Actor Johnny Depp wins his defamation suit against his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard. The jury found unanimously that Heard’s published op-ed describing her as a  “public figure representing domestic abuse” tarnished Depp’s reputation and damaged his career.

Amber Heard did win the second of her three counts in a $100 million counterclaim. The jury found that Depp’s attorney Adam Waldman defamed Heard when he told the Daily Mail that Heard had set up Depp in a hoax when police answered a domestic call at their home in May 2016.

The jury awarded Heard $2 million dollars. Depp was awarded $10.35 million: $10 million in compensatory damages and $350,000 in punitive damages. Deliberations took about 13 hours.

“Crime Stories with Nancy Grace” on Fox Nation is also a national radio show heard on SiriusXM channel 111 airing for two hours daily starting at 12 p.m. EST. You can also subscribe and download the daily podcasts at iHeart Podcasts.
