The jury in the bitter defamation trial being fought between divorced Hollywood actors Johnny Depp and Amber Heard in Fairfax County, Virginia, has reached a verdict, rolling the end credits on seven weeks of blockbuster drama that has been devoured by online audiences around the world.
Mr Depp, 58, sued Ms Heard, 35, for $50m (£40m) over an opinion piece she wrote for The Washington Post in December 2018 in which she discussed domestic abuse and experiencing “the full force of our culture’s wrath for women who speak out”.
