Jury begins deliberations on the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard trial decision

The defamation trial of Johnny Depp against his ex-wife Amber Heard will be concluded shortly once the jury renders its judgement following deliberations.

The jury is mulling over a mound of testimony and evidence, implying that the decision will be delayed.

Before deliberations began Friday afternoon, jurors were given 37 pages of jury instructions. There are also eight other types of verdicts. They debated for two hours before adjourning for the weekend.

The jury reconvened Tuesday morning at the Fairfax County Courthouse to begin deliberations. Attorneys for both parties will be there and waiting for any discussions or developments, but neither Depp nor Heard have been seen. It’s unknown if they’ll be there for the decision, which might come as soon as today.

Depp is suing Heard for defamation in a defamation action for just under $50 million for a 2018 Washington Post op-ed in which the actress claimed she was a survivor of domestic abuse.

Johnny Depp has denied ever being aggressive to her, but she is suing for double the amount.

It is hard to predict how long the jury will deliberate in the defamation suit between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp. This is because the jury must make a unanimous decision and there is a large amount of evidence to consider.
