I would like to congratulate Amber Heard and her outstanding legal team for the great job they did in restoring Johnny Depp's reputation 👍
Good one😂
I would like to thank Amber for choosing her lawyers, I’d like to take this time to thank her lawyer who objected to his own question whilst taking testimony from one of Ambers witnesses. And finally like to take the opportunity to thank Elaine who wasn’t a full set of tools before she took Amber on.
I can only hope she’s still sane.
Johnny not being in court was the right move. He was there for the entirety but once it went to the jury for deliberation and there was nothing more he could do, he immediately continued to live his life. MESSAGE: I'm not going to let you (Amber) steal any more of my life with your craziness.
Johnny has things to do and places to go. Amber has nothing better to do but try to rout out more publicity. So happy Johnny wasn't there to have to be physically near her. Done and over!!!
i didnt think she would be there tbh, but now that u mention this, it was such a power move to not be there while she still was, and good on Johnny, he sat in court the lesser time than her, i hope she felt as it was a rub in her lying face.
@@DeRockMedia another power move would be if JD donated some money to the LA childrens hospital 😄
@@DeRockMedia Johnny actually has somewhere to go. Where is AH gonna go? LOL. I hope she won't get any more work in Hollywood.
Well mentioned. At first, I thought it’d be wiser for Johnny to be present. Now, that you mention it the way you did--SPOT ON!
Ha..I wonder what advice Jeff Beck gave him. 🤔
I honestly think that Johnny knew if he won that he wouldn't see a penny. This was about getting some semblance of his quality of life back.
I agree. He simply wanted Justice and the truth to be revealed.💕🐾🙏🏻 ⚖️
I agree. He simply wanted Justice and the truth to be revealed.💕🐾🙏🏻 ⚖️ I must say, some of the jury instructors were somewhat confusing.
Agree. Its not about the money, it was always about not letting her keep telling lies and bad mouthing him.
I mean, why would he care about the money? Dudes got enough to use a million just to wipe his own ass lmao
If Johnny Depp had lost this case, women will riot right there and then.
Johnny not being there tells us he didn’t care about anything but telling the truth about this batch
You were the only lawyer online that I saw that was smart enough to figure out (yesterday) that the jury had answered YES to Q1, when the jury popped the question to the court regarding Q3 in section C. Well done Bruce, you are a class above the rest.
Bruce is what a real lawyer looks like just like Camille and Ben.
Naw The lead attorney was on that to
Yes! He’s the best out of all the lawtubers
nate the lawyer also figured it out
Absolutely!!!
“Tell the world Johnny. Tell them Johnny Depp, I, Johnny Depp, a man, I'm a victim too of domestic violence and I know it's a fair fight, and see how many people believe or side with you.” - Amber Heard.
He did, the world believed him.
Thank you for your incredible input and explaining in Layman's terms, great job.
Karma came and slayed the true monster. The world believed.
Those words are going to HAUNT her FOREVER!!!
This isn't the emotional reaction you'd expect to see from a victim who isnt receiving justice, this is much more the reaction of someone unfamiliar with the word no, hearing it for the first time.
Look at the hatred in her eyes as she stares down the jurors who "betrayed" her
When they all individually say yes she makes eye contact with all of them like “how dare you”
Yes, I think you are right.
She wanted people to see " the poor me" image, hanging her head down. Totally the opposite of her chin up in the air, looking arrogant and annoyed. Just ready for her future interviews, slamming Johhny again and blaming him for his power. Stand by Oprah.............sigh.
you’re giving her too much credit. she doesn’t have the shame or humility to have that thought. she is sitting there plotting her revenge, constructing new lies and shit that never happened.
💯💯💯
The Jury didn’t buy any of her crazy stories one bit. I was so relieved for JD. On a cosmic level, I was afraid of what it would mean if the
jury didn’t see the obvious truth. Faith restored …Justice was served.
" Tell the world Johnny, see how many people believe you." HE did, WE
listened, WE believed him. HE WON. Got the justice he deserves.I dont think it was about money Johnny he just wanted his life back.
Yes definitely I so agree with you 👏
Omg did Johnny win
Well said!
I think the money is only a significance due to damages what the op ed caused. Johnny could have easily write 15 dollars or 10 million. For him it didn't matter. Info came out about his ex-wife, what kind of person she really is.
@@SpodermanEU he won
The jury did a good job IMO truly deciding on the evidence that was presented. She claims it’s a set back for women, but her lies actually have hurt true victims tremendously.
Its not a setback. Moreso a push forward for men who can come out with abuse claims and now be listened to. She does cause people to havr to produce more evidence though
Totally agree. She shuts down her Twitter to only her friends. She's delusional.
I felt validated today too
Amber 不能代表女性,她只能代表她自己,一个说谎的施虐者。
I don't think 10M is fair. He lost a lot more than that because of her accusations.
@@arunkp20 she doesn't have the money to pay the award so in a way the amount is irrelevant.
She admitted so many times of hitting him, AND she admitted writing the op-Ed about Johnny. And the recordings were priceless.
Damn I cried... as a survivor I felt relief and Joy for him. It sucks not to be believed
It takes tremendous courage to withstand abuse by a woman without retaliating
Finally a genuine expression of sadness on Amber Heard’s face. Definitely not faking her reaction now. She single-handedly set back the momentum gained by the MeToo movement and all survivors of abuse. The worst part is that it never had to happen. Amber Heard received $7 M, tax-free and all she had to do was take the money and walk away. But, she couldn’t keep her mouth shut and wanted to get her 15 minutes of fame. Well, now she’s the most hated woman in the world. #MenToo! #JusticeForJohnny
Unfortunately, I agree it will hurt #MeToo. I've already seen some conservative sites pushing that. But I prefer that it simply hold people accountable to *evidence* again instead of convicting the party who accuses second when there is no evidence.
