I’m hyperfixating on the Johnny Depp trial and I’m making that everyone’s problem.
Cut for tw domestic abuse/violence (implied).
I went down some rabbit holes and have ended up reading through transcripts from the UK trial, and I have a lot of thoughts about it that I will be posting about once I can organize them (sorry), but in the meantime, I just - this is amazing:
(If you’ve been watching the trial, you probably know that Amber et al. refer to Johnny’s non-sober, “abusive” side as “the monster.”) During Johnny’s testimony, being questioned by one of Amber’s lawyers about a trip to Tokyo:
Lawyer (L): (Person) was asking (Your Assistant) “Did you survive Japan? No giant monster attacks I hope.” Johnny (J): Yes, ma'am. L:Does it seem from that that others referred to the monster ormonster’s attacks? J:I believe [he] is referring to Godzilla. L:Really? J:Giant monster attacks in Tokyo. Yes, I believe he is talking about Japanese films, where monsters attack people, giant monsters.
At which point, the lawyer basically changed the subject. The transcript doesn’t indicate it, but I imagine there was a lengthy pause there.
“Now we’ve seen Mr Depp during this trial doodling and eating candy what if any evidence would that suggest that he has narcissistic traits?” #TeamJohnny
The list on who’s on the final jury in the Depp v. Heard civil trial that is currently ongoing in Fairfax, Virginia.
(demonstrations from CourtTv & Rob from @Law & Lumber, one to show the full jury & the other to show the dimssed alternates)
The two alternates were Juror #2/B & Juror #8/H. Juror #2 is a Asian male, who is in the mid 20s. Juror #8 is a older White woman, who’s in her fifties. They were both assumed by lawyers and reporters, Ian (@.RunkleOfTheBailey), Larry @.DUI Guy), Rob (@.Law&Lumber), and James, (@JamesFromCourt) to be Pro-Johnny.
The remaining jury are these 7 individuals in total below.
1. Juror #1/A, a Asian male, assumed to be in his mid 20s to early 30s.
2. Juror #3/C, a Asian male, assumed to be in his mid 30s.
3. Juror #4/D, a Black woman, assumed to be in her mid 40s to early 50s.
4. Juror #5/E, a Asian woman, assumed to be in her early 30s.
5. Juror #6/F, a White man, assumed to be in his mid 60s.
6. Juror #7/G, a White man, assumed to be in his late 20s to early 30s.
7. Juror #9/I, a Asian man, assumed to be in his 40s. Interesting enough, this juror is assumed to be very Anti-Amber, to point of out right give her a scrawl when she was on the stand.
5 men, 2 women.
All of these 7 jurors must come to an unanimous decision to reach a verdict in this case.
If you don’t think depp stans are literally unhinged I need you to know that I made one vague post on tiktok where I said “Sometimes, when you have to repeat the story of a traumatic event a lot, you start to feel numb to the story.” and depp stans came UNGLUED. Several of them went through ever single video on my tiktok, newst first, and started replying “This person supports Amber Herd” to everyone who left a comment on my videos. And I don’t think these were bots. I have no push notifications for tiktok on because mental health- so I didn’t notice this until it had been going on for hours. 1000’s of “This person supports Amber Heard” comments.
And all this for a video where I did not even mention her or depp. So honestly fuck everyone who supports depp. fuck everyone who made memes our of her rape testimony. fuck everyone who laughed at her. and fuck everyone who helped depp make it that much fucking easier for men to get away with abusing women. Fuck you all so much I hope you have miserable lives.
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.
I watched almost every single day of the trial. It was the performance of Amber Turds’ life and it was still completely bullisht! I couldn’t believe a word that came out of her mouth! I didn’t believe one F****** word that came out of her mouth.
She made domestic abuse a joke! There are women that actually go through what she lied about (her claims) and it’s serious. But her lieing so extensively she turned it into a joke! And that’s SO wrong, and messed up! Then her trying to say him winning is a move back for women. Give me a F****** break! NO ONE believed a word out of her mouth, and I personally don’t think she was harmed in any way. There’s a difference between yelling and arguing and verbal abuse. I’ve been through multiple different types of abuse from my own F****** blood/DNA family! And if johnny had done something it was SO clear in her actions and words in her so called evidence that she would’ve been the instigator! She did it on purpose. I personally think she had been planning all that from the beginning. When you are in love with someone you don’t instigate shit like that and you don’t record constantly or take pictures of some of the things she took pictures of.
It’s a freaking step forward for men being abused which you don’t hear about practically at all!
And let’s go Camille and the rest of Johnny’s team! Like around of applause for them! Amazing! Spectacular! They did a damn good job.
