Johnny Depp, Amber Heard Jury Trial Notes Sold For Almost $15,000 -- LOOK
There were a lot of things that fans didn't witness during the Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard defamation trial in Fairfax, Virginia.
Despite the fact that it was broadcast live, viewers were unable to witness the jury's emotions or any other hidden happenings.
A Virginia jury recently concluded unanimously that Heard defamed Depp when she branded herself a victim of domestic abuse in a 2018 op-ed piece for The Washington Post.
The "Aquaman" star was forced to pay around $15 million in damages, which included $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive penalties.
However, in compliance with Virginia state law, Judge Penney Azcarate eventually decreased the punitive penalties to $350,000.
Amber Heard was also given $2 million in compensatory damages after Depp's lawyer, Adam Waldman, declared her abuse accusations false.
Trial of Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard: Secret Notes
Larry Forman, a trial lawyer, informed TMZ that he was present at the Fairfax County Courthouse throughout the trial and claimed to have taken notes.
He said on Twitter that he went to court as a one-time occurrence, but his pals persuaded him to return, and he started taking notes.
The Kentucky-based lawyer's notebook contained about 20 pages of text every day by the time the judgement was announced, encompassing between 23 and 26 days of the case.
The diary describes the jury's emotions that were not captured by the cameras, according to his eBay listing following a dramatic bidding battle.
After the trial, he decided to sell the memoir on eBay under the title "TOP SECRET: Johnny Depp Jury Trial Notes on Juror's Reactions to Amber Heard."
The advertisement received 142 bids, and the auction finished on June 8.

Forman also informed the source that he will not retain the money for himself, but will instead donate it to the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles.
He also believed it was appropriate because the "Aquaman" star indicated she would give her divorce settlement from the "Edward Scissorhands" actor to charity - but didn't.
Other things linked to the multimillion-dollar trial have also been offered at exorbitant prices on reseller websites.
One of the goods was a "Johnny Depp Wristband Overflow," which sold for $375, and TMZ claimed to have combed through hundreds of postings and discovered vendors trying to make about four figures for a paper bracelet.
