So Johnny Depp won…

I am a fan of neither party, but I think this time the court worked the way it's supposed to work.

The objective for women is not preferential treatment, but equal treatment.

This post is so fucking stupid

shows you did not watch any of the trial at all. The evidence was overwhelming that she kept lying over and over again. She is not a victim, she is a abuser.
This is not a set back for victims of abuse. It is a step up for men who have been abused and ignored because they are men.
#MeToo was set back when women started using it as a weapon to ruin innocent mens lives. It was not ruined due to Johnny Depp

i went into the trial biased against Depp as a person but based on everything i saw in the trial i think the jury got it right.

i've always seen flaws in the Metoo movement in that while it can be used to give true victims a community of supportive people it can also be used as a weapon. never doubt the damage a mob mentality who thinks they're right can cause.

[quote]They’re both vile people, but sorry, this is a powerful, mega rich man who is seen as an excellent actor, who has public opinion on his side. The jury can see this and have bent if not broken the law to find in his favour.[/quote]

What does Depp being rich and powerful or the public siding with him have to do with a circumvention of the law or justice?

You know what was actually a blow to MeToo? Amber Heard's attempt to leverage the movement for her own gain.
The jury found that her thinly veiled accusations of Depp were unsupported by any evidence she could present and are therefor defamatory.

It's women like her who do more damage to the MeToo movement than ANY rich and powerful man. Because every time a woman cries rape when there was no rape or abuse when there was no abuse...THAT makes it less likely that a real victim will be believed. THAT makes a real victim of abuse more afraid to speak out.

So yeah, NICE one America. This time you exposed a a woman who was poison both to her former partner and to victims of abuse everywhere.

The U.S. legal system has been guilty of [b]many, many[/b]
miscarriages of justice since its inception.

Sorry, but [b]this[/b] wasn’t one of them.

I agree the fact he made a fuss about that when he wasn't even mentioned shows he has a guilty conscience and yeah me being a victim of abuse, it definitely makes me think twice about speaking out, if Johnny has a guilty conscience then everything he said in court was lies which says in court the abuser will always win, and the victim will suffer more abuse and be classed as a liar.

Both Depp and Heard are selfish nasty people. If the jury could have directed both payments to some charity for families, I'd be much happier.

I didn't listen to all the evidence, and I'm not a lawyer, so I have no reason to doubt that the jury did the right thing in finding Depp owed $2 million to Heard and Heard owed $15 million to Depp. Like I say, I'd be much happier if all the money went to some charity.

I take it you disagree with the jury’s decision ?
You probably have better information and know the facts better than they did.

I’m a victim of domestic violence and I can proudly speak out and say fuck amber heard

Coming from me . I’m telling you .you are a fool!!

Jealous?

facts are that the truth has a certain ring to it. I never bought into her allegations she was an abused woman and neither did most people. He's not an abuser yet he isn't a monk practicing non violence. he falls in between those 2 choices. he's no saint but she's a fuckin nut. so the trial was pointless. In fact he looks worse now than ever.

another thing: she should never have identified as an abused woman when there are women who truly suffer at the hands of an abuser. clearly she wasn't one of them.

the #me too movement took the biggest hit when people are expected to take the woman's word for things when a president or judge from one party does something but when it is the other party the woman is automatically lying.

The stuff of National Enquirer headlines. 🥱

Johnny is the abuse victim

So how does it set back me too?

Then i wondered if they are both playing the court just for the money and once things have settled down come back together.

I don't think this really set Depp back at all. He all ready has movie's planned. She will still be in Aquaman 2.

Well in summary the jury found that she fabricated domestic abuse and rape allegations and spread them maliciously to destroy JD

He got $10 million in damages for loss of financial opportunities and a further $5 million in personal pain and suffering (higher than the statuary cap of $350,000 - which it has been reduced to)

She won 1/3 counts. Basically they found that she did carry out a hoax but that when Wardman (Johnny's lawyer) described the way in which the hoax was carried out he was speaking as Depp's agent and the statement was false and said with malice

She got a $2 million award for damages and $0 for personal pain and suffering

Is #MeToo only for women?
