Mis(s)heard
Everybody and his neighbour
has an opinion
about Miss Heard and what they've heard.
Amber heard she'd just been served
and her case is now being heard in court.
I urge you not to
let her be misheard
but allow Mr Depp
and Miss Heard
to both be heard.
Both famous, and dramatic,
both volatile and emphatic,
a lot of shit went down;
they say she's faking,
he's a victim,
she wants money
and she hit him.
Do not dismiss the woman's
claims of violence against her
until all the evidence has been heard.
Have you heard
what Mr Depp heard
and what Miss Heard heard?
Listen to their words
and not the ones you're being fed.
Ensure the trial is fair
so nobody's misheard.

Clever & cool...
I am interested to hear the verdict, honestly...
IMO... From what I see & infer...
The evidence is all unsubstantiated & circumstantial...
But you can never tell...
If Depp wins... I guess she will have to declare bankruptcy...
I think both of their careers will be hurt...

Re: Re. Mis(s)heard
I'm not following it particularly closely, but my teens have a bit more idea what's going on. All the coverage seems to be overwhelmingly in favour of her ex (who doesn't love Johnny Depp after all?) and I didn't want to add to her critics. It's important that they are both listened to and judged fairly. Both report being victims of DV, and it's not our job to judge. Not saying I'm on her side, just hoping she gets a fair trial.

Thank you. I think Johnny Depp is probably just so gross and vile.

I think there is probably blame on both sides, but the coverage seems to be one-sided.

Whatever the rights or wrongs of the situation (and I don't know enough to make that call), nobody deserves to be mocked and criticised by the entire world before the case has even concluded. Let the jurors decide, not the armchair experts.

Which I think I was expecting. I just thought the press/ media/ TIktok coverage was very unfair.

According to my teens (who watched most of it and followed closely), Amber was heavily criticised by all the media, and found guilty by the public before the whole case had even been heard. Many of the comments and accusations were just vile.

But that wouldn't have swayed the jury, as they are not allowed to get involved with any outside influences during the trial. I think he won it fair & square, although I dare say he has a problem with drugs!
