Amber Heard’s lawyer interrupted by Amber Alert during closing arguments

nypost.com:

blockbuster defamation trial between the actress and her ex-husband, Johnny Depp. Attorney Ben Rottenborn was summing up his client’s case Friday morning when several cellphones began sounding the alert, causing a commotion in the courtroom.

As the loud siren sounds blared from phones, Heard turned to look back across the gallery with a confused look on her face. “There appears to be an Amber Alert,” Judge Penney Azcarate told the court. “People are getting it on their phones that haven’t silenced them.”It was later determined that the sound was not an Amber Alert — which is intended to notify people of a missing or abducted child — but rather a storm warning for the surrounding area of Fairfax, Virginia.

Courtroom Moment: An alert that was mentioned as an "AMBER Alert" while #AmberHeard's attorney delivered closing arguments was actually a storm warning. @LawCrimeNetwork pic.twitter.com/chv9lkWfHURegardless, many on social media were amused by the apparent AMBER Alert, with some Depp fans cracking jokes.“How did the entire courtroom not crack up?

That was too perfect,” one pundit posted on Twitter.“The fact an ‘AMBER Alert’ kept going off, interrupting during Rottenborn closing statement is somehow poetic justice.
