After the lawyers ’arguments, the jury of the Johnny Depp case against Amber Heard went into the deliberation room.
Seven men and women had too many elements to examine between videos, audio recordings, emails and multiple witness deposits.
The jury is in session until evening and if, as likely, they do not reach a unanimous verdict, they will meet again from next Tuesday, after Remembrance Day.

The jury’s arguments
After six weeks of testimony at the libel trial in which Johnny Depp and Amber Heard attacked each other with bad details about their brief marriage, both sides asked the jury the same thing: They want to go back his life.
Heard “ruined his life by falsely telling the world that she was a survivor of domestic abuse done by Mr. Depp,” Depp’s lawyer Camille Vasquez said in closing arguments in the actor’s defamation case against his ex -wife.
Meanwhile, Heard’s lawyers say Depp ruined Heard’s life by conducting a smear campaign against him when he filed for divorce and publicly accused him of assault in 2016.
“In Mr. Depp’s world, you’re not going to leave Mr. Depp,” Heard’s attorney J. Benjamin Rottenborn said. “If you do, he will start a global campaign of shame against you.”
A reputation is at stake
