She repeated similar behavior during her recent cross-examination and sparked an online debate regarding the issue.Earlier in the trial, body language expert Judi James told The Daily Mail that Heard turned towards the jury right after taking the stand. She said that while it is common for people in the U.S. to address the jury while answering in court, Heard possibly attempted to develop a personal connection with the panel:&quot;Amber's direction of gaze and speech when she first takes the stand is important. It is quite common for people to address their answers to the jury in the US but Amber seems to create personal connections and tie-signs quickly here.&quot;Lemondrizzle@LemondrizzzleCan someone kindly tell me why #AmberHeard keeps looking at the jury when answering a Q?Is this a US thing as I don’t believe we need to look at the jury in a UK courtroom after every Q?1Can someone kindly tell me why #AmberHeard keeps looking at the jury when answering a Q?Is this a US thing as I don’t believe we need to look at the jury in a UK courtroom after every Q?At the time, the expert noted that Heard smiled towards the judge and turned her head towards the jury before providing her answers. James also noted that Heard’s hair was draped to the left, allowing the jury to “have a clear view of her face” both in silhouette and while she addressed them.James also shared that Heard's body language would allow the jury “to get to see her eyes” and make them believe her statements as eyes are considered to be “one of the most revealing body parts in terms of inner feelings and emotions”:&quot;We tend to trust people more when we can see their eye expression so this gesture could suggest she has nothing to hide.&quot;The expert noted that the Aquaman star aimed to show respect towards the jury possibly with the aim of developing “early connections”:&quot;It shows them a certain amount of respect to them to want to address them directly as it shows a consideration of them as being in ultimate control in terms of the verdict. It helps to build some early connections.&quot;Rambo_One2@Rambo_One2Amber Heard: &quot;I don't recall&quot;Camille: &quot;Let's see if we can help your recollection&quot;God damn, Camille is a SAVAGE!

Camille has the receipts and Amber continues to double down while looking at the jury.
