I think that's one of the most frustrating things, she was able to raise her right hand, then proceed to lie like I've never seen before, and have no consequences for it.
Well, no legal consequences. She is paying a price in other ways. But she should be made to pay legally as well. Even if it is a civil case. Especially in a case of defamation. That lie nearly destroyed a man's life.
@@pandorafox3944 legal consequences are what I'm referring to. What's the point of swearing under oath to tell the truth, under the penalty of perjury, if you can get up there and blatantly lie? It's crazy. But I am so glad she lost this case and and really hope she has some sort of financial consequence and doesn't get off Scott free. One way or another, she has to be held accountable for her recklessness.
Yes it is disgusting. Even more disgusting is that AH had years to compile her hoax with significant legal advice. - remember that she allegedly developed much of her story and hoax when collaborating with ACLU- a powerful rich organization with significant legal resources. FYI: your contributions to ACLU ( American civil Liberties Union) “fund our litigation and public education efforts” (per their web site). THEREFORE, your contribution financially supported aclu to draft and legally review the defamatory statements in her op-Ed article, which were made WITH MALICE per a jury of the American justice system. IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT TO SUPPORT WITH YOUR MONEY.??
If there's no punishment for perjury what's the point in swearing to tell the truth!? 🤷♀️ it's a joke.. ppl might as well just walk into court and say anything..
@Velvet Boy that actually doesn’t answer her question. The question is ‘why bother to swear to tell the truth…’ under penalty of perjury, (in a civil trial) if there ARE no actual consequences? Which I agree with, that IF sworn in as such and you lie; should be consequential regardless if civil or criminal. It’s the same…..’swear.’
@@HiroForever -- There are consequences. The other side shows that you're lying, it impeaches your credibility with the jury and you lose. They might not be the consequences that you'd like, but that's definitely a consequence.
I totally agree with you Andrea. If people feel they can get away with lying with no consequences, they will take that pony and run every time. Perjury is a serious problem that needs serious consequences. Lying ruins peoples lives.
We have an ex-president who is spitting in the face of the DOJ and the American people with his blatant and provable lies. It's beginning to look obvious that he's been stealing, mishandling, and possibly selling our nation's Department of Defense secrets to our adversaries.
What makes it worse is that it was so public! The whole world watched her lie and it looks sooo bad that she could do that and have no ramifications!!!
The question is, how many times did the conniving snake perjure herself on the stand? If she's not held accountable for her multiple lies, then being sworn in is utterly useless.
Just a FYI, prosecutors aren't elected in Australia. So if there's a provable case of perjury against AH in Australia, they may lay charges in advance should she ever set foot here again. Whether they will go to the expense of extradite her, I very much doubt. But if she sets foot in the UK, Canada or any other commonwealth country she might soon find her freedom has been curtailed rather quickly.
I've been wondering about that and hoping she would be held accountable for smuggling her dogs, she needs to be finally put in her place, she's off in another country acting like she doesn't have to answer to anything.. Sheesh!
@@josieluna5737 she was held accountable. Meaninglessly, but that ship has sailed. As for the apparent lies she told Australian authorities, is there any new proof she lied? It’s pretty clear based on her past she did, but in a she said, she said, I don’t think perjury is justified.
Oh dear, you don’t seem to understand that on the whole continent of Australia there is no such thing as rabies. In your case the words: mother, pregnant and knitting needle spring to mind. I don’t know why.
@Malus Although I don't think charging AH and/or JD with perjury will ultimately go forward, the whole thing with the dogs is very valid. We have no rabies here, and there are other diseases we also don't have here, which is why the quarantine rules are so strict. And, just because she's a celebrity, it doesn't make her exempt. Smuggling is also a crime all on its own. Having said that, I agee that it's ridiculous to pursue this after such a long time, and that it won't really achieve anything of added value. 🤷♀️
@@qwerty112311 AFAIK the Australians are still investigating perjury charges against Amber, I'm pretty sure there was even a representative or cabinet member who demanded to know why they hadn't charged her yet about two months ago. If I'm not mistaken, the new information that re-opened her case after her conviction came via the UK trial, where it was revealed that her role in the smuggling was much more extensive than what she had pled guilty to. Her "confession and apology" was still a lie. What's more, she had gotten off with a slap on the wrist precisely because of her apparent candour and remorse, so there was all the more reason to go after her on perjury charges.
What greatly concerns me, as a citizen of the US, a military vet, & as a woman who has male family/loved ones, I fear that since her lies were so many, so obvious, & so ludicrous, & since this trial is so well known, & since it's currently popular for women to target wealthy men in hopes of a $$ settlement, that it will teach others how EASY it is to outright LIE in court. I wonder if those in the VA justice system have considered this like I & many others have?
I was rolling my eyes every time a witness had to raise their hand and 'swear to tell the truth'. If amber heard doesn't get punishment for perjury, why does it even exist
Right? I'm also pretty bothered by the apparent lack of consequences for "expert" witnesses who apparently will say anything for a paycheck. There really ought to be a mechanism for weeding out experts who abuse the court's trust in their credentials.
The oath has gone from, "Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God?" to, "Will you tell the truth under law?" It might as well be, "Are you gonna say whatever suits your needs?" These days in America, lying liars can flout oaths with impunity. The ends justify the means.
She clearly committed perjury when she said she only hit Johnny once in defense of her sister. She’s heard on audio saying “I was hitting you” and “I did start a physical fight” perjury?? Johnny describing her attacks in audio, she didn’t deny it, perjury??
And at the beginning of the trial- "no, I didn't write the op-ed about Johnny" Later during trial- "and that's why I had to write the op-ed about Johnny" Her middle name should be perjury, not Laura, smh
And what about the Carly Simon words on the mirror? JD said he didn’t do it. Said he did the blood and black paint. Said the red lipstick wasn’t there when he wrote in black paint. Said he never saw the lipstick. Problem is, the black paint crosses over on top of the red lipstick. So he clearly wasn’t telling the truth and he wrote the Carly Simon remark
@@krustycrb7182 ?? How? She wrote it in the first place, he 'erased' it. Even the handwritting is different..She was clearly not teling the truth about that. Just like she said she donated the money when in fact she didn't, or that he was trying to get into the bathroom when it's on audio that he was inside and she was trying to get in. Or that she denied to have written the oped about him but then said that's why she wrote it. Or that she denied she was arrested for DV when there is an actual police report etc And all those fantastic incidents she told when photos from the next hours or days clearly show that she was perfectly fine.
Personally, I'm OK with her not being charged with perjury ONLY because it sounds like there's too good a chance (mainly due to the journalist protection) of her being found not guilty. And if that happened it would mean she'd be all over our screens feeling smug and vindicated and saying "see, I didn't lie!" I think having a charge of perjury brought against AH would be more important, crucial even, if she had won the defamation case. The fact that she lost tells us that, despite her attempts at falsification, the jury did not believe her. And we may have to be satisfied with that.
I don't think we should be satisfied with Heard merely losing her case, because it sends the message that lying in court bears no extra penalty; if you have a losing case you might as well start fibbing. What's more I think they have Amber dead to rights on at least some of her lies: the "donated" settlement money and her photoshopped evidence spring to mind. They ought to have enough evidence of fraud perpetrated on the court to at least open a case and start demanding discovery. Even if they can't prove the TMZ lie, although I'd say there is enough circumstantial evidence, they can still nail Heard on a bunch of other lies she told.
That seems very unlikely. Even Heard probably won't face perjury charges for the abuse hoax writ large, I don't think. If they go after her at all it'll be on smaller, provable lies like the (non-)donation, the edited photos, etc.
Turd’s karma, rn, is having to live with being shamed and mocked by the American public. That being said it’s only a matter of time before she screws up and breaks the law, again & hopefully a second wave of karma will come a knocking. Great stuff Andrea! You look amazing 🧡
Not just the American public 😆 we are following AH’s cringe worthy behaviour in the U.K. and Europe too. I know that these sad, mentally unhinged and quite frankly “ A danger to others “ ( a sectional term under the U.K. mental health act) persons exist in everyday life, however it’s been fascinating to watch AH demonstrate these very disturbing behaviours on live TV for all The World to see , it’s extraordinary ! Depp tried to point the above out to her by advising her to go for a quiet, private divorce. She obviously lost the run of herself when she managed to make Depp marry her and became his significant other , believing that she had talent, however it is obvious that Depp got her the Aquaman role, which due to her cardboard acting she would not have been considered for without his influence.Just watching her hamming it up in the trial proves this fact. She has only ever played “sexy blond woman” before this,a role she is good at in real life and uses to snare influential men. She is now not a significant other and has no significance, except as a woman who tried to ruin Depp’s life. I sincerely hope she comes to her senses, considers Dr Curry’s diagnosis of her mental health difficulties, probably caused by damage done to her growing up and seeks appropriate treatment, for the sake of her young child.
