but johnny depp is not here.appears he is in newcastle in the u.k., but amber heard is here inside the court, with her team waiting for the verdict. johnny depp's legal team is here. back to that 19-year-old, i asked what was so fascinating about the case. she said she was a johnny depp fan, enjoyed his movies, felt it was important to be here. that is what other fans have been saying. in terms of amber heard fans, i have to be honest, there have not been many. you can usually spot them because there are three or four of them, and there is one person that all the media talks to because often it is the only person. that can tell you a lot about which way this has been going publicly. you hear legal experts say this is a tale of two trials, one inside the courthouse, and one here outside in public debate. people have their mobile phones out, looking -- it is all being televised, so they are waiting and watching like all of us for the verdict. lewis: we have been chatting for a while and we have not really explained

the same goes with johnny depp. i know the jury ruled in favor of johnny depp here. there's questions about whether or not he be as bankable as he was a few years ago. you can see a lot of people have cell phones ready. these people think that they see johnny depp come out waving with his fists. that's not going to happen. he's not there. martha. >> martha: she may come out if she wants to command a little bit of attention in this moment. my guess career-wise is that johnny depp comes out with new opportunities. you can see part of his statement. we want to bring in judge jeanine. we're standing by at the courthouse with help from you. here's the statement just released from johnny depp who says "six years ago my life, the life of my children, the lives of those closest to me and the lives of the people that for many, many years have supported and believed in me were forever changed. all in the blink of an eye. false, very serious and criminal allegations were levied at me by the media, which trigger add barrage of hateful contend, although know charges were ever bro

it's important to know that never mentions johnny depp by name. depp's attorney say that piece indirectly referred to claims heard made against depp during their divorce. depp claims it cost him movie roles. she is counter suing and sought to prove he did physically abuse her. she claims she was only ever violent with depp in self-defense or defense of her younger sisters. jurors have heard 100 hours of testimony. >> you see everyone seated as they prepare to hear the verdict. some of the big names who testified include kate moss, depp's former girlfriend. now a source close to johnny depp says he'll not be in the courtroom. he had previously scheduled work commitment. joining me now to discuss this and to track this coverage live, nbc's ron allen and we're going to go to the courtroom. they're going to read the verdict any moment now. >>> and as we await the reading of the verdict, we're staring at amber heard looking very serious, very somber there. i do want to bring in ron allen. i also have a legal team here with me. as we try to digest what w

dozens of people showing up chanting johnny depp name, johnny, johnny. pretty funny because he wasn't even there. he was an english performing with jeff beck because he is john c depp the second or something like that. was the verdict of supplies for legal experts and should the judge have instead ordered the two to remarry and work things out like a couple of crazy kids? joining me tonight in studio to discuss, it's criminal defense attorney former prosecutor, he's argued both sides. so when this case started, is this how you thought it would end up? >> kind of. i can't say completely, i honestly was thinking they would award johnny depp $10 and amber heard $5 or vice versa looking at both of them and saying you both have destroyed each other. 10 million versus 2 million, maybe in the jury's mind, 10,000,002,000,000 to them is like $10.5 to the rest of us. we talk about and i've seen and heard people say johnny depp one. he may have one at this nothing to be celebrated. i think he can win, i think he should take this moment where he's now being accused

with johnny depp. it didn't matter. he was still a huge star. we were still in talks for pirates 6. in fact, we had this gentleman's handshake that he was going to have the movie, pirates 6, so he lost that because of the op-ed. once again, these two very differing sets of evidence talking about the same issue and they found in favor of johnny depp's witnesses, found them to be more credible. >> all right. jean casarez, chloe milas, joey jackson, lonnie coombs, thank you very much for helping us understand. this was a complicated case, a complicated verdict. thank you all for all the insights and for covering it so well. >>> the uvalde school police chief who led the response to the shooting and has stayed out of the public eye speaks exclusively with cnn. up next, what he's saying about claims that he is not cooperating with investigators. get decision tech from fidelelity.

