A verdict was reached in the Johnny Depp v. Amber Heard trial on Wednesday afternoon.
The seven-person jury had been deliberating for approximately 12 hours by the time a verdict was announced by the circuit court in Fairfax County.
The jury is deciding whether two sets of statements, some from Heard’s 2018 op-ed and the rest from Depp’s former lawyer Adam Waldman’s 2020 comments to the press, are defamatory enough to warrant damages. Depp is seeking $50 million, and Heard is seeking $100 million.
