He added: “This trial is about so much more than Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. It’s about freedom of speech. “There is an abuser in this courtroom but it is not Mr Depp. There is a victim of domestic abuse in this courtroom, but it is not Ms Heard.” “What Ms Heard testified to in this courtroom is a story of far too many women, but the overwhelming evidence and weight of that evidence is that it is not her story. Instead, Depp could potentially be ordered to pay his ex-wife $100 million, which she has demanded in a countersuit which she launched in which she claimed that Depp spearheaded a campaign to discredit her, label her allegations as “fake” and a “hoax”, and harming her career and reputation. “In doing so ruined his life by falsely telling the world that she was a survivor of domestic abuse at the hands of Mr Depp,” she said. In her closing remarks, Depp’s lawyer, Camille Vasquez, said the “mountain” of evidence that Depp assaulted his former partner was “simply not there”.
