The most telling thing about this whole farce is how she repeatedly tried to obfuscate between the words donate and pledge.
She had 13 months to donate the 7 million dollars to those two charities, repeatedly said that she'd donated the whole sum before this trial (both in public and in court), and continues to act as if she's actually "donated" what she promised.
One might argue that this has nothing to do with the allegations themselves, and I agree. However, I can't take her allegations seriously if she's just flat out lying about something as important as donating to charities.
Actually it has the upmost importance to the trial and her character. It’s proof she’s manipulative and calculated in every action.
The fact is, she is clearly trying to make out that this trial is what has prevented her from donating the money she pledged, because until she knows the verdict, she does not know if she will have the money. That’s why the 13 months are so important.
Amber Heard knows full well that she’s playing on the conscience of the jurors, in that if she were to lose the trial she would not have the money to be able to fulfil her pledge. The “because Johnny sued me” comment is meant to persuade jurors that nasty vindictive Depp is the thing preventing these charities from receiving her pledge.
She hopes the jurors are stupid and naive enough to believe that an Amber Heard with money, post-trial, will fulfil her pledge despite 13 months of evidence showing her absolutely will not.
