'Give Johnny Depp his life back’: Camille Vasquez delivers heartfelt plea to jury

She also slammed Amber Heard and her fake crying, calling it the "performance of a lifetime", and earned herself some well-deserved praise. Following her closing arguments, Depp made sure to make her feel appreciated by giving her a hug and a head pat and thanking her in a respectful way for being his voice. Depp's fans took to social media to express how much they are loving how lawyers Ben Chew and Camille Vasquez have gone the extra mile to defend their favorite star.

One fan tweeted, "Johnny thanking camille. this is so cute. i’m so proud of her #camillevasquez #johnnydepp #justiceforjohnnydepp."

Another Depp fan appreciated Vasquez and wrote, "When you go into battle you are always flanked by your strongest warriors. They stood, by his side, and fought valiantly.

Camille Vasquez's closing statement

Depp's lawyer ended the rebuttal closing statement by arguing, "While you deliberate, ask yourselves why Mr Depp would put himself through this, expose every embarrassing detail of his life on national television. If he was guilty of anything, anything that Ms Heard accuses him of, we ask you, we implore you to render a verdict [for] Mr Depp. We ask you to set the record straight that he is not the abuser she described and that she is not the heroic survivor she portrayed."

Vasquez tried to persuade the jury into seeing the bigger picture. She added, "You either believe all of it or none of it. Either Mr Depp assaulted Ms Heard with a bottle in Australia, or Ms Heard got up on that stand, in front of all of you, and made up that horrific tale of abuse."

The deliberations for the defamation trial began on Friday afternoon. If the jury did not come to a decision by the end of the day, it is expected to return on Tuesday as it is a long holiday weekend.
