What happened at Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's trial?
Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s trial started on April 11 and ended on June 1. Depp alleged three defamation counts against Heard and claimed $50 million in damages. Heard countersued Depp and claimed $100 million.
The jury passed the verdict in favor of Depp on June 1 and offered him $15 million in damages. Heard was provided $2 million after the jury found one of Heard’s three counts in favor of her.
The amount of punitive damages was decreased to $10.35 million, and Heard reportedly planned to appeal the verdict.

Depp and Heard got married in 2015, and the latter filed for divorce the following year. Heard claimed that Depp physically abused her during their relationship while under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
