Juror in Johnny Depp Trial Says Amber Heard’s Testimony ‘Didn’t Add Up’, Jury Believed She Was ‘the Aggressor’​

US actress Amber Heard waits before the jury said that they believe she defamed ex-husband Johnny Depp, while announcing split verdicts in favor of both her ex-husband Johnny Depp and Heard on their claim and counter-claim in the Depp v. Heard civil defamation trial at the Fairfax County Circuit Courthouse in Fairfax, Virginia, on June 1, 2022. - A US jury on Wednesday found Johnny Depp and Amber Heard defamed each other, but sided far more strongly with the Pirates of the Caribbean star following an intense libel trial involving bitterly contested allegations of sexual violence and domestic abuse.

A juror from the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard defamation trial spoke for the first time about the jury’s decision to side with Depp in an interview Thursday with Good Morning America.
The male juror — GMA did not reveal his name or juror number, per request — said that verdict ultimately swayed in Depp’s favor because “a lot of Amber’s story didn’t add up.”
“It didn’t come across as believable,” the juror said. “It seemed like she was able to flip the switch on her emotions. She would answer one question, and she would be crying, and two seconds later, she would turn ice cold. It didn’t seem natural.”
The juror added that some members of the trial’s seven-person jury used the word “crocodile tears” amongst each other to describe Heard’s testimony.

Depp prevailed on all three claims in his civil suit and was awarded $10 million in compensatory damages, plus punitive damages of $5 million. The actress won one of three claims in the countersuit against her former husband and was awarded $2 million.



As the juror told GMA, the jury thought Heard’s defense ultimately did not prove that Depp was physically abusive toward the actress; on the contrary, the jury found that Heard was actually the “aggressor” in the relationship.
“They had their husband-wife arguments. They were both yelling at each other,” the juror said. “I don’t think that makes either of them right or wrong. That’s what you do when you get into an argument, I guess. But to rise to the level of what she was claiming, there wasn’t enough or any evidence that really supported what she was saying.”
Other missteps from Heard’s defense, according to the juror, included testimony regarding the $7 million from the actors’ divorce agreement that Heard pledged (but largely didn’t donate) to charity. “The fact is, she didn’t give much of it away at all,” the juror said. “It was disingenuous.”
The jury also questioned why — if Heard was in an abusive relationship — she would gift Depp a large knife. “If you have a battered wife or spouse situation, why would you buy the other person, the ‘aggressor,’ a knife,” the juror said.
Over the televised, six-week trial, both Heard and Depp’s legal teams marched a parade of friends, employees, and family members to the stand; the jury admitted that all that witness testimony didn’t factor into deliberations.
In the aftermath of the verdict, Heard’s lawyers blamed the onslaught of social media vitriol aimed at the actress for, in part, swaying the jury’s decision. However, the juror denied that claim, saying that three of the seven jurors didn’t even have a Twitter account.
“That’s not true. Social media did not impact us,” the juror said. “We followed the evidence. We didn’t take into account anything outside [the courtroom]. We only looked at the evidence.”
In her first interview since the trial earlier this week, Heard said, “This is the most humiliating and horrible thing I’ve ever been through. I have never felt more removed from my own humanity. I felt less than human.” She added that the jury’s decision to side with Depp was “surreal and difficult”

You can't admit "notes" from a 3rd party w an account of an incident that isn't from the respondent or 1st hand.

It's why newspaper articles aren't admissible...a 3rd party can print whatever they believe, think or are told, and since Depp want privy to those discussions, they're just 3rd party thoughts.

I'm sure Johnny's maid that cleaned up that turd had a talk w Johnny and he said Heard left the turd...but that chat wouldn't be admissible via the maid.

What's good for the goose....

Depp should sue her again for defamation. This is a new interview = new allegation. I know she doesn't have any $ but it would send a message Johnny not going to put up with her s#it.

‘Broke’ Amber Heard spotted shopping at TJ Maxx in the Hamptons​

More On: amber heard






It looks like Amber Heard is pinching pennies now that she owes ex-husband Johnny Depp $8.4 million in damages.
The “Aquaman” star was spotted shopping at discount department store TJ Maxx in the Hamptons on Thursday.
Sources told The Post in early June that the 36-year-old actress is “broke” due to hefty legal fees associated with her and Depp’s bombshell trial — and that was before she was ordered her to pay millions for defamatory statements.
When asked if the actress had the means to cover the judgment handed down by the jury, her lawyer Elaine Bredehoft said “Oh no, absolutely not.”
Still, Heard was shopping at the TJ Maxx in Bridgehampton, NY — where the average home goes for around $3.8 million according to Zillow — so she probably isn’t maxing out her credit cards at the big box chain.

She was accompanied by her sister, Whitney Henriquez, who has been by her side throughout the trial and testified on her behalf.
It’s not clear what, if anything, Heard bought at TJ Maxx.
Multiple sources have told the Post that Heard was relying on her homeowner’s insurance policy to cover the cost of her attorneys.
Depp sued Heard for $50 million after she wrote that she became a “public figure representing domestic abuse” in a 2018 Washington Post op-ed and won all three of his defamation claims against her. Heard, meanwhile, won only one of three defamation claims she made against the “Pirates of the Caribbean” in a $100 million countersuit.
Her net worth has been estimated at between $1.5 million and $2.5 million, according to the Celebrity Net Worth site and other outlets — a far cry from what she owes Depp.
Court testimony revealed that Heard was paid $1 million for 2018’s “Aquaman” and another $2 million for the sequel, which will premiere next year. Her role in that movie has been significantly reduced.