The main thing was there was suspect photographic evidence and suspiciously missing medical evidence and massive evidence that Amber was lying... often. I relate the ruling more to vengeful liars than to #metoo.
She's done more harm to victims of domestic abuse than any woman.
Fake sad.
So very true there , I bet she cried herself to sleep last night, hahahahah
You’re absolutely right, it was genuine sadness, sadness for the money she thought she would get if she had win this case.
She still can't shed a tear, and she still is trying to spin that it was because he had "fans" on the jury! They ignored her "mountain of evidence" 🙄
Thank God this trial was televised!
Exactly! What evidence AH? Where’s the pictures of your SLICED up bloody feet? How about your swollen face from getting beat with brass knuckles? Where’s the medical records when you were raped by the bottom of a Patron bottle? This woman doesn’t stop. I hope she gets sued again - for perjury.
She a goofy
that proves she is a wacko narcissist
she never think that she is wrong, so she wont shed a tear
their own delusion clogged their tear duct
@@outlawlife8894 🤣🤣
she also still makes it about gender, what a worst
I was cheering and clapping as the verdict was read. What a glorious day for survivors of domestic abuse. What a great day for all the men who suffer in silence. I hope this trial will give some people the courage to break free of abusive relationships.
I actually cried! I was so happy!
And start recording things like Johnny did🥰!
I was at work and ran out of my office cheering as well lol. I support the truth not her truth.
I was in tears saying thank you for supporting the actual victim.
I'm in Australia and I woke up my wife and cheered together, 6am, lol
I'm so glad the jury could see through her mountain of lies & BS. Congratulations to Johnny & his team. 🥳❤
The statement Amber released after the trial leaves her opened to be sued again for defamation. I heard she is appealing. I hope before she does Johnny gets her in court again asap. She said she just wanted to move on but she is the one that keeps coming back. She is insane imo. She is downright scary.
I hope Camille makes partner. She deserves it.
Thank you Mr. Rivers for covering this trail and giving us your opinions.
He’s done he won’t sue he just wanted justice and he got it case closed
I just hope Johnny moves on. Everyone knows the truth
No it doesn't. There are no losses which could be proven
Why would he sue more? She is broke now. Cant take money where none is left...
@@godmode8687 Also, I don't think her statement afterwards is going to cost him anything, so no damages.
And then she walked out to the press and slandered him AGAIN... she is unbelievable.
I give her a week until she sticks her foot so far in her mouth he has another case.
Well, that's smart. You lose defamation, and what you do? Defame again.
No one cares what she says anymore.
True
If you think about it she’s a pathological liar and this is a mental illness so it’s not surprising to me that she keeps doubling down on her position. Plus, she’s been thoroughly humiliated and exposed. She tried to ruin JD for financial gain, and it not only backfired on her, but the legal team made it abundantly clear that she conspired against him from the beginning. In other words - now the world knows that she’s a trifling beyattch!
I find Heards post verdict statement .....“The disappointment I feel today is beyond words. I’m heartbroken that the mountain of evidence still was not enough to stand up to the disproportionate power, influence, and sway of my ex-husband"...is very inflammatory and suggests she will continue to make statements that risk further litigation.
She just called the jury liars. Everyone save her is a liar.
Camille said it’s time to turn the page. I’m so with her. They should move on and be happy. Get therapy… But for this sick person it will never stop, because she didn’t get things her way. It’s sad. Like she lives in another world… she will only continue to burn herself.
@@amisguidedgh0st It IS sad . . . I legitimately feel bad for her, not because she lost, but because SHE'S so lost.
I dont think she will have much time, shes going to face jail time in uk for lying in court, also facing jail time in australia for smuggling in her dogs
@@shadowbreed29 I hope she does cous her lies were jus too many.
“I was in another trial separate from this matter…kicking some ass”
TELL EM BRUCE!! 😂💯🔥
He didn't need to tell - we all knew. Uncle Bruce was just flexing on us.
“While I was in trial kicking some ass 💀”💀literally best lawyer
From an outsider non-American: it was heartening to see a judicial system working at its best. Well-matched and (mostly) respectful lawyers; a judge who was calm and on point; and a jury who came to a conclusion based on the evidence. I’m old enough to remember the OJ case debacle.
And what a debacle that was !
Where you from bro?
OJ had one juror that was assaulted by the cops and had false charges by the cops on him, so hr was never under any circumstance going to reject a story about cops framing a black man.
@@deathknizzle if you watch the ESPN doc on OJ they actually had more than one black juror who said they were never gona convict OK. It was basically a “make up call” for Rodney King, and a lot of other racist acts from the LAPD. Not to mention the prosecutors dropped the ball numerous times
OJ was such an embarrassment. Another one I thought justice was wrong is the Menendez brothers. In 2022 it wouldn’t have gone that way.
Props for being the ONLY lawyer reaction to correctly interpret the jury question.
I second that! Thanks Bruce. I slept better last night after listening to your interpretation of the question from the jury. You rock!!!!
No one on any of the legal shows touched that. That’s why I ❤️ BR.
@@leilaadams5595 same!
1,000% . I think the fact that Bruce isn't racing to beat the otheranalysis gives him the huge advantage of actually analyzing things lol. It also helps that he is able to explain things simply as opposed to using legal jargon to explain legal jargon lol.
The DUI guy also said it right away. He made the same point about the jury form.
This trial showed how someone like Amber can waste so much time & money when everyone except the media could see that she was lying. I hope to never see another trial like this.
