Answer, yes. It conveyed a defamatory implication to someone who saw it other than Mr Depp. Answer, yes .Do you find that Ms Heard acted with actual malice? Answer yes. As against Amber Heard, we the jury award damages in the amount of $10million and we the jury award punitive damages of $5 million.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The jury went on to find that the accusations made against Mr Depp &#8211; who was not present for the verdict due to &#8220;previously scheduled work commitments&#8221; &#8211; had been an &#8220;ambush&#8221; and a &#8220;hoax&#8221; and that the &#8216;Edward Scissorhands&#8217; star had been &#8220;set up&#8221; by his ex-wife and her friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The jury frontperson continued: &#8220;As to this statement &#8216;Amber Heard and her friends in the media used fake sexual violence accusations as both a sword and shield depending on their needs, inflicting them on the public and Mr Depp.&#8217; Yes. Quite simply, this was a hoax. ambush, a hoax. They set Mr. Depp up by calling the cops but the first attempt didn\u2019t do the trick. The officers came to the penthouses, thoroughly searched and interviewed, and left after seeing no damage to face or property. So, Amber and her friends spilled a little wine and roughed the place up, got their stories straight under the direction of a lawyer and publicist, and then placed a second call to 911.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Amber was award $2million in compensatory damages $0 in punitive damages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In concluding the trial, Judge Penney Azcarate said: &#8220;In accordance with law I will amend [Mr Depp&#8217;s punitive compensation] to the statutory cap to $350,000. Thank you to the attorneys for your professionalism. Court is adjourned. &#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The verdict comes just days after the closing arguments were read out on Friday (27.05.22), which saw Depp\u2019s lawyer Camille Vasquez, 38, start rebuttal arguments and accused Heard\u2019s team of mischaracterising witness testimony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vasquez said about Heard: \u201cShe has come too far, she can\u2019t back down. Her story is a constantly moved target. It never stays the<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>same. Mr Depp owns his mistakes. You saw him doing that on the stand. The evidence overwhelmingly shows that Ms Heard is an abuser and that she is a liar. She lied about Mr Depp and took on the role of a lifetime as a public figure representing abuse.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Amber&#8217;s lawyer Benjamin Rottenborn argued that the lawsuit is not about Depp\u00b4s reputation and was instead part of an ongoing smear campaign Depp launched after Heard filed for divorce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Johnny Depp has won his defamation case against Amber Heard.
