The court would need to decide if they believe it or not, only because the question is "Did she lie about saying Johnny Depp physically abused her?" I don't even know if a definition of domestic abuse will even factor into the jury instructions.

I mean it probably should given that the term given in the article is "domestic abuse" which encompasses more than just the physical violence the trial has been focused on.

If I have a point it's that this is nebulous enough to me that I have no idea how Depp expects to win. Not to mention the net result of people saying "not naming any names or details but I experienced domestic abuse" being considered a legally actionable claim of libel is uh. Probably not good.

I think what he's asking is if it really matters if Johnny can prove that Amber abused him if the trial is about did she lie about Johnny abusing her. Like "yup Amber beat the shit out of Johnny, but Heard's lawyers prove that, however infrequently, Heard was struck and/or sexually abused a few times."

Yeah that's a good summary, people are coming at Heard as if everything she's saying is made up but all she needs is ONE credible instance of abuse to not be lying and that's not totally out of the picture imo.
