Amanda Knox Sympathizes With Amber Heard And Johnny Depp On “Spectacle” Case

https://www.soapoperaspy.com/2015/abc-family-adds-new-primetime-soap-guilt-amanda-knox-inspired-drama/Amanda Knox is not sure anyone can win in a case like Amber Heard and Johnny Depp’s $50 million defamation case. As someone who’s suffered at the hands of public opinion, Knox is sympathizing with everyone who’s ever had to go through it, including the two people who are currently the talk of the internet.

Amanda Knox – Condemns Public Attention on the Depp V. Heard Case

Amanda Knox was wrongfully convicted for the 2007 murder of her roommate when she was a 20-year-old American studying abroad in Perugia, Italy. She spent four years in prison before she was finally exonerated.

In a new op-ed for the U.K. outlet The Independent, titled “I feel for Depp and Heard – I know what it’s like to have the public decide you’re guilty”, the 34-year-old condemned public judgement.

She recalled her own painful experience receiving international attention and scrutiny during her court case. She said she is “still dealing with the psychological trauma of the public shaming I’ve endured.”

As the court case continues, Heard testified to suffering from Depp’s supporters, who drag and threaten her.

Wrote Knox, “As someone who’s received plenty of death threats, I can tell you that, while it’s a fairly safe assumption that most are empty rhetoric fueled by rageful echo chambers, misinformation and anonymity, you never know. And that slim chance is terrifying.”

“Who wins in a trial like this? Not Depp. Not Heard. Not us,” continued Knox. “But can’t we condemn the spectacle and yet still sift the evidence to arrive at our conclusions about the guilt and innocence of these two human beings whose trauma and pain and ugliness has been paraded before us?”

She added, “I’m not going to tell you my opinion on the Depp v. Heard trial. My opinion is just that, an opinion, and it doesn’t matter. And frankly, neither does yours.”

On Heard’s part, she testified to begging Johnny Depp to not file the court case or drag her to court, because it was painful for her to have to sit and prove that she’s not a liar.

However, Amber Heard, 36, also filed a countersuit against Johnny Depp, 58, for the shocking amount of $100 million.
