If they rule that Heard did defame Depp with actual malice and caused the damages he claims, then Depp would get money on top of satisfaction.” The jury is also deciding on Heard’s $100 million counterclaim: That three statements made in the media by an attorney working for Depp, Adam Waldman, hurt her reputation and career by dismissing her allegations as false. “While they’ve been prohibited from accessing social media and media coverage, the frenzy at the courthouse alone is enough for them to understand that the world is watching,” she said. “The gendered distribution of the jury makes that even more interesting.” “One challenge that they are likely facing is staying focused on the case at hand without allowing all of their own lived experiences and biases to lead them to a snap judgment that is not supported by the testimony.

Courtroom porn and social media have turned innocent bystanders into a mass of mudslingers.
I wasn’t surprised that the memes about Amber Heard far outnumbered those about Johnny Depp. I wasn’t surprised that the cruel and vitriolic discourse was predominantly aimed at the woman. And the queasier I felt about this behavior—even if millions of others were doing the same—the more I came to realize that distortion, not objectivity, has evolved into an acceptable lingua franca. This blurring of public figures and private lives can do a number on us—as bystanders, as an audience. What’s more, we have become so attuned to this narrow, cynical cycle of social media encounters that we consider the trial not tragic or pathetic, but as a pure car wreck: accessible, tawdry, and immediately gratifying. It’s like going to the opera and reading a couple of translated supertitles but not understanding Italian. And despite whatever else this is, it is a soap opera. As we all do nowadays, we watch or we read or we media-graze about these private turned public spectacles in bits and bytes, fearing that the sheer rancor and vulgarity might leave a kind of virtual stench—or, in my case, worrying that prolonged viewing might be triggering.

The jury in the bitter defamation trial between "Pirates of the Caribbean" star Johnny Depp and his ex-wife Amber Heard concluded deliberations for the day on Tuesday without reaching a verdict.
The waiting continued Tuesday at the Fairfax County Courthouse, but some Johnny Depp fans are sticking around to show their loyalty to the actor.
Fans debated whether they would commit to spending Wednesday at the courthouse. Depp’s daily appearance in the courthouse has led to a circus outside of it. “I’m going to stay here only because I wanted to say hello — they’re going to leave after the verdict,” she said. “I’m here to support him and hope he gets the verdict he deserves.” A handful of fans and curious observers sat in the hallway outside courtroom 5J, where the seven-week trial has been taking place, and compared notes on what they knew about Depp’s status. Someone set up a cluster of microphones in front of the courthouse in case the verdict is reached, and the attorneys want to have a news conference.

Mr Depp is suing Ms Heard in Virginia's Fairfax County Circuit Court over a December 2018 op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post, describing herself as victim of domestic abuse.
The jury making the decision in Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's libel trial emerged to ask the judge a question as deliberations continued on Tuesday.
According to Deadline, Judge Azacarate said: ‘I think the confusion came in this particular one because the statement in question is the title of the op-ed, so I think they are confused as to whether it is the whole op-ed or the title is the statement. The article – which featured the headline: ‘I spoke up against sexual violence — and faced our culture’s wrath. Judge Azcarate said she would tell the jury that the headline was the statement they should consider to reach their verdict.
A jury finished a second day of deliberations Tuesday without reaching a verdict in the defamation claims of Johnny Depp and ex-wife Amber Heard.
During his testimony, Depp testified that he never struck Heard, that she concocted the abuse allegations, and that she was the one who physically attacked him, multiple times. Heard testified that Depp physically or sexually assaulted her more than a dozen times. Each accuses the other of destroying their career. The judge told Depp's attorneys in court that she would not entertain the motion because the case is in the hands of the jury now. In their written motion, Depp's attorneys said Heard's lawyer told the jury that its decision in the case would send a message to “every victim of domestic abuse everywhere.” Heard attorney Benjamin Rottenborn told the jury that a ruling against Heard “sends a message that no matter what you do as an abuse victim, you always have to do more.” Jurors then deliberated another seven hours on Tuesday. They are scheduled to resume deliberations Wednesday in Fairfax County Circuit Court.
Heard told the jury that she'd noticed a tattoo on her husband's arm. It was old and faded and she couldn't make it out, she said. He told her it said “Wino ...
She said that eventually there were so many coins in the piggy bank that it was too heavy to move and she had to stay. She alleged that Johnny had been on a rampage, that the rampage had resulted in a lot of broken bottles. The loudest theory in the court of public opinion, it appeared, is that she was a manipulative liar and Johnny was railroaded. She said that each act of violence felt like a coin she was depositing into a piggy bank, an investment in their future relationship. That it had to get better because she didn’t see how it could get worse. It meant that domestic violence was messy and nuanced and often contradictory and confusing. I watched part of the trial with my mother, who spent many years as a marital and family therapist and whose clients had encompassed both victims and perpetrators of domestic violence. He appeared bewildered by his entire relationship with Heard. “It was rapid fire, an endless parade of insults, and you know, looking at me like I was a fool,” he said, seeming despondent. Gawking and thrilling at celebrities’ dirty laundry is a well-honed spectator sport, but throughout the trial, I kept reading coverage that was tonally a mess: The Daily Beast turned the most incendiary allegations into cheeky bullet points — “The Poop-On-The-Bed Fiasco,” “The Headbutt” — as if detailing a reality-show highlight reel rather than the dissolution of someone’s life and marriage. Watching this trial has felt alternatingly prurient and surreal, the kind of trial in which Marilyn Manson is casually listed as a Thanksgiving dinner guest at one of Johnny Depp’s penthouses. That one of their dogs must have pooped on the bed, because seriously, she said, what 30-something woman would do that? Certainly I knew about it, as would any self-respecting elder millennial weaned on “Edward Scissorhands” and the tabloid magazines of the 1990s.
