Description

Nick Wallis was the first journalist to break the news that Johnny Depp had lost his libel claim against NGN at the High Court in London in July 2020.

That hadn't been the plan. When Nick started live tweeting the case from within the courtroom he became the inside track for interested followers around the world. Now Nick is travelling to Virginia to see if he can follow the second instalment of this extraordinary confrontation.

Nick will be recording outside the court (no electronic devices are allowed inside the courtroom on this occasion!), speaking to those around him, and summarising each day's proceedings in a daily edition of this podcast.

In the middle of this trial will be 10 days of live examination and cross-examination of the two famous faces at the centre of this case. A jury will ultimately decide the outcome, but this podcast will be your daily digest from the courtroom in the celebrity trial of the century.

Reporting Depp v Heard is presented by Nick Wallis. Find out more: http://reportingdeppvheard.net

On Wednesday the jury announced their verdict to Fairfax County Court, where Nick was eagerly waiting. They have unanimously agreed that Amber Heard's 2018 Washington Post article was written with defamatory intent, malice and crucially was totally untrue. In this final episode, Nick debriefs you on the moment the jury delivered their verdict, speaks to fans around the court and catches up with some familiar faces from the park bench.

The podcast comes full circle as we end with the same park bench guest we first started with, Natasha Miller - a Johnny Depp supporter from Colorado who made it into court every single day of this trial bar 3. Nick and Natasha - who first met on jury selection day 7 weeks ago - discuss the final day of court where we heard closing arguments and the jury received their instructions. The pair also reflect on the process as a whole - the people they’ve met, the personal journeys they’ve been on and their thoughts about the verdict. But with court now wrapped and the jury busy deliberating, all we can do is wait… Find out more at reportingdeppvheard.net A TBI Media production (www.tbimedia.co.uk)
The trial starts to wrap with today being the last day in court before closing arguments and jury instructions tomorrow, and Nick discusses the day’s events with Angenette Levy of the Law and Crime Network. The pair recapped the 3 experts who appeared as rebuttal witnesses - an orthopaedic surgeon, a meta data expert and a psychologist - as well as Amber Heard herself.  Nick will be back in 24 hours with his final podcast update before the verdict - which is thought to be sometime next week.

As Amber Herd enters Fairfax County Court you can hear the chants of; "Amber Turd". On today's Park Bench interview, after Day 22 of the trial Nick sits down to chat to Priscilla, who has come dressed as a giant turd.  Has the trial been reduced to a circus? Does she think her actions dissuade DV victims from coming forward? And does it bother her what Amber thinks of the greeting? The end of the trial gets closer, and the Park Bench interviews are definitely getting weirder.  Find out more at reportingdeppvheard.net A TBI Media Production (www.tbimedia.co.uk)
We're into the final week of evidence in the Depp v Heard trial at Fairfax County Court in Virginia.  No Johnny Depp on the stand today as was expected, but Nick runs through the witnesses who were called, including one expert witness who Nick describes as "One of the most extraordinary spectacles" not just of this trial but any he's witnessed.  Plus there's a Fairfax County Park Bench interview with Dan the Amber Heard fan, and Input Mag journalist Jessica Lucas is on the remote park bench.

Day 20 of Depp v Heard.  There are two Park Bench interviews in this episode. Isabelle Orsini (@Izze1122 on Twitter) has been creating content about the trial on social media. Nick gets her insight into how, and why, the trial has been played-out in memes and short viral clips, and how that affects our sense of 'justice'.   Plus Sam, who was at first interested in the social content which has taken the internet by storm, but has since been driven to delve deeper into the facts of the case.  They're both excellent guests, with unique perspectives.  Next week is the final week of the case - we'll be back with daily episodes ahead of the verdict some time after Memorial Day.  Find out more at reportingdeppvheard.net  A TBI Media Production (www.tbimedia.com)

Amber Heard's cross-examination is over.

Nick wraps up the final day from week three of Depp v Heard. Today his park bench interview was with Sarah, a recent Journalism graduate who enjoyed her first ever day in court. She discussed with Nick her favourite three witnesses from the day: Malcolm Connolly - Johnny Depp’s Scottish bodyguard, Edward White - Depp’s business and financial affairs manager, and Terence Dougherty of the American Civil Liberties Union - the counsel who helped Amber Heard draft her Washington Post op-ed and confirmed the article was about Depp. Find out more at reportingdeppvheard.net A TBI Media production (www.tbimedia.co.uk)
In this episode Nick updates you on the latest from Depp v Heard on the penultimate day of week three. Today his park bench interview is with fellow court attendees Jennifer, Java and Sharon.

Nick also met the fans who wait to catch a glimpse of Depp as he leaves court each day hoping to get a signature or photo, and asked whether they thought the court case was worth it for Johnny. We’ll be back tomorrow with another round up the day’s events. Find out more at reportingdeppvheard.net A TBI Media production (www.tbimedia.co.uk)
