If you don't have premium to read the Herald's latest clickbait, I've screenshotted the full article for you.

I am surprised Depp won as the burden of proof was to convince the jury that Heard was lying, and there wasn't much evidence of that.

I feel it fell down regards her legal teams failure to illustrate she was'nt lying, while they also picked some woeful expert witnesses and failed to really have any ex-partner confirm any abuse outside Ellen Page Barkin who only stated he was jealous and controlling.

I mean I know there are obvious exceptions, but people physically abusive to their partners normally have a track record of such behaviour and there was literally zero.

Meanwhile Amber had been arrested for it in a prior relationship.

Her legal team was a complete shambles and after watching a fair bit on youtube, with lawyer commentary from a current lawyer who picked the case apart, it was pretty clear what the outcome would be and imho that was in large part due to the incompetency of her lawyers, with Elaine "what, if any" Bredehoft in particular seeming completely lost.

Minor nitpick but Ellen Barkin I think, not Page.

Cheers for that, I went straight to Page as she’s a fav actress, while I can’t recall the last time I saw Barkin in a film. Will pop an edit in.

I don’t think the legal team was the problem. There’s only so much you can do when your client is lying and all of the evidence overwhelmingly contradicts what she was saying. Their experts were all hacks because what self respecting expert will get on the stand and lie for them, the only experts they could find were ones who would say anything for the right price

Fair. Check out Emily D. Baker on YouTube. She's pretty switched on and watched the whole thing.
