Johnny Depp verdict

The jury in the trial between Depp and his ex-wife Amber Heard deliberated for a couple of hours and then sent word that they would return Tuesday to continue ...

If they rule that Heard did defame Depp with actual malice and caused the damages he claims, then Depp would get money on top of satisfaction.” The jury is also deciding on Heard’s $100 million counterclaim: That three statements made in the media by an attorney working for Depp, Adam Waldman, hurt her reputation and career by dismissing her allegations as false. “While they’ve been prohibited from accessing social media and media coverage, the frenzy at the courthouse alone is enough for them to understand that the world is watching,” she said. “The gendered distribution of the jury makes that even more interesting.” “One challenge that they are likely facing is staying focused on the case at hand without allowing all of their own lived experiences and biases to lead them to a snap judgment that is not supported by the testimony. According to Court TV, the jury is composed of five men and two women, with another woman and man serving as alternates; they appear to range in age from their 20s to one who could be older than 60.

A seven-person civil jury in Virginia resumed deliberations Tuesday in Johnny Depp's libel trial against Amber Heard. Here's what the jury has to decide.

Heard testified the first act of physical violence against her happened in 2013. Photos of the aftermath showed Depp wrote vulgar messages to his wife in blood on the walls of the house. Depp said he made up that story to protect Heard and avoid police involvement. Depp also alleged he was the victim of abuse inflicted by her. During the trial, Heard testified about more than a dozen episodes of physical and sexual assault that she said Depp inflicted on her. Depp’s lawyers called it a clear reference to Depp, given that Heard publicly accused Depp of domestic violence in 2016 — two years before she wrote the article. The jury also has to consider the value of reputation loss. Because both Heard and Depp are Hollywood actors, they're considered public figures under the law — meaning there's a higher bar to clear to prove defamation. Depp's lawyers are also seeking damages over a headline that appeared above the online version of the article, even though Heard didn't write it. Depp sued Heard for libel in Fairfax County Circuit Court over a December 2018 op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post describing herself as "a public figure representing domestic abuse." (R) Actor Johnny Depp returns to the courtroom after a lunch break at the Fairfax County Circuit Court during his defamat The article never even mentions Depp by name, but his lawyers say he was defamed nonetheless.

WASHINGTON (WJLA) — Johnny Depp did not have a quiet Memorial Day weekend as he awaited a verdict in his $50 million defamation lawsuit against Amber Heard.

She penned a 2018 opinion piece in the Washington Post and said she is a survivor of domestic abuse. The "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor is suing his ex-wife for $50 million over allegations Heard made about domestic abuse. Depp joined Beck for a joint performance of their 2020 collaboration song "Isolation," Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" and Jimmy Hendrix's "Little Wing," TMZ said.

Heard claimed The Washington Post article was not about Depp. “It’s not about Johnny,” she told the court. Ms Henriquez said she was struck in the back. Depp testified that faeces were found in the couple’s bed in 2016. Depp said Heard threw a vodka bottle that severed the top of his right middle finger. Heard said she never edited the photos, and used make-up to cover injuries. She told the court: “I remember looking down on him… The burden of proof is also lighter in a civil case than a criminal case. Heard has said “she didn’t assault Johnny, ever”. Depp testified that he never hit Heard or any other woman. The jurors will reconvene on Tuesday to continue deliberating. Neither Heard nor Depp are being tried on any criminal charges. They each deny the other’s claims.

Jurors considering opposing lawsuits brought by former spouses Johnny Depp and Amber Heard continued deliberations on Tuesday after sending a question to ...

The newspaper is not a defendant. Heard denied injuring Depp's finger and said Depp sexually assaulted her that night with a liquor bottle. He said the top of the finger was severed when Heard threw a vodka bottle at him in 2015. The headline said Heard "spoke up against sexual violence - and faced our culture's wrath." The article did not mention Depp by name but his lawyer told jurors it was clear that Heard was referring to him. At the center of the legal case is a December 2018 opinion piece by Heard in the Washington Post in which she made the statement about domestic abuse.

