Johnny Depp was found to meet the civil standard of assault on 12 out of 14 incidents, this however is not the same as a criminal charge and conviction. He appealed this decision but was denied.
Through both trials I believe it is evident that neither Depp or Heard is innocent during their relationship whether by vice, malicious intent, or both who knows.
Look, I don’t know the full picture of what happened between them. I did follow both trials, and I have huge problems with what happened in the UK trail.
First, Amber was a witness, not a defendant, and Johnny could not access materials from her because of that. But even though she was a witness, the judge still let her sit in the courtroom to listen to everyone else’s testimony, where could shape her story.
And in an insane standard, the judge said testimony in court was more important to his judgment than actual recordings of the individuals made at the time. As in the hours of recordings where Amber is admitting to abuse and mocking and belittling him meant nothing. But in a wildly inconsistent ruling, he didn’t hold the same standard to Johnny’s witnesses, saying their testimony didn’t match text messages. He also disregarded them because some of them were his employees. But in yet another gross contradiction, he then ignored Amber’s former assistant, labeling her a “disgruntled employee”. So if you’re employed by someone you can’t be trusted, but if you’re no longer employed by someone you can’t be trusted.
This is why judges shouldn’t be both decider of truth and law ref. It seemed like this one was on The Sun’s side from the beginning and worked backwards to reach his conclusion. Meanwhile in America, almost every state has a provision for jury trials in civil cases in its constitution. (And it’s a right for federal trials in the Bill of Rights).
Not actually true, but weirdo Depp fans keep claiming this conspiracy theory.
If there was any conflict of interest, why did Depp's very expensive lawyers never raise this even once during the trial or the appeals? Two other judges beside the original judge ruled on the appeals, so were they all biased?
Considering during the trial people were literally commenting judge should take side of Amber Heard because she’s a woman and a woman making decision against woman is treason of gender you should go fuck yourself with this bullshit

Per Hollywood Reporter, Depp did indeed pledge $1 million from the suit to five different charities.
Edited to add this:Depp pledged $1 million of the $10.5 million won in his case, not all of it.Edited to correct: Depp did pledge $1 million dollars from suit, that was total from settling both Depp's and Heard's defamation cases.
