Judge Penney Azcarate took control of her courtroom Monday (April 25) as Johnny Depp’s redirect testimony got rolling, essentially telling the fans who managed to get seats in the defamation trial to keep their mouths shut.

“Order in the court or I will have you removed,” Azcarate told the gallery after giggles and then laughter were heard in the courtroom. “Understood?”
