Johnny Depp, Amber Heard Trial 'Poisonous' Because of THIS Person
Many believe that after the $100 million defamation trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard is done, people will have withdrawal symptoms.
People are hooked to the live stream of the trial, which is being streamed from a Fairfax County, Virginia court, as various witnesses, specialists, friends, and family members of the beleaguered celebrities assist in clearing their identities.
The trial also increased the intensity of social media, with people analyzing every move, every word Depp and Heard and their witnesses uttered on the stand.
Because of how poisonous the trial has gotten, some fans have already stopped watching.
However, some Twitter users in this thread believe that it is the responsibility of one individual that this trial has devolved into a witch hunt.
According to them, it was the choice of the judge, Penney Azcarate, to broadcast this trial live that established a poisonous environment for all victims of sexual and domestic violence
They went on to say, "I cannot imagine what public interest she thought justified this carnival. It's unconscionable."
"Even if one believes Depp (and I do not), there is no justification for televising this, and many many reasons for not doing so, starting with the privacy interests of all survivors. This is just the current stocks," the tweet further reads.
Other fans agree with the initial statement of the Twitter user, with another even suggesting that the judge needs to be investigated for allowing a Depp witness to tweet about the trial but denied Heard "key evidence and witnesses of her being abused."
But other Twitter users are explaining why the judge has decided to have this broadcasted online.
One person explained, "Maybe it encourages some ppl that were wrongly accused not to let it happen! Step up. Speak up. #MenToo #notoabuse."
Another Twitter user said that it was Amber Heard who made things public in the first place.
They went on to say, "Amber made it public with her publication, her faking bruises and going with media to court."
"Judge Azcarate did the right thing in making this whole trial public because Amber wanted people to see, let's let them see ALL of it and not fabrications of what she's pushing."
A fourth person explained why it could have been worse for the "Aquaman" actress if cameras weren't allowed inside the court.
"At least we can see how she plays gatekeeper, preventing the abuse victim's evidence from being presented but allowing the abuser's witnesses to commit perjury with impunity."
Verdict of the trial will be announced by the end of the month, despite initially being scheduled to end a week ago.
