You are going to far to defend her.

Reread the bolded part, and explain how I have defended her. I've have just described the law to the best of my knowledge. I do not have a proper command of the facts or the arguments presented to offer any judgment, and have repeatedly said so... kind of feels like to Depp's supporters anything less than "hang the bitch" qualifies as defending her. I have close to zero interest in the actual dispute, I'm just interested as an (almost) lawyer.

Didn`t she also claim sexual abuse in her opinion piece?

In a defamation suit, you would focus on specific statements. To my knowledge none of the statements that were found to be defamatory mentioned sexual abuse. The claims of sexual abuse were more vague as to the time period they applied to, which I'm guessing is why they were not alleged to be defamatory in the lawsuit.

You wanted to push that if she believed she was telling the truth (which well no one would really be able to prove since the evidence all show she was lying) then she should be awarded a victory in the case. That is pretty much defending that even if she is wrong she is right, or that even if JD was the victim of abuse and defamation he should lose.

Asking her to be held accountable is a lot less than "hang the bitch", but you are more similar to some people that say "both were wrong so none should lose" while doing nothing to remedy the wrongs that she done.

You are interested as an almost lawyer but don't hear the testimony, evidences and anything else? What type of interest is that? To just say whatever?

Yes the sexual assault claim wasn't included in the claims from JD lawyers, but I do remember it being mentioned. Anyway on the regards to physical abuse (instead of only mental abuse that could be more of a perception claim) do you think believing to be right is enough to say it wasn't a lie or defamation? And on malice from what I understand it have more to do with she having intention of harming JD with it than to believe it was the truth or not.