Former “Pirates of the Caribbean” star Johnny Depp has been locked in a protracted defamation trial with his ex-wife Amber Heard for the last several weeks.

“Jeff Beck and I recorded this song Isolation last year, as our take on a beautiful John Lennon tune. Afraid of the Sun!’ — seemed to Jeff and me especially profound right now, this song about isolation, fear, and existential risks to our world,” Depp said back then in a press release on Beck’s website. Here he is, my good mate.” “He came knocking on my dressing room door about five years ago, and we haven’t stopped laughing since,” the “E-Pro” singer said. Ahead of verdict in trial with Heard, Johnny Depp straps on a guitar with Jeff Beck Depp made a surprise appearance on stage with guitarist Jeff Beck not once but twice over the Memorial Day weekend while waiting for the verdict in his trial with Heard.

One of the statements is, “Then two years ago, I became a public figure representing domestic abuse, and I felt the full force of our culture’s wrath for women who speak out.” The other statement is, “I had the vantage point of seeing, in real time, how institutions protect men accused of abuse.” “It is clear that the title is the statement.” On the jury verdict forms, the headline is one of three statements that the jury has to weigh in determining whether to rule for Depp. The seven jurors also have to decide whether statements in the content of the op-ed are defamatory.

Courtroom porn and social media have turned innocent bystanders into a mass of mudslingers.

I wasn’t surprised that the memes about Amber Heard far outnumbered those about Johnny Depp. I wasn’t surprised that the cruel and vitriolic discourse was predominantly aimed at the woman. And the queasier I felt about this behavior—even if millions of others were doing the same—the more I came to realize that distortion, not objectivity, has evolved into an acceptable lingua franca. This blurring of public figures and private lives can do a number on us—as bystanders, as an audience. What’s more, we have become so attuned to this narrow, cynical cycle of social media encounters that we consider the trial not tragic or pathetic, but as a pure car wreck: accessible, tawdry, and immediately gratifying. It’s like going to the opera and reading a couple of translated supertitles but not understanding Italian. And despite whatever else this is, it is a soap opera. As we all do nowadays, we watch or we read or we media-graze about these private turned public spectacles in bits and bytes, fearing that the sheer rancor and vulgarity might leave a kind of virtual stench—or, in my case, worrying that prolonged viewing might be triggering.

The jury has been deliberating all day on Tuesday as spectators eagerly await a verdict outside the Virginia courthouse.

First, the jury could rule completely in Depp's favor, meaning Depp would be awarded the entire $50 million he sought in his lawsuit. With the jury continuing its deliberations in the Johnny Depp v. The court has heard audio recordings of the couple's volatile arguments, graphic details of Depp's severed finger injury and Heard's alleged bruising, among other key moments.

The Johnny Depp and Amber Heard defamation trial has grabbed headlines due to the often grotesque and sordid details of the couple's troubled marriage.

Depp has claimed that Heard’s op-ed cost him a lucrative return to the world of “Pirates of the Caribbean,” losing him a $22.5 million payday. Depp seemed to acknowledge that he could have been ousted prior to Heard’s piece, but still linked it to her initial allegations in the 2016 divorce filing. For her part, Heard has claimed that Depp orchestrated a smear campaign that nearly cost her a role in the sequel to “Aquaman,” along with endorsements and other TV and film opportunities. Heard said she had to “fight really hard” to keep her part as Aquaman’s love interest in the upcoming sequel and that even when she prevailed, she still had to contend with reduced screen time. Kovacevic said that “Aquaman” was a global blockbuster — grossing over $1 billion — and that Heard’s performance was favorably reviewed, and argued that she should have rocketed to stardom after that, citing Ana de Armas as a potential comparable career path. It wasn’t negative publicity stemming from the Depp legal fight that nearly lost Heard the part, he argued in a taped deposition. But crews don’t love sitting around for hours and hours and hours waiting for the star to show up.” A 2019 Rolling Stone article depicted the actor as drunk and high on drugs, and had raised alarms over the unwelcome publicity that he could bring to projects. But the op-ed was published two and a half years after Heard first leveled abuse allegations, which had already led studios to begin to turn away from the star. But the testimony showed that Depp was a star in serious decline even before the allegations, and a series of legal setbacks made him virtually unemployable by major studios. Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland” with Depp as the Mad Hatter grossed over $1 billion, while the duo also scored a hit with their remake of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and “Sweeney Todd.” But over the last decade, Depp’s box office prowess had waned, with flops such as “Mortdecai,” “Transcendence” and “Black Mass” piling up and puncturing his commercial reputation. The studio had to rely on extensive CGI to cover up his injury, yet another example, one manifested in pixels and green-screens, of the drama surrounding Depp coloring his professional life.

