YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

After six weeks of testimony in the $50 million libel lawsuit trial, a jury determined that Amber Heard was guilty of defaming Johnny Depp.

The verdict is in: Johnny Depp won the defamation lawsuit he filed accusing ex Amber Heard of defaming the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star in a 2018 op-ed, with a Virginia jury awarding him more than $10 million in damages and vindicating his stance that Heard fabricated claims that she was abused by Depp before and during their brief marriage.

The jury found Depp should receive $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages, but the judge said state law caps punitive damages at $350,000, meaning Depp was awarded $10.35 million.
