Inside the court, Aquaman showed a tense face and repeatedly discussed with his team of lawyers while waiting for the jury to announce the final results.

In the lawsuit, Heard hired Ben Rottenborn and a number of American lawyers to help in the litigation process. On Depp's side, he has Camille Vasquez - a famous lawyer of the law firm Brown Rudnick based in California.

After a period of hard work, the jury found Heard smeared Depp on 3 counts and declared the actor the winner. He was awarded $10 million in punitive damages and $5 million in punitive damages. In total, Depp received $15 million from Heard. The judge reduced the fine to $10.35 million to comply with state limits on compensatory damages.

While listening to the jury announce the verdict, Amber Heard expressed displeasure. She kept shaking her head, sadly looking at the lawyer. She was hugged and comforted by her lawyer Elaine Bredehoft. At the end of the lawsuit, the jury found that the actress was partly affected by the lawsuit with Depp, so she received $ 2 million in compensation.

The Hollywood star said she was sad when she lost the lawsuit against her ex-husband. Heard insists the jury's verdict is a setback for women. "I cannot put into words how disappointed I am after hearing the verdict. I am heartbroken that all my evidence is not strong enough to resist Depp's power and influence."

At that time, the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" was present at the Bridge Tavern pub in Newcastle (England). The actor shook hands with fans here when the lawsuit was announced. Guests present at the pub also shook hands and patted the shoulder to congratulate the actor's victory over his ex-wife.

However, Heard's legal team criticized Depp's failure to appear in court to hear the final verdict.

"The presence of Depp or Heard in the final trial shows the priority of each. While Amber Heard awaits verdict in Virginia, Depp plays guitar in the UK," said Heard's lawyer.

A source close to Depp told Law & Crime: "Due to his commitment to a pre-planned schedule, Mr. Depp was unable to be present in court to follow the verdict. Mr. Depp will be watching. final results from England".

At the end of the verdict, the actress quickly left the court. Heard's sister - Whitney Henriquez - accompanied her in the hearings. She hugged Heard tightly when her sister lost the lawsuit.