amber sent johnny depp a photo.to. bed and there was human feces on my side of the bed my first reaction to that was. i just laughed. but the actor did not believe in it. we have like yorkshire terriers and each weighs less than two kilograms, the photos that i saw, you know, i mean that i kept such dogs for many years and i saw them were definitely not canine, but the court still sided after the hearing. she agreed to a one-time payment of $ 7 million instead. the actress promised to transfer the entire amount to a charitable foundation, however, she did not give them to them, judging by what the lawyers found. yes , according to the documents, she did not give this money to a charitable foundation, but somewhere she could have still translate. we know that you can find friends of relatives. this is all easy to do. friends, i believe in a woman's right to choose, what to choose yes, at least ice cream, if she wants to eat it, i believe in a good barbecue, good dancing, and true world peace, why not after a divorce

we heard about the abuse claims that amber heard leveled against johnny depp. of them saying she was the one responsible for much of thing aer and frustration and issues in the marriage, and she insisted she would not have gone out with the op-ed in 2018 if she didn't think the claims were true and didn't have a reason to speak up. we talked also about the social media aspect of this, even amber heard has said she felt she was being harassed online, even as the trial was ongoing, people were ready to pick on her from all over the world, from behind their keyboards and she felt this was also something that needed to be said, that people needed to know what was happening in terms of harassment from fans on eat side of this case from that matter. we also have to talk here about the suit itself. you mentioned the $50 million lawsuit that johnny depp filed and the counterclaim, $100 million counterclaim. a lot of the money, it's huge to all of us, unthinkable amount of money. but what the clients are saying here is that they believe because of their own careers, the

interesting contrast between johnny depp fate this violence. o you. what you make of this? it was very surreal meeting johnny i it was very surreal meeting johnny in newcastle, in terms of the verdict, i think it's an important one and it's the right one. i was happy to have wished him luck earlier on and i'm glad for the outcome. earlier on and i'm glad for the outcome-— earlier on and i'm glad for the outcome. , . ., . . outcome. domestic violence... can i ask ou outcome. domestic violence... can i ask you honestly. — outcome. domestic violence... can i ask you honestly, how _ outcome. domestic violence... can i ask you honestly, how do _ outcome. domestic violence... can i ask you honestly, how do you - outcome. domestic violence... can i ask you honestly, how do you knowl ask you honestly, how do you know it's the right one?— it's the right one? domestic violence and _ it's the right one? domestic violence and abuse - it's the right one? domestic violence and abuse are - it's the right one? domestic violence and abuse are very| it's the righ

we're not talking about whether johnny depp is good or johnny depp is bad. is she good or bad? support johnny depp because that i know what it is when you slander. you are still in public all over the country, but the most important thing in this situation is precisely that the court, having pressure , which puts pressure on the court from all sides, especially all these movements. yes, maybe the jurors were all calm, they were killed right here, but, nevertheless, in america he is a famous person. look, you know how they say before doing, like two fingers. i think, therefore, i do not understand, now imagine made your choice. it must have been complicated, it was an expensive 5 million. shot 14 hours discussed what kind of verdict he would take 14 hours 14 hours, the more you can not buy, you understand the impossibility of the jury is not gaining. not on the questionnaire. there they are usually asked there about everything when they are picked up, of course, but aren't you a depa fan or not? moreover, there will be an appeal appeal. he doesn't want her to file. he says, okay

miss herd was in court, johnny depp was not.nny depp disputed allegations that he hit his ex-wife when they were together. the basis of the case was that johnny depp was suing amber heard for libel for $50 million over an article she wrote in "the washington post" to 2018 over domestic abuse. she countersued him for $100 million. in the course, shocking evidence and counter evidence given. johnny depp played roles in such movies as pirates of the caribbean. he married anne burke heard in 2015. she filed for divorce the judge sent the jury back to consider the size of the damage after the verdict. the jury then came back with a berdych -- with a verdict that heard defamed johnny depp in that article in "the washington post." let's hear the verdict as it was red in the courtroom in virginia. >> do you find that mr. depp has proven all the elements of defamation? swer, yes. has mr. depp proven by a greater weight of evidence that question , statement was made or published by ms. heard? answer, yes. the statement was about mr. depp?

