  "description": "Day 0 began with Depp's lead attorney Chew moving for sanctions after Heard allegedly posted about the case over the weekend in violation of the court's standing order; Judge Azcarate expressed sharp displeasure but deferred ruling rather than risk disrupting the jury pool mid-selection. The court then worked through numerous hardship excusals—medical, childcare, travel, and employment—before conducting individual voir dire of prospective jurors who had encountered pretrial publicity. Juror 7 was struck after disclosing a formed opinion about the case, and Juror 26 was excused after revealing a prior domestic abuse experience that he acknowledged would prevent impartial judgment. Attorneys Vasquez and Bredehoft then questioned the 21-person panel on celebrity news consumption, attitudes toward domestic abuse allegations, and familiarity with the witnesses listed in the case.",
