Gasp!Actually I settled that case. The jury found me innocent and new evidence came to light. It turns out the real perpetrator matches the description of a foolish mortal dressed as a blue skeleton ghost. It was determined that the Voorhees family would go to Gracey Manor and inquire about the free vacancy room at the mansion. There they could live in true peace and serve justice directly to the accuser. But wait, this just in, HGTV is announcing that they are renovating manor. How will the family react? Tune into next week’s episode of “Misunderstood horror film villains” to find out.
By the way, is that supposed to be Whitney as Jason’s wife?
That was a great post.
Are you referring to the "My Dog Stepped On a Bee" Tik-Tok?
Did they watch the trial? The whole thing, not bits and pieces. Not reading articles after the fact,.
If this is your take away, then you’re just as guilty as what you’re accusing others of. He didn’t win this trial on optics. He won it on facts. How do live cameras affect the outcome at all, except in the court of public opinion?
I would have awarded Johnny the 7M that he gave her in the divorce. He doesn't care about the money and it would have sent her a message.My gut feeling and pure speculation is that the jury actually hadn’t planned on giving any type of damages. Because if they were deliberating and coming up with those type of numbers they would not have forgotten to put them on the piece of paper. I think when they had to go back in the room they were like all right let’s just throw some numbers down to finish. And it could be that in their minds they were thinking if they were both looking for 50 or 100 million respectively - then they assumed 2/15 million is a wrist slap and a message. Most people though are speculating that the 12 million or so she owes him now is a financial impact on her.
Even Johnny Depp said he wasn’t looking for money and the judge was also hinting to the jury they could start at one dollar. So maybe they really did want to get these amounts and simply were stupid to forget to put it down. Or just tired and overwhelmed and wanted to get the heck out of there.
Most web “experts”were commenting or betting that The jury would find her at fault but not award any money($1.00) since in the end thenJiry would see The marriage was toxic and abusive from both parties. She just went beyond in her accusations and defamation.
It was pretty evident from the beginning that she was lying about the abuse. None of her stories where consistent, she evaded questions, she made horrible claims of him beating her and breaking her nose, but did not go to the doctor and was photographed the next day with not a mark on her. And this happened over and over. Johnny is not a saint, but having a drug issue does not make you an abuser and you shouldn't be equating the two. As far as her "mental illness", she has a personality disorder, like many people do. Some are narcissistic, some are introverts, etc. But that does not mean that everyone has a mental illness, some people are just jerks.
Wasn't the main problem with the last few Pirates movies that the scripts weren't that good?
I've been suspicious of the media outlets for a while. I had a long thing typed out, but it sounded like I was being all "tin foil hat" lol. So I'll say that these big televised trials like this and Rittenhouse and I'm sure others, points out how media is used to manipulate the public. We get told things like Depp is an abuser and he's a horrible person etc, and with nothing else but her op-ed he was guilty. Then we actually get to see the trial and both sides of it and find out none of what had been said (and ran with) was really true at all. I don't say this like "oh don't believe anything the media tells you!" More just that stuff like this should open our eyes to think critically and look at multiple sources rather than just blindly following what the news says.
I’m really glad I got to watch the entire thing. If I had relied on articles even from many sources, I would have been badly misinformed. I really enjoyed the Lawtube panels of lawyers. One even practiced right here in Fairfax and was familiar with the judge. They provided deep dives into defamation law and other issues plus they were streaming constantly so there was never a shortage of sources. Several of the participating lawyers didn’t know anything at all about the case and at the beginning, most thought he wouldn’t win. But by the end, they all knew he would.
This makes me think about all the local criminal cases and such that you read about in the paper or see in the news. I work in a forensic mental facility, and some officers from a couple counties over were in here picking up a client that was being released. They were talking about a man who was in the pre trial process for murdering his wife. The one officer said since he works in transport he'd been to all of the pretrial hearings for this case and from what he'd heard, he couldn't imagine that the guy would ever be found guilty. Yet based on what was put out in the news, he was obviously guilty without a doubt. I don't think it's gone to trial yet, but regardless of the outcome, most people will believe he did it and must have found a loophole, or gotten some important evidence thrown out bc in most of those cases you only hear the prosecutors side of things, and we want to believe they are right. If they can get it so wrong on these huge cases that are under so much scrutiny, how wrong are they on the local cases that don't get that much attention?
Being an introvert or extrovert is a personality trait or characteristic not a personality disorder. It’s estimated that approximately 9% of the US population has at least one personality disorder* I wouldn’t call that many.
So much this. I have friends posting on FB about how it's so horrible that he "got away with it" and basically saying that because Amber's a woman and Johnny's a man, obviously she was the victim but rich and powerful men always get away with it. And I'm like, did you even watch the trial? Or follow ANY of the story at all? Men certainly can be victims, and women certainly can be aggressors. I'm very much part of the #metoo movement, and I strongly think that the tagline should be "believe victims" not "believe women."
