Zack Sharf Judy Bellinger, the court stenographer during the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard defamation trial, said in an interview with Law & Crime Network that she witnessed several jury members dozing off to sleep during the course of the trial, which started April 11 and ended June 1. Law & Crime Network earned millions of views online from live-streaming the trial. Bellinger said she saw jury members in both the front and back rows falling asleep.“It was tough,” Bellinger said.
“There was a lot of video deposition and they’d just sit there and all of a sudden I’d see their heads drop.”While Bellinger said the majority of the jury was “very intent” and “listening intently” during the trial, she added, “Unfortunately, when the jury was chosen we knew there were going to be some that wouldn’t see it all the way through.” According to Bellinger, the single best jury member was an alternate who didn’t get to stay with the trial through the end. “The one alternate was probably the one that listened the most,” she said. “I watched her facial expressions.
She was very deeply into every word that was being said. I thought she would’ve made a great juror but she did not get to see it to the end…She was the best juror. She was paying close attention.
There were a few juror dozing off. She never dozed off.”The jury in the trial ruled that Heard defamed Depp when she wrote a 2018 Washington Post op-ed alluding to her past claims of domestic violence. Heard is now ordered to pay $10.35 million in damages to Depp ($10 million in compensatory damages and $350,000 in punitive damages).
