Cui bono? Who benefits? According to Cicero, Lucius Cassius, the older ones will remember, always asked this question in court cases, he was therefore considered the wisest judge in ancient Rome; and ultimately, it’s the only question to ask in the Amber Heard-Johnny Depp trial. Ultimately, the verdict is not that important because it does not represent an end or at least a turning point; and because both Heard and Depp, as they have both announced, cannot put this all behind them. It will accompany her for the rest of her life.