The waiting continued Tuesday at the Fairfax County Courthouse, but some Johnny Depp fans are sticking around to show their loyalty to the actor.

Fans debated whether they would commit to spending Wednesday at the courthouse. Depp’s daily appearance in the courthouse has led to a circus outside of it. “I’m going to stay here only because I wanted to say hello — they’re going to leave after the verdict,” she said. “I’m here to support him and hope he gets the verdict he deserves.” A handful of fans and curious observers sat in the hallway outside courtroom 5J, where the seven-week trial has been taking place, and compared notes on what they knew about Depp’s status. Someone set up a cluster of microphones in front of the courthouse in case the verdict is reached, and the attorneys want to have a news conference.

Law & Crime Network's Angenette Levy believes the verdict may not be revealed until the end of the week.

A jury finished a second day of deliberations Tuesday without reaching a verdict in the defamation claims of Johnny Depp and ex-wife Amber Heard.

During his testimony, Depp testified that he never struck Heard, that she concocted the abuse allegations, and that she was the one who physically attacked him, multiple times. Heard testified that Depp physically or sexually assaulted her more than a dozen times. Each accuses the other of destroying their career. The judge told Depp's attorneys in court that she would not entertain the motion because the case is in the hands of the jury now. In their written motion, Depp's attorneys said Heard's lawyer told the jury that its decision in the case would send a message to “every victim of domestic abuse everywhere.” Heard attorney Benjamin Rottenborn told the jury that a ruling against Heard “sends a message that no matter what you do as an abuse victim, you always have to do more.” Jurors then deliberated another seven hours on Tuesday. They are scheduled to resume deliberations Wednesday in Fairfax County Circuit Court.

Heard told the jury that she'd noticed a tattoo on her husband's arm. It was old and faded and she couldn't make it out, she said. He told her it said “Wino ...

She said that eventually there were so many coins in the piggy bank that it was too heavy to move and she had to stay. She alleged that Johnny had been on a rampage, that the rampage had resulted in a lot of broken bottles. The loudest theory in the court of public opinion, it appeared, is that she was a manipulative liar and Johnny was railroaded. She said that each act of violence felt like a coin she was depositing into a piggy bank, an investment in their future relationship. That it had to get better because she didn’t see how it could get worse. It meant that domestic violence was messy and nuanced and often contradictory and confusing. I watched part of the trial with my mother, who spent many years as a marital and family therapist and whose clients had encompassed both victims and perpetrators of domestic violence. He appeared bewildered by his entire relationship with Heard. “It was rapid fire, an endless parade of insults, and you know, looking at me like I was a fool,” he said, seeming despondent. Gawking and thrilling at celebrities’ dirty laundry is a well-honed spectator sport, but throughout the trial, I kept reading coverage that was tonally a mess: The Daily Beast turned the most incendiary allegations into cheeky bullet points — “The Poop-On-The-Bed Fiasco,” “The Headbutt” — as if detailing a reality-show highlight reel rather than the dissolution of someone’s life and marriage. Watching this trial has felt alternatingly prurient and surreal, the kind of trial in which Marilyn Manson is casually listed as a Thanksgiving dinner guest at one of Johnny Depp’s penthouses. That one of their dogs must have pooped on the bed, because seriously, she said, what 30-something woman would do that? Certainly I knew about it, as would any self-respecting elder millennial weaned on “Edward Scissorhands” and the tabloid magazines of the 1990s.

Fans have speculated on whether either actor will be in court for the jury verdict in the defamation trial.

