Was the jury in the Johnny Depp And Amber Heard Trial unduly influenced by the press and social media?

Please view this article before replying. Amber Heard was viciously attracted by Depp's fans almost from the moment the sex symbol and star of Pirates of the Caribbean's face appeared on TV screens. In spite of the fact that the public never heard enough if the evidence to make a rational judgement. I doubt it was possible for the jury to avoid seeing the coverage or be completely immune to it's influence. Cameras are usually banned from court rooms out of concerns that press coverage may prejudice. Clearly in this case they contributed to the viscous attacks faced by Amber that started well before any of those attackers could have had enough information to make any sort of rational decision.

My biggest concern is what kind of impact might the vicious attacks Amber faced, well before any of her attackers had enough facts to rationally decide her guilt, might have on women truly assaulted by a celebrity? The only reason they attacked was because their favorite celebrity was, in their minds "attacked." This goes to show why cameras do not belong in a courtroom.

I don't think it would've mattered regardless, the evidence was pretty overwhelming. The only surprise is that it seems like all decisions by the jury were unanimous.

Amber's team performed so badly out of the gate that the jury probably could've reached the same conclusion in much less time, to be honest. Seemingly everything after the first week or two was just hammering more nails into the coffin.

Not at all. They wore dutifully influence by the evidence seen by the jury's eyes and ears.
Like the audio of her admitting to constantly physically attack him and complaining he goes away instead of fighting her.

No. The whole point of a jury is to let common people who don't have the influence of politics decide what happens to people. And that's exactly what was accomplished.

But can we know that the shit show created by the cameras in the courtroom didn't have an undue influence? If she were innocent, and the jury had ruled such, how much damage would have been done to her life? One thing is clear, the attacks began long before anyone had enough facts for them to decide. Yet they attacked her.

Amber lost the trial because she was terrible on the stand and Johnny's lawyer destroyed her there. That's why, plain and simple.
