exactly how much does amber heard oh
[2]
johnny depp after the verdict against
[4]
her how soon will she have to pay and
[6]
can she even afford it keep watching for
[8]
what legal experts have to say after a
[11]
weeks-long court battle a seven-member
[13]
jury has officially decided that amber
[15]
heard defamed johnny depp while heard
[17]
won a small victory the verdict largely
[19]
fell in depth's favor on june 1st 2022
[22]
the jury found heard liable for defaming
[24]
depp her ex-husband in the 2018 op-ed
[26]
column she wrote for the washington post
[28]
in which she referred to herself as a
[30]
public figure representing domestic
[32]
abuse the jury came to the conclusion
[34]
that three of the statements in the
[35]
piece were defamatory they awarded depp
[38]
ten million dollars in compensatory
[39]
damages and five million dollars in
[41]
punitive damages totaling 15 million
[44]
dollars depp's attorney camille vasquez
[46]
said following the trial we are grateful
[49]
so grateful to the jury for their
[52]
careful deliberation
[54]
to the judge and the court staff but it
[56]
wasn't just a payday for deb heard also
[58]
won 2 million dollars in compensatory
[60]
damages for her countersuit against the
[62]
pirates of the caribbean actor she
[63]
claimed that her ex-husband had also
[65]
defamed her on several occasions but the
[67]
jury found that he had done it only once
[69]
through one of his lawyers of the
[71]
court's decision heard wrote on social
[73]
media the disappointment i feel today is
[75]
beyond words i'm heartbroken that the
[77]
mountain of evidence still was not
[79]
enough to stand up to the
[80]
disproportionate power influence and
[82]
sway of my ex-husband the money involved
[84]
is far from the amount either party had
[86]
been seeking depp sued for 50 million
[88]
dollars while heard countersued for 100
[91]
million dollars but legal experts say
[93]
that no one will be paying anyone just
[95]
yet the headlines say that depp has been
[97]
awarded 15 million dollars but in all
[99]
likelihood amber heard doesn't have to
[101]
cough up that full amount los angeles
[103]
criminal defense attorney joshua ritter
[105]
a partner with worksman jackson and
[107]
quinn llp and a former los angeles
[109]
county prosecutor told nikki swift that
[112]
the monetary elements of the verdict are
[113]
much more complicated than what has
[115]
initially been reported he explained the
[118]
jury awarded 10 million dollars in
[119]
compensatory damages and 5 million
[121]
dollars in punitive damages virginia has
[123]
a statutory limit on punitive damages at
[125]
350 dollars if everything stands as is
[129]
depp will get the 10 million dollars in
[130]
compensatory damages and 350 000 in
[133]
punitive damages but two million dollars
[135]
of that is going back to amber heard i
[137]
don't think anyone is writing checks
[139]
anytime soon heard who has an estimated
[141]
net worth of about eight million dollars
[143]
as of the making of this video will have
[144]
to pay dep a figure in excess of 10
[146]
million dollars even though she'll also
[148]
be getting 2 million dollars of that
[150]
back shelling out the money could be
[152]
tricky according to other legal experts
[154]
who are questioning amber herd's ability
[156]
to pay the damages she owes during the
[158]
trial the actor was probed about her
[160]
inability to pay the 7 million dollars
[162]
she pledged to the aclu and a children's
[164]
hospital after her divorce from the
[166]
edward scissorhand star in testimony she
[168]
emphasized that she was not able to
[170]
fulfill her pledge because depp had
[172]
filed suit against her she said i am i
[175]
made the pledge i want to be very clear
[176]
i pledge the entirety i haven't been
[179]
able to fulfill those pledges because
[180]
i've been sued but legal experts say
[182]
that depp can further probe into her
[184]
financial capacity now that he's won his
[186]
case duncan levin a former federal
[188]
prosecutor in manhattan told the daily
[190]
beast whenever anyone claims an
[192]
inability to pay a judgment the
[194]
prevailing party is entitled to broad
[196]
discovery on that point here that means
[198]
that depp now that he has won will be
[200]
likely entitled to see financial records
[202]
and even take depositions on her ability
[204]
to pay another lawyer noted that heard
[207]
has years to pay the money she owes to
[208]
depp noting that in virginia people have
[210]
up to 30 years to collect their judgment
[212]
former federal prosecutor nima romani
[215]
told the daily beast i don't think she
[217]
can pay she kept the seven million
[218]
dollars because she had to pay for legal
[220]
fees the question is whether johnny depp
[222]
is really going to enforce the judgment
[224]
against his ex-wife ultimately the trial
[226]
was less about the money and more about
[228]
retribution according to the experts
[230]
romani explained this whole trial is
[232]
about more than money it's about
[233]
vindication and about setting the facts
[235]
straight
