The Johnny Depp-Amber Heard case is about to reach the finish line with a decisive winner, or maybe two potential losers
12:06 PM PT — It appears the jury has ruled in favor of either Amber, Johnny or both on their defamation claims because the judge just instructed the jury to go back and determine damages. We await the verdict and will continue the live stream. The Johnny Depp-Amber Heard case is about to reach the finish line with a decisive winner, or maybe two potential losers — and TMZ is streaming the announcement at 12 PM PT. The jury reached its verdict Wednesday in Fairfax, VA — where they’ve been deliberating for the past few days after a month-plus long trial. with lots of twists and turns, but more importantly — a mountain’s worth of evidence and testimony. They heard closing arguments on Friday, which saw attorneys for Depp and Heard plead their cases one last time in dramatic fashion. Camille Vasquez and co. told jurors to use their common sense, as did AH’s lead lawyer, Ben Rottenborn — albeit with a different spin. Rottenborn said a decision against Amber will have devastating effects on DV victims — sending a message to those who choose to speak their truths, but don’t have the most convincing documentation of their trauma.
