Amber Heard's defence attorney claimed Johnny Depp would try to turn the defamation cause against his ex-wife into a "soap opera," but warned that it was a distraction.
Ben Rottenborn, Heard's lawyer, said the case was about her First Amendment rights to discuss her experiences, and argued that context matters and asked the jury to read the entire article she wrote for The Washington Post – which led to the lawsuit – and not just the parts highlighted by Depp.
