Is anyone watching the Depp -Heard Libel trial ?

Will these fines pay for the legal fees for either one? Depp will have work now, not sure about Heard.

no.. Heard has to pay her lawayers 6 million. According to her this is why she didn't donate her divorce settlement of 7 million... all lies of course, but she said that the reason she didn't actually donate the promised 7 million to good causes was because JD sued her for defamation and she therefore had to pay her lawyers ÂŁ6million.. so basically she's walked away potless...
 

I have seen / heard a half dozen mentions of it on the news. What i don't get is .... why does anyone care. It's just more BS about hollywood folks.
 
This crap was the lead story on the local news tonight.

And now it is the lead story on the national [ABC] news ..... I don't get it.

If i were the judge , this is what i would do. I would say you want 50 millon Mr Depp, and you want 25 million Mis Heard, so this is what we're going to do........ You Mr Depp give me 50 million, and you Miss Heard, give me 25 million ....... I am going to combine the two & spend it on food for hungry children ....... And if either one of you ever return to my court again for this sort of thing, your suit will be denied, and you will spend two years in county lockup.

Now, both of you can return to your world of pretend ..... and start making up the money you just lost.

If you were the Judge and said that, you would be facing the Disciplinary Counsel.
 
Nope, did not watch any of it. Funny thing is now I am reading all about it here. Could care less about them and care more about hearing your opinions. Reading the board gives me information on how others see things and that can be more thought provoking than the event itself.

Appeals are available in Civil as well as Criminal cases.

In my experience, working as a technical expert for lawyers, but not a lawyer, most larger civil settlements are whittled down, via appeals and/or negotiations. However so long as the verdict stands, which I believe is more likely, Depp will probably be happy.

Of course it could be completely overturned on appeal, but in my experience that is less common. I suspect even if that happens the press will grow tired of it and Depp will be ok.
 
No, not me! I gave up on those so-called "celebrities" years ago. I couldn't care less. I do care about gas prices, grocery prices and interest rates but I sure don't care about "who said what to who about what." Not my "cup of tea" and it never will be!

I absolutely expected her to declare Bankruptcy, so she doesn't have to pay him... felt sure she would do that...but I don't think the courts will accept her appeal.....it was mentioned today that altho' it's unlikely to happen , she could in fact be legally sued for perjury... for lying under oath...

Factual perjury can be very hard to prove. In addition, there is no Civil remedy for perjury, just criminal. Also Lower appeals court must entertain an Appeal when filed.

That's why I said techinically it could happen. The lawyers discussing this on TV said that yes indeed she would be liable to be sued for perjury but they'd have show the proof that she lied and that would be very difficult
