On the third day of Heard’s stand, a spokesperson of Amber Heard said,“There’s an old saying by trial lawyers: When the facts are on your side, argue the facts; when the facts are not on your side, pound away on the podium. Today, we expectDepp’s attorneyswill instead pound away on the victim.”

Heard was finishing her direct testimony, but before, lawyers from the opposite side have their share, Heard’s lawyers stated“We fear it will be equal parts shameful and desperate,” the statement continued. “And, the overwhelming evidence — the truth — is not on Depp’s side.The one thing we suspect Depp’s attorneys will avoid is the central issue of this trial: does Amber or any woman have the First Amendment Right of freedom of speech.”
What Happened on the Second Day of Heard’s Direct Testimony?
After Heard’s testimony on the second day, A spokesperson forJohnny Depp questioned Heard‘s credibility and vowed to“highlight the many fallacies”during cross-examination.

Shortly after its release, Heard’s team responded,“As evidenced by the statement just released, Mr. Depp’s defamation claim is falling apart so rapidly that his counsel is turning from prosecutor to persecutor.” It added,“he should consider a new strategy rather than the recycled approach of attacking the victim, and refusing to take responsibility for his conduct.”
Thoughthe public seems to be on Johnny Depp’s side, theverdict will be givenby the people sitting in the jury box.
Amber Heard in a statement stated, “hopefully when this case concludes, I can move on and so can Johnny. I have alwaysmaintained a love for Johnnyand it brings me great pain to have to live out the details of our past life together in front of the world.”
