Amber Heard Spotted for 1st Time Since Trial with Depp

Hollywood star Amber Heard was spotted on Thursday for the first time since the verdict of her defamation trial with her ex-husband Johnny Depp. Her outing came just a week after the conclusion of the court.

Heard was seen with her sister Whitney Henriquez, assistant and bodyguard and she was in her way to fly into New Jersey's Teterboro Airport via private jet.

After that, she was then driven to New York City before returning back to the airport and flying in to Washington, D.C, that same day, before she returned to her home in Virginia.

Depp won his multimillion-dollar defamation case against his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard.

After less than three days of deliberation, the seven-person jury handed down the verdict in Virginia and found that Depp had been defamed by three statements in a 2018 Washington Post op-ed she wrote about her experience with domestic abuse and described herself as “a public figure representing domestic abuse”.

Depp was seeking $50 million in damages, but the jury has awarded him $15 million — $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages.

However, Judge Penney Azcarate reduced the punitive damages figure to $350,000, the maximum allowed in the state, which makes Depp’s total haul around $10.4 million.

The jury, consisted of five men and two women, also concluded that Heard was defamed by a lawyer for Depp who accused her of creating a detailed hoax surrounding the abuse allegations. She was awarded $2 million in compensatory damages to Heard, but $0 in punitive damages.