They didn't care. What, on earth, makes you think that the media cares about the truth?
@@liordagan9342 At this point she seems to have flipped the media by persuading them to publicly promote an arrogant abuser who is willing to lie both in court and in the media and contradicts everything she has said under oath. Have the media changed their policy to "believe all abusers?"
@@sharonjuniorchess There is no principle here, except that they are right, and have high ratings. They ran with Amber, for ratings, nd for social engineering. When she became a liability, they turned on her. You are not trying to think like a full-fledged NPD. They are no better than her, morally, they are just (maybe) smarter.
But we will. There are thousands and hundreds of thousands of women just like her
Are you kidding?!
It was RIVETING watching Herd get buried underneath ALLL her own B.S.
and completely LOSE, when she thought the whole time she was going to win with lies.
Who doesn't love seeing narcissists
get exactly what they deserve in the end.
So happy for him!! He can now live his life, without the weight of her false accusations on his back. Justice prevails!!
In theory yes. But they will always be a section of the public who will refuse to see what everyone else saw and believe the accusations. Plus I can -unfortunately- already see Heard's 'redemption' narrative. How 'She suffered from mental health and wasn't completely sure about what he was doing because of them issues'.
Depp has his chapter closed but I really don't think the book is finished yet - and if she was willing to use abuse as her toys and find witnesses and expert testimonies to back her up, she's not beneath mitigating her culpability through mental health.
@@mikebell7446 true- I’ve already seen a nauseating amount of people still sticking up for her. It’s horrifying people could watch this entire case & continue to blindly support her.
@@mikebell7446 this!! I agree
@@itsybitsyblondie457 I am sure some lie and SAY they watched it. But if you did not watch the whole, or substantially nearly all, of the trial I think you have no integrity in opposing the verdict.
DV survivor here. Finally ran from my abuser three months ago. Now going through a brutal divorce and custody fight where he’s telling everyone *I* abused *him*. I know the Depp v Heard verdict has nothing to do with the outcome of my case, but it was somehow incredibly vindicating to hear the jury’s decision today.
Also incredibly deserved...
Good luck in your case for justice. Stay strong, it took Johnny a few tries.
Been there done that...well, the divorce part is complete but the custody is still going on since 2010 ..
that is awful, I hope you can also get the justice you deserve.
Always remember never to feel down or depressed over some sick person that had no regard for your physical or mental wellbeing ,fight on strong you will reach happiness and quality of life again.
AH needs to be a "case" study for all psychiatrists to give as an example of detachment from reality
More like detachment from honesty and integrity.
@@glitterspray true...
Don't forget a sociopathic woman.
Dont forget your boi Johnny.
@@DNForeverable ?
I’m surprised she didn’t actually cry here. You would think if you truly went through such horrendous events and the person responsible for your pain and trauma won this type of case after you revealed them, you would be broken, devastated. I mean I would be super upset. Ngl, when the verdict was read and over, I was kinda scared for her sister. She seems to be her punching bag source 🥺
She can’t cry over what didn’t happen. She’s a terrible actress. If she cries, it only for herself since she lost.
@@jenniferbond7073 still my point
DON'T FEEL SORRY FOR WHIT SHE NEW WHAT HER DISGUSTING SIS WAS DOING TO JOHNNY WHIT USED JOHNNY HER WAY DON'T GORGET THUS THEY ALL NEW ROCKY JOSH IO I MEAN IO ABUSED LILY ROSE THEY R ALL FILTHY LYING ABUSERS
as a narc abuse survivor, this verdict is everything. this is why everyone is so interested in this case: this type of abuse happens to every kind of person, and it's always the same. as difficult as this trial was to listen to at times, hearing the details was oddly comforting: due to the amount of gaslighting and manipulation that goes on in these types of relationship dynamics, it validates *everything* we know we experienced and it validates *everything* that we escaped from. this is huge.
Yes, I think that sufferers or survivors of people like Heard will feel almost as though they too won.
my aunt, grandmother, middle school best friend (actually diagnosed), and one of my former employers ALL have bpd imo because they act EXACTLY like this and i thought that before i even knew who amber was. they think they’re so clever and so convincing but they’re just delusional and they become predictable when you meet enough of em
I agree. I drank a mega pint of wine last night to celebrate Johnny. I remember the day that a court gave me my name back and sent a clear message to my abusive ex that what he did was wrong. I have not and probably never will receive the settlement my ex owes me--but I have a happy life free of his oppression!
drah di net um oh oh oh someone close to me suffers with it. Finally at age 32, she is getting treatment. It takes them awhile because they don’t think anything is wrong.
Kaylee that is so true and accurate. Yes it is of instrumental importance. Let's have more Justice now!!!!🤍
I think Johnny Depp was only interested in clearing his name, and didn’t/doesn’t care about the money. I’d be willing to bet that IF Heard actually paid him, he would give it to charity. I believe he just wants this entire nightmare behind him. As for her, I think she is very dangerous, and I hope Johnny’s security is really on top of this because I do not see her going quietly away. BTW, I was looking for your input specifically…great job and thank you for your wise insights..
Agreed. That's why she befriended this Eve Barlow person, a journalist who is as spiteful and bitter as Amber is, apparently. Those two are just getting going. And yes, Johnny Depp should be worried about his own safety, and possibly even the safety of his family.
Yes she is nutcase and wont go quietly but she must be careful now. She will be penniless wont be able to afford another court case.
The court needs to sanction her from making future claims of this kind against Johnny. Can they direct her to stop her friends and reps from making similar claims too?
