Depp / Heard trial: a juror recounts the underside of the deliberations

by time news


On knows a little more about the causes of the conviction of Amber Heard in her highly publicized trial against Johnny Depp. One of the seven members of the jury has decided to sit down to eat on the show Good Morning America, on ABC, an anonymous but very precise testimony on the feelings of the group vis-a-vis the avalanches of testimonies heard during six weeks. And the least we can say is that they were hardly convinced by the legal team of Amber Heard and by the attitude of the latter, especially when he happened to cry in front of the camera.

“We had the impression that she was able to activate her emotions with the snap of her fingers,” said the member of the jury. She was answering a question, she was crying, and two seconds later she was freezing. There was nothing natural about it… Some of us used the expression crocodile tears. On the other hand, the jury found Johnny Depp’s attitude more credible. “He seemed more natural in the way he answered questions. He was more emotionally balanced…”

On the issue of domestic violence, the jury found that they were both aggressive towards each other, but Heard’s team failed to prove Johnny Depp’s physical abuse. “They had their arguments between husband and wife, they were both yelling at each other,” said the juror. But there was insufficient, if any, evidence to support what she was claiming. “And to explain the doubts of the jury:” If you are beaten, why buy a knife for the other person, the aggressor? And if you really want to help Johnny Depp get off drugs, why are you taking them with him? »

The evidence provided by Amber Heard was also not considered convincing. Like these photographs taken by the actress showing her ex-husband in a decrepit state after excessive consumption of drugs or alcohol. “If you mix alcohol with marijuana, that’s how you might end up: completely broke. We talked at length about all the drugs she said she saw him take, and most of them were drugs that knock you out. And you don’t get violent with those drugs. You become a zombie, as these shots show…”

Doubts and lies

Photos of the actress with bruises or bruises have also been viewed with a great deal of suspicion, including two of them, as they appeared to be airbrushed or doctored. “We couldn’t really tell which image was real and which wasn’t,” the juror continued. For him, Amber Heard’s defense also failed by claiming that the actress “never went out without makeup”. “But to apply for a restraining order in court, she does not wear makeup and her publicist is with her. These things add up and eventually become hard to believe…”

And it is ultimately on her inconsistencies or her few lies that Amber Heard lost the trust of the jury, especially when she claimed to have given the divorce money to associations (7 million dollars) when she did not only made a few payments. “A fiasco, recognized the witness. The thing is, she didn’t give much, it was dishonest…”

The juror concludes by saying that they were in no way influenced by social networks or support campaigns organized by fans, contrary to what Amber Heard and her team claim. “Neither of us were really fans of either. Social networks have not influenced us. We only looked at the evidence… There were serious charges and a lot of money at stake. We didn’t take it lightly…”
