For the unversed, in the defamation case that Johnny Depp filed against his ex-wife Amber Heard, the court found them both guilty and while the actress was found guilty on all three counts, the Pirates Of The Caribbean actor was held guilty on just one count.
The 44-page long appellate mentioned, “The jury’s emphatic favourable verdict on all three defamatory statements stated in his Complaint entirely exonerated Mr. Depp and restored his character.”
The statement further read, “The jury’s verdict and the trial court’s judgement indicate an educated and well-reasoned conclusion on the merits following a full and fair trial, and they should be mostly (but not totally) upheld. However, the trial court was confronted with a number of innovative and complicated legal and factual issues; although the trial court handled the vast majority of those issues intelligently and correctly, a few findings were incorrect.”
