Amber Heard calling Johnny Depp back to the stand could be a “risk” — partly because of how likable he was when he testified in the former couple’s bombshell defamation trial, legal experts told The Post.as they argue her side in the ongoing courtroom battle in Fairfax, Virginia., came across as believable and likable to the jury, experts said — noting that giving him a second round on the stand might hurt Heard’s case.
Halim Dhanidina – a former California judge and current criminal defense attorney – said Depp’s “very unique personality” likely made him appealing to the jury the first time around. “Right now we are hearing Amber Heard’s … side of the story,” said Lizardo, an attorney who represents plaintiffs in civil suits.“To call her opponent to speak on your behalf sounds counterintuitive.”
“Most of the time when you are doing cross examination it sounds hostile,” she explained. “A jury might think ‘Okay, he’s back on the stand. Are they badgering him again?'” “I would suspect that they would want to cut [Depp] down to size,” Virginia defamation attorney Jeremiah Denton told The Post.
