The seven-person civil jury resumed deliberations Wednesday morning after deliberating for about nine hours over two days.Depp is suing his ex-wife for US$50 million, accusing her of libeling him with a 2018 op-ed she wrote describing herself as "a public figure representing domestic abuse." Heard filed a $100 million counterclaim against the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star after his lawyer called her allegations a hoax. Each accuses the other of destroying their career.
Testimony during the six-week trial has included lurid details of their short and volatile marriage. Heard testified that Depp physically or sexually assaulted her more than a dozen times. Depp said he never struck Heard, that she concocted the abuse allegations, and that she was the one who physically attacked him, multiple times.
Jurors must decide both claims based on whether or not the statements were made with "actual malice," meaning they knew what they were saying was false, or were acting with a reckless disregard for the truth. During closing arguments, both sides told the jury that a verdict in their favour would give their clients their lives back.
What is the truth? Everyone is looking after their own interests. They both have lied in their stories and no one is truthful.
Hopefully they don’t shit the bed on this one 🤷♂️
Meanwhile...Depps Dior perfume is selling a bottle every 3 seconds making them $4.5 million per day and Depp is in the UK with Jeff Beck and supermodel Kate Moss, then off to film a movie in France. What's Amber up to?
Verdict has been reached, it will be read at 3pm EST

Depp-Heard jurors face daunting task as deliberations in libel trial resumeAfter the trial began on April 12, Depp\u0027s legal team painted a damning portrait of the woman he says ruined his career I don’t think it’s all that hard to prove he is a jealous abuser: the texts he sent, the disgusting blood and paint writing and drawing he did on paintings, lamp shades, the mirror in the Australian residence is alone enough to say at the very least he was guilty of abuse. i think its more than clear public opinion is with Depp. Its also clear both lied, but perhaps hers was more a show.. and that may turn off more jurors.. it likely did cost him and it was defamation.. she aint that big, so its not reciprocal.. Did she donate the divorce settlement to charity like she said? Johnny’s no saint but omg, forget her looks, she’s a game playing nut!
