The NewsWorthy - Special Edition: Verdict, Virality & Violence in Depp vs. Heard (w/ Emily D. Baker)

At times, it’s felt like the whole world tuned in to see the drama unfold between divorced actors Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. The defamation trial dominated the conversation on social media for the last month and a half and sharply divided viewers who took sides.

The jury ultimately ruled in Depp’s favor and decided Heard lied about Depp abusing her. Supporters say Depp should be applauded for defending his reputation. Critics have expressed concern that this verdict could make domestic violence victims afraid to speak up against alleged abusers.

To help provide an analysis of it all, I spoke with a legal expert: former L.A. county prosecutor and Youtube star Emily D. Baker. Her live-streamed coverage of the trial attracted hundreds of thousands of viewers. She’s weighing in on how the jury reached its decision, how celebrity factored into this trial, and her take on the lasting impact.

Amicus With Dahlia Lithwick | Law, justice, and the courts - Our Guns Problem is a Democracy Problem


Dahlia Lithwick is joined by Mark Joseph Stern to tee up the final weeks of the Supreme Court term. Several blockbusters are still to come, from abortion to gun rights to religious liberty to climate action—and then there’s the shadow docket. Mark and Dahlia break it all down with insights into what to expect and what to watch for. 

Dahlia also spoke with former Attorney General Eric Holder this week, and he made the clear and urgent case that if you want gun reform, you need to work on democracy reform. Attorney General Holder will be back on Amicus in July to talk about his book for our summer reading series. 


In this week’s Amicus Plus segment, as the Supreme Court investigates clerks over the Dobbs leak, and in the wake of the revelations of Ginni Thomas’ involvement in efforts to overturn the 2020 election, Dahlia is in conversation with Noah Bookbinder of CREW about how to fix judicial ethics.
