It has attracted some prominent names like Elon Musk as well as Kate Moss, who spoke on behalf of her former co-star Depp on Wednesday.

Here’s when you can expect the verdict, and what the outcome of the trial could be.

What is the verdict in the trial of Depp and Heard?

The legal teams of Depp, as well as Heard, will release their final announcements on the 27th of May on the 27th day of May.

When the final arguments are been made the jury is sent off to take a look at their decision.

What is the reason Johnny Depp suing Amber Heard?

Depp is seeking to sue Heard as his ex-wife for $50 million (PS40m) due to an article she wrote for The Washington Post in 2018 which she declared herself an “public figure representing domestic abuse”.

Heard didn’t mention Depp in the piece, but Heard claims that it has caused him to lose his acting gigs.

She counter-sued him for $100m, alleging Depp insulted her by referring to her claims as “fake” and his lawyers described her claims to be “fake” and a “sexual violence hoax”.

The couple that was previously married, which was married between the year 2015 until 2017 both accuse each one of having been physically violent during their marriage. Both deny the allegations of the other.

Depp and Heard were seen together in 2009 while filming their set for The Rum Diary In the film, they appeared as lovers.

The couple issued the joint statement following the divorce was finalized and stated: “Our relationship was intensely passionate and at times volatile, but always bound by love.”

What are the potential outcomes of the test?

The jury will decide if it is a matter of probabilities, Heard did defame Depp in the 2018 Washington Post article.

If they determine that she did, she’ll be required to compensate Depp’s costs. Depp is seeking $50 million (PS40m) in damages however, the jury could decide to award him more or less than the amount.

If they are in favor of Heard Depp will not be required any obligation of paying Depp any cash.

Heard that he will not be sent to jail even when the jury rules that Depp is the winner.

This is an open trial for civil litigants which is not a criminal matter. There is no evidence that Heard or Depp are being investigated for criminal charges.

The term “civil case” refers to a court proceeding that which a person or organization (the plaintiff) can hold another individual (or entity) (the defendant) accountable for a specific type of wrongdoing or infraction. If someone is sued, it’s a civil matter.

If the plaintiff wins and wins, they are likely to be able to receive some sort of payment from the defendant.

A civil lawsuit could be brought on any issue from a dispute over a contract to the eviction of a homeowner to injuries suffered during a car accident and a myriad of other injuries or disagreements.

Civil cases are designed to pay the victim of hurt, rather than punish the defendant. If a plaintiff loses in a civil lawsuit, they do not get accused of committing a crime like they would in a criminal trial but they don’t risk prison time even if they’re guilty of committing a crime that is comparable to a crime.

A burden to show proof is lower in a civil matter than in a criminal trial. In a criminal trial the defendant’s guilt needs to be proved “beyond reasonable doubt”, while in a civil matter, the jury is required to choose which side they think is more likely.

Civil disputes can be resolved outside of the courtroom. Lawyers representing both the plaintiff and the defendant are often in a debate and attempt to agree on an amount that could be given to the defendant, closing the court case without no having to settle.

What are the most important events from the trial thus far?

— Heard that she was not aware that the Washington Post article did not mention Johnny Depp. “It’s not about Johnny,” she said to the court. “The only person who thought that it had to do with Johnny wasn’t Johnny. The story was about my own life and the one I lived following Johnny.”
