Spectators were quick to voice their amusement when a loud siren they believed to be an Amber Alert disrupted closing arguments in the defamation trial between actor Johnny Depp and his former spouse, actress Amber Heard.
Friday brought about the end of the six-week trial, rooted in a $50 million defamation suit filed by Depp claiming that a 2018 op-ed — written by Heard on the topic of domestic violence and her alleged experience as a victim — had damaged his career and reputation. Heard countersued for $100 million, arguing that she had not mentioned Depp by name in the article and that he was smearing her by claiming she had been violent with him.
