The jury in the Amber Heard and Johnny Depp trial have officially reached a verdict.

Johnny Depp won his defamation case against his ex-wife Amber Heard on Wednesday and was awarded $15 million in damages.

Johnny was awarded $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages in his defamation suit.

The jury in Fairfax, Virginia, began deliberating Friday. The jurors consisted of five men and two women.

Depp sued Heard for $50 million after she wrote an essay for The Washington Post in 2018 that said she was a domestic abuse survivor. Amber has countersued Depp for $100 million.

The seven-person jury also awarded $2 million in compensatory damages to Amber, but $0 in punitive damages.
