasquez, said the “mountain” of evidence that Depp assaulted his former partner was “simply not there”.

And she could also go on talk shows to discuss her experience after going through two trials. I need him on his best behaviour and he gets one shot.” “He went into this knowing that all of this was going to come out,” Ahouraian said. And while they aren’t going to make him the loveable hero in the next movie, they could make him the hateable villain or the loveable villain.” Whether or not he wins — I don’t think it matters to him or even to the court of public opinion,” Lizardo said.
