Several days after the announcement of the verdict in the case between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp, Camille Vasquez, the lawyer for the star of Pirates of the Caribbean, gave some secrets about their daily life during the six weeks of trial, and the “intense” work they had to deliver to succeed in winning.
A grueling trial. On Wednesday, June 1, the jury delivered its verdict in the case between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp. The American actress was found guilty of defamationand was ordered to pay more than $10 million in damages to her ex-husband. A victory for the latter who can thank his lawyer, Camilla Vasquez, who struggled to win. This verdict is all the more important as it allowed the 37-year-old young woman to be raised to the rank of associate by Brown Rudnick which she joined in 2018, as CEO William Baldiga revealed in a statement released on Tuesday, June 7.
But to achieve this result, Camille Vasquez had to put in a lot of effort. As she confided to People, she and her team were working almost around the clock on the case. “After the court, we returned to the hotel where we lived and which was our little nest. We changed. We ate. Then we had two crisis cells where we were sometimes until 5 am the next day. It was very intense”she explained to the American media.
Camille Vasquez: “We were out of breath”
Camille Vasquez also confiscated that she never went to bed before 1 or 2 a.m., while her team stayed up until past 5 a.m. “We were really out of breath”acknowledged the lawyer, insisting that this victory was not just hers, but also that of all those who have helped her during these many weeks: “It was I who conducted the cross-examination, but I made it very clear that it was not my cross-examination. It was our team’s.”
Regarding Johnny Depp, Camille Vasquez explained that the comedian was “in peace”. “I think that peace came even before the verdict. It was just being able to tell her story and talk about what really happened in that relationship. I think once he was able to do that and expose it all, the good, the bad, the ugly, he felt a sense of relief, and he deserves it.”concluded the lawyer.
