Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard lawsuit trial verdicts [Video]

In a stunning decision, a Virginia jury found Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s defamation suits credible and awarded both actors millions of dollars in damages. Heard was to pay Depp $15 million, and Depp is to pay Heard $2 million. The jury awarded Depp $10 million in compensatory damages, which is compensation for libel, and $5 million in punitive damages, which is the penalty for libel. But, because of a Virginia statute, Depp’s punitive damages are limited to $350,000 — making the total he’ll be awarded just over $10 million. Heard’s $2 million was awarded in compensatory damages.
