Although Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s six-week defamation trial is over, the dust has not yet settled. Many of the case’s important protagonists have been speaking out since the jury’s decision was announced about two weeks ago.
One of Depp’s lawyers, Camille Vasquez, recently offered her thoughts concerning Heard’s lack of appeal to the jury. Her most recent comments, however, omitted any mention of the case’s circumstances. Rather, she addressed reports that she was dating the Pirates of the Caribbean actor.
What Camille Have to Say?
Throughout a substantial portion of the slander trial, these dating assumptions circulated on the Internet. The rumours were “completely, 100 percent, categorically wrong,” a source told People in May. Camille Vasquez doubled back on the claims and showed her disgust with them when she spoke to the media herself:
It’s also an unethical accusation to make. It’s a sexist statement. It’s regrettable and frustrating, but it’s also something that comes with the territory. I wasn’t surprised in the least.
This is “Unethical “
During the judicial proceedings, film and images of the two hugging fueled speculation about an apparent relationship between her and Johnny Depp. During the interview, the attorney addressed this as well, noting that her inclination to be overtly friendly with her clients is simply a natural part of who she is.
This is a “unethical” charge, according to Camille Vasquez. Within the legal system, there are rules that govern the interaction between lawyers and their clients. According to California state law (via Daily Breeze), an attorney and people he or she represents should have a fiduciary relationship, in which the former is obligated not to exploit the latter. It’s worth noting that lawyers aren’t forbidden from getting involved in politics.
