Johnny Depp’s Attorney Tells Jury In Closing Arguments: “There Is A Victim Of Domestic Abuse In This Courtroom, And It Is Not Miss Heard”
27.05.2022 - 16:55 / deadline.com
Johnny Depp’s attorney started her closing arguments by telling the jury that it the actor, not Amber Heard, who was the victim of “persistent verbal, emotional and physical abuse.”
“There is a victim of domestic abuse in this courtroom, and it is not Miss Heard,” Depp’s attorney Camille Vasquez told the jury.
Vasquez noted that Friday marked six years since Heard went to court to obtain a domestic violence restraining order against Depp, following an argument at their downtown Los Angeles penthouse.
But Vasquez called the scene at the courthouse “a set up,” claiming that Heard orchestrated press coverage to ensure that photographers would be there to take shots of her bruised face. She claimed that Depp struck her with a phone. But Vasquez suggested that Heard staged her injuries, and that “the world only saw what she wanted them to see.”
“Exactly six years later, we ask you to give Mr. Depp his life back,” Vasquez said.
She said that “it is Miss Heard that repeatedly admits to violence,” she said, referring to an audio recording in which Heard talked of striking Depp. By contrast, Vasquez said, Depp never admitted to any physical violence against Heard.
She said that the evidence showed that Heard “didn’t just want a divorce. She wanted to ruin him.”
Depp sued Heard for $50 million over a December, 2018, op ed in the Washington Post in which she wrote that “two years ago, I became a public figure representing domestic abuse, and I felt the full force of our culture’s wrath for women who speak out.” Heard countersued for $100 million over claims that she made up her abuse allegations.
Before the oral arguments began, Judge Penney Azcarate instructed the jury on the process for reaching a verdict, reflecting the high bar that

Amber Heard attorney calls Johnny Depp's lawsuit win a 'major setback' for women, cites 'suppressed evidence'
Attorney Elaine Bredehoft sounded off on "CBS Mornings" and NBC's "TODAY" show Thursday, one day after the defamation trial between actor Johnny Depp and actress Amber Heard concluded, and turned the verdict into a message about women and domestic abuse accusations going forward. In her CBS appearance, Heard's attorney described Depp's win as a "major setback for women," citing the actress's "enormous amount of evidence" and telling hosts Gayle King, Tony Dukoupil and Nate Burleson that a lot of that evidence was "suppressed." "Look at all the women who have no evidence," Bredehoft said, adding, "Basically, what this jury said is unless you pull out your cell phone, and you tape record your spouse beating you, you’re out of luck." The attorney also took to both channels to discuss the sway social media had on the jury's decision, telling NBC's "TODAY" show that the jurors undoubtedly witnessed the social media frenzy surrounding the high-profile case because "they have families" and personal lives, too.
