Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard courtroom NOTEBOOK with 'unseen' details ON SALE for $15K on eBay
A courtroom notepad detailing unseen events from the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard defamation trial is up for sale on eBay for nearly $15K.
In one of the most-discussed trials in recent times, a Virginia-based jury ruled in a unanimous decision that Heard, 36, defamed Depp, 58, when she called herself a victim of domestic abuse in a 2018 op-ed for The Washington Post. Heard was ordered to pay $15 million in damages, including $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages, but Judge Penney Azcarate reduced the punitive damages to $350,000 as per Virginia state law. Meanwhile, the jury also awarded Heard compensatory damages of $2 million as she was defamed when Depp's lawyer Adam Waldman called her abuse allegations a hoax.

Johnny Depp said he wanted to 'move forward', Amber Heard has a reply to that!
Larry Forman, a trial lawyer from Kentucky, told TMZ how he sat in on the trial that took place at the Fairfax County Courthouse in Virginia and jotted down some notes. Forman, who goes by the handle @KyDUIGuy on Twitter, explained that he initially went to court as a one-off moment, but his friends told him to go back again and continue taking notes. By the time the verdict was announced, Forman's notebook had nearly 20 pages worth of content per day and covered between 23 to 26 days of the case.
The notebook supposedly details reactions from jurors that weren't picked up by the cameras. After the case concluded, the lawyer decided to put his memoirs up for sale on eBay. The current bid on the listing entitled 'TOP SECRET: Johnny Depp Jury Trial Notes on Juror's Reactions to Amber Heard' stands at a staggering $14,469. The notebook reportedly has 132 bids with just under 10 hours left until it's sold at the time of publication.

Forman, who is also the CEO of Forman & Associates, told TMZ that he doesn't intend to keep the money for himself, and will instead donate the proceeds to the Children's Hospital in Los Angeles. The eBay seller reportedly thought it was fitting as Heard previously testified that she would donate the divorce settlement amount she received from Depp to charity.
It's worth noting that multiple memorabilia items from the multi-million-dollar trial are being sold for eyebrow-raising amounts on reseller sites. One of the items, a 'Johnny Depp Trial Wristband Overflow', was reportedly sold for a whopping $375 on eBay. TMZ said it scoured through "tons of listings" and found some sellers who were hoping to make "nearly 4-figures" for a paper bracelet.
That said, Depp appears to have moved on with his life following the jury verdict that overwhelmingly favored him in his case against Heard. The actor enjoyed a drinking sesh with his pal Sam Fender in Newcastle and even performed live on stage with British rock guitarist Jeff Beck. The acclaimed musician has since revealed that he and the 'Donnie Brasco' star are set to release an album together. "I met this guy five years ago and we've never stopped laughing since," Beck said. "We actually made an album. I don't know how it happened. It will be out in July." Depp also made his TikTok debut on Tuesday, June 7, sharing a video thanking his doting fans for their "unwavering" support throughout the six-week trial.
