The Johnny Depp and Amber Heard case began on April 11 and officially ended on June 2, totaling a six week trial. Depp’s team brought in testimonies from former wife,Kate Moss and Morgan Tremaine, a retired TMZ employee.

“I stand to gain nothing from this. I’m actually putting myself kind of in the target of TMZ, a very litigious organization,” Tremaine said in response to a question from Heard’s attorney. “I’m not seeking any 15 minutes here.

While Tremaine and Moss both made strong arguments in favor of Depp, Heard came back with Dr. Richard Moore, an orthopedic surgeon; Dr. David R.