record, but when someone sees you, you don't have a choice. >> with the burden of proof on him, johnny deppor us to prove defamation, his lawyers needed to prove that amber's claims of abuse were false and had her's career. >> mr. depp, had you ever physically assaulted amber heard? >> no. >> have you ever sexually salted misheard? >> no, certainly not. >> what have you lost as a result of miss heard making these allegations against you? >> nothing less than everything. >> depp said there was an abuser in the courtroom, but it wasn't him, it was amber. >> she has a need for conflict. she has a need for violence. it erupt out of nowhere. >> depp described a particularly violent fight that they had when he was filming in australia. he said that amber threw a vodka bottle at him. >> and it made contact and shattered everywhere. and then i looked down and realized that the tip of my finger had been severed >>. depths attorney show the jury photos of the injuries, they said amber hand inflicted on deaf. and as members of his security staff to tell the jury what they'd seen. >> i heard and saw a

johnny depp�*s lawyers emerged to a hero's welcome. hi, everyone. the beginning, that the claims againstjohnny depp are defamatory and unsupported by any evidence. amber heard's case had video, photographs and hours of emotional testimony. slapped me across the face. and he slapped me again. he just kicked me. however, public opinion was throughout the trial firmly behind johnny depp�*s claim that he was the real victim here. ms heard, in herfrustration and in her rage and her anger, she would strike out. suddenly. and i said, "go ahead, hit me." bam! so two completely different accounts of a marriage, and one in whichjohnny depp says he was the victim. and that's what the jury has agreed with today. and not only that, they've accepted that amber heard acted with malice, with a reckless disregard for the truth. and remember, amber heard's account of her marriage was in a uk libel trial two years ago, judged to be substantially true. and yet, from the beginning, she was facing a torrent of abuse. i receive hundreds of death threats, regularly, if not

public figures like johnny depp have public figures likejohnny depp havehat is aced on an important supreme court decision. they have to prove that statements were false by clear and convincing evidence. a higher standard than you typically have in a civil case which is preponderance of evidence. additionally they have to prove actual malice, the reckless dig —— disregard for the truth or knowledge. and thatjohnny depp was able to overcome these legal hurdles which are higher here in this state than they are in the uk and the burden is on the defendant to prove that the stamp mincer substantially true was nothing short of extraordinary. this is one of the most surprising legal and public relations results in my career. 50 public relations results in my career. y public relations results in my career. , ., public relations results in my career, , ., , ., “ career. so why do you think the 'u career. so why do you think the jury came _ career. so why do you think the jury came to — career. so why do you think the jury came to the _ career. so why do you think

johnny depp was awarded $50 million in damages.ght the case after amber heard referred to herself as a public figure representing domestic abuse. the jury found that amber heard was defamed by one of johnny depp's lawyers awarding her $2 million. we have more on the trial. >> mr. foreperso is is the verdict of the jury? reporter: after six weeks in court in six years of angry dispute since they divorced, finely, a judgment by a jury on the allegations that johnny depp had violently assaulted his wife amber heard. was this defamation? the answer? >> yes. >> outside, cheers from awaiting fans, the out come of a trial from allegations that she said were backed up with real proof. there was the video>> what happ? >> the photographs. >> he slapped me across the face. he slapped me again. >> and hours of testimony. >> he just kicked me in the back. was the love of my life. he was, but he was also this other person.

had amber heard defamed johnny depp? the answer was yes. vents and believed depp, awarding him $15 million. the jury also found that amber heard had been defamed byjohnny depp's former lawyer in part, and awarded her $2 million. but overall, they concluded she had acted with actual malice and with a disregard for the truth. i think career—wise, they both lose. there's nobody in hollywood that is willing to take a risk in general, let alone take a risk on two people that are just such controversial figures at this time. whether you believe her, whether you . don't believe he— don't believe her is irrelevant. the two of them are just hot potatoes and you're putting a lot of money into a film and a lot of money into a television production. you're just not going to want to risk it. amber heard said she was heartbroken. johnny depp said the jury had given him his life back. domestic abuse advocates worry about a chilling effect on victims speaking out. in some ways, i feel like we're in a first wave where it's only over the last couple of years

like johnny depp . how big victory was this for his legal team?l, it's a big victory for the facts. i mean the legal team there in outstanding job and taking the facts the truth and presenting it to this jury. this jury as most of the nation closely watch this trial. i think weatherproof, uh, is that both parties are train wrecks. i mean, that was we watched this we went. oh my god. here's a talented guy, johnny depp. that has all sorts of issues. and you've got to know alex his purpose in this western money. god knows he doesn't need money. he wanted to clear his name up. any clearly did this in this particular case, so with this verdict, will he collect that money? well, you may and may not in the sense um, the defense may appeal it, the defense can go to the plaintiff. in this case, step in his attorneys say, look , we're going to appeal this. but if you will take for example , $4 million in settlement. we won't take this up and appeal and drag this out anymore. so how about we settle it, and then you get into the family law issues. how much di

