Shortly after the jury closed the case, Heard said in a statement that she was disappointed “beyond words”

“The disappointment I feel today is beyond words. I am heartbroken that the mountain of evidence was still not enough to withstand the disproportionate power, influence and grip of my ex-husband”,

Moreover, she added, “I am even more disappointed in what this verdict means for other women. It is a setback… It pushes back the idea that violence against women women should be taken seriously”.
