Danny Cevallos: How the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard jury got it wrong — twice. - NBCNewsTHINK

Even stipulating that she did write it, the headline only says she “spoke up against sexual violence.” It doesn’t say that she’s a survivor of sexual abuse, and abuse at the hands of Depp. There are plenty of advocates for causes that are not survivors of the harms they oppose.
But Depp’s path to a win wasn’t an easy one. He always had the burden of proof as to every element of defamation. What this verdict means is that the jury found Heard and her evidence completely unbelievable. More than that: It means the jurors didn’t believe Amber Heard was ever abused. Physically or otherwise.

and behavior by Depp. A jury should have drawn inferences from that evidence, in which case Depp would have lost. Depp denied the abuse allegations. The jury found him credible. And lastly: “[W]e have reached the beginning of the end of Ms. Heard’s abuse hoax against Johnny Depp.”
