Johnny Depp wins defamation trial vs. Amber Heard: What was the verdict of the jury?
As it is a civil and not a criminal case, there is no “guilty” or “innocent” since there is no crime to judge, which means that Amber Heard, who lost the trial, will not have criminal charges, or what is just as he will not spend time in prison.

After almost thirteen hours of deliberation (12 hours and 45 minutes), the seven members of the jury finally reached a unanimous agreement to announce their verdict: Johnny Depp wins the defamation trial against his ex-wife, Amber Heard.
Amber must pay $15 million dollars to Johnny Depp.
Counterclaim readings begin
The jury supported the actor in the defamation suit against the actress for the article he published in the Washington Post . It is unanimous . Depp had sued for 50 million dollars: it will be 15 million.
THE JURY HAS MET AGAIN. The jury has reconvened for an apparent clerical error. Apparently, the amount of damages awarded has not been filled in on the official form, which already indicates that the jury has agreed with one or both parties.
Amber Heard is already sitting in court, awaiting the verdicts of the trial with Johnny Depp. The actor was absent for an artistic tour in the United Kingdom.
Minutes from the reading, what are the definitions that are expected for 16.
For the second stage of the trial, Amber Heard included two bright names on the list of witnesses she proposed: James Franco and Elon Musk.
The actor did not appear but gained prominence for a video that began to circulate. In these images, he is seen as very affectionate with Heard before the divorce of the actress and Johnny Depp.
The actress entered the building about 20 minutes before 4:00 p.m., the estimated time that the verdict of the trial between her and Johnny Depp will be read.
According to the British newspaper Daily Mail, the model Kate Moss was reunited with Johnny Depp in England, while awaiting the verdict of the trial. The model was among the guests who attended the actor’s rock concert with Jeff Beck in London. The former couple would have previously met backstage at the show.
While inside the courthouse in Fairfax, Virginia, the jury deliberates on the trial of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, experts already predict a likely outcome of the ruling. According to Alan Solman, a former trial lawyer in that court and consulted by the Law and Crime site, the balance so far tilts towards the Pirates of the Caribbean actor, since his team of lawyers, led by Camille Vasquez and Benjamin Chew, “ He did a great job during the trial.” Meanwhile, those of the Aquaman actress “did not.”
If Johnny Depp loses the trial, he will face a compensation of 100,000,000 dollars for the counterclaim of Amber Heard. While the actress will have to pay half, which is 50,000,000 dollars.
The actor will not be present at the culmination of the trial against Amber Heard. The protagonist of “Pirates of the Caribbean” is attending other commitments “contracted before the trial” in the United Kingdom, they were told from his entourage to the American media.
“He plays the guitar while Amber Heard awaits the verdict. Depp’s teasing and lack of seriousness are on tour…”, a close friend of the actress told TMZ.
THE VERDICT WILL BE KNOWN TODAY
At 2:00 pm (Peru time) 3:00 pm ET this Wednesday, June 1, the jury will announce the final verdict in the defamation case between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard.

Whitney Henriquez, sister of Amber Heard, testified that she witnessed Johnny Depp repeatedly punch the actress in the face during an argument in the couple’s penthouse apartment in March 2015.
Henriquez thus corroborated his sister’s version before the Fairfax court (Virginia, USA), in which the defamation lawsuit that Depp filed against Heard is being settled.
According to Henríquez’s story, the actor had a fight with Amber Heard that day, they both shouted at each other and, in addition to beating her ex-partner, she also attacked her.

Although the case is currently being heard in court, there are no criminal charges that are or could be filed against either person, as this is a civil dispute and not a criminal case, so there is no chance that Depp or Heard go to prison.

The verdicts are expected to be read at 4:00 p.m. (Argentine time), in the Court of Fairfax, Virginia.

The jury also reached a verdict on Heard’s $100 million counterclaims against Depp. She said that she was smeared when a lawyer for the actor called the allegations of abuse against her fabrications.

