In his defamation claim, Depp was awarded $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages.

Heard was also given $2 million in compensatory damages by the jury.

On Friday, a jury in Fairfax, Virginia, began deliberations.

After writing an op-ed for The Washington Post in 2018, Depp sued Heard for $50 million, claiming she was a “public figure symbolizing domestic abuse.” Depp was countersued for $100 million by Heard.

The crowds of Depp enthusiasts who had flocked to the Northern Virginia courthouse during the trial had vanished on Wednesday.

Depp’s fans had been lining up at 1 a.m. every day for tickets to the trial or to cheer him on as he arrived.