Thank you Andrea for your input regarding the restoration of faith in the criminal justice system. I think that is especially important in the current crisis we are seeing now. The general feeling among the people is that there are “us” (the average person) and “them” (the wealthy or politically connected) and that there are two different sets of rules between these groups. The people need to see Justice. We need to see the rules being applied equally. If the laws are not being applied equally that is leading to more unrest! People are sick and tired of the different sets of rules.
You look fabulous today and your information is clear, substantiated and informative. It is such a shame that cases like this and liars like AH make a mockery of swearing a solemn oath. Law's are not good unless they are enforced, sets a very bad precedence for those who come after. There should be an enforceable deterrent, if not, chaos and anarchy reigns. This very public trial could do so much to restore confidence in your judiciary. I am from the U.K. and like many over here, we are embarrassed by the debarcle and travesty that was the U.K. trial against the Sun. We need to restore faith.
Looking gorgeous Andrea. Thanks for enlightening us on all those questions we were wondering about. The average person on the street would be too scared to lie on the stand - AH seems to be able to get away with it. Hopefully here in my country Australia - she may have to be accountable for the lies she said re the dogs. Good work Andrea.
I really hope Australia decides to pursue this. Her lies about the dogs violated Australia’s biosecurity laws, which has the potential to be catastrophic for the island nation! I think it’s important to demonstrate that the rules about importing certain flora and fauna without proper declarations/protocols is deadly serious business.
12:10 AH's testimony about leaking the video was: she wasn't involved, she wouldn't know how to do that, *AND* a bit Andrea forgot to mention: if she (AH) had leaked it, she would have leaked it better...
there are so many times she just flat out lied it is shocking at this point she is still free to continue her hate campaign against Johnny I find it surprising nobody has decided to investigate her properly yet as it seems more past victims step forward with every passing month but the press don't pick it up great video will say you look stunning today! best wishes stay blessed
One reason nobody's investigating her is that they just want her and her little group to just fizzle out. Sooner or later they will if we just quit paying attention to them.
@@patriciarockwell2227 that has not worked her attacks are what has been reported and her jumping on everything is keeping her mentioned she is not being sought out , she attacked another of Johnny's Ex's again just days ago! this creature really is a monster and if left to disappear will continue to wreck lives if what has come out recently is true she is also a groomer of vulnerable young women and a blackmailer add that to killer liar domestic abuser "let it fizzle out" doesn't seem quite fair for the swathe of destruction in the wake of her life and to date not one consequence before her loss at trial if this monster were male he would have been in jail years ago best wishes and have a good day
It's so frustrating to see the turd getting away with perjury. Her deposition 6 yrs ago showed the real Turd she is. She had a fake cry here and there but she didn't have anything close to what she did on the stand. She so evil, the way she looks at people, very very calculating
Once again, Andrea's masterclass is compelling, and truly explains why there likely won't be any perjury charges for AH. Thank you Andrea for explaining "reporter's priviledge" and the "circumstancial evidence" with TMZ. Love your smile and your little jabs at Ah ....so articulate with legal words, then a quick one two punch.."she'a a big fat liar"...Andrea, you are the best!
If you are going to lie on the stand and sit in the witness box and you’ve been sworn in, and you get caught out lying, you have to be held accountable for it… If you are not held accountable for lying then it’s a given that it’s ok to do it and that you are able to just keep lying.. Here in Queensland Australia 🇦🇺, if you lie on the stand and you get caught, you can spend up to 3 years in prison.. The Judges here don’t play… You will go to prison..
One of my biggest things for perjury for her, was submitting the EXACT same photo and saying it was from different incidents. Multiple times! Guarantee the prosecutor would be reelected if they brought perjury charges against the Turd.
This deep dive has been so informative. I can see that prosecuting for perjury is a gray area decision. The MO she uses is the type that catches up with people eventually. Thanks, Andrea.
Ordinary ppl have clearly seen AH committed perjury in this case, and if she’s NOT punished for it, it is clearly one of the reasons why ordinary ppl lose confidence in the legal system!
Here's a related question. During Amber's direct testimony, she said about the incident before her TV appearance 'Johnny Depp broke my nose'. On cross, she changed her statement to 'I thought Johnny Depp broke my nose'. Since she said both, on the stand and under oath, and both can't be correct, is the first statement a lie under oath? Can you contradict yourself while testifying and more or less swear to multiple versions of the same event or fact? Or does a later statement supersede an earlier statement?
I think that's one of the things that frustrates me bc I'm pretty sure that's the ambiguity Andrea was talking about. Is the difference between "this happened" and "I thought this happened" legally actionable? So frustrating!
It's not necessarily a discrepancy she thought he broke her nose and then she shortly found out after that he did break her nose. That might be a defense she might use against perjury in this case.
@@virtue_signal_ No it is a discrepancy. 'He broke my nose' is a statement of fact...that he performed an action that broke her nose. 'I thought he broke my nose' is also a statement of fact. It means 'He performed an action that I thought broke my nose, but later found out I was mistaken'. She never went to a doctor. She said that she self-treated it with ice and that it healed on it's own. How did she know then that it wasn't broken? Anyway, between direct and cross, her knowledge of it being broken or not didn't change. However, on direct, she KNEW he broke it. On cross, she KNEW it was not broken. Both can't be true.
2:11 - not just court time, but police time and non-explicit threats made by lawyers on her side as to the consequence of not telling the truth or following procedures.
Thank you, Andrea, for another fantastic video. She has essentially shown how a person can take a stance based on their perception and emotional truth rather than the truth, with the accountability on the other side to have the facts and work with and from them. I’m glad in this instance, Jd’s team took that approach and had the witnesses, the footage and cameras to the world to back themselves and let people make up their own minds, cutting through the manipulation and agendas posed by her team and MSM.
For most of our history as an English speaking civilization, we swore an oath to God to tell the truth and not to bear false witness against our neighbors. People understood they could do that, but people also understood that they ultimately wouldn't get away with it. The further we get away from that cornerstone prospect, the harder it gets to define "truth" itself. Objective facts are harder to pin down than anyone ever realized they would be and whether or not those facts have value is pretty much the only part of the concept that still survives as "common sense". We throw it all away at our own peril. And as many others have noted - you look beautiful! I think you do anyway, but :)
Great series, Andrea!! I think that the fact that this trial was SO public should also be a factor in deciding whether or not to charge Amber with perjury. Millions of people know that she lied on the stand. If she doesn’t face the consequences of that, millions of people will be keenly aware of the lack of justice and integrity in our judicial system.
Thank you so much for doing this series. I think a lot of the reason that people feel so unfinished about this trial, and this case, is because of issues just such as this. It's not that we're obsessed with celebrity and the whole Hollywood scene. For me, I'm fascinated with the fact that there's a person like Amber Heard, who has demonstrated such audacity, blatant deceit, and over-the-top hubris. I'm a retired mental health professional, so her case holds deep fascination for me as it's rare to get to see someone with her combination of personality disorders in action. I would also like to add that when we have an ex-president who is effectively getting away with blatantly lying under multiple circumstances, even under oath, that it's hard to hold the rest of us accountable for things like perjury. And BTW Andrea...your hair looks so pretty! I love it! 💘
I've never understood the purpose of taking an oath when there's never any consequences for perjury. Far to many people get away with things based on lies leaving a path of destruction in their wake!! AH angers me so much at what she did to JD all for $$ & revenge 😤
If AH would have won, she would have expected JD to pay her the judgement at once BUT, thank God, she LOST. Has JD seen ANY money from her? (And don't say she's broke b/c she's NOT) She hasn't paid him a dime. Call Elon, AH!
Really interesting. I think why the public are still so involved & passionate about this case is that it doesn't feel closed or that justice has been done fully because everyone who watched the whole trial saw her blatantly lie time after time & although she lost ,it doesn't feel right because of her behaviour in & post trial that she has been held truly accountable. She has no remorse,& has completely ruined a man for many years. Everyone has seen she committed perjury & it feels like she has been allowed to do it.
"how can someone get away with impunity just making things up, changing their stories, giving obvious accounts which are fiction on multiple continents ?" , well that is a question which I have screamed at the top of my lungs in a fanatical voice many, many times watching this trial. I hope I will have an answer today...
