According to jamesfromcourt, Elaine went off to the bathroom to cry when court adjourned. Representing Amber Heard really took its toll on her. I hope she’s okay.
God. You could say they took it upon themselves, that’s their job. To salvage cases that are barely there when being in defense but this toxic cloud AH is seems to be even more of a cancer than any other not salvageable thug would be and the fact this is televised and already gathered a little bit of cult following worries me. How much humiliation or maybe even hostility she will have to face because of that? AH literally ruins anyone she comes in contact with.
The way she’s been furiously writing post it notes to her counsel when they already have the arguments prepared? Endless spin of stories rewritten. At some point Elaine looked at one of these notes AH stuck to her sheets with this empty expression. so utterly drained from being fed lines, instructions and tyrannical control throughout this entire trial. I wish professional conduct didn’t bind her and during their alleged confrontation where Elaine tries to walk out and tells her to defend herself (since she still does literally making all the decisions and ordering the counsel about I mean AH supporters calling the counsel shitty lawyers as if they had anything to say with this tyrant) she actually did just that (but you don’t walk away from AH, right? unscathed, if you dare. It’s clear to see even from her counsel that looked like shells of people, sans Rottenborne, maybe cut out from the same cloth as his client is).
Elaine deserves long vacation for the divorce money she hopefully got from that thief, was not pledged, and to forget about it all somehow.
Amber Heard had more evidence supporting her claims than most abuse victims have and yet that jury decided she defamed that man. I’m truly angry and disgusted. This has been a major setback for women and abuse victims.
@sayruq I just watched Heard’s attorney Elaine Bredehoft on Today saying that a great deal of evidence was suppressed, including medical reports showing that Amber Heard had been reporting instances of physical and sexual abuse since 2012.
This verdict is an enormous attack on First Amendment rights for anyone who has an allegation against a rich and powerful individual. Depp’s fans seem incapable of realising this; by the time they do realise it when their own freedom to speak is threatened, it will be too late.
so the jury also found that Depp’s lawyer calling her allegations of abuse “a hoax” was defamatory (so I guess they do find that he abused her) so this was literally just saying “yes he abused you but you can never speak about it.”
I am confused and surprised by this verdict. How can it be defamatory for Adam Waldman to call Amber Heard’s allegations “a hoax”, yet it is also defamatory for Amber Heard to call herself a public figure representing domestic abuse?
Either one is defamatory or the other. Not both. I would argue that Waldman’s statement was highly prejudicial and unfounded. Amber Heard’s article never named Depp nor specified any of her allegations, yet the jury ruled that the claims in the article were false.
I am concerned about the impact on First Amendment rights after this ruling.
