Closing arguments in the Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard Defamation Trial were held on Friday. Johnny Depp and Amber Heard have filed a $50 million defamation lawsuit against each other following Heard’s Washington Post op-ed in which she referred to Depp’s alleged abuse of her. Now is the time to tune in to the Law & Crime Trial Network, which is accessible on a variety of cable and streaming services, for live coverage of the trial’s deliberations and reviews of its most memorable moments. It’s possible that the jury (which consists of five men and two women) may declare their decision later today or early next week, according to the experts who predicted these dates during the show.

Law & Crime Trial Network pundits said they predict a decision within the next few days, but they also cautioned jurors to take as long as a week to digest the avalanche of evidence provided by both sides throughout the trial, which has garnered so much attention from the media. This trial’s duration, past verdict times in defamation cases, and outside influences like jury pressure from the media were all taken into consideration while making their forecasts.
Celebrities and friends of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard testified in court during the last days of the trial, which had been scheduled to end two weeks ago. Kate Moss, Johnny Depp’s ex-girlfriend, dispelled rumours that the actor forced her to the ground after they dated in Jamaica. His manager, as well as his former agent, testified in support of Amber Heard, as did his former manager. In her cross-examination, Depp’s lawyer, Camille Vasquez, challenged an orthopaedic surgeon’s assertion that Depp’s finger couldn’t have been severed by Heard hurling a glass bottle at him. Expect the long-awaited final verdict today or within the next few days.