Thank you so much, Andrea, for this in-depth look at perjury charges (or lack thereof). It is really disheartening that people like Amber Heard are able to not only get away with things of this nature, but practically spit in the eye of anyone who wishes to hold her accountable. I shudder to think how many other unscrupulous people have studied this case carefully and will attempt to get away with the same thing. Our judicial system truly is quite a disappointment in this regard. Maybe there is still hope that the prosecutors in Fairfax County, Virginia, will file charges against Amber Heard and, therefore, discourage others in following suit. I’m holding out hope that they are simply awaiting the outcome of the appeal.
Thank you so much for your input with this case. You shined a light on what would have amounted to a colossal injustice if her lies had been believed here like they were when she was a mere witness in the UK trial. I love your videos - thanks for the content!
Yikes!! You just keep getting better and better... I don't get to watch as frequently as I'd like, but you look amazing today, and of course, the content is your usual insightful, novel analysis! Nicely done....
@@josieluna5737 true. And she is very trustworthy. When she was taking donations for the all the stuff that was being unsealed. She gave the rest of the money to charity and showed us she did . awesome.
I loved this series, I loved the series on Isaac Baruch too! So, I will be here with bells on anytime you have something you believe is important to learn from! Every where I go on UA-cam there are people in the comments saying they cannot believe that Amber has not been charged with perjury! And you're right, there is so much mistrust of our justice system. From my perspective telling the truth in our daily lives was very important but I remember in probably 5th grade (I'm pushing 60 so we were slower to tackle things in school than kids today) we had watched enough TV, for me it was Dragnet, Perry Mason, etc. That's where I remember hearing about perjury, what it is and why it's important to be truthful all the time, not just in court. All we can do is wait and see what happens. Whatever does happen I like so many will be here on your channel waiting to be enlightened from you! Thanks for being here for us!
Here’s my question, if TMZ is going to be claiming or striking videos on UA-cam for using material that they own the Copyright to and obviously didn’t produce themselves, it seems like they would be obligated to provide proof of ownership? I don’t see how this isn’t a matter of Public Record? Owning a Copyright & how you obtained that ownership, shouldn’t be privileged or “private” information, think of the mess that would cause if anyone could claim ownership of any IP without having to provide documentation? I would think that anyone who was struck on UA-cam by TMZ for using a video filmed by Amber Heard, would be within their rights to request verification of Copyright Ownership and documentation that their Ownership was legally obtained. The Virginia Court, at the very least, should be able to request proof of Ownership of that Copyright, since it was entered into evidence in their court and it became a matter of dispute by AH saying “she didn’t sell the Copyright to TMZ”, they should be able to ask TMZ to provide proof of how and who they obtained that Copyright from & if they paid for it and how much they paid? That could prove if AH did commit perjury, or if she transferred the Copyright to someone else first, who then sold it to TMZ. My point is, we shouldn’t have to solely rely on Morgan Tremaines’ testimony alone. TMZ isn’t treating the video in question as “information from a source”, they are actively treating it as “published media being essentially licensed to UA-cam and used for monetary gain” and striking anyone else using their media with a Copyright claim, that should really clear the “Press source protection” hurdle, in my opinion? I might even support their “source protection” stance, if they were treating it as something that fell under “Fair Use”, but by actively protecting their Copyright and licensing it to NBC, and anyone who wants to use it, with a monetary gain for TMZ, it becomes “content”, that gives them the burden of “proof of ownership” IMHO.
Yay! I've been waiting for this one Andrea. Can't wait for more. You are an excellent speaker, you choose interesting topics, and you explain them thoroughly and clearly. Always happy to watch you.
I have to stop for a second and make a comment before the comments really start to come in. After and during watching Andrea's fine videos, I feel like I'm in a fine art gallery or museum. Andrea is like the tour guide. Offering, experience and thoughtful insights to the paintings and sculptures. "And in this painting we see the portrait of a man with power. He uses his power, balancing the various needs in a society..." "And over here in this section we can see the brush strokes change. Was the artist working with additional passion? Or did the painter hurry up because lunchtime is coming in less than an hour. We don't know." Making respectful funshine 🌄
I have waned in watching AH v JD stuff, but when I see something from you, I am quite tempted to watch. I must say that you never disappoint. Wonderful job, as always!
It's insane if Morgan Tremaine is the best (& apparently only) instance of perjury charges that can be considered being brought against AH. The last minute of this video spells out what has and is happening to the justice system, if there is even 20% of America that believes in it any more, that is being generous.
Great deep dive. I thought this series might be boring, considering I’d watched every second of the trial, but you managed to make it super interesting. Thanks!
One of her lies I think about a lot that often gets overlooked is that in her 2016 deposition, she said very confidently that she could not remember whether she hit Johnny during the stair incident, but in the Virginia trial, she somehow “remembered” very clearly that she definitely “landed a blow” and somehow remembered all this new detail… Watching those two clips side by side is wild. If perjury isn’t pursued it’ll send the message that the court system is a free for all and you can just make up whatever you want with no consequences. Ps- I love that you called out Amber’s hoax (à la Adam Waldman). Very badass! 🙂 Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for explaining this in detail. I’ve served on juries and not gotten, from first hand experience, the in depth understanding of the process I’ve gotten from this series.
I know this video was about Perjury, I would like to know maybe I don't understand it if she wins on freedom of speech does that mean anybody could defame someone and get away with freedom of speech? Thank you for this video.
She seems untouchable. There’s so much evidence on her about perjury, abusing, lying etc……but she gets off with it so her behaviour still continues. I’m beginning to think her influence is higher up than we ever thought. Has she got so much black mail on everyone?
Andrea, just when you think Heard’s Lies could not be more offensive than we’ve witnessed. Part 7 of her Deposition and the behavior of her Attorney is “by far” the worst we’ve seen of Heard.
It's very strange to me that the decision to pursue perjury is essentially up to an individual political actor. It seems to me that lying to the court should trigger some automatic perjury procedure and not just when the prosecutor feels like it.
Hi Andrea, I hope that perjury can be highlighted after 5his case, being high profile etc. Or people just going to keep lying and getting away with it. Love your deep dives, thank you, till next time 😘
The constant lying, under oath, by our elected officials and others like AH is really getting to me. I always assumed that the reason perjury charges are rarely pursued is because of the public expense - the taxpayer's money. To me, this was a reasonable response. I think we all have better things to do with our money than pursue the obvious liar, like AH. I'm a big believer in the court of public opinion. We've all seen where someone was acquitted of murder and the grief of the friends and relatives who know better but we've also seen the repercussions of "not guilty" on the accused - think Casey Anthony. Whatever the court may have decided, public opinion is rendering a judgment and I do believe that makes a difference. Does anybody doubt that Amber Heard is feeling the effects of the public's opinion of her and her actions? It may not seem like much, sitting here at our keyboards pounding away, but worldwide condemnation surrounds Amber Heard wherever she goes. And I find that very satisfying.
Thank you Andrea, I'm. In Australia and obviously we have a similar but different legal system but you do really dissect and explain every facet of the legalities around each and every topic related to this case, also you have an incredible way of engaging your audience.
Oh hey Wednesday Adams! Draco really brought the goods! Have you listened his interview with court tv side bar podcast? Really good insight into a bit of a background of how he ended up testifying! I always look forward to your videos! Xx
They're never going to charge her with perjury...if they were, it would have happened already. Plus, now that she's out of the country, they aren't going to go after her. US won't do a damn thing....neither will Austrailia. And she'll probably come up with some scheme to get out of paying JD what she owes him....or what she owes anyone else. If the legal world actually worked and functioned like it's SUPPOSED to do, she would already be in JAIL....WHERE SHE BELONGS!!!!!
First off, awesome look. Second, it seems like the minor details aren't as important as the overall effect. The old precedent you showed even stated that whether it was a stick or a sword didn't matter, only the fact that someone was beaten with it. Very interesting clarification compared to what little I knew from my TV law degree.
I’m so glad you covered the perjury issue. Indeed, I’ve seen many comments and questions regarding why Amber Heard isn’t being charged with perjury, or facing any criminal charges whatsoever. After everything she’s done that is illegal -not the least of which being the physical abuse of her spouse -a layman might wonder why she seems to be above the law. It helps to know how difficult it actually is to prove perjury. Nevertheless, Amber’s apparent immunity does not shine a very positive light on the justice system. Thank you again for your brilliant insight!
