After the verdict, Amber Heard took social media to express her feelings and posted a photo that said, “The disappointment I feel today is beyond words,” She later wrote in a statement following the verdict. “I’m heartbroken that the mountain of evidence still was not enough to stand up to the disproportionate power, influence, and sway of my ex-husband.”

Bredehoft: Courtzoom turned into a zoo
