Juror from Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial reveals behind-the-scenes deliberations

This Wednesday, June 1, one of Hollywood’s most publicized trials delivered its verdict. After several weeks of legal battle, Amber Heard was found guilty of defamation in the lawsuit opposing her to Johnny Depp and must pay him $ 15 million in damages. For his part, the star of Pirates of the Caribbean was also found guilty and must pay him two million dollars. If following this verdict, the actress said to herself “devastated”a man, who claims to have served on the trial jury, revealed some information about the deliberation.

In videos posted on Tik Tok, this man, who prefers to remain anonymous, answered questions asked by Internet users to find out what the jury thought of Amber Heard. “No hate, but most didn’t empathize.”, he explained. He let it be known that the Aquaman actress was in a weak position. “It wasn’t quite unanimous at the start of the deliberation. But everyone agreed that she was guiltier than Johnny”. Asked about his feelings about other people in the trial, the man greeted the actor’s lawyer, Camille Vasquez, who, according to him, made “great work”. As for the actress’s sister, Whitney Henriquez, the alleged juror is more dubious. For him, his testimony at the bar on May 18 was made “by obligation and by manipulation”.

A moment of the decisive trial

He then informed that a moment of the trial was decisive in the decision of the jury: when Amber Heard confessed to having never paid the 7 million dollars of her divorce to two associations, as she had nevertheless promised. According to this man, she then lost all credibility in the eyes of the members of the jury.

Asked about the final financial penalty, he explained that the jury did not agree on this sum. Some wanted the actress to pay the 50 million dollars claimed by Johnny Depp, when others found the amount too high. The man informs having fought with other jurors so that his sanction is reduced. Finally, the members of the jury agreed on the 15 million dollars that the actress will have to pay to the interpreter of Jack Sparrow and the 2 million dollars to be paid by the latter. “It’s just about accountability and holding both parties accountable for what was done wrong”he concludes.
