On today's court TV podcast, the wild ride that has been the Johnny Depp versus Amber

Her defamation trial has come to an end

and in perhaps the most shocking manner it could have.

Court TV's Chanley Painter joins me with full coverage of the day's dramatic events.

This is the Court TV Podcast with Vinny Polytan.

I'm Vinny Polytan. Welcome to the Court TV Podcast. If I sound tired, if my voice is a little bit

weak in this podcast, it's because we just went through an incredible

trial, a trial unlike any I have ever covered and a verdict that was beyond dramatic, beyond bizarre, beyond shocking.

Of course I'm talking about Johnny Depp versus Amber Heard. Just back on on the ground back at the Court TV Mothership back from Virginia where it all happened.

And in this podcast we'll go through the verdict, the moment, everything everything around it and then we'll take a

step back to take a bigger look at this trial we just experienced and joining me on

the podcast as always to talk about this case

They aren't all organized the way they were in Virginia.

Absolutely. Well, first of all, we were on pins and needles for nearly 13 hours waiting for this verdict here and on the ground it was electric no media from all over the world camera after camera outside the courthouse and of course smaller crowds but people still here
