The verdict is in. One of the highest profile defamation cases in recent memory reached its conclusion today in the case of Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard.

A Virginia jury found Heard guilty on charges of defamation stemming from a 2018 Washington Post op-ed in which she wrote about her alleged experience with domestic abuse. The civil jury has ordered Heard to pay $15 million in damages.