Love your breakdown of your legal system, it really infuriates me how much the media is protected & gives them carte blanch to write whatever they like. I’d love to see her charged but I doubt we will see her back in court unless she assaults someone else & they press charges! Look forward to the next deep dive series.
Ok, im not a lawyer and am probably in way over my head with this. But would there be a way to turn the whole AH, TMZ thing into something against TMZ to prove they had the legal copyright to that video? So the guy from TMZ who testified (sorry I forget his name) said the *only way* that TMZ could have legally published that video on the timeline they did is if they got permission from AH.... AH says she didnt give permission... could they then go after TMZ and say "hey, this video might have been pirated, you need to show us that it is legally yours"? Again this might be complete gibberish... just a thought 😁
I was thinking, since TMZ copyright struck UA-cam videos over the clip Amber swore she had not given them, which when presented at trial was obviously made by her. Could the UA-camr demand TMZ prove they actually held the copyright. Then a person not working forTMZ person would have first hand knowledge of who sold or gave TMZ the copyright and be able to testify in court proving without a shadow of a doubt she had committed perjury.
@@katiehettinger7857 I like the angle of the youtubers who were copyright struck on the video having standing to pursue something against UA-cam which would result in the production of the source of the copyright claim, but it seems like a torturous route, and one that possibly wouldn't bear fruit on thr perjury against Heard issue, as they may be able to convince a judge to seal the evidence on the basis of protecting journalistic sources or aomesuch.
👏👏👏👏 I love how you packaged all this, especially showing the different state laws. But i have one question, if they did try to get TMZ to cough up that paperwork, who's laws would it sit under? Would it be under Virginia as she had purgered herself there or California as it was done in that state?
The work of Brian at Incredibly Average proves many lies, including hoax, he 100% proved IO's lies & so much more. His work is professionally researched & organized, it seems that it should've been used at trial.
I think that even a long shot for finding AH liable for perjury, it worths all the effort as maybe it helps avoiding or lessening the misinformation and lies that are being spread after the trial.
As the days go on & she hasn't admitted or apologised for her abusing behaviour I just hope she gets charged in Australia, Depp wins his appeal and the case in the UK gets over turned. One can wish. That poor man its just endless ....how he is sane & able to move on is remarkable. Hats off to him
Question: I wish TMZ would just decide to disclose the contract with AH but we know that won't happen. But if that contract were leaked, could the attorney in VA use that as evidence if they could prove its veracity?
Federal law requires copyright transfers be in writing except work for hires. Maybe one of the lawtubers that was copyright struck by tmz for the video could bring a declaratory judgement for non-infringement. Either tmz loses the case, or has to show the transfer document in discovery?
Andrea hope you will detail all criminal charges that are probable of public record such as the assaults with intent ...battery disregard main... For the criminal conspired public fraud must be addressed.
Thank you, well said. It is something that has stuck with me, we have always learned there are grave consequences to perjury and then we saw it happen and no consequences. Are there other cases where people have been charged and prosecuted? My fear is that everyone learned that it is just fine to lie, the threat of perjury charges is a 'hoax'!
I have long suspected that IO Tillet Wright was involved with editing the video and supplying to TMZ. In IO deposition played in Virginia trial, IO confirmed he received the video in a text exchange from Amber on February 10 2016. Watching your video, I wondered what if Amber transferred the copyright to a third party (such as IO) and then the third-party transferred to TMZ? Amber seems capable of muddying the situation and shifting blame to others.
I really wish jurors would come forward and talk about their thoughts. I suspect that at least some want to, but are being advised not to until the appeal.
I believe Elaine asked for the jury's identity be kept underseal for one year after the verdict. Something like that is my understanding. I figured it may precludes them from coming forward publicly for a year.
This is great, (as usual :) ) im mexican and growing up i remember learning that the basis of USA’s court sistem was the truth. That the worst thing you could do in the USA was to lie. The truth was the most valued belief. When i saw the trial i was really thinking and feeling that if by any chance she’d won, a very important cornerstone of the USA was going to be lost. I really see this lying in court and as you say taking the time of so many people with reckless disregard for the truth, is something very very serious. And that she is continuing doing things because shes mad, only shows that she doesnt care. I found that very disrispectful and dangerous! Thankyouuu , i love your videos.
"She can get away with things and other people can't" That sounds like the exact same mentality of a certain ex-president who's been caught in multiple lies and should be in prison for multiple crimes, but probably won't be convicted. The justice system in the USA is already a joke and if he and people like Amber face no repercussions for their crimes then what good is the justice system?
I'm so glad that in my country, Sweden, there is basically no prosecutorial discretion (except for very limited charges of a more private nature). Nor are they elected but as with the rest of the country are under independent agencies where our elected people are forbidden to interfere in a case by case nature. The prosecutor has an absolute duty to prosecute all crimes where there are enough evidence that a crime has been committed and it is possible to prove who has done it. (They are also less adversarial than in the states while the lawyers basically only have their duty to their clients.)
American lawyers don't only have duties to their clients but also to their state and bar association. And you're joking if you think Swedish laws are remotely equally enforced, how many prosecutions have there been for hets mot folkgrupp where the folkgrupp were Swedes being degraded and threatened? Last I checked it was literally none which is pretty shocking because there certainly are plenty of cases of people using slurs etc against people based on their Swedish ethnicity. Further, our jury system in Sweden is nuts. There's no jury by the people, just elected party members- not elected by the public like in the US. Which is much bigger problem than elected prosecutors.
@@baxterandcotton For the crime you are referring you have to be a minority or of the protected classes in the law. On the world justice project Sweden is on place four globally on 8.4 | Criminal System is impartial.
Thank you for sharing your insights with us, Andrea. I have always had a hard time believing a high profile person like Amber would be held accountable for lying in court. Maybe the Aussies will come through. I hope you won't be offended if I mention that you look especially fetching today.
I think I might know of a way to get around TMZ's reporter's privilege. And that is for all of the Lawtubers who received a copyright take down, to sue TMZ, challenging their lawful ownership of the copyright to the video. They would then be forced to prove that they own it, which would require that the paperwork be produced.
Thank you for explaining the burning question of how AH can get away with perjury, especially as it happened in UK and Australia as well. I hope Johnny wins re. the hoax on appeal.
Thank you Andrea for your analysis. If I may too and on an aside - your hair and makeup look great I’m this video. Just paying a respectful compliment.
I think that's one of the most frustrating things, she was able to raise her right hand, then proceed to lie like I've never seen before, and have no consequences for it.
Well, no legal consequences. She is paying a price in other ways. But she should be made to pay legally as well. Even if it is a civil case. Especially in a case of defamation. That lie nearly destroyed a man's life.
Agreed
@@pandorafox3944 well said 👏
Turd lied 2 ways til Sunday, thinking it's ok,
Her punishment was becoming the world's greatest meme
@@pandorafox3944 legal consequences are what I'm referring to. What's the point of swearing under oath to tell the truth, under the penalty of perjury, if you can get up there and blatantly lie? It's crazy. But I am so glad she lost this case and and really hope she has some sort of financial consequence and doesn't get off Scott free. One way or another, she has to be held accountable for her recklessness.
Unless they start to charge people for perjury, more lies will be told, and more innocent people will have their lives ruined
There is absolutely no need to administer an Oath to tell the truth unless the court is going to enforce it.
Exactly
FACTS!
I know !!! Like why even ask and make it a serious issue if it doesn’t matter.
Yes it is disgusting. Even more disgusting is that AH had years to compile her hoax with significant legal advice. - remember that she allegedly developed much of her story and hoax when collaborating with ACLU- a powerful rich organization with significant legal resources. FYI: your contributions to ACLU ( American civil Liberties Union) “fund our litigation and public education efforts” (per their web site). THEREFORE, your contribution financially supported aclu to draft and legally review the defamatory statements in her op-Ed article, which were made WITH MALICE per a jury of the American justice system. IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT TO SUPPORT WITH YOUR MONEY.??
'Do you promise to lie through yr teeth so long as you don;t get caught?' "So help me, I do." 'Please take the stand.'
If there's no punishment for perjury what's the point in swearing to tell the truth!? 🤷♀️ it's a joke.. ppl might as well just walk into court and say anything..
@Velvet Boy , and is it ok?
Exactly @nita If a person is asked to hold their hand up and swear, then it stands to reason that if they then lie, it should have consequences ...
@Velvet Boy a lot more punishment? there has been zero punishment! that's the point!
@Velvet Boy that actually doesn’t answer her question.
The question is ‘why bother to swear to tell the truth…’ under penalty of perjury, (in a civil trial) if there ARE no actual consequences?