two reasons, johnny depp was simply more likeable and credible.n statements related to the abuse. she lied about donating $7 million to charity. she lied about leaking video and tipping off reporters. she exaggerated about her injuries. she testified that she thought johnny depp was going to kill her, that he struck are so many times that she lost count. but in video she presented to the jury in video she presented to the jury and to the world, it did not support an attempted murder orfelony assault, it not support an attempted murder or felony assault, it showed misdemeanour battery. because of those lies and exaggerations you lost credibility with the jurors and they rejected her testimony entirely. huge amounts of money, £2 million has to be paid to her byjohnny depp. she has to pay him $50 million. it is an awful lot of money, do you think this is a case about money or reputation? this case had nothing to do with money. the lawyers for johnny depp didn't ask the jurors to award anything. this was a case of a johnny depp telling his story here

amber heard was inside court — we saw that, because, obviously, this was being televised — whilst johnny deppegal team were here and they released a short statement afterwards. but this is very much a resounding victory forjohnny depp. yeah, a resounding victory, as you point out, forjohnny depp, but also a sort of a trial by tiktok for particularly amber heard, given some of the vitriol that she's described in david's reporting there. if social media had been thejury, johnny depp would have been cleared a long time ago, probably even ahead of the trial, to be honest with you. the support for him has been pretty overwhelming on there. so i just want to give you a statistic here. each evening, on the american networks here, there are about 18 million people that watched the bulletins. the views on tiktok for this story have been 18 billion. that is a huge amount. in terms of the hashtags on tiktok, #justiceforjohnnydepp has had 7.5 billion views and counting. #amberheardisaliar has had 2.5 billion views on tiktok and counting. i mean, there has been some support for her. there's been a #justic

well, also how did the slander trial between johnny depp and his ex-wife end? reports of several new shellings by ukrainian troops at once come from donbass to gorlovka , four people were injured by multiple rocket launchers, including a child, shells rained down on donetsk three times in an hour. , settlements criminal pervomaisky as a result of strikes , one civilian was killed, eight more were wounded, the retreating ukrainian formations are kept under heavy fire and severodonetsk over 70% of its territory is already under the control of the people's militia, local residents. they say that the departing units of the armed forces of ukraine received an order to wipe the city off the face of the earth, to blame the russian troops for this . the very center of severodonetsk on the square in front of the city palace of culture, the bodies of the dead civilians are simply approached, and even more so, no one will dare to remove them in this city. now it was heard. the arrival of a mine is mercilessly fired upon by the parties who save love, who moves around the c

thejury was unanimous in its verdict — johnny depp took his ex—wife to court over an article she wrotealsely implied he'd abused her. cheers outside court in virginia at the end of the six week trial — butjohnny depp was not there. he was thousands of miles away, here in newcastle, where he was seen leaving a pub shortly before the verdict was read out. tonight, amber heard has said she is disappointed beyond words. also on the programme: long queues continue at heathrow, with more cancellations. the government warns the aviation industry there can't be a repeat this summer. and ukraine beat scotland, taking them a step closer to a place at the world cup finals. and i'm here at buckingham palace, where major preparations have been under way for a four—day celebration of the queen's platinum jubilee. during the day, crowds gathered on the mall, including a group of stalwarts camping on the pavement, determined to get a good view of the royal events. and coming up on the bbc news channel, a new captain and a new coach. but have high prices put off cricket fans from watching england's reb

the verdict is in for the johnny depp-amber heard trial.epp was awarded $15 million in his libel lawsuit against his ex-wife, vindicating his stance that heard fabricated claims she was abused by him before and during their brief marriage. let's take a listen to part of the verdict. >> do you find mr.depp has proven by clear and convincing evidence ms. heard acted with actual malice? answer, yes. kristen: as a reaction -- as a reaction is coming in, many are wondering how the decision could affect domestic abuse victims and the #metoo movement. joining us to discuss that is professor michelle dauber. thank you for taking the time. your reaction to this news -- are you surprised? >>>> i think the verdict is extremely disappointing and worrisome, for a number of reasons. so, first of all, i think this verdict is very likely to discourage victims from coming forward. and i think people need to keep in mind the context here was that she sought a domestic violence restraining order, which she received, then later said she had become a public fig

