Johnny Depp-Amber Heard jury sides primarily with Depp
The jury of seven people reached a decision Wednesday in the defamation case brought by Johnny Depp against his ex-wife Amber Heard.
Johnny Depp won his defamation case against his ex-wife
Amber Heard on Wednesday and the jury awarded him $15 million in
damages.
Depp was awarded $10 million in compensatory damages and $5
million in punitive damages in his defamation suit. The jury also awarded
Heard $2 million in compensatory damages.
The jury in Fairfax, Virginia, began deliberating Friday.
Depp sued Heard for $50 million after she wrote an op-ed for
The Washington Post in 2018 in which she called herself a "public figure
representing domestic abuse." Heard countersued Depp for $100 million.