Which I agree with, that IF sworn in as such and you lie; should be consequential regardless if civil or criminal. It’s the same…..’swear.’
@@HiroForever -- There are consequences. The other side shows that you're lying, it impeaches your credibility with the jury and you lose. They might not be the consequences that you'd like, but that's definitely a consequence.
I totally agree with you Andrea. If people feel they can get away with lying with no consequences, they will take that pony and run every time. Perjury is a serious problem that needs serious consequences. Lying ruins peoples lives.
Lying under oath is madness.
We have an ex-president who is spitting in the face of the DOJ and the American people with his blatant and provable lies. It's beginning to look obvious that he's been stealing, mishandling, and possibly selling our nation's Department of Defense secrets to our adversaries.
I really don't understand how this can be possible. SMH
she should be in jail!
ehy is she not???
What makes it worse is that it was so public! The whole world watched her lie and it looks sooo bad that she could do that and have no ramifications!!!
She did have ramifications, though. The jury saw her lies and made a substantial judgement against her.
She lied so much she gave herself away!
The question is, how many times did the conniving snake perjure herself on the stand? If she's not held accountable for her multiple lies, then being sworn in is utterly useless.
she lied every time she opened her mouth.
Every statement contradicted a previous statement
Just a FYI, prosecutors aren't elected in Australia. So if there's a provable case of perjury against AH in Australia, they may lay charges in advance should she ever set foot here again. Whether they will go to the expense of extradite her, I very much doubt. But if she sets foot in the UK, Canada or any other commonwealth country she might soon find her freedom has been curtailed rather quickly.
I've been wondering about that and hoping she would be held accountable for smuggling her dogs, she needs to be finally put in her place, she's off in another country acting like she doesn't have to answer to anything.. Sheesh!
@@josieluna5737 she was held accountable. Meaninglessly, but that ship has sailed. As for the apparent lies she told Australian authorities, is there any new proof she lied? It’s pretty clear based on her past she did, but in a she said, she said, I don’t think perjury is justified.
Oh dear, you don’t seem to understand that on the whole continent of Australia there is no such thing as rabies.
In your case the words: mother, pregnant and knitting needle spring to mind. I don’t know why.
@Malus Although I don't think charging AH and/or JD with perjury will ultimately go forward, the whole thing with the dogs is very valid. We have no rabies here, and there are other diseases we also don't have here, which is why the quarantine rules are so strict. And, just because she's a celebrity, it doesn't make her exempt. Smuggling is also a crime all on its own. Having said that, I agee that it's ridiculous to pursue this after such a long time, and that it won't really achieve anything of added value. 🤷♀️
@@qwerty112311 AFAIK the Australians are still investigating perjury charges against Amber, I'm pretty sure there was even a representative or cabinet member who demanded to know why they hadn't charged her yet about two months ago.
If I'm not mistaken, the new information that re-opened her case after her conviction came via the UK trial, where it was revealed that her role in the smuggling was much more extensive than what she had pled guilty to. Her "confession and apology" was still a lie. What's more, she had gotten off with a slap on the wrist precisely because of her apparent candour and remorse, so there was all the more reason to go after her on perjury charges.
What greatly concerns me, as a citizen of the US, a military vet, & as a woman who has male family/loved ones, I fear that since her lies were so many, so obvious, & so ludicrous, & since this trial is so well known, & since it's currently popular for women to target wealthy men in hopes of a $$ settlement, that it will teach others how EASY it is to outright LIE in court. I wonder if those in the VA justice system have considered this like I & many others have?
I am LOVING today's look! The video is good as well.
Agreed: but the lipstick is too orange. She would look great with a more sultry shade: mulberry, cinnamon colours.

I was rolling my eyes every time a witness had to raise their hand and 'swear to tell the truth'. If amber heard doesn't get punishment for perjury, why does it even exist
Right? I'm also pretty bothered by the apparent lack of consequences for "expert" witnesses who apparently will say anything for a paycheck.
There really ought to be a mechanism for weeding out experts who abuse the court's trust in their credentials.
The oath has gone from, "Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God?" to, "Will you tell the truth under law?"
It might as well be, "Are you gonna say whatever suits your needs?"
These days in America, lying liars can flout oaths with impunity. The ends justify the means.
😆 🤣 😂 "whatever suits my needs" is right! Also, "however I feel like spinning it after I just contradicted myself in the same day"
@@vanessagamboa852 how many times did they impeach that sociopath? How is that not proof of perjury?
@@tamimarler exactly!
I don't think it's just the U.S., I think it's all of Western Civilization (at least).
I think that I would personally add ‘so help me God’ to my affirmation if ever sworn to testify. Then it’s part of the record.
She clearly committed perjury when she said she only hit Johnny once in defense of her sister.
She’s heard on audio saying “I was hitting you” and “I did start a physical fight” perjury??
Johnny describing her attacks in audio, she didn’t deny it, perjury??
And at the beginning of the trial-
"no, I didn't write the op-ed about Johnny"
Later during trial- "and that's why I had to write the op-ed about Johnny"
Her middle name should be perjury, not Laura, smh
And what about the Carly Simon words on the mirror? JD said he didn’t do it. Said he did the blood and black paint. Said the red lipstick wasn’t there when he wrote in black paint. Said he never saw the lipstick. Problem is, the black paint crosses over on top of the red lipstick. So he clearly wasn’t telling the truth and he wrote the Carly Simon remark
@@krustycrb7182 ?? How? She wrote it in the first place, he 'erased' it. Even the handwritting is different..She was clearly not teling the truth about that. Just like she said she donated the money when in fact she didn't, or that he was trying to get into the bathroom when it's on audio that he was inside and she was trying to get in. Or that she denied to have written the oped about him but then said that's why she wrote it. Or that she denied she was arrested for DV when there is an actual police report etc And all those fantastic incidents she told when photos from the next hours or days clearly show that she was perfectly fine.

I agree distrust and disrespect for the judicial system is becoming very common and very broken. Very interesting!
Personally, I'm OK with her not being charged with perjury ONLY because it sounds like there's too good a chance (mainly due to the journalist protection) of her being found not guilty. And if that happened it would mean she'd be all over our screens feeling smug and vindicated and saying "see, I didn't lie!"
I think having a charge of perjury brought against AH would be more important, crucial even, if she had won the defamation case. The fact that she lost tells us that, despite her attempts at falsification, the jury did not believe her.
And we may have to be satisfied with that.
Good point
I don't think we should be satisfied with Heard merely losing her case, because it sends the message that lying in court bears no extra penalty; if you have a losing case you might as well start fibbing.
What's more I think they have Amber dead to rights on at least some of her lies: the "donated" settlement money and her photoshopped evidence spring to mind.
They ought to have enough evidence of fraud perpetrated on the court to at least open a case and start demanding discovery. Even if they can't prove the TMZ lie, although I'd say there is enough circumstantial evidence, they can still nail Heard on a bunch of other lies she told.
Unless Morgan steps in again to give more detailed account of her actions.
Actually. That makes a lot of sense
I agree.
Will any of AHs lying friends be charged - Whitney Heard, Josh Drew, Rochelle Pennington and IO Tillis Wright.
You left out good ole' Eve Fartlow!
Probably not
Nope
That seems very unlikely. Even Heard probably won't face perjury charges for the abuse hoax writ large, I don't think. If they go after her at all it'll be on smaller, provable lies like the (non-)donation, the edited photos, etc.
As a woman who perjured herself on 3 contenants and not be charged is gross neglect on the part of prosecutores.
Turd’s karma, rn, is having to live with being shamed and mocked by the American public. That being said it’s only a matter of time before she screws up and breaks the law, again & hopefully a second wave of karma will come a knocking. Great stuff Andrea! You look amazing 🧡
Not just the American public 😆 we are following AH’s cringe worthy behaviour in the U.K. and Europe too.
I know that these sad, mentally unhinged and quite frankly “ A danger to others “ ( a sectional term under the U.K. mental health act) persons exist in everyday life, however it’s been fascinating to watch AH demonstrate these very disturbing behaviours on live TV for all The World to see , it’s extraordinary !
Depp tried to point the above out to her by advising her to go for a quiet, private divorce.
She obviously lost the run of herself when she managed to make Depp marry her and became his significant other , believing that she had talent, however it is obvious that Depp got her the Aquaman role, which due to her cardboard acting she would not have been considered for without his influence.Just watching her hamming it up in the trial proves this fact. She has only ever played “sexy blond woman” before this,a role she is good at in real life and uses to snare influential men.
