What Does the Verdict mean?

There's been some confusion over what the verdict in the Johnny Depp v. Amber Heard case actually meant, and hopefully this post can clear it up a little.

LegalEagle has a good video about this for anyone wishing to see in more depth about it.

The Case:

Johnny Depp brought a case against Amber Heard, suing her for defamation over the op-ed she wrote for The Washington Post in which she described herself as a "public figure representing domestic abuse." and sought $50m in damages.

Amber Heard counter-sued for $100m, claiming Depp's attorney defamed her by declaring her allegations of abuse a hoax.

The Verdict:

The Jury found that AH defamed JD in three separate statements in The Washington Post piece, and that Depp defamed Heard with one statement his attorney made.

Depp was awarded $10m in compensatory, $5m in punitive (capped at $350,000).

Heard was awarded $2m in compensatory, $0 in punitive.

What Does it All Mean?

First, let's get the difference between "compensatory" and "punitive" out of the way.

Compensatory- compensates for damage suffered. It's money awarded to make up for the party's suffering.

Punitive- punishes for actions taken. If one party is awarded punitive damages, it means the jury wishes to punish the other party for their actions.

Next, the jury. You can find the full verdict form for the case here. Depp's claim will run pages 11-14, and Heard's claim will run pages 20-23.

The Jury ruled in favor of all three of JD's statement claims.

They found for all three statements from the op-ed that JD had proven all elements of defamation, and that AH made the claims with actual malice.*

This means they not only did not find AH's testimony and presented evidence to be credible against the testimony and evidence presented by JD, they found her to be untruthful when she described herself as a victim of domestic violence in her op-ed and so defamed JD by indirectly referring to him in the piece.

The Jury only ruled in favor of one of AH's statement claims.

This means they found that one of the statements made by Adam Waldman, namely the one where he calls AH's allegations a hoax and details how he believed how she and her friends pulled it off, to be defamatory.

The reason they would have found this hoax statement defamatory, and not the other hoax statement, would be because Waldman went into detail on how he believed they pulled it off, and stated such as fact rather than opinion. Mr. Waldman was not there to witness his claims and therefore could not know if they were true, and therefore the jury would have found this particular claim to be made with actual malice.*

This does not mean the jury found it true that JD abused AH, but rather they believed that Mr. Waldman was working as an agent of JD. (aka: "He's his lawyer and was acting on his behalf. Or, "they're the same person," figuratively speaking.)

*"Actual Malice" in legal terms simply means that the party knew what they said was not true. It has nothing to do with one party being vindictive of the other.

Other Questions about the verdict under the cut:

But why was JD's punitive capped? In Virginia punitive damages are capped at $350,000, so required by law the judge had to cap the punitive awarded to JD from $5m to $350,000. This made the total JD was awarded to $10.35 million.

Wouldn't the Jury have known the punitive would be capped? No. This is to prevent the Jury from shifting all the punitive damages into the compensatory damages award.

Will AH recieve $2m? No. It'll just be shaved off the compensatory she owes JD, bringing the total for JD to $8.35m that she will be required to pay.

If you have any additional questions you'd like to see answered, the askbox is open.

Congratulations to Johnny Depp on his win in court against Amber Heard, nobody should have to be a victim of abusive behavior. As a person who went through a similar mistreatment as a teenager I felt for Johnny and how horrible it must have been to deal with a mean person like that. Congrats on your win and enjoy your freedom and peace.

idk i think it's indicative of a wider societal problem when a man can openly brag about mistreating women and violently assaults a coworker on camera and you still have people on here making cutesy edits about him and people on twitter saying they think he's "cooler now". wwe has a history of men in power who abuse it freely and cm punk took that mentality to a place that didn't tolerate it. let's all reflect on that and why it's absolutely fucking wild you're making posts talking about wanting to suck the dick of a man who represents a culture of persistent abuse towards those younger and more vulnerable than them in particular.

#cm punk #aew #wwe #god forgive me for entering The Discourse but the stuff im seeing is insane #have we forgotten wwe is currently engaged in a lawsuit bc their top guy likes to r*pe? #how tf is aew coming off worse here? #it's genuinely nauseating seeing people thirst edit pictures of cm punk after seeing that footage #reminds me of the 'babygirl' edits made about johnny depp during the amber heard case. #making excuses for white guys literally because they have the most basic white bread good looks is soooo unbelievably pathetic #and btw that audio with colt cabana should make your blood run cold. only sociopaths talk about women like that

The jury saying Amber Heard acted with "malice" by publishing that op-ed is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. She didn't even mention his name. The op-ed was about the misogynistic attacks she suffered after coming forward about her abuse and advocating on the behalf of domestic violence victims. Where's the malice?

#and yes malice is a legal term of art to do with intent but I really don't see it in this case #like she didn't even name him and the focus was on advocating for others not johnny depp so where is the intent to defame #i stand with amber heard #pro amber heard #anti johnny depp #mine #text

Interesting how Johnny depp donated his money to sick kid and environment charities instead of women’s rights charities like. Yea those things need funding too but buddy. Do you understand what you were on trial for?? Violence against women. You’re not gonna idk. Maybe try to amend that? Even for your image? biting scratching

#I’m gonna be honest i was on the fence during the heard/depp trial #my kid sis loves depp and i don’t like heard so i was teetering #but then i learned he made the trail so public on purpose and i decided FUCK THAT GUY #fuck the i have nothing to hide bs that’s not the issue #publicizing such a private delicate traumatizing event putting it on a platter for the court of public opinion to rip to shreds #nothing is accomplished by demonizing either party invoked in a dv case #stop letting people who are not allies dictate what is or isn’t feminist action. #demonizing a woman to prove you’re a victim continues the cycle of misogynistic violence #i don’t give a shit who beat on who or who won or lost #i don’t like either of them but heard was the victim of vicious and traumatizing psychological abuse #directly caused by depps decision to push the women’s movement back again by another 20 years #oofta sorry i saw a tweet ab it and got mad #still high posting :) #unapollagetic ranting🫶 #ava rambles #johnny depp #amber heard
