The judge argued that the lawyers Amber Heard they failed to argue that “the inclusion of this person could harm her in any way”.
“The only evidence for the court is that this juror, like the rest, complied with his oath and the orders of the court, which is the subject of his verdict,” he said.
The verdict of this media trial, handed down by a unanimous jury on June 1, states that the three sentences written by Heard in an opinion piece published in 2018 by the newspaper Washington Post defamed Johnny Deppalthough the actor also once defamed his ex-partner through his then-lawyer.
Thus, the jury found two Hollywood stars liable for defamation, although they forced Hurd to pay Depp $ 10.3 million in damages, and only $ 2 million to the actor.