She is now not a significant other and has no significance, except as a woman who tried to ruin Depp’s life.
I sincerely hope she comes to her senses, considers Dr Curry’s diagnosis of her mental health difficulties, probably caused by damage done to her growing up and seeks appropriate treatment, for the sake of her young child.

Thank you Andrea for your input regarding the restoration of faith in the criminal justice system. I think that is especially important in the current crisis we are seeing now. The general feeling among the people is that there are “us” (the average person) and “them” (the wealthy or politically connected) and that there are two different sets of rules between these groups. The people need to see Justice. We need to see the rules being applied equally. If the laws are not being applied equally that is leading to more unrest! People are sick and tired of the different sets of rules.
You look fabulous today and your information is clear, substantiated and informative. It is such a shame that cases like this and liars like AH make a mockery of swearing a solemn oath. Law's are not good unless they are enforced, sets a very bad precedence for those who come after. There should be an enforceable deterrent, if not, chaos and anarchy reigns. This very public trial could do so much to restore confidence in your judiciary. I am from the U.K. and like many over here, we are embarrassed by the debarcle and travesty that was the U.K. trial against the Sun.
We need to restore faith.
Looking gorgeous Andrea. Thanks for enlightening us on all those questions we were wondering about. The average person on the street would be too scared to lie on the stand - AH seems to be able to get away with it. Hopefully here in my country Australia - she may have to be accountable for the lies she said re the dogs. Good work Andrea.
I really hope Australia decides to pursue this. Her lies about the dogs violated Australia’s biosecurity laws, which has the potential to be catastrophic for the island nation! I think it’s important to demonstrate that the rules about importing certain flora and fauna without proper declarations/protocols is deadly serious business.
@@MindiB Good on Australia for going (?) after her but I have one thing to say about that. Why is it taking them so damn long?
Looks like she's gonna get out of that one too! May I ask WHY?
AH is getting away with everything, just like TFG and others. 🤮
12:10 AH's testimony about leaking the video was: she wasn't involved, she wouldn't know how to do that, *AND* a bit Andrea forgot to mention: if she (AH) had leaked it, she would have leaked it better...
there are so many times she just flat out lied it is shocking at this point she is still free to continue her hate campaign against Johnny
I find it surprising nobody has decided to investigate her properly yet as it seems more past victims step forward with every passing month but the press don't pick it up
great video
will say you look stunning today!

One reason nobody's investigating her is that they just want her and her little group to just fizzle out. Sooner or later they will if we just quit paying attention to them.
@@patriciarockwell2227 that has not worked
her attacks are what has been reported and her jumping on everything is keeping her mentioned
she is not being sought out , she attacked another of Johnny's Ex's again just days ago!
this creature really is a monster and if left to disappear will continue to wreck lives
if what has come out recently is true she is also a groomer of vulnerable young women and a blackmailer
add that to killer
liar
domestic abuser
"let it fizzle out" doesn't seem quite fair for the swathe of destruction in the wake of her life
and to date not one consequence before her loss at trial
if this monster were male he would have been in jail years ago
best wishes and have a good day
It's so frustrating to see the turd getting away with perjury. Her deposition 6 yrs ago showed the real Turd she is. She had a fake cry here and there but she didn't have anything close to what she did on the stand. She so evil, the way she looks at people, very very calculating
Once again, Andrea's masterclass is compelling, and truly explains why there likely won't be any perjury charges for AH. Thank you Andrea for explaining "reporter's priviledge" and the "circumstancial evidence" with TMZ. Love your smile and your little jabs at Ah ....so articulate with legal words, then a quick one two punch.."she'a a big fat liar"...Andrea, you are the best!
If you are going to lie on the stand and sit in the witness box and you’ve been sworn in, and you get caught out lying, you have to be held accountable for it… If you are not held accountable for lying then it’s a given that it’s ok to do it and that you are able to just keep lying..
Here in Queensland Australia 🇦🇺, if you lie on the stand and you get caught, you can spend up to 3 years in prison.. The Judges here don’t play… You will go to prison..
One of my biggest things for perjury for her, was submitting the EXACT same photo and saying it was from different incidents. Multiple times! Guarantee the prosecutor would be reelected if they brought perjury charges against the Turd.
This deep dive has been so informative. I can see that prosecuting for perjury is a gray area decision. The MO she uses is the type that catches up with people eventually. Thanks, Andrea.
Thank you! 🐟🐟🐟
Ordinary ppl have clearly seen AH committed perjury in this case, and if she’s NOT punished for it, it is clearly one of the reasons why ordinary ppl lose confidence in the legal system!
Agree 💯 AH should be charged with perjury. Lying on the stand needs to be severely fined and or punished no matter who you are.
excellent work, Andrea! you add much value in understanding the nuances of the law!!
Here's a related question. During Amber's direct testimony, she said about the incident before her TV appearance 'Johnny Depp broke my nose'. On cross, she changed her statement to 'I thought Johnny Depp broke my nose'. Since she said both, on the stand and under oath, and both can't be correct, is the first statement a lie under oath? Can you contradict yourself while testifying and more or less swear to multiple versions of the same event or fact? Or does a later statement supersede an earlier statement?
I think that's one of the things that frustrates me bc I'm pretty sure that's the ambiguity Andrea was talking about. Is the difference between "this happened" and "I thought this happened" legally actionable? So frustrating!
Excellents questions
It's not necessarily a discrepancy she thought he broke her nose and then she shortly found out after that he did break her nose. That might be a defense she might use against perjury in this case.
@@virtue_signal_ however, he did not break her nose ever. She started with he broke my nose and then changed it to I thought he broke my nose
@@virtue_signal_ No it is a discrepancy. 'He broke my nose' is a statement of fact...that he performed an action that broke her nose.
'I thought he broke my nose' is also a statement of fact. It means 'He performed an action that I thought broke my nose, but later found out I was mistaken'.
She never went to a doctor. She said that she self-treated it with ice and that it healed on it's own. How did she know then that it wasn't broken?
Anyway, between direct and cross, her knowledge of it being broken or not didn't change. However, on direct, she KNEW he broke it. On cross, she KNEW it was not broken. Both can't be true.
2:11 - not just court time, but police time and non-explicit threats made by lawyers on her side as to the consequence of not telling the truth or following procedures.
Thank you, Andrea, for another fantastic video. She has essentially shown how a person can take a stance based on their perception and emotional truth rather than the truth, with the accountability on the other side to have the facts and work with and from them. I’m glad in this instance, Jd’s team took that approach and had the witnesses, the footage and cameras to the world to back themselves and let people make up their own minds, cutting through the manipulation and agendas posed by her team and MSM.
For most of our history as an English speaking civilization, we swore an oath to God to tell the truth and not to bear false witness against our neighbors. People understood they could do that, but people also understood that they ultimately wouldn't get away with it. The further we get away from that cornerstone prospect, the harder it gets to define "truth" itself. Objective facts are harder to pin down than anyone ever realized they would be and whether or not those facts have value is pretty much the only part of the concept that still survives as "common sense". We throw it all away at our own peril.
And as many others have noted - you look beautiful! I think you do anyway, but :)
Great series, Andrea!! I think that the fact that this trial was SO public should also be a factor in deciding whether or not to charge Amber with perjury. Millions of people know that she lied on the stand. If she doesn’t face the consequences of that, millions of people will be keenly aware of the lack of justice and integrity in our judicial system.
Thank you so much for doing this series. I think a lot of the reason that people feel so unfinished about this trial, and this case, is because of issues just such as this. It's not that we're obsessed with celebrity and the whole Hollywood scene. For me, I'm fascinated with the fact that there's a person like Amber Heard, who has demonstrated such audacity, blatant deceit, and over-the-top hubris. I'm a retired mental health professional, so her case holds deep fascination for me as it's rare to get to see someone with her combination of personality disorders in action.
I would also like to add that when we have an ex-president who is effectively getting away with blatantly lying under multiple circumstances, even under oath, that it's hard to hold the rest of us accountable for things like perjury.
And BTW Andrea...your hair looks so pretty! I love it! 💘
I've never understood the purpose of taking an oath when there's never any consequences for perjury. Far to many people get away with things based on lies leaving a path of destruction in their wake!!
AH angers me so much at what she did to JD all for $$ & revenge 😤
If AH would have won, she would have expected JD to pay her the judgement at once BUT, thank God, she LOST. Has JD seen ANY money from her? (And don't say she's broke b/c she's NOT) She hasn't paid him a dime. Call Elon, AH!
