Disney or Warner Brothers? He has a stronger case against the Fantastic Beasts franchise.

I'll bet Ms Heard didn't anticipate that this sort of public humiliation and financial ruin might possibly come of accepting WaPo's offer to publish her righteous claim to heroic victim status.

And I’ve already heard three talking heads say how this is going to scare woman from speaking out in the future…

Surely they misspoke. They meant that we should all be afraid to make damaging allegations that could be found by a court to be malicious lies.

The talking heads can say whatever the fuck they want, their gaslighting is going to hurt them this time around. The entire thing was televised. A shitload of people saw at least the highlights, of which there were many.

I suspect Ms Heard did more damage to the #MeToo cause than any other human being to date. It was a runaway trolley before she laid down in front of it. God bless her dark, dishonest heart.

Low-hanging fruit. This sort of thing was bound to happen at some point, and soon.

Public opinion was firmly on Depp's side after seeing the hearing, but I don't think anybody was entirely confident the verdict would be like this. Maybe it would have been similar no matter the jury. One can hope.

And it wasn't the intellectual elite. It was a lot of average Americans who got to enjoy the idiocy.

The case was tried in Fairfax, a very blue area. Reports by lawyers who sat in on the case suggested the jury found Heard to be every bit as ridiculous as the rest of us, pretty much from the get.
Gives me hope.
Please love yourself.

I've often seen justifications for lawyers doing their thing in a courtroom, even for clients they know are guilty or are lying, by saying everybody deserves the best representation, regardless of the underlying reality. Which I understand and can get behind. But then in cases like this, these same lawyers are giving press conferences after the verdict expounding on how right or wrong morally the verdict was. Should that sort of thing be taken in the same light, just lawyers doing their jobs? Are they expected to method act their whole life, playing the part of believing their clients and presenting their case?

The message here is “if you’re bat shit crazy and a little evil you shouldn’t start public wars of reputation agains your exes”.
But the bat shit crazy slightly evil folks out there will never absorb it.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

It's a mixed bag. Lawyers have expenses like everybody else. You could speculate that lawyers who milk the ridiculous on the courthouse steps can doff that hat and be a real lawyer for a worthwhile criminal case later.
It's like, if they find themselves caught up in a circus, complete with clowns, they may as well preen for the cameras. If they're any kind of ethical, they can always drown their sorrows in expensive scotch later.

That inability to absorb is the very essence of the bat shit crazy individual’s absurd existential existence.

Depp was awarded $5M in punitive damages. Virginia law limits that to $350K, however.
By the way, today is "National Narcissist Abuse Awareness Day" FWIW.

The last time I was in that judicial building it was to testify (my only time ever) during a buddy's custody hearings against his absolute psycho wife. His wife's lawyer kept trying to frame it as if I didn't really know their family by asking me things like "So you knew them in 2016? How many times did you see them that year? What was your first time that year hanging out? Oh you can't recall the specific instance?" and shit like that for the years 2017, 2018, too. Eventually I replied from the stand with "I mean, you saw movies in 2017 but do you remember the first movie you saw in 2017?" to which the judge asked me not to question the council.