With her true character in public, everyone is alerted. We call it BPD but in descriptive language she is just a bully and a thief. She wanted to steal his reputation, money, energy and anything and everything else she could snatch. Evil. She wanted to switch roles. But thank God, Depp and others unlocked and uncovered her nasty, nasty pathology. It takes so much effort, it's exhausting but it's just the best! She is exposed for the world to see, to know. Thank heavens. Now, we only have to say... "Amber alert" and everyone will know what we mean.
This is one of the problems with false accusations. When the target clears their name they are relieved and do not want to pursue the case any further. What should really happen is we then hold these false accusers to account, prosecute them and put them in prison.
Amber needs to write a new op Ed, “I lied about being a victim of abuse and faced my ex, Johnny Depp’s wrath”.
And the society’s wrath when they realised what a lying piece of poop I am!
I would rather we never here from her again. Her career is done in Hollywood.
She can always work as a waitress or adult worker.
But first she needs to sell her secret house 🏠 😏. Johnny needs his money 💰 back.
She just released a statement calling this a blow to all abused women. She's still playing the poster child for abuse victims. And the media is letting her do this unchallenged.
Yes 👌 👏 💯
I sure wish I had found you before the trial ended. Excellent coverage, I'll be going back and looking at all of your videos covering the case. You're pro!
I feel the same I would watch everyone of your videos your coverage was done so well
I was delighted that Johnny won I never knew that a person could be that evil she is scary I would not be suprised if she does not do this again if anothr man is crazy enough to get involved with her.
Oh, I couldn't WAIT to hear your take!
BEEN WAITING ALL DAY 🤣
He was busy in court kicking ass.

I'm glad the jury got their verdict right as most of the world was rooting for this verdict. It's been fun and knowledgeable to watch the way you covered the whole trial. 👌

@@sekichdawn3913 im not being snarky, just being factual, that is all
I suppose.
I have always thought that allowing television cameras into the law courts was not a good idea. I have changed my mind. I am from the U.K. and now hope that some court cases will be televised. Often judgements by judges have been shockingly controversial and against the publics perception of the case. Not having seen the case, and relying on second hand opinions, not always truthful, has made us suspicious of our judiciary. Having watched this J.P. Vs A.P. case we were right to be suspicious. An opinion was formed by a judge reacting to the MeTo movement. We need tv in our courts. Keep them honest.
UK tabloids have a lot to answer for.. The whole world has had the opportunity to witness the evidence and testimony of this case and like the jury have made an informed decision. The behaviour and statements made by each party show who will move on with their lives and who will not .
There’s been at least 3 high profile televised cases where the evidence is overwhelming obvious and yet the jury decides based on either bias or afraid for their lives that they ignore the truth.
I honestly don’t think it makes any difference with reaching a fair verdict.
If they allowed cameras into the UK courts you would see that only evidence that suits the judge is allowed. Our court system is a joke and not even remotely fair which is why Depp lost in the UK.
Mog it's JD and Amber Heard. They are divorced. His last name is Depp.
It was a sad and shocking story of a man loving a woman who cared less for him. I got a lump in my throat a few times and had a cry and tears for his pain and sufferings at her hands.
Then Johnny gave us his sense of humour, and made us all laugh....his quick whitt and remarks were the best.
But seeing him cry, and his pain got me crying too. We know who've been there that pain.
I'm glad it's over for him.
What I will say though, is, I think Johnny should look at requesting all but the court case be removed from the internet. It's not right to have it rubbed in his face for the rest of his life what he was treated like. It just beings it all back. Who needs those shocking memories. I hope it is all removed for the greater good.🌷😊🙋 Me from England UK👍
Having transparent courts is one of the most important aspects of any free society. I don’t trust any country that keeps closed door courts.
I couldn't stop smiling when I heard the verdict
I'm so happy! I cried , I danced and I kept crying while hugging my 5 year old son ... I survived a DV and sexual abuse ... raising my son who has never met his abuser biological father. . . I am so greatful for this jury and most if all Johnny's Depp legal team! I always knew Amber lied, as a survivor we learn to identify real victims. And I knew from earlier in 2018, that for some reason Johnny was suffering abuse from that relationship. .... cheers to Johnny's life and peace! 🍷❤️🩹
May God bless you and all the best in your Life. You are a beautiful person. Good luck to your son .
From one survivor to another you are so right and many hugs from Costa Rica
Do you mean "rape"?
Because there is nothing calls "sexual abuse", it's just a big lie
U wanna baby daddy
I’m the guy . Lm proof it
It’s so rare to see such a unanimous blanket verdict to the plaintiff of a celebrity defamation case, let alone in a DV situation in favour of the man.
I hope good things come of this.
Is that what you think happened? I agree, it is rare, although among celebrity domestic violence cases involving at least one man, the percentage is probably not bad. It would be interesting to see the statistics.
Elaine looks so calm. I’m sure she’s relieved that it’s over. I’m sure she’s not surprised.
The best thing already happened today.
Johnny got his life back❤️
Mr.mRivers thank you so much for your excellent and clear analysis throughout this case. I really enjoyed listening to you.
@@marieharris1230 she's a very experienced lawyer. I think she knew that the outlook wasn't good the moment the case was actually admitted into proceedings and not settled out of court.
There's a striking difference in the emotions flying across her face during the verdict versus the expression of pain and sadness she had during the trial.
She can't believe her lies didn't work.
Finally saw real emotions
She still couldn't shed a single tear. Had Johnny won the whole 50 million, would a single tear come down her eyes? The world will never know.
@@seven719 To be fair, not everyone cries when they hear something sad.
@@thatsalt1560 true .... But l dont put a Kleenex to my nose and rub it around when I'm not crying
This is a woman who charged $6,000,000 in legal fees, twenty-seven times couldn't remember to turn on her courtroom microphone, and then lost the case. Of course she wants to appeal . Of all the lawyers in the US, how did AH choose to hire this woman in the first place? 🤔
Thank you.