They have a mountain of evidence to go through, and several verdict outcomes are possible. In response, Heard countersued for $100 million on a charge of nuisance. Depp argued that the piece was obviously referring to him and had damaged his reputation, including his ability to get acting jobs.

As jurors for the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard trial are deliberating defamation claims, here's what they have to consider before deciding on a verdict.

Heard's lawyers said most of the article focuses on public policy on domestic violence and that she had a First Amendment right to weigh in on that subject. Because Depp is a public figure, Heard can only be found guilty of libel if the jury decides that she acted with “actual malice,” meaning that she either knew what she wrote was false or that she acted with reckless disregard for the truth. In the article, Heard described herself as “a public figure representing domestic abuse.” Depp is not mentioned by name in the article, but his lawyers argued that it was clear she was referring to Depp, given that she had publicly accused him of domestic violence during their 2016 divorce proceedings.

A seven-person jury on Wednesday reached a verdict regarding Johnny Depp's defamation suit against his former wife Amber Heard.

Heard countersued for $100 million and said she was only ever violent with Depp in self-defense or defense of her younger sister. Heard’s countersuit, which centered around three statements made by Depp’s former attorney in 2020 to the Daily Mail, in which he described Heard's allegations of abuse as a "hoax." Depp sued for $50 million in damages over a 2018 opinion-editorial essay in The Washington Post, in which Heard said she had become a “public figure representing domestic abuse.” Although the essay never mentioned Depp by name, his attorneys said it indirectly referred to allegations she made against him during their 2016 divorce.

Jurors reached a verdict on Wednesday in Johnny Depp's $50 million defamation case against ex-wife Amber Heard. The verdict will be announced at noon PT ...

The jury started its deliberations on Friday, and were given intricate instructions that have them weighing whether any of three statements in the Heard op ed rise to the level of defamation. “Johnny Depp plays guitar in the UK while Amber Heard waits for a verdict in Virginia. Depp is taking his snickering and lack of seriousness on tour.” Johnny Depp will not be there for the announcement of the verdict.

The Johnny Depp-Amber Heard defamation trial moved to the jury Friday after six weeks of testimony.

The jury for Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s defamation trial has reached a verdict. (Heard’s attorneys argued for the trial to take place in Los Angeles, where she and Depp lived.) Jouvenal wrote that free speech advocates were worried that the state had become “a magnet for dubious litigation aimed at punishing critics and blunting aggressive media coverage on topics of public concern.” Documents from the Depp-Heard case are now public on the Fairfax County Court website. Not knowing how long deliberations would take, the crowds of Depp fans had largely cleared out last Friday after closing arguments. “Actionable” means both false and defamatory — that is, harmful to someone’s reputation. There was a sudden flurry of activity at the courthouse around 1:30 p.m. when Court TV and the Law & Crime network began reporting a verdict had been reached. When the plaintiff accusing a defendant of defamation is a public figure (like Johnny Depp), their legal team has to prove actual malice — that is, that the defendant either knew the communication was false or acted recklessly with regard to whether it was true — thanks to the 1964 Supreme Court decision New York Times Co. v. Like many women, I had been harassed and sexually assaulted by the time I was of college age. I knew certain things early on, without ever having to be told. It will bring an end to the seven-week trial that brought emotional testimony recounting Depp and Heard’s tumultuous relationship and its fallout. The trial was held in Virginia, where the printing presses and servers of The Washington Post are located.

The verdict is expected to be read at the Fairfax, Virginia courtroom at 3 p.m EST. The jury has been deliberating for about 14 hours. Depp sued Heard for ...

"I believe Johnny's attorneys succeeded in getting the jury to overlook the key issue of freedom of speech and ignore evidence that was so conclusive that we won in the UK," Heard said. The jury awarded Depp $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million dollars in punitive damages. It sets back the clock to a time when a woman who spoke up and spoke out could be publicly shamed and humiliated. The jury awarded Heard $2 million in compensatory damages and no money for punitive damages. Depp sought $50 million in damages and Heard sought $100 million. Though Depp was not named in the article, he claims it cost him lucrative acting roles.
