Amber heard trial verdict.

If this is not your verdict, please answer no Juror # six for this video.

We're looking at the outcome of the highly publicized depth ve heard trial and what it means.

What are your thoughts on the verdict?

Let us know in the comments.

It was the headline that caught everyone's attention.

In december 2018, Amber heard I spoke up against sexual violence and faced our culture's wrath.

That has to change.

Two months after this Washington post op ed was published, johnny Depp sued his ex wife seeking $50 million for allegedly defaming him, johnny Depp.

He said she said $50 million defamation lawsuit against his ex.

Amber, heard in august 2020 heard filed a $100 million counterclaim against Depp for allegedly coordinating a social media campaign against her.

Three months later, depth v news group newspapers limited ruled against the actor who subsequently stepped down from the fantastic beasts franchise.

While Depp lost this court case, the legal battle and media frenzy were just getting started.

The surreal judgment of the court in the UK will not change my fight to tell the truth.

And I confirm that I plan to appeal in april 2022 deputy heard officially commenced in Fairfax county Virginia.

Following six weeks of testimonies rebuttals and a whole lot of objection hearsay.

Both legal teams delivered their closing arguments on May 27th heard's legal team argued that Depp was the relationships aggressor and even if he wasn't herds op Ed didn't mention the actor's name and therefore wasn't libelous cannot hold Amber heard liable for words she didn't write or publish furthermore.

Benjamin Rotten Born maintained that a verdict against heard would send a negative message to quote every victim of domestic abuse everywhere.

Think about the message that Mr death his attorneys are sending to Amber and by extension to every victim of domestic abuse everywhere.

On Depp's legal team, Camille Vasquez argued that heard was the only wrongdoer in the courtroom and her allegations against Depp were untrue.

Exactly six years after heard received a restraining order depths, Council implored the jury to quote, give him his life back.

We ask you to give Mr Depp his life back by telling the world that mr death is not the abuser Misheard said he is the seven person jury spent about two hours deliberating until being let out for the three day weekend.

They returned on May 31st but only briefly surfaced to ask Judge Penny ask karate whether they were supposed to determine if the headline or the whole op ed was false.

The question is, does question number three, the statement is false pertain to the headline.

I spoke up against sexual violence and faced our culture's wrath depth already seemingly won in the court of public opinion awaiting a verdict.

A flatbed truck pulled up to the Fairfax County courthouse with a vessel modeled after a pirates of the Caribbean ship.

Meanwhile, Depp played alongside guitarist Jeff Beck in the United Kingdom for three nights, Kate Moss reunited with depth on the third.

The model had testified via video almost a week earlier denying rumors that depth pushed her down the stairs while dating in the nineties.

Did mr Depp push you in any way down the stairs.

Heard was mostly quiet during the jury deliberations, which makes sense given her May 26th rebuttal, the actress testified that she received death threats amid ongoing online harassment.

While many have doubted heard's accusations regarding depth, there's no denying that social media hasn't been her biggest fan As of late leading up to the verdict, a change dot org petition nearly reached its goal of 4,500,000 signatures to remove heard from Aquaman to Dc and WB have made it clear that herd won't be replaced although it's unclear how much screen time she'll receive or if she'll return for the inevitable Aquaman three and Warner Brothers, uh, take any steps affirmatively you audition other Actresses for the role of Mira in Aquaman two.

No, we did not.

While herds career may hinge on the verdict, some are more concerned for what the trial means for the Me Too movement.

Me Too has seen many pay for their crimes, most notably harvey Weinstein facing 5 to 29 years behind bars.

For all the positive change injustice.

Me too has delivered false accusations have also been a talking point.

This brought attention to him to a movement that's been applied to male abuse victims and those who have been falsely accused.

This hashtag was met with scrutiny when it surfaced during the Brett Kavanaugh hearings with some coming to recognize it as the Me Too antithesis.

Him too seemed to lose momentum after that with me to remaining a strong symbol of feminism throughout depth.

Be heard though, it's been argued that Me Too could be at a turning point now it's our job I think as women to make sure it lasts.

On May 18th 2022 the new york Times published an opinion piece by Michelle Goldberg entitled Amber Heard and the Death of Me Too.

While Goldberg acknowledged that the case wasn't straightforward, she expressed concern that the trial will lead to quote similar lawsuits against other women who say they've survived abuse.

Whether depth won or lost the internet already seemed to make up its mind about heard there's just an absolute explosion of hatred directed at this one woman sort of as a proxy for many people's frustrations with the Me Too movement.

Will this hurt Me Too in the long run, will mistreated men become a larger part of the conversation.

Will the public be less quick to rally behind those who claimed to be survivors.

Can society handle the nuances of this difficult subject matter?

The verdict is still out on all of the above.

But the jury reached a verdict in depth be heard on june 1st.

Alright.

Mr four person is just the verdict of the jury.

The verdict was reached after 12 hours and 45 minutes of deliberations.

Although this quick response boded well for depth.

He didn't attend with his legal team.

Depp reportedly watched from the UK where he had other commitments.

Although heard was present at the courthouse as court reconvened at three p.m. Eastern.

The judge sent the jury back to complete the damages form but I need those lines filled out.

Okay.

The jury returned shortly after unanimously finding heard libel on all three counts of defamation against Depp granting him $10 million Amber heard we the jury award compensatory damages in the amount of $10 million $350,000, depths total came to $10.35 million.

The jury ruled in herds favor on one of three counts finding Depp libel of defamation for Daily Mail statements.

They awarded her $2 million $8.35 million dollars as against john c depth.

The second we the jury award compensatory damages in the amount of $2 million heard has also yet to complete her pledge to donate $3.5 million each to the american civil liberties union and the Children's hospital.

Los Angeles Although defamation was found on both sides.

Depth emerged from this trial with more to celebrate than heard.

Following the verdict heard released a statement expressing quote disappointment for herself and quote other women.

Depth stated, quote, I hope that my quest to have the truth be told will have helped others, men or women who have found themselves in my situation and that those supporting them never give up While Depp is walking away from the trial $8.35 million richer.

Let's not forget legal fees although unconfirmed, many Arora of Arora law.

Trial attorneys suspects that Depp's lawyers have cost no less than $5.5 million.

So depth is probably getting less than $3 million.

In the end.

We are grateful, so grateful to the jury for their careful deliberation, although significantly lower than the $50 million sought.

This trial was arguably never about money for depth.

Even with the negative press and reports of debt he's endured in recent years, Depp's net worth is estimated at $150 million as of writing herds is estimated at $8 million given his income, Depp's goal above all else was likely to restore his reputation.

While the verdict is only further solidified.

Depp's fan base will Hollywood welcome him back.

Depp was still found liable on one count and parts of the trial didn't present him in the most flattering light.

We've seen other celebrities come back but Depp could still be considered a risk for family friendly brands like Disney.

What's more?

Can they afford the $300 million and million plus alpacas to get him to play Jack Sparrow again, if Disney came to you with $300 million and a million alpacas, nothing on this earth would get you to go back and work with Disney on the Pirates of the Caribbean film.

That is true.

Mr, The trial is over but its effects on Depp and heard's careers not to mention movements like me to remain up in the air for now, all we can do is evaluate what the trial has said about our celebrity scandal obsessed society, Monica Lewinsky, who's no stranger to highly publicized trials summed it up Best quote, no matter whom the jury's verdict favors, beit defendant heard or plaintiff depth.

We are guilty completely agree.

Well, good.

I'm glad.

On the last day we finally haven't agreed.

Thank you.
