What's the point of this case is it like a divorce trial or is one of them suing the other one?

I poo poo my pants more than the average person, but not so much I'd say I have a problem, is that the kind of stuff my wife's gonna go on the stand and talk about if we get divorced?

It's an enigma to me how anyone who ACTUALLY pays attention to this poo poo and watches the trial could contend that they aren't both toxic and abusive in some way.

Heard fabricates stories/evidence and clearly has BPD or BPD adjacent symptoms. Johnny has substance abuse problems, and (not necessarily to his fault) is not equipped to be attentive to the needs of someone with BPD, which is bound to lead to all sorts of relationship problems on both of their behalves. They are BOTH physically abusive, possibly her more than him. The trial is almost certainly just a show piece to get some level of reputation back for Depp, who didn't really have much of a better option considering the way it all initially went down. Even with the Depp lawyers making a complete mockery of the Heard lawyers, it's a tough case to win from my understanding of how Defamation works, so it really is just to influence public opinion.

The problem with that is we live in a society where people read headlines, not stories. Even if the average person calculated well-informed opinions instead of brigading for either side based on the first few pieces of vague, un-authenticatable information they hear about, why should the average person even care? Seeing the Heard lawyers get dumpstered is probably more entertaining than any foreseeable future Pirates franchise film, TBH.
