The verdict is in. After six weeks of testimony in the libel trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, a jury reached their decision. Depp won the defamation lawsuit he filed accusing Heard of defaming the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star in a 2018 op-ed, with a Virginia jury awarding him more than $10 million in damages and vindicating his stance that Heard fabricated claims that she was abused by Depp before and during their brief marriage. Heard also partially won her countersuit over comments made by Depp's former lawyer Adam Waldman when he called her abuse allegations a hoax. The jury awarded her $2 million in damages. It came to the unanimous verdict Wednesday following 13 hours of deliberations. Visit @usatodaylife for the full statements from Depp and Heard.
