The way the trial falls give the jury a week in between Heards testimony and cross-examination which Amber Melville-Brown, a media and reputation law specialist at Withers Worldwide, told the outlet could work in two ways for Heard.
Melville-Brown said that if the jury find Heard “credible” they could “dwell on that over the coming days” which may work in Heard’s advantage, however, similarly the time also gives Depp’s team extra preparation time for the cross-examination.
