The jury in the trial between actors Johnny Depp and Amber Heard will head back into deliberations on Tuesday, in a case that has spawned widespread attention in media and online. CTVNews.ca spoke to legal analysts about where the case goes from here.
The jury in the trial between actors Johnny Depp and Amber Heard will head back into deliberations on Tuesday, in a case that has spawned widespread attention in media and online.
"I think the jury will quickly, the seven of them, come to a decision as to whose presentation they find more compelling, more believable, and more credible, and that has nothing to do with social media or 'Team Depp' or 'Team Heard.'" What could take more time for the jury to consider is what damages, if any, it will award to either party, including compensatory damages and any additional punitive damages, the latter of which are effectively to punish the other party for their conduct and deter others from doing the same thing in the future.
"I think the longer we see them out, the more likely it is that they feel somebody has won their case because they have gone into the damages issue, which could extend the length of time that the jury deliberates," she said.