Then to have her do PR for her on the news which only made her look worse. She makes the statement she can't afford the full payment to Depp but claims she can afford to appeal when you have to post bond for the entire amount. They just lie and lie to the cameras.
I swear Elaine is off with the pixies something bad. Fucking just..wow! “I’m trying, I’m trying..” 🤯🤯😵
Elaine actually has a good amount of experience and won a prize for her work. Either she got sloppy and thought she could easily win this or she had to deal with a client who was constantly deflecting, lying, gaslighting and exaggerating everything.
@@kleinmu219 Elaine was a terrible choice for this case. She (her firm broadly but but her specifically bc she was first chair) isn’t a trial attorney. She’s a litigator and idk what awards she’s personally won, but Ben Chew and his firm were warned about Elaine and the shady crap she’d try to pull. She has a reputation and it’s not good. But regardless of reputation, she’s not a trial attorney. It was a stupid idea to retain her.
Amber can’t appeal for ineffective assistance of counsel. That is not a right that applies in civil law. That’s a criminal law thing.
I'm not a fan of Johnny, but no one deserves to be lied on like that and get away with it.
The judge was unbiased and allowed the jury to do their job without be persuaded by in a certain direction by the court.
The American justice system is beautiful when it works out this way!!!
I'd say all justice system are beautiful when they work correctly without being biased or corrupted... which is unfortunately not as often as we'd like.
Is it? The trial cost Amber over 6 million so who can get this justice. It was a nice show and I'm happy Depp somewhat cleared his name(media still portraits him as bad guy) but as for justice it still remains any woman can do this to any guy and he's f*cked .
@@michaelwaninger3155 that’s true when it comes to money 💰
@@LFCEVO24 dang, you’re extremely efficient with cut and paste. Your comments are flawed and opinions are incorrect however.
Justice system is a mess when it works like this. Cameras, popularity contest. What are you all talking about.
Johnny's team kicked A$$ ! And they're right.. this resonates for women who lie, but especially for MEN who are abused. Say your piece. "YOU'RE WORTH IT!"
You were right yesterday when you said they answered yes to the first 2 questions and thats why they had a question on #3. You were the only one right abou this yesterday. I read what lots of lawyers had to say and they didn’t catch on to that. Thank you for talking about this case and breaking it down the way you did.👍🏽👍🏽
Agreed! I shuffled through at least 5 other lawtube channels. No one else was certain enough to call it like Bruce.
I think the despondent posture is the first authentic emotion we have seen from Amber throughout this case. The breathing changes. We then see her disassociate a bit, probably retreating into her head before finally realizing she needs to "perk up" for the cameras. Really, for once, her expressions seem real and it's almost a relief to see some humanity in her even if what we are seeing is the natural result of the "relief" of no longer sustaining a lie, even if just for a moment. Even if what we are seeing is the natural behavior of someone disappointed in her selfish and harmful goals, at least it's real. Imo.
Thank you Bruce. I’ve never been interested in celebrities but this..this was about human decency and how the law is applied to protect the wronged. You’ve explained this case with professionalism & a dose of wtf when needed. Gained a new subscriber from Australia
As the 10k “winner” of a civil lawsuit, I never saw a nickel of the judgement. The other party found it cheaper to just declare bankruptcy and I still had to pay my lawyer. But I won by golly. Johnny will have the same satisfaction.
Ugh, how annoying. Glad you won your case, but I imagine that a lot of losing parties declare bankruptcy to avoid paying out damages.
Winning is one thing, collecting is another. My friend's sister was drunk driving and put a motorcyclist in a wheelchair the rest of his life. He sued and won a 32 million judgement. A record in my state. But she's a part time massage therapist so its like trying to squeeze water from a stone. If someone smashes you up with their car, you want it to be Mark Zuckerberg or Elon Musk.
Bruce, I happened upon your channel during this trial. I’ve got to tell you that I have thoroughly enjoyed your insight and commentary. I’ve subscribed and look forward to watching more great trial coverage from you.
Me too by accident. Nice discovery
Same here, and I’m so glad I did!
Welcome aboard!
Agreed!
Me too
Some Reasons I Watched YOUR Response to Depp v Nobody:
- Your genuine responses
- Legal info
- Insights on good trial lawyering & comportment of all folks (cuz, court is an arena that reflects us as a people , & hopefully keeps us accountable to some aspects of decency)
So, please keep doing more of these things! 😁 Totally great job, sir!
If I were truly a victim in this situation, hearing my abuser not only get believed, but get damages and take more from me, I would be crying my eyes out, literally weeping, this is just another piece of evidence that she is not the abused.
my bet was thinking "shes either going to get outraged and stomp off with a hiffy fit... or she cries REAL tears for the first time (but not because she was a victim, but because she lost for once)
Never thought of it that way but I agree with you it makes sense and seems logical
@@DeRockMedia I felt the same exact way, yet not a single tear. Its hard for narcissists to cry though. I love how the icing on the cake is that the Jury (in my honest opinion) waited to give the verdict today because its world narcissistic abuse awareness day. And im all here for it
@@UMadUCauseBad holy crap, i had to look that up, thats purely poetic for sure! I dont know if she will be pissed or try to make it about her "they made this day up because of me!"
@@UMadUCauseBad the irony
My wife and I have totally loved your comments about this trial. You share professional knowledge and wonderful insights on lots of things that most of us are not aware of.
Several years ago, I ended up being the foreperson on a jury in a criminal case. The defendant was accused of sexually molesting an 8-year-old.