Victory without damages: there would be no financial compensation and it could be declared a mistrial.
Appeal: It is a very likely route because the reputation and career of two great movie stars are at stake.
Waiting for the resolution, expectations are growing and there is much speculation.
Neither of them will be declared guilty or innocent since it is not a complaint of abuse, assault, or rape. The judge will rule if it was Johnny Depp or Amber Heard who defamed.
Case Highlights
After days of deliberation, today, June 1, the final verdict could be known in the defamation case between Johnny Depp and his ex-wife, Amber Heard. Here are some highlights from the trial over the last six weeks.
The seven members of the jury – five men and two women – began deliberating on Friday, at the end of six weeks of testimony in the court of Fairfax, a small town near Washington. They resumed this Tuesday because Monday was a holiday in the United States.
But in more than nine hours they have not reached a decision and will resume deliberations on Wednesday morning. Johnny Depp has traveled to the United Kingdom to participate, Sunday and Monday, in two concerts by British singer Jeff Beck.
A spokeswoman for Amber Heard did not want to confirm “at this time” if the actress would be present when the verdict is announced.
The jury reaches a verdict
It’s about time… After more than thirteen hours of deliberation, the jury has reached a final verdict, which will be read in Fairfax Court in the next hour: At 3:00 pm ET.
It is a matter of minutes to know the jury’s decision. Amber Heard will be present, but Johnny Depp will not.
Last Friday, May 27, the defense of both parties presented the final arguments and the jury began the deliberations.
The seven people who make up the jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict on Friday and activities were paused for the long weekend for Memorial Day, so they resumed until yesterday, Tuesday, May 31.
After more than nine hours of deliberation, the jury did not reach a verdict, so this Wednesday, June 1, the third day of deliberation is taking place
Johnny Depp asks to remove from the registry an “inappropriate argument” from Amber Heard’s lawyer
While both parties await a verdict, the actor’s legal team seeks to have some statements made by one of the actress’s lawyers removed and not considered by the jury, however, the motion was rejected
The deliberation process is being carried out with secrecy, so not much is known about it. Yesterday, Judge Penney Azcarate met with the legal team of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, without the celebrities present.
Contrary to what many thought, the meeting was due to doubt of the jury at the time of deliberation and not because there is already a final verdict. The jury wanted to clarify whether the headline should be considered on its own and not in the context of the entire opinion piece. Depp’s legal team replied that yes, the headline of the article written by Amber should be considered on its own.
In the headline, Amber claims to have been a victim of sexual assault. The jury, questioning this, may not believe her testimony, which means a slight bias in favor of Johnny. This has been the only update of the process.
The jury has finally reached an agreement in the trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, at 9:00 p.m. Spanish time, the result of this media trial will be announced.
The judge has summoned Johnny Depp and Amber Heard at 3:00 p.m. on the East Coast of the United States where we will finally see the result of the trial and who will have won.
The model and ex of the actor came out in defense of Depp after the harsh accusations of Amber Heard. The model denied the rumors that Johnny Depp pushed her down the stairs: “No. He never pushed me, kicked me, or threw me down the stairs.”
The petition so that Amber Heard does not appear in the second part of Aquaman has received more than 4.5 million signatures on change.org, thus being the largest petition published on said portal. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, will be released in March 2023, will Heard finally come out?
Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard trial: What form does the jury have to fill out when sentencing
Currently, the seven members of the jury are deliberating. To do this, the jury must fill out a 42-question questionnaire that will lead them to make a unanimous decision. The document was released by the Fairfax court and shows 24 questions for Depp’s claims and 18 for Heard’s counterclaim. This verdict form is used to formalize the jury’s decision on the case.
The possible scenarios for the final verdict of the trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard
Johnny Depp demands 50 million dollars from Amber Heard as compensation for damages. If the jury decides to dismiss Johnny Depp’s civil lawsuit, the actor would lose the case and not receive the money he seeks, while Amber Heard would not be required to pay her legal fees, which are another considerable sum.
Could the verdict be known today?
From April 11 to May 27, the ex-couple has seen each other week after week in the courts of Fairfax, Virginia, where the jury has heard both sides of the story and is now preparing to give a final verdict.
Due to the Memorial Day holiday weekend, the jury resumed deliberation yesterday, Tuesday, May 31. Reaching a final decision could take hours, even days, so it is not known exactly when the verdict will be announced, although it is expected to be today, Wednesday, June 1, after three days of deliberation.
Why are Johnny Depp and Amber Heard on trial?
Johnny Depp and Amber Heard are facing off in a libel lawsuit.
Johnny sued Amber for $50 million after she published an article in the Washington Post claiming she was a victim of domestic violence, though she never mentioned Depp’s name as such.
Depp’s defense affirms that his name is implied since they had just separated and Heard filed a restraining order against Depp, which was made public by TMZ, a medium that Amber allegedly contacted to give them the exclusive and show his supposed bruises.
