#that's been proven beyond a doubt by modern genetic testing of their exhumed skeletons

My Amber Heard/Johnny Depp opinion as an actual lawyer is that on the exceedingly rare occasion that a prima facie case can be made for a woman's guilt of a violent crime the media always take it and run with it, while at the same time ignoring the far worse violent crimes men commit every day. Often this results in overly harsh punishments for the female defendant and, in a disturbingly high number of cases, straight up sentencing an actually innocent woman. I don't know if Amber Heard 'did it' and I have very little faith in the legal system to get to the bottom of it. But I'm fairly sure that, regardless of what is uncovered and who was at fault, Johnny Depp will be fine.
#for example#Australia's 'worst female serial killer'?#actually turns out her four kids that she 'murdered' all inherited the same generic condition which causes sudden death at a young age#that's been proven beyond a doubt by modern genetic testing of their exhumed skeletons#hundreds of scientists have endorsed the view that Kathleen Folbigg is innocent#and yet she's still in jail#which would be bad enough#except there was literally no evidence to convict her in the first place#they couldn't even say whether she suffocated the kids poisoned them or what#because they simply didn't know#they definitely didn't have evidence that proved murder 'beyond reasonable doubt'#which is the standard for a criminal conviction#unless apparently you're a woman and therefore subject to the overriding court of public opinion#or what about Lindy 'a dingo took my baby' Chamberlain?#all the 'evidence' against her incriminated her husband just as much#but he never set a foot inside a jail cell#meanwhile Chamberlain served four years of a life sentence before being 'pardoned'#which is legalese for being forgiven for a crime committed#except no crime had been committed#(and infact any evidence of such a crime had been fabricated by the police)#(for reasons)#but even to this day most people insist Chamberlain killed her daughter#and think it's a big ol joke#and this is just the go for every case regarding a woman being violent#so excuse me for acknowledging how unlikely it is for this heard/depp saga to end in actual justice#feminism#radblr#amber heard#johnny depp
