We have a NOTE FROM THE JURY: They want to know whether the question of whether the headline is false relates to just the headline itself or the entire article — i.e does including the headline as a statement bring in everything in the article

#JohnnyDeppAmberHeardTrial

The judge’s answer is: it means ONLY the headline itself, which is: “Amber Heard: I spoke up against sexual violence and faces our culture’s wrath. That has to change.” I.e Using the headline as one of the defamatory statements does not mean the whole article must be false

This indicates that the jury is taking a forensic approach to this case, not an emotional one. This is also backed up by the fact that they’ve already been deliberating for more than five hours #DeppVsHeard #DeppHeardTrial
