One of the attorneys from Johnny Depp‘s legal team, Camille Vasquez, seems to have become the internet’s favourite as the six-week-long televised trial between the two Hollywood bigwigs came to an end yesterday, resulting in Depp’s win against Amber Heard.
Over the course of the trial, while trying to defend her client, the young California lawyer managed to unintentionally turn the limelight on herself and has gone on to become the internet’s latest sensation thanks to her legal expertise and in-court brilliance.
As per E! News, soon after the verdict was read, Depp’s lawyers spoke out outside the courtroom.
She said, “Today’s verdict confirms what we have said from the beginning, that the claims against Johnny Depp are defamatory and unsupported by any evidence… We are grateful, so grateful to the jury for their careful deliberation, to the judge and the court staff who have devoted an enormous amount of time and resources towards this case.”
During the trial, Vasquez had fearlessly cross-examined Heard and among the highlights had been when she asked the ‘Aquaman’ actor whether the 7 million dollar divorce settlement amount had been donated to charity by her, as promised.
After Heard tried to avoid answering it directly by stating that she had pledged the money to different charities, Vasquez famously pointed out the misdirection by saying “Ms Heard, respectfully, that’s not my question.”
While her efforts have left Heard in a tough spot, the internet can’t ignore but obsess over Vasquez. “I gotta say, I want Camille Vasquez as my lawyer if I ever get into trouble. She’s a boss. Her closing arguments are on point,” one user shared on Twitter.
