"Everyone thought he (Depp) was guilty before the trial, she (Heard) became the issue after the trial."

"Yes, both members are under oath and there was an overwhelming amount of evidence supporting Depp's testimony."

"I don't know. I would like to believe both told the truth but I still can't be sure."

"No. They are celebrities so a lot of the information could've been covered up."

"Yes, because they are perceived to be more emotional, and showing those emotions comes off as being more dramatic."

"Women aren't treated differently than men, only objective points are being made in court."

"A lot of drama is used to emphasize points, especially in cross examination, which can put the other person in a bad light."
