Amber Heard Returns! After Amicus Briefs, 300 organizations and experts supporting the 1st amendment and against abuse, a fierce battle, and a settlement... Amber Heard returns as Mera in Aquaman...
Shown is Nicole Kidman and Jason Momoa hugging Amber, an OPEN Letter, and the ironic paradox of the Movie Poster of Amber with Elon Musk's rocketship to Aquaman 1's poster with Arthur's trident...
We hope that Amber Heard's publicists and talent agents are able to help Amber as she gains in support with the 'tide turning.' A reversal in society is occurring...
97 organizations and experts signed two Amicus Briefs supporting Amber Heard - appeal date was November by Thanksgiving!
Amber's due process was nearly removed - the Transcripts and Official Records were blocked off from 3rd parties and the public...
Within these records, are numerous "Dimensions" supporting Amber Heard's case and that she was abused, e.g., reports to medical professionals that declare in depositions she was abused.
A Mandamus Order was done by the court of appeals judges, upon request by a law firm representing Amici - to release them to 3rd parties as an American Right.
Due to fear that the clerk could appeal, it was kept quiet. Moreover, the transcriptions* of each day of the court was released by journalist Nick Wallis, as purchasing the records can be prohibitive even at 50 cents a page. Since then, the public eventually obtained access, able to see these dimensions and evidence supporting Ms. Heard.
In the last update, it was discussed about 'hollywood fixers' and their inane attention to changing people's perspectives - as if it's through various camera lenses with special effects as blinders - it's certainly recommended to review a new Docuseries about Anthony Pellicano. The 2nd episode from the mid 2000s is particularly enlightening.
"Fixers" mean that they find ways to 'cheat' in cases - if you understand this, you will know why Amber Heard could be vindicated for 14 incidents in another court, yet 2 years later, be unrightfully ruined in the 2nd venue -
Here are some highlights from the 2nd Amicus Brief as a strong counter to anyone trying to alter perspectives of people who may think the shark in Jaws is really not just part of a studio robot! -
IDENTITY AND INTEREST OF AMICUS CURIAE1
The entities, identified in Appendix A [Amicus Appendix (“App.”) A], who have signed onto this brief fall into three primary categories. First, organizations that support a vibrant First Amendment have joined to protect their ability to engage in reporting facts and opinions regarding important current issues, which is threatened by the verdict in this case.
Second, civil rights and women’s groups have joined to address the significant diminution of reporting of abuse against women as a result of this verdict. Third, groups assisting persons who have been abused, especially involving intimate partner abuse, have joined to protect their clients from the devastating effect of this verdict. In addition, respected authorities in all three areas have added their voices to the brief.
Ms. Heard’s Op/Ed was Protected Opinion:
Amici believe that this Court should hold as a matter of law that the Opinion Editorial drafted by Ms. Heard was “opinion” written to address the problem of retaliation in Hollywood when women speak about men who abuse their power to harass and assault women. The point of the Op/Ed was to illustrate this problem and to encourage advocacy for political and social reform...
“Abuse” in The Op/Ed Was a Subjective Perspective:
Ms. Heard’s reference to “abuse” and “domestic abuse” are subjective
opinions of her perspective, not a verifiable fact that could be defamatory.
Milkovich, 497 U.S. at 20. Demonstrating that the Op/Ed contained only “opinion,” Ms. Heard only used the vague and undefined terms “abuse” and “domestic abuse” in the Op/Ed in the two contested non-headline statements... The statements represented her viewpoint regarding her experiences. In both cases, the Op/Ed contained Ms. Heard’s true opinion as an advocate speaking out against domestic abuse. The term “abuse” as used by Ms. Heard is subjective – it is an opinion in the eye of the person who has been subjected to a wide range of conduct – and not subject to a clear true/false analysis. See Hyland, 277 Va. at 47, 670 S.E.2d at 751 (2009) (statement relative in nature and depending largely on a speaker's view, is an expression of opinion). During the trial, there was uncontroverted evidence regarding actions... that constituted “abuse” from the perspective of any woman...
Here, as in Sandmann, the word “abuse” is an imprecise term capable of different meanings that lacks “a plausible method of verification.” Id.; see Sandmann v. WP Co. LLC, 401 F. Supp.3d 781, 792 (W.D. Ky. 2019) ...
The Trial Court Should Have Dismissed This Action Based Upon
Comity
In addition to the First Amendment concerns regarding this verdict, there is
reason for the Amici to be concerned that the trial court gave short shrift to the UK High Court’s decision finding that it was “substantially true” that ... engaged in spousal abuse against Ms. Heard causing her to suffer significant injury and on occasion leading her to fear for her life. R. 7806, 7808, 7828, 7900, 7931 [¶¶ 12, 80, 455(xi), 583, 585]. The UK court further found the abuse to have sexual dimensions and prodigious amounts of property damage caused during jealous sexual accusations in non-contact sexual violence against Ms. Heard which created a probable balance for sexual assault. See, e.g., R. 7881, 7900 [¶¶ 370(i) (sexual dimensions), 455(xii) (property damage)]...
The doctrine further does not allow the claimant to twist the meaning of the words in a publication that is alleged to be defamatory. When evidence establishes that the defendant has a subjective basis, considering their vantage point, for the statements they have made, actual malice cannot be reasonably found.
The damage that will be done if the verdict is upheld to First Amendment jurisprudence, the ability of Virginians to express their opinions, and the ability of women to report domestic violence for fear of retribution and an expensive lawsuit would be no less than catastrophic. For these reasons, the Amici respectfully request that this Honorable Court reverse the judgment against Ms. Heard with instructions to dismiss all of ... claims.
