'People are going to marinate in [Heard's testimony]': Heard's words, chronicling abuse she claims to have endured from Depp, will hand her defense an edge that could play a role at deliberation, legal experts tell NBCNews.
A Fairfax, Virginia jury heard two days of Heard's riveting account of her tumultuous relationship with the"Pirates of the Caribbean" star before court was adjourned Thursday evening.
In graphic detail, Heard chronicled multiple alleged instances of physical violence and brutal beatings from Depp.sexually assaulting her with a bottleShe told jurors that Depp had pinned her down and was"pummeling" her so viciously that she thought,"This is how I die. He's going to kill me now. He's going to kill me, and he won't even have realized it.
Trial attorneys keep a close eye on the calendar, and winning the battle for the last word before an afternoon coffee break, weekend adjournment or week-long gap can matter. "It's not a wash, it does favor her," Gabriel added."The timing of trials is very important — when you introduce things, who gets to go last. Who speaks before a weekend. All that stuff matters.", any points she scores with jurors are potentially more valuable.
"I've seen this in divorce cases and judges who have handled divorces cases would tell you it's possible [for jurors] to not believe either side, 'a pox on both your houses,'"Cevallos said."It's possible neither of them are credible and if that's the case, then Johnny Depp hasn't met his burden."
