FAIRFAX, Va. — Inside Courtroom 5J here in Fairfax County Circuit Court, actress Amber Heard walked out of the courtroom alone last week, grim and stone-faced, after a jury delivered a stinging verdict. In a statement posted on Instagram, her ex-husband Johnny Depp wrote: “Veritas numquam perit. Truth never perishes.”
The verdict wasn’t just against Heard for defaming Depp. It was a searing indictment of a sorry chapter in American justice: the illogical, unjust “Believe Her” industry that made Heard a poster girl for a corrupt movement determined to crush men and stamp out a keystone of our civil liberties.
