The jury has returned a verdict in favour of Johnny Depp in his $50-million defamation trial against his ex-wife Amber Heard.
5:37 The jury ruled that Heard defamed Depp with malicious intent in a 2018 Washington Post op-ed claiming that she was a victim of domestic abuse.
Depp was awarded $15-million in total - $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages.
The jury also awarded Heard $2 million in compensatory damages, ruling that Depp’s lawyer Adam Waldman defamed her when he called her abuse claims “a hoax” in a British newspaper.
Depp, who is out touring, did not appear in the courtroom for the verdict. Heard, however, was in attendance.
43:23 Lawyers Ben Chew and Camille Vasquez celebrated the verdict outside court.