Really interesting. I think why the public are still so involved & passionate about this case is that it doesn't feel closed or that justice has been done fully because everyone who watched the whole trial saw her blatantly lie time after time & although she lost ,it doesn't feel right because of her behaviour in & post trial that she has been held truly accountable. She has no remorse,& has completely ruined a man for many years. Everyone has seen she committed perjury & it feels like she has been allowed to do it.
It's also the most interesting thing in an otherwise boring and uneventful year.
I completely agree with you Andrea. Thank you for breaking it down so eloquently! You are amazing 🌟 Keep shining.
"how can someone get away with impunity just making things up, changing their stories, giving obvious accounts which are fiction on multiple continents ?" , well that is a question which I have screamed at the top of my lungs in a fanatical voice many, many times watching this trial. I hope I will have an answer today...
Thank you so much, Andrea, for this in-depth look at perjury charges (or lack thereof). It is really disheartening that people like Amber Heard are able to not only get away with things of this nature, but practically spit in the eye of anyone who wishes to hold her accountable. I shudder to think how many other unscrupulous people have studied this case carefully and will attempt to get away with the same thing. Our judicial system truly is quite a disappointment in this regard. Maybe there is still hope that the prosecutors in Fairfax County, Virginia, will file charges against Amber Heard and, therefore, discourage others in following suit. I’m holding out hope that they are simply awaiting the outcome of the appeal.
Thank you so much for your input with this case. You shined a light on what would have amounted to a colossal injustice if her lies had been believed here like they were when she was a mere witness in the UK trial. I love your videos - thanks for the content!
Yikes!! You just keep getting better and better... I don't get to watch as frequently as I'd like, but you look amazing today, and of course, the content is your usual insightful, novel analysis! Nicely done....

I loved this series, I loved the series on Isaac Baruch too! So, I will be here with bells on anytime you have something you believe is important to learn from! Every where I go on UA-cam there are people in the comments saying they cannot believe that Amber has not been charged with perjury! And you're right, there is so much mistrust of our justice system. From my perspective telling the truth in our daily lives was very important but I remember in probably 5th grade (I'm pushing 60 so we were slower to tackle things in school than kids today) we had watched enough TV, for me it was Dragnet, Perry Mason, etc. That's where I remember hearing about perjury, what it is and why it's important to be truthful all the time, not just in court. All we can do is wait and see what happens. Whatever does happen I like so many will be here on your channel waiting to be enlightened from you! Thanks for being here for us!
Here’s my question, if TMZ is going to be claiming or striking videos on UA-cam for using material that they own the Copyright to and obviously didn’t produce themselves, it seems like they would be obligated to provide proof of ownership?
I don’t see how this isn’t a matter of Public Record?
Owning a Copyright & how you obtained that ownership, shouldn’t be privileged or “private” information, think of the mess that would cause if anyone could claim ownership of any IP without having to provide documentation?
I would think that anyone who was struck on UA-cam by TMZ for using a video filmed by Amber Heard, would be within their rights to request verification of Copyright Ownership and documentation that their Ownership was legally obtained.
The Virginia Court, at the very least, should be able to request proof of Ownership of that Copyright, since it was entered into evidence in their court and it became a matter of dispute by AH saying “she didn’t sell the Copyright to TMZ”, they should be able to ask TMZ to provide proof of how and who they obtained that Copyright from & if they paid for it and how much they paid?
That could prove if AH did commit perjury, or if she transferred the Copyright to someone else first, who then sold it to TMZ.
My point is, we shouldn’t have to solely rely on Morgan Tremaines’ testimony alone.
TMZ isn’t treating the video in question as “information from a source”, they are actively treating it as “published media being essentially licensed to UA-cam and used for monetary gain” and striking anyone else using their media with a Copyright claim, that should really clear the “Press source protection” hurdle, in my opinion?
I might even support their “source protection” stance, if they were treating it as something that fell under “Fair Use”, but by actively protecting their Copyright and licensing it to NBC, and anyone who wants to use it, with a monetary gain for TMZ, it becomes “content”, that gives them the burden of “proof of ownership” IMHO.
Yay! I've been waiting for this one Andrea.
Can't wait for more. You are an excellent speaker, you choose interesting topics, and you explain them thoroughly and clearly. Always happy to watch you.
I have to stop for a second and make a comment before the comments really start to come in. After and during watching Andrea's fine videos, I feel like I'm in a fine art gallery or museum. Andrea is like the tour guide. Offering, experience and thoughtful insights to the paintings and sculptures. "And in this painting we see the portrait of a man with power. He uses his power, balancing the various needs in a society..." "And over here in this section we can see the brush strokes change. Was the artist working with additional passion? Or did the painter hurry up because lunchtime is coming in less than an hour. We don't know."

I have waned in watching AH v JD stuff, but when I see something from you, I am quite tempted to watch. I must say that you never disappoint. Wonderful job, as always!
It's insane if Morgan Tremaine is the best (& apparently only) instance of perjury charges that can be considered being brought against AH. The last minute of this video spells out what has and is happening to the justice system, if there is even 20% of America that believes in it any more, that is being generous.
Great deep dive. I thought this series might be boring, considering I’d watched every second of the trial, but you managed to make it super interesting. Thanks!
One of her lies I think about a lot that often gets overlooked is that in her 2016 deposition, she said very confidently that she could not remember whether she hit Johnny during the stair incident, but in the Virginia trial, she somehow “remembered” very clearly that she definitely “landed a blow” and somehow remembered all this new detail… Watching those two clips side by side is wild. If perjury isn’t pursued it’ll send the message that the court system is a free for all and you can just make up whatever you want with no consequences. Ps- I love that you called out Amber’s hoax (à la Adam Waldman). Very badass! 🙂 Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for explaining this in detail. I’ve served on juries and not gotten, from first hand experience, the in depth understanding of the process I’ve gotten from this series.
Thanks, Andrea.
i dont understand how being found guilty of defamation with malice in a trial you testified in doesnt automatically bring perjury charges
Civil cases are not criminal cases
I know this video was about Perjury, I would like to know maybe I don't understand it if she wins on freedom of speech does that mean anybody could defame someone and get away with freedom of speech? Thank you for this video.
It's just a REVIEW of the trial that already took place. She's NOT winning anything.
She seems untouchable. There’s so much evidence on her about perjury, abusing, lying etc……but she gets off with it so her behaviour still continues. I’m beginning to think her influence is higher up than we ever thought. Has she got so much black mail on everyone?
Ohhhh how I truly enjoy these deep dives. Depp vs Heard has been one astonishing case for sure. Thank you for sharing your analysis. 👏👏
Andrea, just when you think Heard’s Lies could not be more offensive than we’ve witnessed. Part 7 of her Deposition and the behavior of her Attorney is “by far” the worst we’ve seen of Heard.
It's very strange to me that the decision to pursue perjury is essentially up to an individual political actor. It seems to me that lying to the court should trigger some automatic perjury procedure and not just when the prosecutor feels like it.
Hi Andrea, I hope that perjury can be highlighted after 5his case, being high profile etc. Or people just going to keep lying and getting away with it. Love your deep dives, thank you, till next time 😘
The constant lying, under oath, by our elected officials and others like AH is really getting to me. I always assumed that the reason perjury charges are rarely pursued is because of the public expense - the taxpayer's money. To me, this was a reasonable response. I think we all have better things to do with our money than pursue the obvious liar, like AH.
I'm a big believer in the court of public opinion. We've all seen where someone was acquitted of murder and the grief of the friends and relatives who know better but we've also seen the repercussions of "not guilty" on the accused - think Casey Anthony. Whatever the court may have decided, public opinion is rendering a judgment and I do believe that makes a difference.
Does anybody doubt that Amber Heard is feeling the effects of the public's opinion of her and her actions? It may not seem like much, sitting here at our keyboards pounding away, but worldwide condemnation surrounds Amber Heard wherever she goes. And I find that very satisfying.
What about wasting court time, costs and resources that could have been put to better use?
@@ThriveCollective1188 She needs to face consequences and send a message to all future would-be scammers: that lies have consequences.
Thank you Andrea, I'm. In Australia and obviously we have a similar but different legal system but you do really dissect and explain every facet of the legalities around each and every topic related to this case, also you have an incredible way of engaging your audience.
Favorite youtuber. Insightful, pertinent and just the right dose of sarcasm
Oh hey Wednesday Adams! Draco really brought the goods! Have you listened his interview with court tv side bar podcast? Really good insight into a bit of a background of how he ended up testifying!