Testimony took a week. We deliberated for two hours and got to 11 to one in favor of convicting. It took another 4 hours to reach unanimity to convict.
I realized that the holdout was possibly in favor of convicting but was frustrated with the peer pressure to get on board.
It's quite a story how we reached concensus. I'm pretty proud of how I handled this.
The night after the trial, I came home and cried for a long time. Partly because of the weight of it all, but mostly because I realized that I was the one who mostly led us to convict, and I knew that beyond reasonable doubt doesn't mean no doubt.
It was a heavy burden.
I love so much about your insights. I look forward to hearing more from you!
Thank you for your service. I really mean it.
Don’t just sit by and watch this video because you’ve been following the JD / AH trial… Let’s get Bruce to 1M subscribers. This man deserves it, his content is unmatched. Love from the Caribbean.
You right, subscribed
“I would bet ya a dollar and a hole in a donut” 😂😂
It was so fascinating to watch this, I was an alternate last year for a murder case and it was so blatantly clear who did it, but watching the defense side make their case too was just fascinating and crazy to see how people look and act when they lie lol. I didn’t make it to deliberation since everyone showed up each day, but it was still a cool experience for me
THIS trial was fantastic and all of you did such a great job. I hope you guys find a lot of the memes just as funny as we do bc people are ruthless 😂😂
How did the jury in your case go? Did it go the way you would have deliberated? I'd be so frustrated being an alternate and have it swing the other way.
@@Vespyr_ Oh yes, it went exactly how I had hoped. He got life in prison. Jury found him guilty of first-degree murder, use of a gun during the commission of a felony, and felony possession of a gun. I wish I had gone to see the verdict but i knew I’d see an update online somewhere. Crazy to look that man in the eyes knowing he killed someone especially over something so benign. It was certainly frustrating but I was SO glad we had to wear masks at the time. NOBODY was gonna see my snarky facial expressions 😂Luckily it was a quick trial.
Does that mean i get a donut hole if I win? Or a donut with the hole removed (eg an eclair)?
JD'S lawyers were absolutely fantastic and showed it throughout the case.
Of all the lawyers i watched covering this trial. Youre the one i wholeheartedly trusted and helped me understand what was happening here much better. Especially yesterday. You sir, are awesome. Thank you for covering this, and thank you for sharing your knowledge with everyone 👍
When Bruce says “Now here’s the deal” you shut up and listen. Superb analysis throughout this chaotic saga, thank you Bruce!!
I have served as a juror three times in my life, so I find these big cases fascinating. I know how the process works in trial by jury. I enjoy your comments as a lawyer. I subscribed just this week and look forward to cases in the future as seen through your eyes.
Having watched this case from day one, I appreciate your intelligent, straight forward analysis, and sometimes snarky commentary on the Depp Vs Heard trial. You had me at "She's so full of bullshit!" 😂
I’ve subscribed to you, you had me at “You had me at “She’s so full of bullshit!” 😂
It was actually $8,359,000 because of punity limits of Virginia. It is important to note though, that even with that law, the jury basically said it was THAT bad.
Kind of reminds me of that one case, also borderline personality disorder. “No jury will convict me, mark my words” -Jodi arias. Your a fanatic lawyer Bruce, and I love listening to your perspective and voice!:) I wish the best for Johnny Depp.
I was remembering th about Jodi Arias as well , 2 sick women.
And just like Amber twisting it to say she meant that it was absurd for JD to claim DV when he was the abuser (eye rolling into the back of my head) Jodi Arias twisted it to say she had planned to end her life prior to trial so she couldn't be found guilty.....always have a comeback or excuse for every dumb thing they say. Their personality is built on finding ways to excuse their horrible behavior.
Good call, Goose. That is a tragic and bewildering case as well. The parallels between Jodi & Amber are apparent.
I think you meant to say "fantastic" :D
Man you made me laugh af :D
She Jodi Arias should have gotten dead sentence because it so cruel how she killed the ex boyfriend.
You regular updates and comments on the Depp Heard trial have been absolutely fascinating. Thank you, so much, for your informative, interesting, and analytical daily investigations into the various aspects of the case as the trial progressed. Having followed your videos during this particular case has lead me to look at some of your other videos. What a great way to begin to understand the American legal system.
Bruce - you’re a gutsy sharp attorney in the great tradition of individualistic no bs advocates of a different era. One of the best commentators out there by far. I became an instant fan after viewing a single rundown on this case.
I wasn't expecting this!!!! Man. ✨✨✨✨✨ my faith in the justice system is restored... Also, the most authentic emotion I saw on Amber's face during this trial. Also, she can have her sugar daddy pay for the damage she caused??? idk... But proud of the justice system here.
Men everywhere are going to avoid her. That is the gift that Depp gave Men. He let us know just how crazy she is. He proudly said, Hey, I tapped it for awhile but the crazy in this one is overbearing......stay away at all costs......or she will be the cost that breaks you.
Regardless if she has a sugar daddy to help 15 million to give away on a woman like AH is definitely not worth it. Highly doubt one of these millionaires will pay that..

@@magmasunburst9331 Ok
The pure professionalism of this man is amazing, you can't tell he's rooting for a side or not, you just hear yes to johnny depp and he has the same look he has the entire time no excitement. Truly a great man
Love your commentary on this! Wanted to let you know that one of the jurors spoke out on TikTok about the amount that they awarded Johnny Depp. He said that a few of the jurors, including himself, wanted to give him the full $50 million but they had to compromise on the amount so it would be a unanimous decision. That’s also why Amber won 1 of the judgements because there wasn’t proof that her & her friends did rough the place up & because the second call to 911 wasn’t put into evidence they couldn’t draw any conclusions on it. They didn’t believe Amber Heard, according to him.
