Amber Heard has been outspoken about her thoughts on the judgment in her defamation suit against her ex-husband Johnny Depp since it was handed out. “Disappointment” was the actress' first reaction to the jury's decision, which found her guilty of three counts of defamation.
Heard recently took part in her first sit-down interview since the case's conclusion, and she discussed a wide range of subjects. In addition, the actress brought up a piece of information she feels could have swung the verdict in her favor.
Several important pieces of evidence were presented in the defamation lawsuit, including audio tapes, photographs, and more. Her doctor's notes purportedly contained damaging information about Johnny Depp's case, and she told Today's Savannah Guthrie during their interview. Amber Heard feels that a binder should have been inspected, even though these were essential in settling the case.
“Even before I went to my doctor, whom I told about the assault, he had a binder of records dating back to 2011. Years of real-time explanations were preserved in her notes.”
It was revealed during the Dateline interview that the actress had made charges of abuse against her ex-spouse in the notes. Depp allegedly “struck her” in January 2012; she also claimed that he “threw her on the floor” many months later, according to other reports. “I've never struck any woman,” Depp insisted during the trial.
As well as sharing the binder with Savannah Guthrie, Amber Heard also discussed with the actress how “fair” she thought the trial was. The actress blames the “vitriol” on social media for the inaccurate portrayal of her character during the proceedings. Because her ex was “a beloved character and people feel they know him,” she said, the jurors had more sympathy for him.
Lawyers for Johnny Depp have since explained why the jury passed over the actress. It all came down to “accountability,” according to one of the attorneys, Ben Chew, who believes that Depp “owned his faults.”

There may have been a perception that she didn't accept responsibility for anything,” Chew added. The star's “crocodile tears,” according to one of the case's jurors, were not believed by the rest of the panel, who felt that Depp was “more convincing.” It was stated that “they both abused each other” by him.
Amber Heard has been ordered to pay her ex-husband $15 million in compensation and punitive damages. While Heard's lawyer has claimed that the millions of dollars she owes are unaffordable, several have noticed her recent use of a private plane following this.
We'll never know if the binder would have made a difference in the case's outcome. However, the effect of Amber Heard and Johnny Depp's trial appears to be a long-term phenomenon.
