8h 30min, sep 20, 2019 y - Roberta Kaplan Statement We did not threaten to release any photos

Description:

"Mr. Depp's legal team has grossly mischaracterized our discussions. Before the hearing, we showed them certain photographs to express our astonishment that Mr. Depp was opposing entry of a standard protective order that would preserve BOTH parties' privacy as we engage in discovery prior to trial. We did not threaten to 'release' any photographs, including photographs showing Mr. Depp using illegal drugs.

Instead, we presented certain photographs to the Judge during the hearing in order to explain that a protective order would make sense in this case. Indeed, we were very careful with the contents of the photographs in court- we did not display them to anyone other than the Judge or even describe them on the record. And we have not "released" them to anyone."

She continued, "Unfortunately, when lawyers like Mr Depp's make false and inflammatory accusations and distort information about what happened in court or evidence in the case, all that they accomplish is to threaten the integrity of the judicial process."
