Megapints for Johnny! Star pictured in pub with Jeff Beck and UK rock star Sam Fender as he wins defamation trial
The jury ruled in Johnny Depp's favor today in his blockbuster defamation case against Amber Heard. Depp was awarded $15million in punitive and compensatory damages. The judge reduced the punitive damages to the Virginia maximum of $350,000 so Johnny will now only receive $8.35million in total after paying Heard $2million. Amber Heard was awarded $2million in compensatory damages and zero in punitive damages.
Meanwhile, Heard walked into court wearing a black dress and appeared anxious. In a dramatic courtroom moment, the jury returned with their verdict only to be told by the judge that they had not completed the paperwork properly. During the six-week trial in Fairfax, Virginia, Depp called 38 witnesses while Heard's team called 24. Both Depp and Heard gave evidence for four days each, including a cross examination from the opposition lawyers.