I've served as a juror several times. I've enjoyed watching CLR, Bruce Rivers, breakdown cases and make them easy to understand. Can't wait for the Rust, Alec Baldwin, trial to begin and watch Bruce Rivers break it down for us to better understand. Thanks again Bruce.
You've been a juror several times?! Thank you for your service!
You jailed the wrong man
How on earth have you been a juror "several times"??
@@freddymars2014 it’s “random” but I’ve been called a lot. Usually if you’re selected. Which is unlikely 12-200 usually… you don’t get selected again.. many times? This guys lying, summoned is different than actually being a juror. This dude a lame
Edit: he’s a LAME not a lane
@@Abcdefghijllmnop It's not like they put a note in your file if you serve. Your odds of serving is dependent upon whether you meet whatever the standard is that the lawyers are looking for. It's not a lottery, there's specific criteria they look for.
If you're picked once, it actually makes you more likely to possess those traits, rather than less.
Social vs antisocial, educational background, thoughtful, alert. Sober...
I absolutely love your bluntness and 'down to earth' reactions. You call BS when you see BS, and you literally say bullshit. You simplify the law linguistics, add some humor and speak like an average 'Joe', yet remain professional. Cant wait to see your future reactions.
“See you down the road” Johnny’s last word at court… Big W and true Justice. Thank you for your coverage!
He wasn't at the court for this verdict. . .
@@nisfornoble4861 I’m talking about last week on the last day…
This was a just verdict. Bruce is right in that Johnny Depp will probably not collect a dime. He is a rich man. He doesn’t need the money, he needs his reputation back. HE GOT IT!
Bruce Rivers...he's OP. Called it out yesterday that the jurors must have answered yes to the prior questions. What a G
i feel for her lawyers, that was a tough job defending one with personality disorders.
Objection, hearsay!
The last days some of her team didn't look happy and Elaine was crying in the bathroom after the trial was over
And now Amber will probably trash and try to sue her lawyers. She won't take responsibility for this loss.
@@supermike615 who's question was it? Was it his own?
Bruce - "I have an actual job..that I was doing" haha
Thanks for the work you put into this, sir
This is so nice to see a real lawyer telling the truth and not continuing with MSM’s lies that AH is a real victim. This shows Bruce’s credibility!
Her lawyers didn't even look at her. I'm sure emotions had to be kept in check, but they didn't even hold her hand or put an arm around her. It clearly felt there was tension amongst them.
Her legal team know she is not getting paid
@@Gerrygambone Meaning they’re not getting paid, I guess.
She ran out the court room asap.
She PLEDGED their fees, lol
@@Gerrygambone yeah that isn't how it works. She can't not pay them.
Your prediction yesterday was spot on!
This case might be over, but I'll keep watching your videos because they're fun, educational, and have zero BS.
So glad I came upon your channel through this case, so keep em videos coming!
Kia ora from NZ! 🧡
Same here from across the ditch in Sydney
Great analysis of this trial. You're right, it was a lot of fun, but why wasn't Amber charged with perjury? Her lies were ridiculous.
Because it was a civil trial and not a criminal trial. Most courts don't have or want to spend the resources on it, which I think sets poor precedence. There is an inkling of hope that because the Aussies take perjury far more seriously there than here in America she will be charged for her bringing in the pups illegally. Johnny told her to leave the dogs at home, but she wouldn't listen. Imagine that.🙄
Because there's a process involved. IF a prosecutor was interested, they'd need to subpoena the evidence, review it, send it to the grand jury, do another round of depositions. The minimum amount of time it would take is something between 3-6 months.
That could still happen, but someone has to want to go through the effort to try her for that.
I heard rumors that the UK & AUS governments were maybe looking at perjury - but prob just internet BS floating around.
As I heard from a livestream, perjury is only prosecuted when it benefits the state. The prosecutor will only spend time to do it if they need to in criminal trials basically, or they use it to get reelected.
Wondering if she is actually going to pay, or is she gonna “pledge” it..
sure, pledge to pay until she wants
She's obligated by law to pay
@@Iza56 joke bro
Amen, pledge my ass!!
After this circus, virginia will make sure she pays it.
Wow... Idk when I became a member of the channel, Bruce (It was B4 this trial), but like a zombie, I'm picking apart the brains of how attorneys react. Yours, and Emily D Baker's have been my favorite so far. And, you didn't even do a live... I'm shocked how enthralled you are when talking about law, and how it makes you feel in a trial. Thanks for being informative.
Me too, Bruce and Emily are my mom and dad now.
@@hiitflex 😩 that’s what I’m calling them now. Both of them are my favorites too
Great job Bruce! When I saw your reaction to the jury question yesterday, I felt like Johnny would win.
I have the impression that Miss Heard didn't listen much to her lawyers, and that is frustrating, because it makes things harder for that team. She did it her way and get roasted. That being said, I watch JD's concert, and it looks like there was a lot that fell off his shoulders, and that is priceless for someone that is for a person that lived 6 years under attack. So yes, he can watch the future. Thanks for sharing your thoughts in this trial.
If she had listened to her lawyers she might not have lost.
Her lawyers are same as her bunch narcissistic
It’s not over until Bruce comments on it! I was waiting for this! Thank you for taking the time to cover this trial. It was so fascinating to see so many witnesses. I’ll be watching your coverage of other cases too.... I’m hooked! Dear Lord.... let JD and AH leave each other alone from this point forward! JD’s post trial statement was great. Hers showed that she hasn’t learned a thing. I feel sorry for anyone crossing her path.