and now it's in the hands of the jury to determine if that's so. >> but he, johnny depp will not be inave learned. >> we have learned through his spokesperson that johnny, we knew he was in london this weekend, closing arguments were on friday, he was in the courtroom, flew to london after that, and has been performing with jeff beck, a very famous guitar player on stage in london, and we have seen some of the video of the performances. the trial was supposed to end before labor day. that is what the judge told the jury, but obviously -- >> memorial day. >> memorial day. but obviously it went longer than that. because of that, potentially, there were these commitments that are based on contracts, and he is not in the courtroom. amber heard is in the courtroom, and i even saw her sister in the courtroom, so she does have support there. >> stay with us. >> we're expecting this to be read at the top of the hour, just a couple of minutes away. until then, let's bring in cnn legal analyst, joey jackson, and former l.a. prosecutor, lonnie coomb co coombs. this is a defamation case, as much a

if the jury had been social media, johnny depp| been social media, johnny depp would've been clearede, about 80 million people who watched the proceedings. the views on tiktok on this story have been 18 billion. that is a huge amount. in terms of the hashtags on tiktok, #justiceforjohnnydeep has had... has been some support for her, and what has been really fascinating is that there's been two trials, the one where you have journalists going in and reporting on the evidence, as we do, keeping it balanced, and then you have those on social media — because this was a televised trial — and curated content. and that was massively in his favour. johnny depp has won in the courtroom, but he has won any court of public opinion. fascinating stuff, and fascinating statistics. nomia iqbal, thank you for keeping us up—to—date on that story for us. in other headlines, a war of words has erupted between moscow and washington over america's decision to supply advanced rocket artillery to ukraine. russia has accused the united states of adding fuel to the fire by providing ukraine with advanced roc

and i think that those who are celebrating johnny depp are a bit misguided in my view, i remember johnnyp as being the actor who said, and it will read it directly, one was the last time an actor assassinated a president? when president trump was president, as the republican celebrating him, i don't think that this is your guy, if you're looking for someone and i absolutely believe in due process and people should be heard, look at brett kavanaugh, not johnny depp. that's just my view, but the jury has decided and we respect the answer. >> jenna: if i might add, this elevates the me too movement to be all compass and against just women, many men, boys, are victims of assault, so i think it's all-encompassing to say it's not just women here, it's all of us as a collective problem. >> emily: that's great, because rolling stone published after the verdict that had zero mention of all of the vile acts that amber heard engaged in that the jury had now determined to be true. so my question is, what does it take for the media to acknowledge or to distinguish a woman as an abuser, to make that c

you had amber saying i never touch johnny depp. so somebody clearly was telling the story and both wanted to get their story out there. instead of letting the other tell the story and not having any response at all, right, k j. matthews, entertainment journalist, anna los angeles. a pleasure is always to speak with you. thank you. ah. and from today, people here in germany will be able to travel for the entire month on most public transport for just 9 euros. now that cheap transport deal is a response to rising energy prices. organizers also hope it'll learn people away from their cars. millions have already bought their tickets. endless possibilities . a long list of regional trains ready to take people across germany. and all you need is 9 euros. any one in germany, residence and tourists alike can purchase a monthly pass for this bargain price. it will be available for the month of june, july and august. it's an easy deal. you can buy the ticket at a machine like this one online or on the app. and once you have the ticket, you c

the jury concludes johnny depp was indeed defamed. amber heard with the much smaller when our both camps responding to the verdict. vastly different. as you can imagine, this is a straight victory for johnny debt, and he acknowledges it in his statement that he recently released, he basically said our false very serious and criminal allegations were levied at me via the media which triggered an endless garage of hateful content. basically, and he said in 6 years later, the jury awarded me and gave me my life back. i am truly humbler. so as you can see was extremely, extremely elated. on the other hand, we have amber, hard reacting and basically saying the disappointment i feel today is beyond words . i'm heartbroken that the mountain of evidence still wasn't enough to to stand up to the disproportionate power. so vastly different reactions from this voting. obviously amber hurt extremely disappointed, even though she walked away with $2000000.00 be awarded to $1000000.00. i her counter claim and johnny debt having a clue victory. there
