Will Amber Heard Be Charged with Perjury? - Part 6 - Morgan Tremaine, Unexpected Good Guy
In this series, we looked at Morgan Tremaine, one of the Day 22 "randos" who absolutely obliterated Amber Heard's credibility, and why his testimony might provide the best grounds yet for charging her with perjury. "Spicy Draco" the paparazzi dispatcher from TMZ isn't necessarily who you'd expect to be the surprise hero of a celebrity trial, but in just over fifteen minutes on the stand, he exposed the workings of her DV hoax and drew a roadmap for the perjury case against her.
In Part 6, we look at what's needed to charge Amber Heard with perjury: A willing prosecutor, and a provable case. We'll explore the elements of perjury: Willfulness, falsity, and materiality, with assistance from applicable Virginia statutes and caselaw. Morgan Tremaine's testimony made a powerful circumstantial case for perjury, but that might not be enough to convince a prosecutor to pursue it, and California's reporter's privilege is a big barrier to using ordinary investigative tools like subpoenas to look for documentary evidence. So, even though Morgan Tremaine's testimony unmasked her as a liar, Amber Heard will still probably skate, which sends an unfortunate message about the value of integrity in the justice system.