Right and I can’t believe she has a baby 🥺💔 I hope she learns fast
Great commentary. Really appreciate your input. Just one stipulation, however: Virginia has a $350,000 cap on punitive damages, and the judge ordered that the $5,000,000 be reduced to that number. So, at the end of the day, Johnny Depp is really walking away with $8,350,000.
Also, actual malice is part of the standard for defamation and doesn't have anything to do with malicious intent or punative damages.
True, but when you mention the verdict you state what the jury awarded.
It's like when a 50 year old is given 167 years in prison, that's the verdict, not 32 years because that would align with how old people actually get :)
@@sebastianbuurgunvald8801 Bad example. A better one would be "20 to life" vs the 7 they usually get because of prison overcrowding.
the math is killing me....
you said the correct 350k cap. Punitive was 5m and reduced to 350k...
therefore he won 10 million...and he's getting 350k punitive which means he gets 10.35($10,350,000).
@@samanthabourne4865 But he is ordered to pay 2 million to her. That's net $8.35 million
Amber Heard the type of chick to text Johnny after this and ask if he wants to get back with her. That way, she can abuse him again and take him to trial again. Justice was served.
So true, euw.
I just started watching this guy Bruce during the depp trial. He is sincere, informed, articulate, likable and he’s a JCS fan. Subscribed.
Thanks for the great analysis and interpretation. Much appreciated and valued. Sending thanks from AUSTRALIA!! Great job!!
Is Australia still gonna get #AmberHeardIsALiar for Perjury Charges?
I truly enjoyed your intake during this trial. I hope they continue to allow cameras in the courtroom so we can do more of these.
This was a great victory for everyone who felt that she was lying under oath and that she laid heinous claims against an innocent man. It restores faith in the justice system, juries and ethical and moral lawyers. Thanks Bruce.
You missed the part where the judge limited the $5mil amount to $350K per Virginia law. So Johnny was only awarded $10,350,000 not $15mil.
So after the 7 Million she was awarded previously, Amber is still in debt for $ 3,000,350.00.
@@ctcarraway1 Per trial testimony she got about $14 million in the divorce settlement. $7 million in cash and the rest in real estate, cars and her taxes paid on those amounts. She now owes Johnny $8,350,000.00 and she still has to pay her lawyers which would be in excess of $2+ million. Doing a bit of research online, she has about $9 million in assets.
Mr. Rivers, thank you for sharing your knowledge on this case. I hope when the movie is made you’ll be in it!
I stumbled across one of your videos covering the johnny depp trial. So I subscribed and so did my husband and we watched so many of your videos. I love watching criminal lawyer reacts.
Thank you
Did you know that you appeared on the Asmongold TH-cam channel? Both issued statements afterwards, Johnny's was lovely and thanked everyone whereas AH was full of whines about her mountains of evidence and Freedom of Speech.
Here in the UK, our cases are not televised so this has been fascinating to watch.
I just commented this! He finally discovered bruce. I was so happy
Mountains of evidence she has claimed, yet I find none. The audio recordings are more in favour to JD imo. Not sure if she even know how bad she sounds in those recordings.
when you lie, you have to commit 100% to that lie, not surprised at her response, her tombstone will still have "Johnny beat me up everyday for 5 years!"
just a shame our press is fucking shit, atleast the daily mail does tell it how it is
Thank you for covering this case. America needed a happy ending, so grateful to the mindfulness of the jury.
I loved finding you threw this trial. You point of view is amazing.
I love your channel! No lawtube drama, objetive, focused, fun! You are the Best
By far the absolute best commentary on this trial and I always learn something.
I've never been so happy for Johnny Depp. The jury did the right thing 🏴☠️💙
@Tiopd Etuy thats random but ok
@Tiopd Etuy..?
Bruce Rivers, I just want to give a big thank you and please know that I wouldn't have appreciated the court case, had it not been for you. There's something more that you would really appreciate : I invite my young kids to sit and watch your channel with me because the ease and clarity, by which your message has been delivered, has made it a joy for them to learn. It has been such a pleasure and it's certainly so memorable. You're awesome !!!. Take care & cheers.
Finally he cleared his name, I knew that he was innocent and AH was a gold digger and trouble. JD had the best lawyers to represent him Camille and Ben. It's great to hear from an opinion of another lawyer I'm thankful I found you in YT. JD got his reputation back!😘
I really like this channel. There’s so much stuff that happens in trials that are confusing. If you don’t have a law degree, you’re left wondering why this or that happened. It’s nice to be able to have it explained.
I’m so happy. You gave me so much hope after I listened to you breaking down the questions the juror asked. I also just read Johnny’s statement. It was so beautifully stated - just pure grace and class ❤️❤️❤️
I started watching this trial because I’m a Johnny Depp fan and I wanted to see evidence that he really abused her. I couldn’t imagine. It’s not like the Johnny I’ve seen in interviews but you never know what goes on behind closed doors. I found out how abusive Amber was. How she manipulates and lies and exaggerates things. She is truly a troubled person. I also was let down by Johnnys language and that he would stoop to her level to engage in arguments with her. But I also see where many times he walked away to get away from the situation and she kept egging it on. It was truly a troubled and toxic marriage. There’s no way it was gonna last. I’m glad Johnny won because I think he proved what a liar she is and how far she will go to set him up. I think she is so up righteous that she didn’t mind committing perjury to get the jury to side with her. The best part was when Camille brought out how Amber said everybody’s a liar but her. Amber thinks she does no wrong and the jury picked up on her attitude. I think she should accept the verdict and let it go. It’s the only way they are gonna be able to move on with their lives. I wish the best for Johnny and I hope she gets some much needed therapy for her lying.