I always look forward to your videos! Xx
They're never going to charge her with perjury...if they were, it would have happened already. Plus, now that she's out of the country, they aren't going to go after her. US won't do a damn thing....neither will Austrailia. And she'll probably come up with some scheme to get out of paying JD what she owes him....or what she owes anyone else. If the legal world actually worked and functioned like it's SUPPOSED to do, she would already be in JAIL....WHERE SHE BELONGS!!!!!
First off, awesome look. Second, it seems like the minor details aren't as important as the overall effect. The old precedent you showed even stated that whether it was a stick or a sword didn't matter, only the fact that someone was beaten with it.
Very interesting clarification compared to what little I knew from my TV law degree.
She IS THE BEST! Tysm Andrea ❤️💯❤️ and you look beautiful 🙏
I’m so glad you covered the perjury issue. Indeed, I’ve seen many comments and questions regarding why Amber Heard isn’t being charged with perjury, or facing any criminal charges whatsoever. After everything she’s done that is illegal -not the least of which being the physical abuse of her spouse -a layman might wonder why she seems to be above the law. It helps to know how difficult it actually is to prove perjury. Nevertheless, Amber’s apparent immunity does not shine a very positive light on the justice system.
Thank you again for your brilliant insight!
Love your breakdown of your legal system, it really infuriates me how much the media is protected & gives them carte blanch to write whatever they like. I’d love to see her charged but I doubt we will see her back in court unless she assaults someone else & they press charges! Look forward to the next deep dive series.
Always look forward to your videos, Andrea. Thank you!
Ok, im not a lawyer and am probably in way over my head with this. But would there be a way to turn the whole AH, TMZ thing into something against TMZ to prove they had the legal copyright to that video? So the guy from TMZ who testified (sorry I forget his name) said the *only way* that TMZ could have legally published that video on the timeline they did is if they got permission from AH.... AH says she didnt give permission... could they then go after TMZ and say "hey, this video might have been pirated, you need to show us that it is legally yours"? Again this might be complete gibberish... just a thought 😁
I was thinking, since TMZ copyright struck UA-cam videos over the clip Amber swore she had not given them, which when presented at trial was obviously made by her. Could the UA-camr demand TMZ prove they actually held the copyright. Then a person not working forTMZ person would have first hand knowledge of who sold or gave TMZ the copyright and be able to testify in court proving without a shadow of a doubt she had committed perjury.
@@katiehettinger7857 I like the angle of the youtubers who were copyright struck on the video having standing to pursue something against UA-cam which would result in the production of the source of the copyright claim, but it seems like a torturous route, and one that possibly wouldn't bear fruit on thr perjury against Heard issue, as they may be able to convince a judge to seal the evidence on the basis of protecting journalistic sources or aomesuch.
👏👏👏👏 I love how you packaged all this, especially showing the different state laws. But i have one question, if they did try to get TMZ to cough up that paperwork, who's laws would it sit under? Would it be under Virginia as she had purgered herself there or California as it was done in that state?
It would be CA, since TMZ is in CA and the prosecutor would have to go there to try to get the docs.
I thought that might be the case, thank you for the reply 😊
The work of Brian at Incredibly Average proves many lies, including hoax, he 100% proved IO's lies & so much more. His work is professionally researched & organized, it seems that it should've been used at trial.
Thanks Andrea, I appreciate your thoroughness. I planned to stay subscribed and look forward to your future videos on whatever topic you choose.
I think that even a long shot for finding AH liable for perjury, it worths all the effort as maybe it helps avoiding or lessening the misinformation and lies that are being spread after the trial.
I look forward to the videos for a competent and comprehensive review if the issues. I also love your hair and make up today!!!!!!!
As the days go on & she hasn't admitted or apologised for her abusing behaviour I just hope she gets charged in Australia, Depp wins his appeal and the case in the UK gets over turned. One can wish. That poor man its just endless ....how he is sane & able to move on is remarkable. Hats off to him
You're very good, Andrea.
Question: I wish TMZ would just decide to disclose the contract with AH but we know that won't happen. But if that contract were leaked, could the attorney in VA use that as evidence if they could prove its veracity?
I like how you communicate with your eyes
Mass lying should be a class of perjury like war crimes.
Federal law requires copyright transfers be in writing except work for hires. Maybe one of the lawtubers that was copyright struck by tmz for the video could bring a declaratory judgement for non-infringement. Either tmz loses the case, or has to show the transfer document in discovery?
Andrea hope you will detail all criminal charges that are probable of public record such as the assaults with intent ...battery disregard main... For the criminal conspired public fraud must be addressed.
Thank you, well said. It is something that has stuck with me, we have always learned there are grave consequences to perjury and then we saw it happen and no consequences. Are there other cases where people have been charged and prosecuted? My fear is that everyone learned that it is just fine to lie, the threat of perjury charges is a 'hoax'!
I have long suspected that IO Tillet Wright was involved with editing the video and supplying to TMZ. In IO deposition played in Virginia trial, IO confirmed he received the video in a text exchange from Amber on February 10 2016.
Watching your video, I wondered what if Amber transferred the copyright to a third party (such as IO) and then the third-party transferred to TMZ? Amber seems capable of muddying the situation and shifting blame to others.
Thank you! One year later and I am watching all your videos because you explain it so perfectly!
Thanks, Andrea. Very informative, as always. 👌👏❤️
I really wish jurors would come forward and talk about their thoughts. I suspect that at least some want to, but are being advised not to until the appeal.
I believe Elaine asked for the jury's identity be kept underseal for one year after the verdict. Something like that is my understanding. I figured it may precludes them from coming forward publicly for a year.
This is great, (as usual :) ) im mexican and growing up i remember learning that the basis of USA’s court sistem was the truth. That the worst thing you could do in the USA was to lie. The truth was the most valued belief. When i saw the trial i was really thinking and feeling that if by any chance she’d won, a very important cornerstone of the USA was going to be lost. I really see this lying in court and as you say taking the time of so many people with reckless disregard for the truth, is something very very serious. And that she is continuing doing things because shes mad, only shows that she doesnt care. I found that very disrispectful and dangerous! Thankyouuu , i love your videos.
"She can get away with things and other people can't" That sounds like the exact same mentality of a certain ex-president who's been caught in multiple lies and should be in prison for multiple crimes, but probably won't be convicted. The justice system in the USA is already a joke and if he and people like Amber face no repercussions for their crimes then what good is the justice system?
I'm so glad that in my country, Sweden, there is basically no prosecutorial discretion (except for very limited charges of a more private nature).
Nor are they elected but as with the rest of the country are under independent agencies where our elected people are forbidden to interfere in a case by case nature.
The prosecutor has an absolute duty to prosecute all crimes where there are enough evidence that a crime has been committed and it is possible to prove who has done it.
(They are also less adversarial than in the states while the lawyers basically only have their duty to their clients.)
American lawyers don't only have duties to their clients but also to their state and bar association. And you're joking if you think Swedish laws are remotely equally enforced, how many prosecutions have there been for hets mot folkgrupp where the folkgrupp were Swedes being degraded and threatened? Last I checked it was literally none which is pretty shocking because there certainly are plenty of cases of people using slurs etc against people based on their Swedish ethnicity.
Further, our jury system in Sweden is nuts. There's no jury by the people, just elected party members- not elected by the public like in the US. Which is much bigger problem than elected prosecutors.
@@baxterandcotton For the crime you are referring you have to be a minority or of the protected classes in the law.
On the world justice project Sweden is on place four globally on 8.4 | Criminal System is impartial.
Thank you for sharing your insights with us, Andrea. I have always had a hard time believing a high profile person like Amber would be held accountable for lying in court. Maybe the Aussies will come through. I hope you won't be offended if I mention that you look especially fetching today.
Superb legal analysis and broken down for the lay person to understand.
25 minutes, perfectly timed for my entire drive from work to home! Love it.
I think I might know of a way to get around TMZ's reporter's privilege. And that is for all of the Lawtubers who received a copyright take down, to sue TMZ, challenging their lawful ownership of the copyright to the video. They would then be forced to prove that they own it, which would require that the paperwork be produced.
Thank you Andrea. This was truly eye opening. Things really do need to change.
Thank you for explaining the burning question of how AH can get away with perjury, especially as it happened in UK and Australia as well. I hope Johnny wins re. the hoax on appeal.
Thank you Andrea for your analysis. If I may too and on an aside - your
hair and makeup look great I’m this video. Just paying a respectful compliment.
She will have something on someone, she will not face any charges
Thank you very much. I always enjoy your dives into the law and the way you can explain it so us non legal folks fully understand the issues
