A Pragmatic Study of Nonverbal Communication in Johnny Depp Versus Amber Heard’s Public Trial
Depp and Heard's trial has reaped significant attention due to the domestic violence allegations directed towards each other. This paper sheds light on the repressed narrative beyond the mere words spoken aloud. It delves into an overlooked aspect, i.e., nonverbal communication. Previous studies focused on one or two categories of nonverbal communication. Therefore, the current study investigates the types and sub-types of nonverbal communication exhibited by both rivals within the courtroom setting. To examine the credibility and repressibility of nonverbal communication, the researchers have carefully watched (28) videos representing the whole trial's event. Some nonverbal communication was traced through the whole (28) videos from which (10) screenshots were purposely selected to represent nonverbal communication. In some cases, the researchers had to attract the reader's attention to the verbal communication to provide the context in which the nonverbal communication was analyzed. To achieve the aims of the study, the researchers rely on Grice's Maxims (1975) and Leonard's (2012) model of nonverbal communication, which consists of six categories with their subcategories. The results show that Depp utilized various types of nonverbal communication while Heard overused lip pressing and head movements. Depp also adhered to most of Grice's maxims, while Heard violated some. In some situations, the nonverbal communication was interpreted. In other situations, the nonverbal communication was supported or contradicted by verbal communication. Nonverbal communication cannot be controlled. If the communicator controls one or two types of nonverbal communication, it will either sound exaggerated or reveal the real intention.

Johnny Depp Starts Here
From beloved bad-boy to cool and captivating maverick, Johnny Depp has inspired media intrigue and has been the source of international acclaim since the early 1990s. He has attracted attention for his eccentric image, his accidental acting career, his beguiling good looks, and his quirky charm. In Johnny Depp Starts Here, film scholar Murray Pomerance explores our fascination with Depp, his riddling complexity, and his meaning for our culture. Moving beyond the actor's engaging and inscrutable private life, Pomerance focuses on his enigmatic screen performances from A Nightmare on Elm Street to Secret Window.The actor's image is studied in terms of its ambiguities and its many strange nuances: Depp's ethnicity, his smoking, his tranquility, his unceasing motion, his links to the Gothic, the Beats, Simone de Beauvoir, the history of rationality, Impressionist painting, and more. In a series of treatments of his key roles, including Rafael in The Brave, Bon Bon in Before Night Falls, Jack Kerouac in The Source, and the long list of acclaimed performances from Gilbert Grape to Cap'n Jack Sparrow, we learn of Johnny onscreen in terms of male sexuality, space travel, optical experience, nineteenth-century American capitalism, Orientalism, the vulnerability of performance, the perils of sleep, comedy, the myth of the West, Scrooge McDuck, Frantois Truffaut, and more.Johnny's face, Johnny's gaze, Johnny's aging, and Johnny's understatement are shown to be inextricably linked to our own desperate need to plumb performance, style, and screen for a grounding of reality in this ever-accelerating world of fragmentation and insecurity. Both deeply intriguing and perpetually elusive, Depp is revealed as the central screen performer of the contemporary age, the symbol of performance itself.No thinker has meditated on Johnny Depp this way before-and surely not in a manner worthy of the object of scrutiny.

Depp v. Heard: A Feminist Mea Culpa
The week I sat down to write this reflection, the big news story was that the actor Johnny Depp had won his defamation case against his former wife Amber Heard, sparked by a 2018 opinion piece written by Heard and published by the Washington Post in which she described herself as a 'public figure representing domestic abuse'.1 Depp's name was not mentioned, but he sued for libel and sought damages to compensate for lost earnings, prompting Heard to countersue on the basis that she had endured domestic violence during their 15-month marriage. The larger cultural impact of the Depp-Heard court case-together with the preceding November 2020 United Kingdom libel case in which Depp lost against the tabloid the Sun, who described him as a 'wife-beater' after the judge ruled the claim was 'substantially true'-will no doubt be assessed for months and years to come, including by feminist historians.2 In the immediate wake of the verdict, feminist legal historian Jessica Lake very usefully placed the case in a larger history of the gendered dimensions of defamation law in the United States: Historically the common law of defamation was built to protect public men in their professions and trades. Another asked me to comment on the case in relation to its implication for survivors of domestic violence, presumably because, along with Ann Curthoys and Catherine Kevin, I am part of a team of historians currently researching an Australian Research Council funded history of domestic violence in Australia.

Darkness and light
Aside from the emotional strain that such testing can bring, it also raises questions about physical care and finances; the certainty ofknowing you have the mutation can make it more difficult to get longterm health or life insurance. In PGD, embryos created through in vitro fertilization (IVF) are screened for specific genetic disorders; only those without the related mutations are implanted. (In the United States, many health-insurance plans won't cover the process, so people typically pay US$15,000-25,000 for IVF with PGD.) Not everyone with a family history of Huntington's disease goes to these lengths.

Trial by YouTube: effects of expert psychiatric witness testimony on viewers' opinions of Amber Heard and Johnny Depp
We aimed to assess whether viewing expert witness evidence regarding the mental health of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard in the 2022 court case in the USA would affect viewers' attitudes towards the mental health of the two protagonists and towards mental illness in general. After viewing excerpts of the cross-examination evidence, 38 trial-naive undergraduate students completed the Prejudice towards People with a Mental Illness (PPMI) scale.
Following viewing, participants held more stigmatising views of the protagonists than they held about mental disorders in general.
It is plausible that mass media trial coverage further stigmatises mental illness.
