10h 20min, apr 11, 2022 y - Depp v Heard MEDIA: Day 1 Johnny Depp suit against Amber Heard starts with jury picks

Description:

Judge Azcarate began by grilling the pool of 60 potential jurors about what they knew of the rancorous three-year defamation case.

'We need to find out what you know and whether you can be a fair, impartial juror,' she told the hearing, which was closed to the public. 'What you hear about this case must be limited to what you hear within the four walls of this courtroom.'

The majority of prospective jurors said they had heard snippets about the case, seen photos or had read a handful of articles but all said they could keep an open mind.
