Original Note:
The claim that Depp “completely changed how abuse victims are treated” and invented a “playbook” is untrue as Depp v. Heard set no new legal precedent. Defamation suits in abuse cases existed long before. This one didn’t redefine the legal system or survivor rights. https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/defamation https://www.bdblaw.com/elements-of-defamation/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1695_Essex_Witch_Trial
