#IBelieveAmberHeard: Hashtag trends after being hijacked by Johnny Depp fans

'#IBelieveAmberHeard was violent towards her ex 'wife', her sister, her best friend & her then husband', says a user while taking a dig at her

The Johnny Depp-Amber Heard defamation saga doesn’t seem to get over. Heard, who lost to Depp in the Virginia court, has now claimed a mistrial to be declared in her defamation case against ex-husband Depp. According to her lawyer, a ‘due process was compromised’ in the high-profile trial as a wrong juror, who was not listed for duty, became a part of the trial, and therefore the court should dismiss the June 1 verdict and order a fresh trial. Responding to her demand, Depp’s fans slammed her as they took a dig at #IBelieveAmberHeard.

"#IBelieveAmberHeard is trending again and it's not what you think We believe she's a liar, a narcissist, a gold digger, a user, an abuser, a psycho... We believe she is many things but one thing we do not believe is that she's innocent!," wrote one user. Another individual said, "#IBelieveAmberHeard was violent towards her ex 'wife', her sister, her best friend & her then husband..... because the evidence in a court case said so! #JusticeForJohnnyDepp"

The troll continued with one of them saying, "Only thing embarrassing about the Depp v Heard trial was Amber Heard herself. All those audio recordings, her appearances on the stand, the FACT she LIED about donating $ to ACLU or ran to TMZ instead of police--its all there. #IBelieveAmberHeard ? Go ahead- Good luck with that." Another user pointed out, Here’s a question for you… Amber will never admit accountability for her lies, manipulation, hate and abuse. She’ll never own it and move forward. That is why she is cancelled. She is a liar. Along with all #IBelieveAmberHeard cult bots, and gullible idiots like #EveFartlow"

Heard demands fresh trial 

Heard’s lawyers are now alleging that a wrong juror was seated in the defamation trial, as per reports. According to a Deadline report, a 77-year-old individual was called for jury duty but a 52-year-old, who appears to live at the same address as the 77-year-old and also shared "the same surname", showed up at the court. The latter was the juror, who ended up seating on the jury throughout the trial.

Attorney Elaine Bredehoft said, “In this case, it appears that Juror No. 15 was not, in fact, the same individual as listed on the jury panel. Ms. Heard’s due process was therefore compromised. Under these circumstances, a mistrial should be declared, and a new trial ordered.” The filing read, "In April, a summons was sent to a Virginia resident. The 77-year-old was called for jury duty, but the 52-year-old showed up. Thus, the 52-year-old [redacted] sitting on the jury for six weeks was never summoned for jury duty on April 11 and did not ‘appear in the list,’ as required."

On the other hand, as per NY Post, Depp’s team said that even if “a son served instead of his father, there would be no prejudice, as Juror 15 was qualified to serve as a juror in Fairfax County and was vetted by the court and the parties counsel just as all of the other jurors were.”
